Landeaux Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I have gloves, balaclava, and blaster, now starting work on my flightsuit. I've used real suede and attached the butt flap and thigh patches, also modded the collar. The legs have been tighten up too. The patches are just tacked on at the moment, I'm not sure if they need to be bigger. I am going to aim for Lancer approval, so any constructive advice will be helpful.

Landeaux Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 I'm steadily progressing on my armor; have the knees, forearms, biceps and shoulders done. I used the lancer spec elastic on each. Chest and back needs the side strap attached. The belt and td still need to be done. Also, the shoulders need velcro to be able to attach to the t-straps. Had to try on the parts.

Landeaux Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 Here is my CB helmet. I changed the visor bolts to the 3M bolts, replaced decals with Trooperbay's and finally added a chin cup. I need to get padding to complete it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southscout Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Great start! It's hard to say if your shoulders are a bit long, try to move them up a bit and see how it fits with the biceps armor since they seem to overlap at the moment.

Yeah, I think when I attach them to the t-straps on the chest piece the shoulders should sit higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landeaux Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 Would these boot soles work for lancer specs? or just basic? Sorry about the small pic, couldn't get it to upload from photobucket 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Would these boot soles work for lancer specs? or just basic? Sorry about the small pic, couldn't get it to upload from photobucket Those are really good boot soles. Where did you find them? Yes, good for basic and could be fine for Lancer too. Would need to see more to be sure though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would need to see more to be sure though. They are a vintage women's KANGAROOS Survival Hiking Boot that happened to be in a big enough size to fit me. I found them on ebay. Here's a slightly larger picture, I should receive them in about a week or so I can get better idea how they look then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The soles look really, really close to the original Sierra Sneaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landeaux Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 Here are a couple of better shots of some boots I found. My question is would the soles pass lancer specs as they are Also this is the vinyl at a local fabric store, is it too textured? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landeaux Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 not a tailor, but I tried to make a cummerbund and vest. still have to try and make pouches and boots, also finish hip boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landeaux Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 Getting closer to finishing my scout, just have hip boxes and boots left to complete. Thought I had some more photos but this was the only one to come out. I know the right shoulder bell came undone, and the right bicep & forearm should be a bit higher, past that is there any glaring problems I need to address.

gmrhodes13 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Looking good. I found the pouches the easiest to make, I stuffed them with foam too. I have the same texture on boots I have made, I don't think it's a problem. Nice build can't wait to see it finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southscout Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Looks great! Love the bund since there's no camel toe Your forearms looks good, if anything I would say the should move down. The "norm" is that they cover the top of the gloves as much as possible as seen on some scouts in the movie. They do however move around a lot between shots, but IMHO it looks better with them down. So your right one looks good, and the left one should come down. And get some socks, man! No shoes, no socks, no service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landeaux Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 Thanks guys, I'm trying to finish up for Star Wars Reads day. I have to wear socks, the next thing you will tell me is I should wear clean underwear in case I run my speeder bike into a tree 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
