rawktrooper Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Can you elaborate on the "new bucket" (i.e., "new" as of when)? I'm in the queue for an MC and am wondering if I need to ping them to be sure I'm getting the latest... Thanks! Dan New offering in early 2018 i believe. From what i heard, they are just finishing final tweaks and will be offering when the photos are done. Don't quote me on the timing, but its a great looking bucket. I am just finishing my MC armor, and then working some alterations for the soft bits (which i have been doing myself). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawktrooper Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 is the back hump seperate from the back armor? was wondering if I could use this for lancer, if not are there any other mods I will need to make for lancer. the MC back and hump are separate pieces, as the original.

Good news, and I’ll have to email Kathy to ask about it. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyder918 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Because there are so many variations of white, what are the shade differences with these armors? Have any mixed/match armor/helmets with different vendors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 Because there are so many variations of white, what are the shade differences with these armors? Have any mixed/match armor/helmets with different vendors? I have always mixed and matched. I had SC armor and KS lid, then SC armor with an RS Props, finally Strider armor with RS Props lid. The RS is the only one that has stood out, because they paint them matte white instead of glossy. And even then the difference is barely noticeable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikerscout73 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Is MC armor bigger than SC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroker Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Is MC armor bigger than SC MC's chest and back are smaller than SC. The other parts of MC's scout is about right with the movie scout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbinger Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 How does Strider fit? I'm on the shorter side (5'7"). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harbinger Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Thanks! Suggestion, a straight-on photo of the screen-used helmet would be a good addition to the first post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerscout73 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I just got MC armor..... are the thigh boxes the right size? They seem really small. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share Posted February 5, 2018 I just got MC armor..... are the thigh boxes the right size? They seem really small.Yes! Thigh boxes on the film scouts are tiny. Not sure why so many armor makers get this wrong Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerscout73 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Did anyone have to heat bend your belt to make it round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
762s Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Did anyone have to heat bend your belt to make it round. alot of folks have had to do this. my cfo/strider armor required me to heat the belt up to make it round. i used a small heat iron, some use a hot bath and some use a heat gun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 My SC belt was very flexible, but that was also back when they were 3 pieces. I wish I had heated my Strider belt. I ended up cracking it. But I filled the crack with caulk and its all good. Weathering, man Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally just grabbed what was under my sink. Worked well too. No one has said a peep since i patched it up. Which beats "hey man, your belt is cracked!" any day...

Stroker Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I rounded mine a bit more with a heat gun and reenforced the areas I bent with spars bits of abs plastic. My belt came already bent/circular. Just had to bend it a bit more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DancesWithTrees Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 This is an amazing post. What set of armor is the most screen accurate? It looks like the wtf is close but the chest seems long or maybe it’s the angle or something. Any suggestion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opinion top 3 for accuracy are: 1) CFO/Strider 2) Moncal 3) Chef But you can be approved with any set of armor and even achieve Lancer provided you do the work! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Chridan Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Lol...I didn't know that I'm the model for D'Chef's armour....but cool. And one important note please....the helmet is NOT from D'Chef, it's a "Lone Wolf" helmet. Well, only the armour is from D'Chef. Thx.....Cheers.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
