Looks good! 1) Shift your codpiece up so it's not going so far between your legs and getting all crumpled up. You want it to look like this: 2) Are your boot soles white? They should be tan

Are my shoulder bells to long?
BikerScout007 replied to TB-1599's topic in ROTJ Biker Scout Armor/Helmet
At least. You want the bells looking more like this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5bU7TNBGsXOYXAzMzhScVJ1Szg/view?usp=sharing Like Q said, it will be easier to tell length once you get your vest, but off the bat SC bells are too long. I think they are 8 inches and the actual ones seem closer to 6. You also want to round them off in the corners. I also heated mine up and flattened them out some too -

BikerScout007 replied to TB-1599's topic in ROTJ Biker Scout Armor/Helmet
Yes they are too long. With bells that long you won't be able to wear your bicep armor on your bicep! If those are SCs I would lop at least an inch off the bottom and round the corners. I did that and it looked a lot better -
EFX vs RS Props Showdown!!

Hahaha me too. RS might be a little bit softer and there's some differences in the decals but.....same -
EFX vs RS Props Showdown!!
BikerScout007 replied to BikerScout007's topic in ROTJ Biker Scout Armor/Helmet
From what I understand the EFX buckets are completely sold out and they are just going to be fulfilling the orders from way back when. So if you get one it will probably have to be secondhand. But I guess that is true of the RS Props lids too -
EFX vs RS Props Showdown!!

Yeah Gino told me he was told "within 60 days" but even he seemed skeptical. We shall see..... -
Okay folks, the match you've all been waiting for! On the left, made of fiberglass, the EFX Scout helmet! And on the right, made of ABS, the RS Props Dickey Beer Signature Scout Helmet! I wasn't able to get a comparison photo of the back, but the EFX has 8 vents and the RS Props only 7.

Looks really good. I would close up that gap in your cod crescent though. It looks slightly too wide. Is that a half inch? I think a quarter inch would be better. Pouches look great. Right in the gap!

Is a microphone system necessary?
BikerScout007 replied to Theneedleslinger138's topic in Getting Started
I second on the crowd getting a pop out of the amplifier. I have an Aker with the speaker in my pouch. Kinda got tired of wearing it though, because I don't like the way it makes my pouch snag. Looking at putting it in my chest armor instead. -
Is soft parts on eBay worth it?
BikerScout007 replied to Theneedleslinger138's topic in Getting Started
I'd need to see a link but there are plenty of soft goods makers than can be found here. I'd also get in touch with your local A.R.T. http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=15362 -
KS helmet and SC armor is a good combo. You'll be just fine

You can try filling the seam with some caulk, though painting may be needed afterward. The film helmets had no seam at all because they were constructed differently

Female build alterations??
BikerScout007 replied to TB_sweets's topic in ROTJ Biker Scout Armor/Helmet
Definitely trim down the shoulder bells. The SC ones are too long. I am 6'0 and I took an inch and a half off of the bottoms. There's also a bit of the bicep armor you can cut off too, but not much. Not much you can do with the forearms but with the other two trimmed down you should have more room for them. As for the chest/back armor, take off as much of the shoulder straps as you need to wear the chest closer to your neck. -

Is this 501st quality?
BikerScout007 replied to ThePhantomKnight's topic in ROTJ Biker Scout Soft Parts
It was probably Max's Sci Fi https://www.facebook...51285501763603/ As for wiser.... it's hard to say. Cristian has supposedly cleaned up his act since opening his etsy store. But at the same time, since we can't keep track of his business, we have no idea if he is still having the same shipping issues and issues with bad communication. I've just heard that folks who have ordered from him are very satisfied. Max's has a good reputation, one or two incidents aside, but they do tend to get backed up so keep that in mind for timing -

We'll see! It's harder to keep track of what's going on with him since he is doing things through Etsy now, but that's what I've heard -

BikerScout007 replied to ThePhantomKnight's topic in ROTJ Biker Scout Soft Parts
Cristian has reportedly done a much better job selling his wares on Etsy than he did here in the forum, but he did have a history of absurdly long wait times and some missed orders. His stuff is top quality however. -
