Retrofire Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 Jason,Thank you very much for you application! We look forward to reviewing and look forward to getting the photo sets this weekend. Thank you for helping us with that!We will initiate a review and get back to you Pathfinder. 1
Retrofire Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 Hi Jason! Apologies for the lag time but here are the items we are requesting to be addressed.1.) Forearm and bicep armor rotated too far around the arm. This has to do with fitment and you’ll want them to align down your arm.2.) Right boot closure not secure. 3.) TD end caps look to have an odd spiral pattern (engraving). These should be smooth. Can you clarify this?4.) Dog bone ends look to be squared not rounded. These just look like they need to be trimmed a little to round the center of the piece.5.) Helmet paint in snout area (black outline) needs to be touched up.You’ve done a fantastic job so far and should be proud! Just a few touch ups to finish up. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me, Chopper, or Stroker. Again, excellent work Scout looking forward to seeing this completed! 1
Lawless Scout Posted February 26, 2019 Author Posted February 26, 2019 1.) Forearm and bicep armor rotated too far around the arm. This has to do with fitment and you’ll want them to align down your arm. • I’ll adjust and retake photo. These always go straight down my arm but think I rotated my arm in these photos. I have magnets in the bicep armor that is straight down arm 2.) Right boot closure not secure. • easy to adjust 3.) TD end caps look to have an odd spiral pattern (engraving). These should be smooth. Can you clarify this? • The caps were 3D printed and I thought I had sanded, and primered/ painted enough to be clean. I can probably sand and repaint to be smoother. 4.) Dog bone ends look to be squared not rounded. These just look like they need to be trimmed a little to round the center of the piece. • The bone was a tad over the sole and I trimmed them a bit but perhaps a bit too much. Perhaps I can trim a bit rounder. 5.) Helmet paint in snout area (black outline) needs to be touched up. • will do! 1

Jason, not sure if you were using this same primer before, but I've found that it's pretty magical with smoothing out 3D print lines. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-Automotive-11-oz-Gray-Filler-Primer-Spray-249279/202097276 1

Retrofire Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 With regard to #4 that’s what we’re looking for. Just make them a little rounder and not end in a point. Please don’t overdo it we don’t want you to ruin those boots
Lawless Scout Posted February 27, 2019 Author Posted February 27, 2019 FYI getting that black around the snout was the hardest part of the whole process!! Haha. Man is it tough to get perfect. So you’d like to see me redo it the size is ok but there is something that isn’t perfectly defined?

Please don’t overdo it we don’t want you to ruin those boots This is after a very busy year of trooping. Are these rounded enough or need to adjust more? 1
Lawless Scout Posted March 3, 2019 Author Posted March 3, 2019 Need some direction on black snout repaint please. Too light? Not correct size? What was the issue so I can make sure to do it correctly. Thank you. 1
Retrofire Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Need some direction on black snout repaint please. Too light? Not correct size? What was the issue so I can make sure to do it correctly. Thank you. The dogbones are looking much better. Thank you for making the changes there. Regarding the snout it looks like there is some overspray around the top hemicircle and it’s not very sharp. We would just like to see the edges a little cleaner. You can touch up that area with some white and it should clean right up. Here’s a pic of my lid. Note the black outline around the snout.I hope this answers your question and keep up the fine work you’re almost there!
Lawless Scout Posted March 7, 2019 Author Posted March 7, 2019 Jason, not sure if you were using this same primer before, but I've found that it's pretty magical with smoothing out 3D print lines. Did more sanding and respray. Think the circle pattern is gone now.

Lawless Scout Posted April 20, 2019 Author Posted April 20, 2019 Hi I’m going to withdraw this app as I picked up a MonCal kit recently and finished that. So will submit with that instead. Same soft parts and bucket. But new armor. Should I uodate photos or redo whole app? 2
