Hey @DoubleImpact Avi , i have time today if you would like to have a video session and go over the whole kit. Everything your asking I have done and it all worked perfectly as a whole. 90% of My velcro placements i learned off another scout named Blackhawk. I think…or was his name apache? That ain’t it either. Oh well, it’ll come to me eventually. Lmk on Fb messenger if ya want to meet up. -Scot

Welcome to the PFD @DoubleImpact ! I noticed your selections on your scout build and i gotta say i like your style brother! It just so happens i have the same exact setup and used it for my Lancer application (approved with minor fixes). I went with this setup and the feedback from fellow PFD and thier before/after comments has been very positive. This was my complete vendor buy list: Bucket: RSPROPMASTERS HA: StudioCreations SA: Cucblackprops/KriptonTop Neck Seal: Cucblackprops Gloves: Wampa Boots: Crowprops E-17/DLT-19: Lunaarmorworks My Kit Photographed after Lancer Approval: I show and tell you this because the specific items from the vendors you selected imo are top shelf all the way around. This is an idea of what your armor would look like completed (Keeping in mind it also matters greatly how it sits on you as well). Many lancers, staff, & Veteran members were critical to my success completing Basic/Lancer. you need ANYTHING relating to your kit (advice, links, help, etc.) message me anytime you like and I'd be happy to support ya. I'm no different than any other pathfinder here when it comes to making the Detatchment a happy, stronger, fun place for new kit builders. Happy building, and your gonna love this Detatchment. -Scot

So when@Chopper mentioned in another thread that the vendor Darman Props offered a neck seal, and @Aradun suggested purchasing the premium version, i did just that. I approached 3 vendors on etsy in total. Two of the three (after filling them in about crl req's) simply returned my money. The third vendor Darman Props was hesistant AT FIRST. We discussed the changes, and after a bit of chat, bobby (the owner) had decided it would not be an issue and said he was happy to accomodate me. Below are photos of it’s cost, the neck seal worn, and some chat (the customer service). I hope fellow scouts find some or all of this useful. As far as how i feel about the neck seal i think it looks and fits well. Note: If you do decide to order a seal from Darman Props (etsy), order it 1/2" larger than your normal neck measurement. The balaclavas range in thickness for everyone, and i did forget to add that in. mine is just a tad bit tight, but is definitely wearable as is. I do need to remove my mandarin collar as well, so the seal is more noticeable unlike in some of these photos. The Purchase: The Chat: Recieved & Shipped Very Fast: And Finally, Worn: Thanks, -Scot

apologies @BikerScout007 . for not reading this thread more clearly. It Looks like i missed your post about adding Darman Props to the vendor list already. 👏

@Aradun Dennis, looks so far like its good to go for current and future rotj/etc pathfinders to go to bobby for the neck seal. He has told me the following and approved me posting this here: So now PF has a quality (Buy the premium!) goto vendor for the neck seal being made following the CRL req's. @BikerScout007 I tag you because your our leader and know what to do from here if something more is needed than this. Hope this was all helpful in some way. I will recieve the seal in a day or two and will post photos of how it looks, detailed closeups, and it worn with the armor for the PF staff to go over if desired in its own thread. P.S. Sorry to @theenglishdjentleman for partially hijackin' your thread... Cheers.

@Aradun I talked to Bobby about the h&l .5" After some EXTENDED DISCUSSIONS, CRL LINK, PHOTOS OF CRL REQ, and some good ol' fashioned politeness, he agreed to make me a neck seal following the crl. Luckily bobby is a 501st since 2008, or I might have gotten my money sent back again...he asked me to please send him some video and or photos of it fitting well and how his looks on a Biker. I told him that I would do him one better, and post all that here in our boards to show everyone, so that they could also possibly purchase from him as well if he was OK with it. this was 10 mins ago. So basically a vendor for that now yeah? if all is on the level (crl req's are correct, mickey/staff ok it). Just tryna do my part and give back whatever i can like I learned right here in these boards. 👍👊

@Aradun Worse case scenario I will replace it with 1/2". Two other vendors sell them as well, Those 2 I DID message and not only asked them about that H&L measurement, but I sent a screenshot of the original crl requirements that @BikerScout007first showed us (nothing on it was seen but the req's). I asked them if the seals met all or some of the requirements on the photo.... ....They both just sent me my money back with no reply. 🤣

@Aradun Just ordered it. Thanks for the heads up on the premium version dennis. Did your stunt come with 1/2" Hook and loop, or did you have to make that adjustment as well to meet the crl req?

