Happy new year! below is the line by line action taken and additional information requested- pictures of details in next post, I am working on the new full body pics and will try to post them on my facebook profile so they don't get resolution "downsized" like last time. Thanks Measurements that are missing from application and still need to be provided: Shoulder armor elastic- Pic taken Boot toe strip - Pic taken Dropbox straps - Pic taken Belt webbing - Pic taken Corrections, Adjustments, and Notes: Bicep Armor T-bit is covered in glue. Should be replaced or at least refinished and painted. - Excess glue scraped off with exacto-knife and bit repainted Bicep armor should be worn a little higher and moved upward 1/2”-1”. - Repositioned velcro to hold bicep armor up as high as possible. Chest/Back Armor Shoulder bridge covers are 1.5" in length. The CRL calls for 0.5" to 1" bridge covers. They will need to be replaced with the proper sized covers. - Replaced Side strap elastic is ribbed and needs to be replaced with non-ribbed white elastic. - Replaced The rank bars don't appear to be the same thickness -- the bottom bar appears thinner than the others. If you are using 4 rank bars then they all need to be double thick and you need to use the trapezoid in the middle of the horizontal tank line. - Replaced Codpiece Stitched rectangle on the front of the codpiece, where the crotch strap is attached, should not be visible. - Made my own new cod piece Belt Right side dropbox should be moved up about half an inch”. - Adjusted for new pics Rear parachute buckles are inverted. - reinstalled orientated the other direction Detonator End caps should be trimmed down. Recommend taking approx 1/4" off. - trimmed off caps Tube color is silver and should be replaced with grey tubing or painted gray. - painted Boots Closure loop is too large and should be at the top of the boot closure. - Removed loops, made smaller and moved upward Holster Lower right rivet on the holster appears to be missing in the original photos. Please verify that it's been replaced. - All rivets are there, no correction made Blaster Barrel divot needs to be filled in. - Filled, sanded, and repainted Scope-end should be drilled out. Indented rings in scope need to be filled in. - Modified inside of scope end, filled and sanded external grooves, and repainted Indented rings in scope need to be filled in.- Filled, sanded, and repainted -

Thanks Chopper! Those are excellent resource pics...... guessing that AN EXTREMELY LOW amount Blasters pass for Lancer. Who would have thought that the Blaster Scope eyepiece would be the hardest part of a Lancer build?!! I accept the mission at hand -

I found a way to bore out the rear of the scope, it is now a few thousandths over 1/2 inch as you can see. Is that a correct depth? The center part is where the pilot extends for the cutter, I can fill that in flush if needed. What about these "stepped circular grooves" listed in the CRL???... Any good eyepiece specific pictures of Lancer approved blasters would be greatly appreciated as the auction pics and screenshots just look bored out to me.

Thanks for the list, I only see one thing I should need help with- how to modify the EC-17 rear scope? I have a lot of tools and am very creative.... But don't know how to duplicate what is in the auction house pics...I only bought this particular one because it has "stepped circular grooves" but not good enough- yet ! -

FInally found time to complete my under suit! Here should be the rest of everything... Sent from my moto g 5G - 2024 using Tapatalk -
Noa, I did use the Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch X2 Ultra Cover Gloss Clear (Their # 249117) make sure to read the instructions and use EXACTLY how it says, or it will do strange things- I had to redo a few pieces because I did not follow the instructions correctly.

I also have the New Image Prop helmet - I emailed him about paint too, and his reply was "Diamond White". I could not find anything conclusive on that paint and emailed him again twice for clarification, never got a response. I ended up using Rust-oleum painter's touch 2X premium High-Gloss white (their # 331171) as that was the closest I could find in a spray paint - and I tried several. You can see my build progress in the forums, and my Lancer application (on hold) too for color comparison. Good luck!

Working on my new undersuit for Lancer- I made some riding patches to show size/placement/fit before cutting up expensive suede. Do these meet Lancer??.. P.s. I know I have to take in the upper thigh a little when I am doing the mods so the legs fit better. Thanks in advance guys! Sent from my SM-A326U using Tapatalk

After my first year of trooping, and a few tweaks, i am just about ready to "up my game". This will be a little backwards as i an still trying to figure out how to put the suede riding patches on the suit, but here's everything else to critique so my final ensemble pics will be ready to rock.
