Reg Scout Trooper vs Lancer

[Dane]

Is there a side-by-side comparison between the Scout Trooper and Lancer? I'm sure the difference is in the details, but I was wondering if there were visual comparisons out there. Thanks!

I don't believe so...

 

Like you say, the devil is in the detail.

 

The recent update to the standard Scout CRL pushed the two much closer together, so there probably isn't a lot the untrained eye would notice.

 

So it will be things like the correct size webbing straps and the correct materials such as real suede patches (over faux suede), cotton webbing on the drop boxes and the general fit and finish of the suit that will determine Lancer status over basic Pathfinder.

 

If you're aiming for Lancer, then start off heading in that direction right from the beginning. Don't try to do it all after getting basic clearance because you'll just double your workload.

Thanks! Yeah, this will be my first build and I figured that I'd try for Lancer. Haven't bought supplies yet, so I will focus on Lancer detailing as I go.

Thanks Rob, I was going to go for basic Pathfinder status, then work my way up...My end goal was Lancer, but I might as well save my time and resources for Lancer right from the start.

Dane, if you have any questions, let us know. Or just shoot me a PM over on the Florida boards as well.

I would highly recommend buying the correct width elastics from the start for Lancer sppec. It will save a lot of headaches in the long run!

 

Heres a guide that might be helpful.

I know this is a really old post, but I'm just now getting my Scout armor built. I was wondering how wide is the straps To attach the front and back armor together on the shoulders?

If you're looking for Level 2, as per the CRL:

"Shoulder bridge covers, covering the join between the front and back of the armor, are made of white cotton webbing or elastic.

• Covers are between .5 inch and 1 inch wide."
