Okay two things: 1) this is Cucblack's etsy shop. He's been suspended from selling here on bs.n because his shipping is very, very spotty. I will say this though, he makes quality stuff. 2) Nothing is guaranteed Lancer. It all depends on how it looks on YOU. Like I said, his stuff is quality but you may still need to adjust it to look up to Lancer spec.

Thanks buddy! We will review and get back to you

Cool, buddy! No rush on this stuff. Just make sure you look the best you possibly can and the rest will sort itself out.

I am absolutely using it as a trooping helmet! I'm not a collector so if things don't have a practical use for me, they are gone... Which reminds me, time to sell the KS bucket!

Yes you are correct, that is why there are straps on the thighs. Thigh armor obviously didn't make it to the screen but the straps were already on the racing suits. And the straps weren't elastic...

Looking good, scout!

Black felt will work too. You got options, bro

Same buddy, sometimes you gotta switch over to the table and taking off the bucket and popping on the cap seems the best way to maintain some of the illusion

Oh damn, Cap'n Phasma on deck y'all!

Yeah I noted that above. I will run some felt or gaffers tape in there. I don't want to spray paint it black like I did with my KS Planning on it brother! Me too.... if someone wants to send me one It's a shame, I expected more given the time and expense. I could have done just as bad a job, and I did with my KS! hahaha. But would I trade this lid for something else? No way.... I believe the molds were created by 3D scanning an original lid. I've heard different versions depending on who you ask And dude, my biggest fear was that this lid would be too small for me. The movie scouts were not tall folk for the most part. I've met Dickey Beer and I stand a good 4 or 5 inches over him. But not only was this lid big enough, but it seemed better proportioned for me than my KS lid

I'm 6'0. The one thing I was worried about was it being too small, but it actually turns out to be a bit larger than the KS. Yeah, those little detail things were pretty annoying, and the hard hat liner took a bit of getting used to but I think I have it set in a way that works. I'll have to try it out at the next troop and see if it bugs me. If it does, I'll take it out and go back to using the bicycle helmet pads I put into my KS.

And versus the KS. KS on the left, RS on the right:

After only 13 months..... finally got it I'm satisfied with it. It's solidly constructed, yet lightweight, not much heavier than my KS. It's pedigree alone makes it worth it. Couple of complaints. I put pictures below. The black paint around the snout is pretty sloppy -- something I could have done myself! One of the decals in the back is peeling off. I can cut off the dangling part though, it'll be screen accurate! The hard hat liner was a real pain to get used to. I have a pretty big dome, so after a lot of adjusting (surprisingly easy with a spinner to widen the band) I was able to get it on okay. I have a 7 3/4 head, so YES! your big dome will fit in this. The lens tint is DARK. Much darker than my KS. There's some pretty sloppy gluing of the lens. See below. The inside is not painted black and there's not felt or anything inside to give that effect, so I will have to adjust that. The ABS chincup is fine, but I like my fiberglass one that I put in my KS better. Anyway, take a look for yourselves!

Is that May 2016?

Yeah but they cover up that helmet hair nicely

Fo sho! I'll post some comparison pics alongside my KS as well so folks can compare and contrast

Just got a notice from UPS saying that my helmet is waiting for me at my local UPS store..... IM SO EXCITED!!!

Great! Let us know what you come up with

Application received, Scout! We will review and get back to you

I will PM you

Welcome Chris! Do a lot of reading and ask a lot of questions

Welcome to bs.n! Do a lot of reading and ask a lot of questions

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

BJ is 100% right. We would most likely be black, since that's what TKs wear when not in armor --as seen in Episode IV. The officer talking to Vader ("Holding her is dangerous!") is a TK out of armor. And since Scout troopers are a division of the Stormtrooper corps, we'd most likely wear black too. I wear a black officers cap when I dont have my bucket on.
