Ewan_Giles09 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) Good evening all, Please find below my photos and link to the link to my Lancer WIP with a multitude of photos showing I hope all needed criteria for Lancer rank. (I've noticed that a lot of Lancer rank requests seem to include these photos in the actual request,... Oops lol, hope this isn't an issue). Here below are the pics for clearance: Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Edited January 25, 2020 by Ewan_Giles09 Added link and arranged photos to look neater.

Chopper Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Hi Mike, thank you very much for your application! The Lancer Review team has met and we have the following feedback: First off, we would like you to provide more images. Please take a look at some of the other approved Lancer applications here to get an idea of what's required. You will need measurements photos and detail shots. Also, if possible, it would be very helpful for our review if you could please link to higher resolution versions of your photos. Some details, such as your suede patches and flap, are very difficult to see with the current resolution photos. Based on the images you've provided, we do have some feedback -- Flight Suit It appears that your rear flap is approximately, 1.5" - 2" on the bottom. However, as noted above, it is very difficult to see the flap clearly, along with your suede riding patches. Before trimming anything, it would be very helpful if you could provide higher resolution images. Upper Arm Armor Can you please provide a detail photo of the greeblies on your bicep armor? It appears that you have two right side bicep armor greeblies installed in your bicep armor, but we'd like to verify with detail images. If this is the case, after seeing a close up image, then you will need to get in touch with Chef for the proper left bicep greeblie. Cummerbund Your bund appears to be several inches too long on you vertically. Ideally it should end just about on top of the front of your belt, which, for most scouts tends to be approximately 9". your belt placement in your front photo, actually looks good, so you can work from there. You can use the image below as a reference for your bund positioning: Belt and Detonator Please make sure your drop boxes are centered on the sides of your legs. Also please center the parachute buckles on your drop box webbing. Knee Armor and Boots Your knee armor is hanging over the tops of your boots. Are you able to raise them, so they're positioned similarly to the CRL model? If you have them loose, it might help to sew some velcro on the knees of your flight suit to help keep them in place (this is also generally useful for bicep and forearm armor as well). Again, thank you very much, Mike, for your application and your patience. Please let us know if you have any questions or need any clarification. You got this!

Hi all, ok so here goes, by section: (Once again thanks for your review and comments, hopefully I can address these slowly but surely) General Feedback: "Also, if possible, it would be very helpful for our review if you could please link to higher resolution versions of your photos. Some details, such as your suede patches and flap, are very difficult to see with the current resolution photos." Answer: May I please ask what you need higher resolution photos of? Is it just the suede patches and flaps or are there other parts of the costume I need to take more snaps of? I only have my phone camera which is what I used so if I need to take higher res I'll need to maybe borrow an SLR or something. Flight SuitFeedback: "It appears that your rear flap is approximately, 1.5" - 2" on the bottom. However, as noted above, it is very difficult to see the flap clearly, along with your suede riding patches. Before trimming anything, it would be very helpful if you could provide higher resolution images." Answer: Based on your reply to my above question I'll see what I can do to get clearer images. Can you please clarify the feedback point however, are you saying the flap is too long or too short? Thanks. Upper Arm Armour Feedback: "Can you please provide a detail photo of the greeblies on your bicep armor? It appears that you have two right side bicep armor greeblies installed in your bicep armor, but we'd like to verify with detail images. If this is the case, after seeing a close up image, then you will need to get in touch with Chef for the proper left bicep greeblie." Answer: You are correct, I do have two right hand greeblies and I will be addressing this carefully to rectify. Cumberbund Feedback: "Your bund appears to be several inches too long on you vertically. Ideally it should end just about on top of the front of your belt, which, for most scouts tends to be approximately 9". your belt placement in your front photo, actually looks good, so you can work from there." Answer: My bund is indeed about 1.5 to 2 inches too long, I can only blame this probably on my poor quality measurements supplied to Chef when I ordered the build. So the belt is currently velcro'd level over the bottom of the bund to achieve the correct positioning of the belt on my waist, but yes the belt is over the bottom of the bund and fastened there with velcro so it doesn't move when I'm kitted up. I don't even know how to get this addressed in terms of modifying the bund so will probably have to invest in a new bund to address this point. 😢 Belt and Detonator Feedback: "Please make sure your drop boxes are centered on the sides of your legs. Also please center the parachute buckles on your drop box webbing." Answer: This I assume is just positioning and I will address when I kit up again, for both the placement of the drop boxes and the centering of the buckles. Knee Armour & Boots Feedback: "Your knee armor is hanging over the tops of your boots. Are you able to raise them, so they're positioned similarly to the CRL model? If you have them loose, it might help to sew some velcro on the knees of your flight suit to help keep them in place (this is also generally useful for bicep and forearm armor as well)." Answer: I already have velcro on my knees and on the inside of the knee armour, this suit is a velcro enthusiast's paradise or nightmare, depending on how much you like velcro! The boots are probably too tall for my legs, (again I guess my bad on measurements when ordering), so unfortunately the boots come up to just below my knee where the armour piece naturally rests. My only options are replace boots (booo!!) or velcro knee parts a bit higher and hope it doesn't look too odd. 🤔 Well that's it, please can you let me know your thoughts kind Lancer collective. Please also let me know what photos you want me to take again. My thanks and best regards to all. Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Hey Mike, the answers to your questions are below: May I please ask what you need higher resolution photos of? Is it just the suede patches and flaps or are there other parts of the costume I need to take more snaps of? Most phones have settings which can be adjusted to take higher res photos. We will need higher resolution photos that specifically show your riding patches and butt flap, as well as photos with a ruler of any biker scout kit items that have specified level 2 measurements, or need closer inspection like the open ear holes or blaster. You can use any of the previously approved Lancer applications as a guide, all of which are in the forum linked below. Being able to examine these details makes our review easier, and also makes the application go faster as well. http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/index.php?/forum/51-lancer-deployment-request/ Based on your reply to my above question I'll see what I can do to get clearer images. Can you please clarify the feedback point however, are you saying the flap is too long or too short? Thanks. We believe your flap is 1.5" to 2" too long in proportion to your body, but, because it's black on black and a lower resolution photo, it is very difficult for us to get a good view of it. My bund is indeed about 1.5 to 2 inches too long, I can only blame this probably on my poor quality measurements supplied to Chef when I ordered the build. So the belt is currently velcro'd level over the bottom of the bund to achieve the correct positioning of the belt on my waist, but yes the belt is over the bottom of the bund and fastened there with velcro so it doesn't move when I'm kitted up. I don't even know how to get this addressed in terms of modifying the bund so will probably have to invest in a new bund to address this point. I would hope that you wouldn't need to ditch the bund entirely. You should check with an alterations shop and see how much it would cost to reduce the vertical height. They should be able to open the back seam and take it down a bit. I already have velcro on my knees and on the inside of the knee armour, this suit is a velcro enthusiast's paradise or nightmare, depending on how much you like velcro! The boots are probably too tall for my legs, (again I guess my bad on measurements when ordering), so unfortunately the boots come up to just below my knee where the armour piece naturally rests. My only options are replace boots (booo!!) or velcro knee parts a bit higher and hope it doesn't look too odd. Due to the cost and effort in making a new set of boots, we'd be happy to take a look at how your knee armor looks with it raised higher. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work, but we're happy to look it over. Thank you very much, Mike, for your patience. Please let us know if you need anything else clarified.
