TB-32173 Lancer Status Request (Pending)
Chopper replied to Bikrtrash's topic in Lancer Deployment Request
Thank you. We are happy to continue our evaluation once we get the following overall photos: Bicep Armor Bicep armor should be worn a little higher and moved upward 1/2”-1”. - Still waiting on photo Belt Right side dropbox should be moved up about half an inch”. - Still waiting on photo Rear parachute buckles are inverted. - Still waiting on photo Detonator End caps should be trimmed down. Recommend taking approx 1/4" off. - Still waiting on photo Tube color is silver and should be replaced with grey tubing or painted gray. - Still waiting on photo Holster Lower right rivet on the holster appears to be missing in the original photos. Please verify that it's been replaced. - Still waiting on photo -
There is nothing wrong with the items you've highlighted. If a GML has issues with it, which I very much doubt will be the case, then they can reach out to the Pathfinders command staff. Here is one of the screen used helmets. It has the same sort of misalignment and molding rim.
-
The RS helmet is the most accurate scout helmet available, because the RS is created from a Lucasfilm production used helmet. If there are things that are uneven or asymmetrical, it's because they were that way on the screen helmets as well.
-
Don't you have an RS helmet? That's about as good as it gets in terms of helmets. Does it not fit on your head?
-
I would check with @LookBehindYou, as he built a GA 3D helmet.
-
You should likely be fine for basic clearance. The only items I can see that might come up are your drop boxes and chest pouches. You might want to lower your belt slightly, which will also drop your drop boxes down. You should also center your parachute buckles on the drop box straps You should raise up your chest pouches a bit as well. Good luck and let us know.

Sgt. Bilko’s Mando Scout Build
Chopper replied to Sgt.Bilko's topic in Scout Trooper: "The Mandalorian" WIP
For a mando scout, your back seam is just fine. Based on your photo, you should not need to alter your bund. -

The standards are somewhat looser for the Mando scout. Just put it on and show us if you're concerned about it. Yes, those inside pieces are for attaching to the jumpsuit (or flak vest for ROTJ). -
Sgt. Bilko’s Mando Scout Build

I've seen some folks with a 4-5" offset and that's too much, but yeah, what you said should be okay for the Mando scout. -
Yes, that is fine. The position and size of your riding patch in the back looks fine. In front, I think it's a bit too big. Just an approximation, but I'd consider taking 3/4 inch to 1 inch off of the outer edges of the front side patch. The shape is fine, just measure an 3/5 inch to 1 inch inwards from your existing edge in front. The width of the back flap looks good. It's hard to give a good evaluation without the belt, but it looks a bit too long. You can use the pattern you have now and then trim it later, after you get your belt on.

Most people attach the cod strap to the flak vest, but since the Mando scout doesn't have one, you can attach it to the back of your flight suit. You'll need to add a piece of velcro for the attachment. Regarding the bund, how off center are we talking? The back should be generally centered, but there's some room for it being offset. See screenshot from the show, below. -
Knowing RS, it's very likely that the bridge cover and the bridges themselves are glued with super glue. Is there a reason you're looking to take it apart? Is it a sizing issue? you can use velcro on the underside to hold the front and back armor together if you decide to take it apart, but there will likely be glue residue on the underside of the coverstrip.
-
I can't answer how to separate the front and rear without seeing how they're attached to begin with. Post a photo and we'll take a look.

For basic clearance that is fine. For Level 2 the shoulder bridge covers need to be between 0.5 inch and 1 inch wide.
