Ok so getting my new helmet together while I wait for soft parts to show up. Still need to cut out my lens, mount the snout assembly and get the right bolts for the visor. Thoughts?
-
Ok questions for those with lancer status. What gauge wire did you use for wrapping the tubes of you thermal detonator?
-
Awesome I couldn't find this at all
-
Ok so does anyone know where to get a cummerbund and vest rig?
-
Yes I used them for both but ok was not sure since they are white but not a white as the others.
-
Here's a picture Chopper

Ok cummerbund question. All my straps a white but since my drop pouch straps are cotton they are to me more off white so that means I need off white pouches correct?
-
Thanks it's coming along well just got a few parts to finish and the figure out the soft parts
-
Ok so here is where I'm at so far. Still need to finish some of my straps and finish modding my helmet then I can move on to the rest of the soft parts and boots.
-
Good to know thanks. I usually wear a med glove but by there chart it says large so going to give that a try.
-
The only thing I see so far that he did different then me was how he mounted his rear tank. He only used elastic on the top where I used it al the ways around like it said in the CRL. Now I need to make anchor points for my shoulders on my chest rig. Definitely a good read.
-
I'll have to look those gloves up as they didn't come up when I was searching and I'll keep that in mind for the boots thanks Chopper.
-
Thanks Chopper definitely check it out once I get the chest and back together. Anyone have any recommendations for gloves and boots? How's imperial boots quality?

Working on my helmet and chest/back armor and have a few questions. How is everyone attaching the shoulders to the chest/back. I see it says zip ties but doesn't show how. Also working on getting my helmet right and can not tell it where the nose decal goes is flat or goes with the helmet lines. Thanks all for any help.

Ok So I got myself a jumpsuit and will be getting it setup one i find a tailor or buy a sewing machine. Till then I have started on the other parts of the costume and I was wonding what rivets are being used for attaching the plastic pouched to the webbing and such. Also how is everyone posting pictures as it always says mine are to big?
-
So I got my jumpsuit today and it fits almost perfect right off the bat. So now looking for a helmet so any suggestions on a kit or full one?
-
AradunFF I know with the sued it will be more but I think im going to go with the one chopper linked as I like the idea of it being lighter as well. Now I just will have to find the links for getting it into code. Then I can start on the rest.

This is the one I found but I had considered Dickies as well. I will have to look for those write ups and see if I can find any local. https://tacticalgear.com/tru-spec-poly-cotton-twill-27-p-flight-suits-black?hp=y&sku=2653006&pa=428809534827181&gclid=CjwKCAiA66_xBRBhEiwAhrMuLQGk4PDZ_Fs-4i6gV6mDXNlflasHnem9uzlFgjOTTBfcllQ1g0Y7XRoCHV8QAvD_BwE#/7211/653,2540/1&dl=b

Looking for a jump suit to get started on and I found a nice one from Tru-spec and was wondering if it was usable or not? I was hoping to find one with the sued already on it but so far have not found one.
-
It's all good the helmet is already finished other than a lens and a few decals. I already planned on the vents as I was looking for better air flow and functionality while looking original. Now just trying to decide if I want to get another or move on.
-
Cool I'll check it out and that sucks as I have way to much time into it so far to kill it by filling it the vents.
-
Yes I was planning to print my whole setup
