Hi Nisa and welcome to BSN! There are several manufactures of armor that you can find here. My advise is to head over to the "Hard Armor" section and start researching the different types for your build. There are also a lot of great Pathfinders that you can ask advice from. Choosing armor has a lot to do with price, how long you want to wait (to get it), and how it fits your body frame. I would encourage you to jump into the forums and start learning as much as you can and ask a lot of questions. I would also encourage you to reach out the GML of the Singapore Garrison as the local garrisons are there to help you out as well. Hope this helps and best to you!

I''ll echo Griffin-X on Chris909x. You can either have them built or just get the pieces and put them together. I got my boot pieces from him and they are excellent! I finally got them completed and I have pics over in my boot build thread (at the bottom) here: http://forum.bikersc...pic=14026&st=40 if you would like to take a look. Great price and good quality. I recommend him.

Picking your armor is always hard. After a lot of research I'm going with SC as it's nice armor and they have excellent customer service. I just now finished all my soft armor and boots so I am finally ready for my hard armor. I've heard good things about Walt on the FISD boards most importantly that he has really good communications.

Boots are finally completed! What say you my fellow pathfinders do they pass inspection?

Thanks! I'm just getting them finished up with the dogbones. I'll post some pics when I get them all done.

Merry Christmas and a most fabulous and blessed new year to all my Pathfinder Brothers and Sisters from the Dewback Ridge Garrison in sunny New Mexico! Best to you all!!

Greetings Troopers! Just wanted to let you all know that I'm still around and working, rather slowly, on my build. I'm moving my family to Arizona in the coming year so I haven't been as active as I would like to be. Boots are still just about done and I have my bund and other sundry items for my build. Dune Sea Garrison here I come! Best to you all and the best of holidays with you and your families!!!

Welcome and you've come to the right place. There are so many here that are ready and willing to help. Start learning all you can about the various parts. Since you're a 501st member you know about the CRLs already so I would recommend that you give the Scout CRL a read over then start diving into the board threads and learn more. Feel free to ask questions that's what everyone is here for. Best you!

I've had a good time here in the Florida Garrison's AO. My son got to meet Lord Vader at Legoland: and I saw a group of our fellow scouts chasing some Rebel scum: I'm heading home tomorrow to the Dewback Ridge Garrison in New Mexico but we made all sorts of memories here in Florida. Not looking forward to catching the Southwest Transport to leave this system but duty calls.....and I have armor to build

Hi Tim! Have you had the chance to talk with members of the Dewback Ridge? Check in with BrotherHalo, or shoot him a PM from the Garrison forum, he's a Pathfinder and I bet he can turn you on to several of the Lancers from that Garrison and they can give you pointers on getting your gear improved.

That's a good point Forrest but it will be a lot of fun to take something like this and mod it over to a scout sniper or something similar. I have good access to a lot of yard sales as well so I'll be checking around there first.

Those are great add-ons! You got me rethinking how I want this to look. Thanks for the ideas!

Thanks Stasz! We just had a blast today! I have great respect for those who troop in this climate! There's no where you can hide from the wet. I tip my bucket to the troopers of the East Coast garrisons!

I checked the sizing and it complies with the width measurement. Thanks Chef and hope your move goes swimmingly!

Thanks for answering this Stasz! Sorry about not getting an answer out sooner I am on vacation in Orlando, FL with my wife and boys (no not Disneyworld:) taking a little time away from the deserts of New Mexico. I expect to have a full mailbox though when I get home with all sorts of goodies to move forward on my build.

mmmmmmmm.....Ewoks

PM sent!

I was thinking of doing a mod to this type. Maybe change the muzzle, clip, remove forward handle and of course change the scope. What do you all think?

Is this cotton suitable for Lancer?

Thanks Kevin! That's great to hear. While I'm enjoying building my boots and gathering the soft armor and associated accouterments I'm really looking forward to the armor build.

How long is the wait for SC armor? That's my #1 choice for my bucket and armor but I won't be able to order until Oct/Nov time frame.

I snagged mine for $19.00 from the local Kmart. I've sent items to Japan and I know it isn't cheap unless you have an APO.

Panda what size rivets and washers are you using here? Thanks! -Peter

Looking forward to getting my suit and vest from Gabe! He contacted me today with all the info. Just need to get the measurement email so I can get those off to him.
