Infernau Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 I'm shooting for level 2 biker scout. I've not seen shoulder bells attached with zip ties in the movies (I have a picture of the scout trooper after he hits Han in ROTJ and the top of the shoulder bells are clean, no zip ties. Where is the preferred way to attack the waist pouches that hang over the cummerbund, some velcro them to the inside of the chest armor, do others velcro them to the back of the cummerbund itself? No specific are given. the cod piece is not to be stitched to the cummerbund for level 2 approval, then should it be made longer so that it sits under the cummerbund and attached to the rear via webbing and velcro? I feel the crl could be more descriptive as it what is expected and perhaps how this could be achieved.
Infernau Posted September 8, 2019 Author Posted September 8, 2019 Also, where does one acquire concave bolts for the helmet?
Stroker Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 You can use velcro to attach pouches to the bund. The cod piece attaches to the flak vest via velcro. The strap on the cod piece attaches to the back of the vest. 1
Stroker Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Also give the Lancers apps a look through. That'll answer a lot of questions for you. http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/index.php?/forum/51-lancer-deployment-request/
Infernau Posted September 9, 2019 Author Posted September 9, 2019 I'm thinking Lancer and level 2 are the same thing by the looks of things.

You can use this thread for some suggestions for keeping your costume together. They're only suggestions though, not hard and fast rules. http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/index.php?/topic/18894-some-tips-for-keeping-your-scout-costume-together-while-trooping/ You can order the 3M bolts here: http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/index.php?/topic/10270-fs-accurate-tb-helmet-hardware-kit-headband-kit/
Infernau Posted September 9, 2019 Author Posted September 9, 2019 Has anyone in the Lancer group stayed true to form, I looked up Lancers in Wookiepedia, they were armed with melee weapons; hence the name. Or is it just a title to differentiate troopers that go the extra mile for screen accuracy?
Stroker Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Just a title. It mostly comes from scout being able to work in a Lance. No the only weapons a scout can carry is the hold out blaster as seen in the movie or a dlt 19 dlt 20a and the heavy dlt 19. You've probably already seen it but here it is https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Scout_trooper 1

We've never regulated the stuff that we can't see. We only judge on the visible parts of the costume. 1. We have plenty of photos of the zipties. You can see one quite obviously in the Costumes book. Remember the Scout Trooper that fights with Han is wearing the rubber stunt armor so it was not made the same as the others. 2. You can sew the pouches to the bund as was done in the film. Or you can velcro them, which is what I do. Makes it easier to wash. The chest armor attachment method was traditional around these parts for a while and it does provide a lot of support for your phone and such, but the pouches always hang at weird angles when they are attached to the armor. For level 2 it has to have the "appearance" of being attached to the bund. How you do it is up to you. 3. Yup. Mine is sewn to the bottom of my vest, as was done in the movie. But again, because you can't see the connection, we don't make demands on how it is done. Lots of people just velcro it to the flight suit or to the back of the cummerbund. 1
Infernau Posted September 9, 2019 Author Posted September 9, 2019 do you happen to have a link for the zip tie bells?
Infernau Posted September 9, 2019 Author Posted September 9, 2019 do you run two strips of velcro in the back or do you run the top tab " Pouches have an attachment tab of at least 2 inches high to attach to the cummerbund". by itself without velcro at the base (I assume the pouches would flop around without any bottom velcro. Is the tab velcroed direct to the face of the cummerbund or around the top to the backside of the cummerbund?

I run a strip of velcro loop across the top of my bund and then have hook on the back of the attachment tabs of the pouches. It's okay if the bottom of the pouches swing out. They did in the film. 2
Infernau Posted September 9, 2019 Author Posted September 9, 2019 very helpful everybody, thanks a ton! 2
Infernau Posted September 9, 2019 Author Posted September 9, 2019 looking forward to notching out the soles of the boots, anyone have pics of heel and toe notching, I have the pics from the movie but it only shows outer right.
Chopper Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 You can see an example of Mr. Poopie's scout sole here. Should give you a view of how the cuts are arranged. 2
Infernau Posted September 9, 2019 Author Posted September 9, 2019 looks like a loop to me lads, I was chatting with the guy from Studio Creations since he's making my armor. he sent me this pic.

Which he got from this forum.... Do it how you like. Again we don't specify the method, just that we can see the ziptie bridge between the bell and the shoulder bridge. 2
