Chopper Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Thank you for your application, Stephen. The Lancer Review Team has had a chance to review your submission and we have the following comments: First off, it would be greatly appreciated if you could please link to the higher reference photos for your application? It's very difficult for us to see a lot of the details in your app with such small images. For a Lancer review the key is in the details! Anyhow, here we go: Helmet: -The seam-joins on the helmet are uneven and will need to be re-sanded and cleaned up for Lancer. We’ve marked the areas that need attention in the photos below. -The decal that sits above the snout is misplaced. It should be mounted higher, on the flat/vertical area just underneath the visor. Please see reference photos below for proper positioning. -The visor appears to be green in color, the CRL specifically calls for "black in color". It will need to be replaced. CRL Level 1: “Lens is black in color and obscures wearer's eyes” -Your chin cup is threaded incorrectly. Please see reference photo below for proper threading, -Also, can you please provide a close up photo of your chin cup? We are uncertain what the two white pieces are? See marked photo below. Flight Suit: -We are unable to see the butt flap on your coveralls, due to the small size of the images. Please provide linked higher resolution photos for our review. Shoulder Armor: -As a fitment issue, your shoulder armor is pushed back and uneven. Your left shoulder is pushed back further than the right. Both shoulder armor parts should be centered on your shoulders. Upper Arm Armor: -T-Bit greeblies are either poorly cast or have glue residue on them? Can you provide clearer photos with better lighting? If the issue is the casts of the greeblies, then they will need to be replaced. Otherwise, they'll need to be cleaned up. Reference CRL Level 2: “Film-accurate ‘T-bit’ detail is mounted to armor.” -The bicep armor, particularly the side portions, are not accurate to the screen used armor, you will need to consider modifying or replacing them. Please see reference photos below. -As a fitment issue, your bicep armor should come up about 1". Forearm Armor: -As a fitment issue, please rotate forearm armor forward. You want your biceps to be at 90 degree positions on each side, with the forearms at about 45 degrees on each side. See the CRL photo for reference on ideal positioning. Back Armor: -Your tank topper is too large for your tank. You will need to either purchase a smaller-sized tank topper, or get one 3D Printed in a more appropriately scaled size. CRL Level 2: “Tank has screen-accurate greeblie tank topper detail.” -Can you please clarify, are those molding imperfections on the back lower left of your tank? If those are mold imperfections, then they will need to be sanded and cleaned up. You may be able to fill and sand them with ABS paste, but it’s hard to tell from the size of the photos. Cummerbund: -As a fitment issue, please pull your bund up about 1.5 to 2 inches, so it's not falling under the side straps. Velcro on your flak vest may help keep your bund up. Belt and Detonator: -As a fitment issue, you belt is too low and is drooping in the back. It should come up about 1.5 to 2" along with your bund. -Your drop boxes are too high. They should hang about 1 " from the belt. CRL Level 2: “Drop boxes hang approximately 1 inch from the belt.” -On your detonator box, you should trim the return edge off of the circular indent where the det tubing is placed inside the detonator box. Please see reference photo below. Boots: -We noticed that you're using the Imperial Boots brand scout boots. Compared with the ideal proportions, as shown in the CRL image, your boots are about 2" too short, based on the positioning of your knee armor. -The boots also use a two-tone sole, which will need to be painted a single "wheat" color. Reference CRL Level 2: “The boot sole is a single color with no visible stitching.” -Boots are also missing the slots cut into the heels and toes as per the CRL. Reference CRL Level 2: “The boots have slots cut into the heels and toes as seen in the film.” Holster: -The boot holster assembly is not accurate to screen example. You will need to either fix how the scope holder mounts to the back portion, or replace the holster entirely with a more accurate version. Please see reference photos below. -The screen used holsters only had 5 cut outs, so the extra cut-out will need to be filled in with ABS paste and sanded flush. -The rivets used to mount the holster are quite large. We recommend using 1/8" rivets for all rivets used on the scout armor. Blaster: -Please provide close up photos of the blaster, to include barrel and scope front and back. Gloves: -Trim the attachment clips off of the gloves. Listen, we recognize that this is a lot to take in. Some of the issues come from the WTF armor , which, due to some of the inaccuracies, can be challenging to clear for Lancer. Take your time reading it over, and by all means, please let us know if you have questions, need clarification, or want additional guidance.

bunker Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 Understood - didn't help that most of the work was done while away from real stores. Some of the mistakes (the tank and helmet specifically - no I would classify them as "user error" versus molding problems) noted are a result of that and having to work with what I had... The biceps, molding as they came in smaller than your photo guide...so tracking that Thanks for the pointers and I will get back to you with updates upon completion.

Chopper Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Stephen, I want to offer a sincere apology. Your response in the thread today had me checking the feedback we'd posted a few days ago. In looking at the earlier post, I realized that the first part of the feedback had been left off -- likely a cut and paste error. Please add these two items below to your initial feedback list from Monday 6/15. (I'll edit the original post so it's all in one place as well). Again, I am very sorry to have missed this in the initial posting and please accept my apologies. _________________________________________ Helmet: -The seam-joins on the helmet are uneven and will need to be re-sanded and cleaned up for Lancer.

bunker Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 those white pieces in my chin cup were from a sweat collector that I had done for comfort - so it was extra cloth images: https://imgur.com/a/wEYbb0Z or https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipMkonFI4tXQuIgV74d7Cj1_kQMVn7kGO0tCOMXgO6BtUgeurF06HzUiLeyPRxOy9A?key=QXg3cXNoSS11c0RMMU1RYkUweXBoMko3dEpIaVRR hope one of those works...
