Finished...I think. Waithing on approval.

Well done! Nice and light weathering, cuts on the boot soles, and overall great. Can't see anything that jumps out that should deny for your approval :)

 

On a visual note, are you able to move your forearm pieces a down a bit? I believe the front-ends should be over the gloves a bit, not something that'll hold you up of course!

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I will adjust the forearms down.

Looking really good! I am really impressed and I think you should apply for Lancer, but.....

 

Did you rivet your belt together??

Unfortunately I did. I'd have to redo the belt and are the black TD clips required?

Try to get your hands on a one-piece belt when you do, since that will make it easier for Lancer.

 

Here are the clips:

Nice work!

Can anyone point me to a vendor that supplies a one-piece belt? My current belt is from SC and comes in 3 different pieces but to meet Lancer specs I'd like a single piece belt.

 

Check out how Pandatrooper turned his SC belt into a single piece belt. I think this is good enough to meet lancer requirements, but I'm not one that makes that call.

SC Belt modified shouldn't be an issue for Lancer, you'll just need to make it look as close to one piece as possible.

It's going to be a little bit trickier now than it has in the past with the new standard. Just gluing it together with E6000 won't be enough. The overlap will need to be filled in in such a way as to make it look like one piece and then the belt will need repainting.

Correct, with the 2016 Revisions it'll require filler to appear seamless and be re-painted to match completely (unless filler matches?)

 

Just meant that since he has the belt already in hand that he might be able to just work on modifying it instead of sourcing a single belt

Well he also put 4 rivets through it so it might just be time for a new belt.

This is true. New belt is needed. I don't consider myself a crafty person and don't know much about materials but are there any recommendations on a filler that can flex with the belt without cracking??

 

Hmm not sure because I haven't run into this issue yet, but maybe silicone?

Ya know, the belt detail pic on the Legion CRL page actually has 4 rivets (2 securing each section of the SC belt). We should see about changing that just to avoid confusion.
