BananoPower22 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Hey there everyone! I just wanted to share with you the Lancer progress that I'm about to start. I'm MILES away from being an actual Lancer, but I'm willing to go for it all the way and be the one and only Lancer in Puerto Rico. Here are some pictures of how my armor is right now, and if you feel like something should be fixed, please say so! I'll post again to show you guys where i might need some help and what's missing in this puzzle so i can finally become a true lancer and stand out among you guys! I can't wait to actually feel proud of myself by being a lancer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananoPower22 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 Here's the helmet: if i recall correctly, it's an MC snout w/ a riser plate and solid mic tip (if that's what it's called, i'm confusing tk things with tb things... again) 3M bolt covers and cut out ear holes back side an extra picture of the back side just to make sure the decal is placed correctly maybe i should sand smooth the ear holes... also, this gap between the back side of the helmet and the visor - would it be a problem? it's the way the helmet was made... not my fault now, this is where it gets tough for me. i haven't touched this area since i finished building the armor because i have no clue how to make this area lancer approvable I was told that i shouldn't paint the inside of the bucket completely black, that i could use some black fabric and glue it inside the helmet to simulate dark areas. is this okay? my boots - i was told that the tan was WAY too bright and this needed to be changed to a darker tan. which type of paint can i use for this so it's screen accurate? blaster - painted with flat black. i added a tiny strip of velcro on the front of the 'trigger guard' (if that's what it's called, my english sometimes is horrible. my first language is spanish) and another tiny strip of velcro inside the holster so it wouldn't fall off when i walk. NOT PICTURED HERE: Mudflap Riding Patch Gloves (but they're sith armor gloves, are these okay for lancer?) Undersuit (this, i've got it all covered. I removed all the pockets and zippers so it should be okay) do you guys need any more pictures? just say so! thanks for looking and any input would be REALLY appreciated!

Chex Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Well if your pouches are off white, then the thigh box strapping and the strapping connecting the chest and back under your arms need to be off white, as well as the shoulder tab connection. It's not a hard thing to do. Check PandaTroopers thread to see how he did his. Your boot soles could be a little more tan. Just remember to follow the CRL and ask lots of questions. And don't get down on yourself if we ask you to fix stuff. You're on the right path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananoPower22 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 noted. will change the hip boxes strap to off white as soon as possible. and the strap that holds together the chest and back is already off white, just forgot to take a picture. silly me lol. For the soles of the boots, is there a specific type of paint i should buy so i can paint them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4505Marcel Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 The shoulder bridge covers actually remain white no matter what colour pouches ect you use, its just the pouches, drop box straps and side straps that need to be off white to suit each other. I personally would paint the inside of the helmet black, but fabric would do to darken it. Velcro will need to be removed from your pistol. Boots will need the dog bone trim re fixing as they are loose. That picture of the visor not fitting properly fitting needs attension, something like filing the bootm so you can then close the gap? The bottom edges of your shoulder bells want rounding off, draw round a coin or similar. Look at the lancer CRL for elastic strapping sizing and check these as I can see some that are too small. AS your 501st il move this to the lancer app section mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananoPower22 Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Sorry I haven't posted anything in a LONG time, but stuff happened and I wasn't really able to work on anything at all. I bought a *BAD* case of snow trooper armor on the 501st boards and i am stuck with that as well, and also wanting to fix my mando so it can be up to the mercs' standards, and also trying to finish a ODST helmet so i can use it as a mold to do some spare buckets for fun. so yeah, i want to do so much but i ain't really doing anything and since i've been using the scout so much recently so i think it's best for me to give it some upgrades to make it look nice and tidy so maybe in time i can reach the lancer status.
