Many questions

[Wildcardz]

Some details, I had found answers on the forum... but some I just don't get.

 

What is the difference between a Biker scout and a Lancer? Is it the costume or the title?

 

Flight suit - One piece or two pieces for 501st approval?

 

Boots - How comfortable are the ones sold?

 

Gloves - Does everyone makes theirs own or can I just find some to buy? Because, to be honest.... I am not that skilled in that area.

 

Helmet - Fiberglass or other material? Which would you suggest?

 

PM me, if you like....

Lancer is basically a designation for a costume deemed to have a higher level of accuracy closer to the screen used Scout, beyond the basic 501st requirements.

 

 

Flight suit - One piece or two pieces for 501st approval.

 

Either. Both are Acceptable, but a 1 piece suit is more screen accurate.

 

 

Boots - How comfortable are the ones sold?

 

Very... Just like wearing regular shoes (because that's what they are with a skin on the outside).

 

Gloves - Does everyone makes theirs own or can I just find some to buy? Because, to be honest.... I am not that skilled in that area.

 

Up until recently, there was a superb maker called Sith Armour. They are no longer available or very hard to come by. So alternatives are currently having to be sourced/made.

 

Helmet - Fiberglass or other material? Which would you suggest?

 

Either, your choice. GRP is heavier (slightly) but gets better detail and can be more robust depending on construction. Plastic is more screen accurate, but some construction methods can be a bit tricky and the detail can be a little weak depending on the make.

 

 

 

Hope this helps.

So, I should get my 501st approval first, then go for my Lancer, and then Pathfinder status?

501st approval = Pathfinder

2nd level clearance = Lancer

A lot of these questions are exactly the ones I had!

Just build to lancer standard from the off follow the lancer crl. Your GML cant fail your app on that. Then as soon as you are pathfinder, go for lancer the same day

As above...

 

The extra work involved in getting to Lancer is actually pretty small when you're initially building it. It's just a question of keeping an eye on the detail, and using the correct materials.

 

Retrofitting those bits afterwards, can be a real dog. Hence considerably more work.

 

 

 

Aim for Lancer from the get go.

 

Much simpler.
