Lucasfan7 Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 Hopefully all these pics come through, are there any red flag or areas of concern on any of these parts so far. I plan to glue down the webbing to the belt where it attaches behind the rivet. I believe I saw Aradun do it on his. Also I just wanted to make sure that it’s left over right on the belt?

Chopper Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 The CRL images have the belt as left over right and you're free to emulate that setup. There's nothing specifically in the CRL that requires one side over the other though. Either works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure there is going to be a few things here and there that don’t necessarily matter for the CRL, but are still done a specific way. Wether it be on screen or in the community.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucasfan7 Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 Please let me know if there is any problem areas on these. I’m trying to get what I have done all uploaded in here so that way I can just upload as I work. I should have started this WIP a couple weeks ago, sorry guys.

BikerScout007 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Gino's scout is a great place to start. Here's my photos of it if they help at all https://goo.gl/photos/Q2hPC94yrQP4YJQW7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's my photos of it if they help at allhttps://goo.gl/photos/Q2hPC94yrQP4YJQW7Thank you soooooo much for that brotha. I just saved all those to my album.I spent about 2 hours in my hotel room last night trying to track down more of Ginos photos. Seems like there is only the same 4 photos online that he has on RPF and his FB page. Is this the exhibit he had up in Orlando? I remember being in awe of all his pieces but I was side tracked by his Vader’s since I was in the middle of a build and completely neglected to take pics of the scout. Questions on Ginos scout- 1-Would his level of weathering pass lancer? 2-Did he get access to a LFL scout for this build, like he usually does with all his stuff?3-I hope you don’t mind the paragraphs I have been writing, I know some of you probably check up once a day so I want to get all my questions and concerns to you all in one sitting?

BikerScout007 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 1. Yes. Absolutely yes. That's how it should be done 2. Yes (oh and notice the zipties?) 3. Is there a question there? Yes those are the Orlando photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's my photos of it if they help at allhttps://goo.gl/photos/Q2hPC94yrQP4YJQW7I remember you saying that Gino said all the backs of the armor he saw were different so I’m guessing this was just one of the renditions he saw? It’s completely original to anything I have seen and kinda cool. I’m going to stick with the original style I think but is the red stripe supposed to come all the way down the end of that knob for lancer or is just the top fine?

Chopper Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Yes, that's correct. Gino has mentioned that there were different markings on the tank toppers, maybe to differentiate between the various suits. The current CRL only allows for the "white dot" version of the tank topper though. Based on Gino's suit and screen grabs, the red line detail on the top of the vertical piece of the knob should be on both ends and the top.

Lucasfan7 Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 Here is my work on the back and tank. I plan to go back and add red to the ends of the knob on the tank when I finish it up this weekend.

Lucasfan7 Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 So I came across my first snag on theirs build, I remember the SC V1 kit having a different holster set up, I could be mistaken, but I don’t remember having this much trouble trying to get it to fit in its groove.Cutting the slit openings in the front of the holster was a pain in my butt but I got it done, I’m not sure how you all feel about the bottom line being bigger than the rest, but it was crooked originally so my fix was to open it up a bit, I didn’t really want to open up the rest since it is not that open in the movies but now it’s kinda bothering me so what do you think.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 This photo is from the odd, one-off left handed holster, but you can see that the slits aren't all perfectly straight either. I think your slits are ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucasfan7 Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 What are you guys opinions on filling the seam line where the main holster portion meets the plate at the front of the holster. I know it’s not a requirement for lancer, but what are your general opinions on it?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Honestly haven't given it much thought. I guess it looks a little neater, but nothing we are going to knock you for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Yeah, I don't think you need to fill the holster seam against the plate, I mean, not unless you really want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome, as long as it is not going to take away from getting lancer. I think I will fill it in, I need to FILL my time with something while I wait for these soft goods and helmet, you see what I did there, lolSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro I've seen them done different ways. It depends on the maker. My Strider kit holster I had to glue, but the SC holster had a slot that the holster plastic inserted into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivets would be a no no though correct?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
