It is made of the same materials as my original, so it has cotton batting in between two layers of black cotton. I hope this shows it better p.s. i trooped today and got a comment from my friend that everything looked like it was fitting/sitting better lately!

Hey! I'm a short scout, and I found a lot of help in reviewing the WIPs of others around my height. Here's mine, if it is of any help! You know how mandos love those WIPs... I also made my own soft parts, which I think I detailed a bit in here. If you haven't found them already, there are some other great WIPs from people our height on here that I have bookmarked

Finally finished the vest. Here it is! I also believe I fixed all of the broken image links

ope, that was me interpreting the CRL wrong with the “appearance of being raglan” part. i see now! I have already started a new vest yesterday, so i’ll photo it and kit up again here soon.

Yeah, half of these were hosted on discord which i didn’t realize started expiring photo links :’( i’ll have to go back and replace the broken ones with imgur. i’ll update the vest photos right now to start, at least

Excuse that I have no gloves or forearms on, this was taken after a parade yesterday and I was more focused on the chest/pouches. Is this more of the spacing that it should be at? It is difficult to fit all of it onto my frame, there isn't that much real estate on my torso! I moved the bund up about 1.5", as measured by moving up the velcro on the vest that it attaches to to stay up. The chest, too, was moved up about the same to accommodate for the pouches sitting higher. The biceps were also moved up 1'2" I didn't think to take a full turnaround of the chest/back shoulder spacing for the vest in the sun. Let me know and I can take those of all angles, but for now here is this!

I shall aim to make these adjustments and get photos this weekend while trooping or next week!

Like this?

This is a 3d print with files from MinuteFett. However when I was finishing it, I didn’t pay mind to the scope ridges and they got filled in, so I know that will need to be fixed. I have already contacted someone from my garrison to resin print me a new part that I will hopefully get this weekend and will update with photos of the repaired blaster if I happen to finish it sooner than you are done reviewing

Oh sorry, I misunderstood. I thought it was just a blaster was required for level 2 costumes, so I put up my DLT-19. I’ll get some photos

Is one required? I had assumed it was optional

I believe I am finally ready to submit this. Please note that I am only 5'3", and that the kit has some wear and tear from trooping that I did my best to clean up. I hope neither of these are an issue. I look forward to your response, and to making my costume the best it can be!

Howdy! Just dropping by to start a thread to document upgrades and repairs I have made on my kit since being approved. There are a lot of small things I didn't document, which were mostly quality of life type stuff. Lots of velcro added to keep things in place, and touching up to fix damage from 1. Shoulders trimmed to be more narrow, and further rounded the corners. They were colliding with the front and back armor, and I didn't like how it looked. I don't think it was accurate to the source 2. Drilled out the rivet from the tank topper and replaced it to be shorter. Original rivet here Drilled out bits (it was a FIGHT) New topper! 3. Made new flight suit pants. The fabric on both of these is twill, but I switched from Joann's sportswear cotton twill to Eddie Bauer cotton twill. The quality difference is insane, as you can likely see. They feel much more like the coverall material now, and I am very happy Luckily I had enough extra suede to redo the patches. I ripped the old ones off to use as a basic pattern because I lost my paper pattern for it. switched from an elastic waistband to a zip/button 4. Switched the helmet visor from the acrylic that came with it to a hobart shield. It is so much darker! 5. My mother found some elastic at a garage sale that she thought might be useful to me. Imagine my delight to discover it is the vintage woven style of white 3/4" elastic, and not the modern stuff that has the vertical lines running down it! Here is the difference in the two (garage sale on left, original store bought on right). It was a small change, but makes me happy. 6. I was gifted the accurate bolts for my birthday from my friends. I had to modify them to work with the resin helmet, but this was the deciding factor for me that I would finally try for lancer 7. I took an several rounds of lancer photos to get to one I was happy with, only to reference it against the CRLs and realize my helmet had the wrong number of indents on the back. I don't know how I never noticed! When I was originally building this costume, I checked off a paper list the level 2 certifications I was able to make and had checked that one off. Whoops. As you can see, it has 9 indents where the CRLs say 7-8. I decided to fill in the innermost one with plasticweld, based off reference photos that seemed the one that needed to go. As it is here it aligned with the middle point between the trapezoids, and other helmets I see do not have the indents going all the way to the middle. PlasticWeld filled Dremelled and sanded smooth Badly applied filler primer to even out the surface (can was almost empty... most of it got sanded off anyway) Freshly applied white paint And now the helmet all cleaned up and re-sealed. Only 8 indents! 8. I added a new and more comfortable liner to the helmet, vs the upholstery foam padding I was using before. The helmet now sits higher up on my head and does not interfere with hitting my chest armor, and is much more comfortable! More updates to come, particularly regarding my weapon and any changes that are given back to me on my lancer app soon to be submitted! (edit: submitted 2.28.24)

It looks like his bolt lengths are the same. I sent him a message, maybe he’d be able to glue in a longer one or I could try to unglue and add my own in. Thanks for the rec!

Hi, I recently acquired some of the proper 3m concave bolts for my helmet. I have a mon cal helmet, and they are just barely too short to fit all the way through the resin dome. Is there anyone that can point me in the direction of some advice on getting them to fit? i don’t want to sand down the wrong spot and compromise the integrity of the helmet. I’ve tried searching on here without much luck. We’re talking 1-2mm too short, so there’s surely a way to get them on!