@AradunFF This is a great example of why i asked. Instead of you just answering with: "Scot, I think that’s absurdly low for a print and with free world wide shipping to boot from Australia" you also offer advice on ALTERNATIVE METHODS to acquire said item. I try not to tag anyone as much as possible, but i hope others see & understand THIS IS WHY i do do it to them at times. I will pm @troygordon2 to see what he can offer up for me. Really do appreciate what you do for us dennis, very seriously do brother...

Nicely done Brien, Well deserved!

@Chopper or @AradunFF do either one of you know of this websites validity for weapon printing or any other info on them? There are only THREE reviews on this particular model: Link: Bountyhunterarmory DIY DLT-19 KIT The price seems low even for DIY doesnt it? I am wanting to make my first purchase as well, and if this is a viable option, I'd be more than happy to make that purchase. My past oversees purchases and good pathfinder advice (research or ask around first!) demands i make no hasty purchases. Thanks to anyone who can deliver some good info for it. Cheers. -Scot

Thank you for making such a fine product as well! Honestly If i had any issues i would have mentioned them, but alas i did not. 👍

Perfect fit, but in honesty @Dart since I've never worn that sierra style boot before, i would order a half size up for that extra comfortably in the future (and for anyone reading this thread too).

Thought this would help out members looking for quality boots for thier wips/kits. Youtube: Unboxing CrowProps Biker Scout Boots (ROTJ) I Hope this helps when looking online for good info on boots. Thanks. -Scot

There are so many things i could say. How the journey was from day one to today, support/no support, Great Vendors/Horrible Vendors, stress, financial, friends made, etc. But, not EVERYONE has had to endure the same type of hardships or loss that i did. But i know there are some of them out there that have. If anyone out there is struggling in any type of situation when it comes to a PATHFINDER related Kit/Armor, my advice to you is simple: Be proactive here and ask questions in the proper section of this website. Allow yourself to be ok with mistakes, and befriend one or more of the 1000 plus pathfinders listed here. I used to say this alot in here: "if it wasnt for this pathfinder, or if it wasnt for that pathfinder, I wouldnt be chatting with you today because i would have thrown in the towel by now." Examples of how It couldn't be more true: From our Leader (@BikerScout007) helping me with advice on my rotj wip dang near on day one alone, to keeping an eye on me over time making sure i moved at the proper pace (stops heavy stress,mistakes, financial losses, etc), and on down every level Armor, Review, PR, & Merch Teams, The Lancers (YOU ROCK @PhinScout & @Barber), Veteran members ,Gml's, etc. Miker @MikerScout & Clay @CRex75: Seriously fellas, If it wasnt for the phone calls, video chats, forum help, and moral support, i wouldnt be here writing this. I was really about done at that moment when you guys showed up with that over the top care factor. I will pay it forward just as you did for me, and if you need ANYTHING within reason, i won't hesitate to help. @The Patch Collector basically my best online friend in the uk with a great sense of humor, kindness, and all around rudeboy. Dennis : @AradunFF you spent alot of forum time with me! Went out of your way on numerous occasions, showing the example of how pathfinders back eachother up and make it happen. Jeff : @StudioCreations The great deal on my very durable and very white, very shiny armor. The epic 2-10 hour video chats about anything and everything scout and 501st history. The nutshell of help that kept me moving forward VictorZrgx CHRISTIAN Cucblack, Raul Nichols, kyle Brei, Criscrus, @locokarma , @plagu3is for making alot of our awesome scout merch here & his shop endorfinders.com @Bearded Scout (for sending me my first anything merch!) @Wildcards Rex (for the help on instagram finding members) @sithbizkit (for the sticker connect) @Mikey @Jakeputt @Rocket @M.J @sconlon68 @Retrofire @kayelbe @Rugrat @Strider & @cheesewhoopy for the awesome tutorials, And of course, This guy 👊😁🤘---> @Chopper Greatest Detatchment Period.
