Katscan Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Nexous, others can correct me if I am wrong but if you plan on redoing your boots. Make sure that the closure is in the middle of the back, not off to the side. Both pieces should meet in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I "could" try to fix my current ones, but I've got a feeling that starting fresh will let me correct my mistakes a lot easier I'm making notes of everything you guys are mentioning about boots, like mirror the slips and that the closure is centered rather than slanted as they currently are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stasz Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I'm making a second pair too. Learned a lot on the first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupcake Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Hey Daniel! I can tell you the things that will hold you up for approval will be: the black tab on the bund, the stripes on the boots, and the fact your TD is backwards. All the other suggestions are more what will make you look perfect instead of just awesome. I'd start with those fixes. They'll be pretty easy to do though Either way, great build.

Super helpful to know what sorta thing will hold me up from getting in. My app is under review currently and I'm already going to let them know when they respond that I am in the progress of making those changes. Stripes Removed (easiest) Bund being Fixed (Friday) and the TD being backwards, pretty sure I just need to flip it around... I think?

Nexous Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 Okay, so I flipped the clips behind my Detonator so it should be correct now. As for the "knob", what's a good way if any to remove something that has been essentially super glued to ABS Plastic? Or would I be better off re-making down the road.

Bobik96 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 A little bit of heat on the backside and a razor worked for me. Go super slow. Also if those are the SC clips mine broke the first time I wore the belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw some other ones on the forums I may want to snag, but for the moment they seem to hold up alright I wore them during Celebration and they survived a random kid dressed up as an Ewok slapping them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexous Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 I had to re-do my belt, so I raised the drop boxes... I think they look significantly better than my previous ones 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stasz Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Looking good! I agree, the boxes look positioned better. A little higher and less in front than your original pics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexous Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 Looking good! I agree, the boxes look positioned better. A little higher and less in front than your original pics. Thank you I sent updated photos to my local Garrison and hoping these changes will be enough (along with removing the stripes we discussed earlier and the Bund strap being incorrect) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nexous Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 Congrats brother! Super late to replying to this, but thank you! Congrats to you as well, and good luck on your Lancer app Issac! As for this thread, I have some updates if anyone cares to chime in 1) I finally decided to get rid of the decals for the bucket ears... I think I did an alright job, but I am open to critique and/or suggestions to make it more "Lancer" spec. 2) I replaced my old TD box and with a new one I put together... this one has the knob more centered. I just need to replace my white ABS clips with the metal brackets, open to suggestions as to where I can purchase them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stasz Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Keep an eye on the trade forum. Chef does his laser cut clips every now and again. They're very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure will I'm not trying to rush to the finish line or anything, just taking my time with these upgrades... so if I come across some clips I'll be sure to nab them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexous Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Updated this with some recent Squad Photos... there are some subtle changes from the initial build I still have a lot of minors tweaks I'd like to get done before the end of the year, little by little it's starting to feel more comfortable.
