BikerScout007 Posted October 18, 2014 Author Posted October 18, 2014 Hey man, Though not a Lancer myself the only thing that jumps right out at me is this for the cummerbund: Everything else looks really good to me, good luck! Hahaha, Marcel made my cummerbund. We'll see what he has to say about his handiwork!
Chef Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 It's being discussed Mickey... No doubt Marcel will post up the recommendations shortly. 1
4505Marcel Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 A few things that have been brought up, your pouches want to be moved out slightly. Drop boxes want to be levelled off, there is an issue with your vest sleeves, they seem too long and are flaring quite abit. The crotch stitch arch, while it's not a chevron as it has a curve to the top, I have since tweaked my patterns to curve more. The reason I did it the way to start with just a curved top was, as it pulled round the crotch the sides would curve also, I noticed some full arches were curving way too much. It seems that didn't work for everyone though, I wouldn't fail the app for that, but it's a 5 minute job if you want to adjust it. The other thing that looks off is the cuffs on the gloves, are they the right size for you as they are huge. Might be worth running a stitch down the inside to pull them in a touch 1

Might be worth running a stitch down the inside to pull them in a touch Okay so just to be sure: 1) Move pouches out slightly 2) Balance the drop boxes better 3) Shorten the vest sleeves 4) Fix the chevron on the bund (do you have a picture of how it's supposed to look?) 5) Bring in the glove cuffs (and yes, they fit like a glove. I have huge hands) Sound right?
4505Marcel Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 How tight is the thong elastic? I it doesn't look the cod has pulled under, it could be if the elastic was tighter, it would pull the cod giving it the curve detail stitch look. Obviously don't tighten it if it is not comfortable 1

I it doesn't look the cod has pulled under, it could be if the elastic was tighter, it would pull the cod giving it the curve detail stitch look. Obviously don't tighten it if it is not comfortable I made it longer because it was way too tight before, but I could probably stand to take an inch off of it.
4505Marcel Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 That would pull the cod around and curve everything more 1
BikerScout007 Posted October 20, 2014 Author Posted October 20, 2014 Cool, I will give that a try then! How about everything else on my list?
4505Marcel Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Yes everything you listed needs addressing, once you shorten the vest sleeves a touch, bring up your bicep and firearm armour. And just make sure everything is sitting square in the next set of photos you post 1
BikerScout007 Posted November 10, 2014 Author Posted November 10, 2014 You have any updtes for us? Not yet buddy! Been doing a lot of trooping lately so havent had much weekend time to make repairs. Will get back on it soon
BikerScout007 Posted February 15, 2015 Author Posted February 15, 2015 Okay, here's some updated photos showing things that have been changed. Everything else is same as above. I got new gloves from Wampa Wear. Not nearly as baggy as my SIth Armory gloves: I shortened the vest sleeves, using the scout that cornered Leia in ROTJ as a model. I also shortened the shoulder bells as the movie scout bells are shorter than the ones SC provides Separated bund/codpiece. This is Marcel's bund with a separate cod attached with 2 inch elastic
4505Marcel Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Thank you the staff will discuss,the TD brackets are in the crl now. This is an old app, so I personally will turn a blind eye if you agree to put them on. 1
BikerScout007 Posted February 16, 2015 Author Posted February 16, 2015 In the great words of Maxwell Smart, "Sorry about that, Chief." I attached them today: 1
