Only Andrew is going to have that info unfortunately.

This was for a totally unrelated costume, but I bought this stuff to make green lenses https://www.ebay.com/itm/One-Way-Solar-Reflective-Mirror-Privacy-Window-Tint-Film-Anti-UV-Heat-Stickers/273112213537?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=572375875720&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Best place to start is here: http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showforum=116 We have vendor lists and loads of other information. Not sure what kits you've seen on YouTube, but the ones sold by the vetted vendors are anything but flimsy. Some are downright heavy. There is however, Sean Fields 3D print files circulating out there, and many folks have used them to print their armor. Here's a great thread about that here: http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=18728

I love Evil Ted. Got a lot of good tips from him!

In order to stamp out the glut of oversized pouches I see out there in the wild, I have created this guide based off of every reference we've been able to measure. Anyone interested in pursuing Lancer, I would definitely advise using these dimensions. Forward them onto your pouch maker or make your own pattern from them. And make sure your pouch maker makes the attachment tab run the width of the pouch. At least if you are gunning for Lancer where pouches must have the appearance of being attached to the bund. There is a little leeway for the bottom of the pouch flap because we haven't been able to nail down an exact size for it at this point. Check out this awesome updated patch pattern by @woobiee! And here's a handy PDF for printing: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8bgo83jk0a6zwsd/PouchDimensions.pdf?dl=0 Now I can already hear people saying "But I'm very [tall/short/skinny/wide]! Can't I adjust them to my size?" To that I say we've allowed people that leeway for years and the results have been.... unsatisfying to say the least. We have pouches that are too big, too square, too short, or too long. So why not try a more uniform size and see how that works out instead? I've seen pouches with these dimensions used on costumers with a variety of body types and this size works the best. Even the Scouts in the film were not a uniform size (look closely at the Death Star parade) and yet all their pouches are the same size. As an example, here is a Scout (retired), who changed his pouches to 6x5x2. And he is 6'5! Now can you adjust this pattern if you still don't believe me? Of course! We are not adding this to the CRL.... yet. But will i silently be judging you in my head if you have pouches that look like pizza boxes? Absolutely. Hope this helps!

For the armor there are a variety of prop makers that sell kits that need to be assembled. The soft parts are either made by the costumer or commissioned. Since the Legion's primary goal is screen accuracy, everything has to meet that standard. We are somewhere in between off-the-shelf and cosplay. I save all my foam building for my Fallout cosplays. You may want to try the RPF for what you are looking for. Its just not what we do here.

Ugh, that blu ray model with the black leotard and neck seal hurts my eyes

Building costumes from foam is not something that really goes on with 501st costumes. I haven't even seen a decent model of the Scout helmet available for 3D printing, so it doesn't surprise me at all that foam templates don't exist.

If such a thing exists, I haven't seen it yet

I know that guy. He comes to all the cons here.

The Legion is really not big on making new Detachments (see Shoretrooper) and I think we have the best case for the PT! Feel free to chime into the CRL thread if you have any thoughts: http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=19161

Well done! You have been added to the roster. Beautiful logo

Thanks Denis, I have added your language to our CRL! The LMO will probably take out the measurements but I will leave them for now

I'm not really a big fan of their work, there are better options out there.

Okay I was able to look at this on my phone. I wouldn't recommend doing it this way. It seems overly complicated and wouldn't give a screen accurate result. The closure in the back should be Velcro, not a parachute clip. But a lot of the info on their build instructions is outdated. That's what we are here for! Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk

Also, we recommend synthetic webbing for the belt closure because that's what it looks like here: http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?app=gallery&image=64 You can use cotton, but if you compare the two side by side in this pic you can see that the belt closure webbing looks more like nylon or polypro than the dropbox straps.

For whatever reason the site is not opening for me, but that's funny because when I ordered my SC kit way back when they sent 2 inch polypro webbing for their belt

As DL I can't endorse particular vendors. All I can say is check the trade forum, check the vendor list, look at photos and do your research. And when you get your pouches made, tell the maker you want them 6x5x2

We have a list of vendors right here: http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=19003 You've also got some great helmet makers a bit closer to home!

Just my opinion but I would lose all those soft goods and start over again First, the pouches are too big. We recommend 6x5x2 for pouch dimensions, with a 2 inch attachment tab at the top The bund appears to be the right height, should be between 8 and 10 inches high. It just looks like you need one a bit wider so that it connects right in the back. And I'm not sure what's up with that codpiece. I've seen a few of these floating around and I need to find out who makes them and tell them to stop it! The cod doesn't go down straight on the sides and then funnel out at the bottom. It should look more like this: So that it looks like this when you wear it: I would trim maybe an inch off the shoulder bells and use zipties so they sit closer to the shoulder bridge. That distance should only be about an inch.

Yeah it must be industrial Velcro or it won't work. Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk

I love that new photo. Looks like they simplified a lot from the original design! To me it looks like a motorcycle cop: leather jacket, pants with trim and jackboots. The jacket looks like one piece, not just stray gaskets on the arms
