I haven't had this "funky yellow" issue on either of my suits. It just gets a little dull and less soft. But I imagine that's how suede riding patches would get flying around on a speeder bike at 120 mph

Hey man! I turn my suit inside out and wash it in cold and either hang it dry or throw it in the dryer. The suede does get "ruined" but I just call that weathering! It looks totally fine and is a lot better than wearing a funky suit!

Looking good Teddy!

Considering I got an email from them today double checking if I needed weathering or not (I don't).... yeah, think they are missing their ship date

I asked this same question 2 years ago before realizing it was more of a pain than what it's worth. Between the two chest pouches and the front pockets on the Red Kap suit, I've been able to store everything I've needed to and make my non-Scout trooping buddies jealous in the process!

I'm sure you could make them work with enough effort, but there are other options out there that don't cost all that much and are more screen accurate

Okay buddy, here you go: 1) As I said in my PM, you need the TD clips. Sorry we missed that the first time. 2) Your vest sleeves are flaring a bit. Either loosen your shoulder bell straps or run a new seam line. I did the latter with my own vest. 3) Pull your belt up about an inch so it meets the bottom of your pouches. Also, it looks like your vest has a left over right closure. We're not going to ding you for that, because we haven't specifically listed it, but it's something you may want to change in the future. Switching the side that velcros should do the trick. Looking good, scout!

AGHHHHH! NO!!! BURN IT WITH FIRE!!!!! Yeah not that one.

Well the issue is that there are enough screenshots in the film NOT showing a chin cup on a scout that it doesn't make sense to make it a requirement. But there's nothing wrong with having one. I have one and I like that it helps keep the the lid balance on my big head

Chin cup isn't necessary for Lancer so don't worry about it!

You're in the first wave! And you're in the first wave! And you're in the first wave! Everybody's in the first wave!

I got that same email today

I would avoid the KS soft parts. They seem to suffer the same elephantiasis as the armor. The KriptonTop stuff seems to be Cucblack -- he makes great stuff, I have his vest, but there have been issues with orders taking an extraordinarily long time to arrive. FAC aka MC -- they make quality stuff but wait times can be months. You'd probably be better off just buying a Redkap suit off Amazon for $25 and modding it yourself. My man Gabe here in Los Angeles makes soft parts. Give him a look too: https://www.facebook.com/Maxs-Sci-fi-Creation-Shop-1651285501763603/

Pretty good! The sole is one color so you won't have to worry about that and the tread on the bottom will make it easy to cut the boots if you want to go Lancer: http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?app=gallery&image=354

Hey David, welcome to bs.n! Like Jonas said, read everything, ask lots of questions. There is no need for you to go it alone, we are here to help If I were you, I'd hit this section of the forum and read, read, read. http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showforum=3

I already PMed you about the TD clips.... the rest of the review staff will be reviewing your new pics. Thanks for the quick turnaround!

Here's the clips I used for my Lancer build: http://www.theclip.com/store/Metal-belt-clip-661-Tempered-Belt-Clip.html

The bicep armor is more of a positioning thing when taking the photos. We know they tend to slip and turn around. We just like them up on your biceps (right below the vest sleeve) and turned more forward, with the two discs on the greeblies facing forward.

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

My magnet is on the bracket inside the boot that helps the boot hold its shape. I glued the rare earth magnet on it with E6000. Then my blaster has another magnet in the handle under the little button thing

Just the changes. But in the case of your changes it looks like you will need to suit up, as we need to check pouch placement, drop box height, bicep armor placement and the direction of your vest and bund closures. And for that you need to be wearing the gear. Good luck!

Yes we know and understand. A lot of this is just hard to express in bright line terms and can really vary from Scout to Scout based on their height, weight, etc. However we will be working on the Lancer CRL this year to make it as clear as possible. I always feel that the best guide is the film. When in doubt, watch the movie!

Nice work with your build. Here are your Lancer review notes: 1) Biggest issue here seems to be the shape of your pouches. They are too rectangular. Pouches are higher than they are wide, but yours seem to be about an inch too high. 2) Your right vest sleeve seems longer than the left. Could be the photo but that's the way it's coming out 3) Bicep armor should be brought up to meet the bottom of the vest sleeves are turned a bit more forward. This is bicep armor after all, not elbow armor! 4) The scope on your blaster seems a bit too forward. The turret section should meet the mount. See the link below. And this isn't necessarily an app killer, but your suit legs seem like they were brought in a lot. The scout undersuit shouldn't be quite as form fitting as the Stormtrooper bodysuit. Normally we have to tell people to tailor their legs to make them less baggy, but yours seems to have gone to the other extreme. Not sure if there's anything you can do to fix that at this point. But overall, very well done Below is a link to a pic of a screen-used blaster: http://forum.bikersc...showtopic=14925
