The KS armor has issues beyond just the color, but what exactly is the color problem? I guess I'm the only one who is totally satisfied by my KS lid. I've compared it to the SC, MLC and Altmann's and it holds its own pretty well after a few mods.

Personally, I'd go KS on lid, SC on armor. Their armor is priced nicely, it comes quick, instructions are clear, and almost everything you need is in the box

I think I might look into this as well.

So.... still nothing to report huh? Crazy way to run a business. I talked to Dickey Beer on Sunday, he still hasn't gotten his Fett lid from RS. So that should tell you where we are in the pecking order.

Is this some new addition? I don't recall getting that in my SC kit

Congrats!

You can use the decals that came from SC. Those are the ones that are on my tank! Good luck with your build

Try him again. If you still have a problem let me know and I'll reach out to him for you

Reach out to my boy. He does scout soft goods and he's here in the good ol US of A https://www.facebook.com/pages/Maxs-Sci-fi-Creation-Shop/1651285501763603?fref=ts

Congrats!

Congrats!

Of the three easiest to get (SC, KS, MLC), I'd go KS. There are better options than those 3, but they are easiest to acquire and most popular. SC armor all day long. The turnaround is fast and pretty much everything you need is in the box. You can get your armor all done while you're waiting for KS to send you the bucket.

No fans either. The ear holes on the sides work wonders. They really knew what they were doing when they designed the scout bucket.

They got the neckline on the chest armor right. I'll give 'em that much.

All the more reason why the bund and codpiece should be separate

I'm not a big fan of the KS armor period. The quality of the pull aside, the dimensions of the pieces are wildly off. I like the helmet though. I have a KS lid myself.

So the pouches are 9 inches high? That seems awfully big.

Its the most common one we use. Unless someone can find a better option. The Redkap has a lot going for it -- cheap, easily obtained, variety of sizes, double zipper, easily modded and very few things to remove. The biggest mark against it is that it is HOT. But if we could track down a black racing suit that was cool, didn't have a million pockets and zippers to remove and was affordable, I'm sure we'd all jump on it.

Congrats buddy! Welcome to the Lancers!

Yeah the Red Kaps seem to be short in the torso or something. You could go up a size but then you'd probably have to do some more tapering on the sleeves and legs to keep it from being too baggy. Or you could slit the crotch open and stitch some spandex in there to stretch it out better.

I second that. Gabe makes all the soft goods: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Maxs-Sci-fi-Creation-Shop/1651285501763603?fref=ts

There's no one place to buy everything, and ideally you shouldn't, as some prop makers excel at some pieces more than others and a one stop shop might not necessarily have the best fit for you for everything. Occasionally members will sell their whole suits, but you won't be able to access those trade forums until you post at least 5 times. You can also check your local garrison to see if anyone is selling. I have my preferences when it comes to scout parts, if you want my suggestions, PM me.

It wasn't anything earth-shattering. Just a link to this: http://www.rspropmasters.com/creating-the-biker-scout-replica-helmet-part-1/

The one Dickey Beer had with him at Celebration looked pretty standard to me. Not large, not small. I'm also a bit taller than Dickey Beer!

Congrats!
