TB91728 (Nexous) Requesting Lancer (APPROVED)


Recommended Posts

Greetings Lancer Review Board,

 

Per suggestion of a good friend and Lancer... I am "jumping off the plane" and submitting my current Biker Scout build in hopes of achieving the next tier of accuracy. I troop often so the modifications have been coming along very slowly (been approved since June 2015, but as you can see from my Troop Log, very busy!).

 

3/1/16 -- When I get home today I'll try and take close-ups of things like the Knee armor w/ the rivet and strap... etc etc... UPDATED; added close-up photos of armor bits.

 

 

Gear Information

Armor / Helmet -- StudiosCreation

Bund -- Gabe @ MaxSciFI

Pouch / Boots -- Chris (Local Pathfinder)

Flightsuit -- Modified RedKap, local tailor.

Gloves -- Replica Gloves by a Hollywood Leatherworker

Blaster -- Hyperfirm

Alright buddy, here we go:

 

1) Move your pouches out a touch so we can see all 5 ribs on the bund

2) Your bund's rear closure doesn't seem to be centered, or else it is off in the photo. So your bund strap is also pulling off to the side.

3) Bring your dropboxes down maybe an inch.

4) The thigh straps are a bit high and loose. See the pic below for a model

5) Vest and bund closures need to be right-over-left.

6) Bring up your bicep armor and turn it forward for your next round of photos. Remember, it's bicep armor not elbow armor! Also make sure that the two circles on the greeblies are facing forward

7) Close your helmet all the way when taking your next round of pics

8) The bund is dropping below the belt on your back photo. Maybe it's a touch too long?

9) Make sure we get good pics of the bicep greeblies, the belt joins and your blaster

10) Can you get the front of your boot soles cut as well?

11) Your pants legs seem a bit baggy. Do they need to be brought in a bit? Or maybe stirrups on your pants cuffs would help pull them down into your boots?

 

I know, it seems like a lot, but it's the little details that make the difference. Reference photo below:

1) Move your pouches out a touch so we can see all 5 ribs on the bund

-- Easy enough, will do.

 

2) Your bund's rear closure doesn't seem to be centered, or else it is off in the photo. So your bund strap is also pulling off to the side.

-- I'll be discussing this with Gabe/Joleen to work on a fix.

 

3) Bring your dropboxes down maybe an inch.

-- That shouldn't be an issue, I'll work on that when I get a chance.

 

4) The thigh straps are a bit high and loose. See the pic below for a model

-- I'll be discussing this with Gabe/Joleen to work on a fix.

 

5) Vest and bund closures need to be right-over-left.

-- I'll be discussing this with Gabe/Joleen to work on a fix.

 

6) Bring up your bicep armor and turn it forward for your next round of photos. Remember, it's bicep armor not elbow armor! Also make sure that the two circles on the greeblies are facing forward

-- Is that with the changes I already made? As in move it higher? Just want confirmation before making changes.

 

7) Close your helmet all the way when taking your next round of pics

-- I'll add a touch of velcro to seal it in better.

 

8) The bund is dropping below the belt on your back photo. Maybe it's a touch too long?

-- That was more-so an error when dressing, I'll correct this next round of photos.

 

9) Make sure we get good pics of the bicep greeblies, the belt joins and your blaster

-- Absolutely. Will take some snaps and update this with those.

 

10) Can you get the front of your boot soles cut as well?

-- I'll talk with Chris about it, if not, maybe Gabe might be able to help out along with the other changes.

 

11) Your pants legs seem a bit baggy. Do they need to be brought in a bit? Or maybe stirrups on your pants cuffs would help pull them down into your boots?

-- The suit is a tad baggy overall, when I get the other changes done I'll see if this can be tailored in a bit more to be snug.

The bicep armor is more of a positioning thing when taking the photos. We know they tend to slip and turn around. We just like them up on your biceps (right below the vest sleeve) and turned more forward, with the two discs on the greeblies facing forward.

Perfect!

 

For the time being here are a few updated photos as requested, the rest will come when I get all the changes done.

Heya Guys, just wanted to throw some photos to show this isn't dead in the water! I've been busy with other projects and had commissioned Gabe and Joleen to make me a new Bund & Vest as well as modding my Flightsuit in the meantime. So, what's different? The cod is sewn to the Flak Vest, the elastic attaches to the Bund which is also now on its own. The flightsuit is slimmer around leg area and the elastic leg loops are tighter and lower. With the help of Chris I lowered my drop boxes, you can see the difference from the original submission. And lastly the front sole of the boots have been cut to match the rest of the pattern.

 

Below are photos taken at the Legoland Troop I did this Saturday, keep in mind this was about two hours after trooping so some things were moved around. Mickey and I discussed the dressing issues that need to be fixed for the next "official" round of photos, such as drop boxes being uneven because of belt tilting a bit, cod piece being a bit bunched, and moving the bicep/forearms back into place. But, if anything else really obvious jumps out please let me know! I'll try to set up a time to suit up and take another round this week with the dressing fixes.

*bumping*

In case this got buried with other notifications :) otherwise, ignore. Just anxious to know if there is anything else needed. Thanks!

Mickey reached out to me via Facebook and we discussed the visible stitching on the Pouches (a Lancer CRL no-no), this has been resolved.

This fix still confuses me cause movie scouts have that stitching, Gino even showed me a picture of an original pouch that had it. When does anyone think this will be changed? Isn't lancer for ultimate accuracy?

But Ginos pics aren't readily available to be seen by all, so we go buy what we can tell from the resources we have available to us. Also, please refrain from commenting on others Lancer submission threads. They are for applicant and review team only to post.
