NinjaScout Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 Hello all, Here are the pre-clearance pics. I noted the lack of alignment on the shoulder bell, bicep and forearm. Anything else stand out? I appreciate the feedback.
Retrofire Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 A minor nit but the left rear buckel looks too low. I think it needs to be moved more towards the center of the webbing. It looks great! Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk 1
Griffin-X Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 Looking good trooper! A few comments: raise your drop boxes about 1" and lower your forearms. They should overlap he gloves slightly. 1
Retrofire Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 Look forward to seeing the GML approval message! Great work! Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk 1
NinjaScout Posted March 26, 2016 Author Posted March 26, 2016 Looking good trooper! A few comments: raise your drop boxes about 1" and lower your forearms. They should overlap he gloves slightly. I was purposely trying to avoid overlap. Good to know. Do they go over the glove or inside?
NinjaScout Posted March 26, 2016 Author Posted March 26, 2016 Also my squad already wants me to make it dirty.
Griffin-X Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 I was purposely trying to avoid overlap. Good to know. Do they go over the glove or inside? Yep, overlap the outside. And dirty? That will come naturally as you troop!
NinjaScout Posted March 26, 2016 Author Posted March 26, 2016 Thanks everyone. Would it get approved as is with comments or would I have to re-submit? I am still pending now and this is my first 501st submission.
Griffin-X Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 You should be fine for Pathfinder clearance. Mostly just look and feel things to tighten up you scout.
stasz Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 You could probably turn your shoulder bells toward your front just a touch. This is one of those things you'll tweak every time you suit up. They're more to your back in the pictures. And although it's not required, slightly shaping the bells and rounding the corners on the bells looks really sharp! Check out Panda's build for a reference if you're interested in doing that: http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=9781 Great looking Scout, though. Well done!
NinjaScout Posted March 27, 2016 Author Posted March 27, 2016 I didn't get approved. A few changes to make and I'll implement the advice from here also. Some new pre-clearance pics coming this evening.
stasz Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 If you're willing to share, I'd be curious what the critiques were from your GML. "Picky" GMLs are definitely NOT a bad thing. We do represent the Glorious Empire after all 1
NinjaScout Posted March 27, 2016 Author Posted March 27, 2016 I don't mind the critique. I want to be the best scout I can be and I expect to have to be as close to perfect as possible each time out for the Empire! (But I do want to be done so I can start another project) I'll summarize the corrections. 1. Cummerbund was showing a bit below the belt. 2. Cod needs to be tucked better (but no cameltoe) and crotch seems a little long/baggy 3. Forearms lower and over the glove - (same as I have heard here) 4. Pouches seem sloppy - press and hang better 5. Round shoulder bell more than I did already (I'll do the PandatTooper 1.75 diameter round as suggested) Essentially I need to learn to wear the suit better is the main gist. Also need to work the lexan scissors one last time. Might go ahead and do the chin cup today also if I find my left over elastic. Thanks for the tips, everyone. I appreciate them.
Chex Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Other then the cod still looking a tad loose, I didn't really see a reason for tou to not get approved the first time. If the Florida GML denies again, please let me know. 1
NinjaScout Posted April 1, 2016 Author Posted April 1, 2016 I was asked to put in my 501st app yesterday. While I don't have official word I think that is a good sign. Right? I still may re-make the cod at some point. I have the strap connecting to the back of the cod now with Velcro. Do I just make it tighter? 1
Retrofire Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 You need to find a balance between thight and too tight as the did will roll over and look like a thong. In think in going to go with a plastic insert like Pandatrooper and some other scouts have to avoid this problem. Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk
NinjaScout Posted April 1, 2016 Author Posted April 1, 2016 Still no word. Wearing out the refresh button.
Griffin-X Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Still no word. Wearing out the refresh button. Waiting is the hardest part. You've done a great job and I'm sure you'll be approved soon enough. 1
Forest Ranger Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 I don't see anything deterring you from getting approved, just be patient.
