Yeah I'm leaning that way. I thought it might be shin armor but as you don't see it anywhere except there, it may as well be a spat.

Now that's what I'm talking about

I think I'm going to repaint my Captain. Well at least the beige parts. Starting with my shin guards

Amazing work my man! When you going for CHiPs??

Yes sir. Looking at the toy I would say it ends at least 2 inches above the ankle

@MrPoopie? Youve checked out that one I believe.

Yeah not all portions of the CRL have been squared away yet. We started with known parts of other costumes and worked from there. I'll revise.

I've already made some of these changes to the Draft CRL in the dedicated thread for that. We're still working some of this stuff out. Where there are differences we'll probably go with a consensus choice that goes to the designer's likely intent. Like we have with the Biker Scout.

The rule with Star Wars costumes seems to be to wear the belt on your waist, not your hips. The ab piece should sit fairly far up. Take a look at this production still:

We don't do Level 3 here. And I doubt we'll even go Level 2 with this one. I'll leave the material open to a variety of things. I just think we can all agree they shouldn't be hard armor

They remind me of these from Fallout 4:

Just for an example here is the Black Series Scout. Check out the ribs on the bund:

True, but we don't know if the width of the grooves is a side effect of having to replicate the design in plastic. I'd like to see canvas faulds mocked up if we can do it.

To me it makes more sense if it's fabric. This guy is a climber, he needs to be as mobile as possible. It's very easy to sew those outlines in if there's enough batting. We do the same thing with the Scout cummerbunds.

Well done, James! See announcements

On behalf of Pathfinders Command, it is my pleasure to welcome James "theenglishdjentleman" Fusco (TB-64287) to the illustrious ranks of the Lancer scouts! Great job, @theenglishdjentleman !! Make sure you send a picture of your coolest pose to @Shortstack for addition to the Pathfinders Hall of Fame. Check out his application here:

My man! You never fail to impress

That would be a pretty thick piece of Worbla, as the fauld looks to be about 1/2 inch thick

It needs to be substantial enough that the stitch lines can be seen easily. I agree with @MrPoopie that batting is probably the way to go, similar to our Scout cummerbunds.

Hey man, that tape you put on there for the Hollywood parade held up really well

And the knee armor....

I'll ask @MrPoopie to chime in. He's got a good eye for that sort of thing

Precisely! I think that's what's going on with the figure. He needs to be light so he can climb mountains and hike hahaha.

We're going for something like this, but without the spats. The shin armor needs to end a few inches above the ankle, and I think the knee plates should be attached.

You'll be fine with your boots, the gaiter covers the whole thing. It seems judging by the soles that the boots were supposed to be like the FOTK, but you probably need some sort of taller boot to support the gaiter and the shin armor straps
