Your best bet is to get a Redkap suit and do your own modifications. That’s the best way to get it right. You can find all sorts of information in the armory forum on how to do the mods. Their flight suit isn’t a good choice and will require a bunch of mods to get right. It’s cheaper to get a Redkap and do the mods yourself. For the gloves Wampa will work just fine just keep in mind to order a size larger than you need as they run a little small.

If you need any help or clarification don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’re here to help you become the best looking Scout you can be.

I would strongly encourage opening the frown with mesh behind to enable more airflow into the bucket. All the TK buckets have a mesh type some are left to the user (ESB, ANH) and some specify like the Rebels TK with a metal mesh. I’m all for accuracy but you got to keep your brain cool when it’s encased in ABS or plastisteel! If there is a concern with Anovos and their accuracy I’d reach out to the DL and see if we can tag up with LFL and possibly get some more info. I’m just coming at this from a safety issue. The more air you have flowing through the more comfortable and safer you will be.

It could possibly be prototyping from the armor squad at LFL. Maybe it’s something Nilo had made to see if George approved before he went all in on production then they made changes to the kits that we recognize today.

Welcome Taylor! It’s great to have you onboard!

Congrats Ranger!

Think about taking into account aging when looking at screen used helmets. Over time some colors are going to dull and become much less vibrant unless it’s been professionally restored. I would try and match it to a set photo from ‘83 or possibly a pic from Nilo’s crew. Floquil was a very popular paint during that era but they’ve since been bought out by Testors. It would be worth it to do a little research on the paints from that time to get hyper accurate.

Congrats Lancer!

To Stroker you listen. Help you we will.

Congratulations and Great job Lancer!

Nikki, I apologize I should have clarified regarding the boxes. Your pouches on your cummerbund need to move in towards the middle of your bund so they don't go over the edge of your chest armor (the upper red box in your side view photo). Your cummerbund pouch height is fine. The 1"-1.5" distance was in reference to the thigh boxes hanging off your belt. Those should be adjusted up to the required height from your belt. They are sitting too low. That can be fixed by adjusting the strapping length. Just be sure that your boxes are sitting square after you adjust so I would recommend that you have someone that can eye those for you after you put your belt back on. They should sit even to your leg and not at an angle. As for the color for your TD tube you want just a straight grey not light grey nor dark grey but middle of the road. If it hasn't been painted I would consider removing the tube washing it in soap and water to remove any oils or dust and using a primer or if available a paint that has both. I've had good results from Rustoleum paints but you can also use acrylics if so desired. Just make sure to clean the tube and prime it if you go that route. I hope this helps and feel free to ask for any additional clarification if you need.

Nikki, Excellent work on a difficult armor upgrade. After a thorough review we have the following findings for you. TD tube color should be medium grey color TD clips are oversized and the left clip slipped its mounting. Thigh boxes are too low. Adjust boxes to 1"-1.5" (2.5cm - 3.8cm) from the bottom of the belt. Shoulder armor should be closer to the shoulder bridges. You may need to tighten the zip ties to bring the armor in. Chest pouches are extending past the chest armor edge. Relocate the pouches to center to realign with the edge. You've done an excellent job on your kit and you should be proud. There are just a few items to address. If you have any questions remember that we are always here to help if you should need. Shoulder spacing reference from ROTJ

Thank you for your submission! The Lancer review team will review your application and get back to you.

The holster cut out omission on your first go around was my fault Jason and I apologize for that. Thanks for addressing the fixes!

Jason, Thank you for your patience. Overall your new kit is very well done and you should be proud of your work Scout! We have a few items that we would like you to address before full acceptance. 1.) Drop boxes are a bit too tight to the belt and need to come down a touch. Typically 1"- 1.5" (2.5cm - 3.8cm) from the bottom of the belt. 2.) Shoulder bridges buckling. It looks like your chest piece is slipping up causing the back armor to be pushed down which is causing that buckling to occur in the middle. Some possible fixes could be to affix the chest armor to your flak vest to keep it from riding up and pushing the back armor down in concert with a little trimming of the shoulders. 3.) Boot holster cutouts. We're not seeing the boot holster cuts required for Lancer. " Vents on the holster are cut out." [https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TB_Scout_trooper] 4.) Minor Fixes to Helmet: We have two items for you to review here. 1.) Please address the left trap on the back of your lid and smooth down the decal. 2.) Your chin cup seems to be askew in your front photo. Might need to adjust the strapping there to square it up. Overall you've done an excellent job and just need to square away a few items. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Congrats Lancer!

+1 for wearing a Pens it’s a great day for hockey shirt! I spent many a night at the civic arena downtown watching Jagr and Mario score goals back in the day.

You’re advice isn’t invalid at all and in fact it’s good. Chopper is on the lvl2 review team and suggesting that a scout go check out his input on the bund\cod is spot on. You’re right about the belt. Many scouts wear it much too low. It should not be on the hips but higher at the belly button.

Stephan, Thank you for taking the time to post the additional pics! Regarding the holster was this a piece that came assembled or was it something you had to assemble yourself?

That’s my fellow GML in the Dune Sea TK1636. He’s our go-to for all things armor.

Stephan, Excellent job on your submission. We don’t currently have any findings but we would like to request additional photos of your boot holster with the blaster in it and some additional pics of the blaster by itself. For the holster pics we would like a side and front shot and for the blaster alone we would like side shots. The rest of kit is really well done and you should be proud. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us at any time.

Congratulations Lancer!

That’s what I use too! One suggestion with those though order a size up as they tend to run on the small side. So if even if you measure a medium order a large.

Thanks for everything Marcel! The barracks porch light will always be on for you even if you want to stop by and lurk[emoji12]. Thank you for all the guidance over the years and laying the groundwork for what is the best detachment in the Legion! Best wishes to you and yours!
