An exacto knife does the trick too!

Great Lakes Garrison ART added to the roster (sorry I was late) Wow we are up to 13 so far! Let's keep this going until we cover the globe!

Looks good! I like that your belt, bund and pouch placement are all on point I think for basic you are good to go. However just in case you were interested in Lancer: 1) You need to remove the clips from your gloves 2) The shoulder bells are a bit too long for you. I would lop off about an inch from the bottom and then you can move your other armor up your arm 3) You would need the extra strap and rivets for the knee armor 4) Boot soles need to be cut to match the movie scout. 5) The curve on your codpiece is a chevron and really it should look more like this (ignore the caption text): Looking good though! I look forward to awarding you Pathfinder status once you get cleared by your local GML. And please, go for Lancer in the future

That's a great pic for the bund dimensions too!

Whoa! You're going for extreme accuracy points! Good job

He's talking 2 pieces, guys. So they wouldnt be attached to the bund at all. The screen scout cod pieces were sewn to the bottom of the vest and that's how Max's Sci Fi does them Mine is attached by velcro to my flight suit.

Also, the green screen biker chase scenes were the very last things shot for the film. Who knows how many last minute repairs were needed after what the armor had been through. A lot of the "hey what about this exception?" pics that people post are from this part of the movie.

Yes sorry about these little things. We are trying our best to clean up the CRL and make it consistent everywhere but some things fall through the cracks. 1) Yeah we are calling for the boot fronts to be cut too now 2) Yes, exactly. Even and they dont need to hang down so far. SC boxes are bigger than the film scout boxes but if you look at a scout from the movie you'll see the dropboxes arent that far below the belt 3) The 1.75 was just a mistranslation from metric! The two should match and they should be 1.5.

Okay buddy, here is your to-do list: 1) We can't see the ribs on the bund. I think they are there but we really can't make them out very well. You may want to take photos in the daylight or else make sure the stitches are well defined 2) Your vest sleeves are bunching up. They may be too long or too baggy but there is an issue there. 3) Remove the clips from your gloves 4) The rear drop straps need to come inwards, so they are mounted closer to the Thermal Detonator. They should meet it at the corners ideally. 5) Chest/back joins... use the same stuff you used for your dropbox straps 6) You should use cotton webbing for your shoulder bridges as well 7) Paint the screw heads on his blaster grip black. 8) Move your holster magnet inside your boot so it is not visible from the outside. 9) Suede patches: is that real suede or faux suede? Also, the butt flap seems a bit short.

Alright buddy, here we go! 1) Front of boot soles need to be cut 2) Pouches are uneven and belt should be brought up to meet them 3) Severe diaper action with the codpiece. You need to make that strap longer. The cod shouldn't be pulled that tight against you. 4) Dropboxes can be brought up and balanced better 5) 2 inch strapping on the chest armor, should 1.5 to match the dropbox straps. 6) The blaster scope sits too far from the blaster itself 7) The blaster barrel is about 5mm too long.

If your belt is up on your hips, it is in the right place. Too many scouts wear the belts too low so they can allow for bunds that are too long. The problem is almost always the length of the bund and the size of the pouches., which are almost always too big Check out my man's bund and pouches: Your belt is in a great spot. I also like the position of your dropbox. A lot of folks wear those too low. Your shoulder bells look a little too big on you. You might want to lop an inch off the bottom of those. Then you can pull your bicep armor up so it sits on your actual bicep and not down by your elbow. Good job so far!

Much better! Thanks

Thanks for your application! We will review and get back to you. Just for the sake of our convenience (and you do want to make things easy for us, right?) could you edit this post so that the graphics appear inline? Having to click each link to go to Photobucket really slows the process down. Next to the photo in photobucket where it says "share this photo", you click the link next to "IMG" and paste it into your post Many thanks!

Congrats my dude!

We wouldn't be much of a biker scout costume resource if we didn't now would we? As was stated above, there is no off the shelf, ready to go biker scout costume. You must obtain parts from a variety of sources and then adjust them to fit your build. Please take time to read the many threads on our forums.

We are here to help!

Like I said, most of us just use the Aker. I keep the speaker in my left pouch and run the wire under my bund. Thinking about moving the speaker into my chest piece though, because I dont like the way my pouch sags with the Aker in it. And also, we have not, to my knowledge, evaluated a Lancer applicant's speaker set up so in this case I'd say don't ask, don't tell.

Static burst is not allowable for Lancer, although we rarely evaluate scout sound systems. I got the Aker for $40. It came with a mic. As was stated above, you can hide the wire under your soft goods.

Your bund is too long and your pouches are too low. The bund should end right about at the belt line and your bund is going way under the belt. Pouches should be moved up to meet the chest armor. Then the belt should sit right under the pouches. Bund and pouches should end in about the same place. Like this dude: Hope this helps! Good job with your rebuild

Thanks for your application! We will review and get back to you

it depends on how much you want to spend and how much you do yourself. With a lot of time spent on a sewing machine you can probably get it under $1000. With a bit more outsourcing, probably closer to $1500 Again, I encourage you to get in touch with the So. California Biker Scout ART, we can help you with local resources.

This one has reached legendary status. Although I don't agree with it 100%, it is a fantastic primer: http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=9781

I can't remember the last time I saw a motorcycle suit on a prospect. The coveralls are fine. They are very easily tailored if they are too baggy

Those are great! And yes, lining up the pouch with the outer edge of the chest armor seems more pertinent than trying to line it up with the ribs on the bund
