Cborys Road to Lancer WIP


Cborys

Recommended Posts

Hello folks,

 

I have decided to start my lancer build after 5 ish years.

 

I have been approved since 2016 as a scout but have not updated anything, which No gives me the opportunity update all the pieces.

 

First thing I am focusing on is the soft pieces as these were only meant to be temporary pieces.

 

Cummerbund

 

First stop is the cummerbund, while I understand the normal height should be around 8-9 inches, I have a short torso and might need to shorten it.

This is me with my old cummerbund. I measured and I am sitting at just a bit over 8 inches in height.

 

Although I am wondering if anyone thinks I should go shorter

The codpiece is a printout that I got from one of the Lancer build threads. I will post link, while the shape is much better than my old codpiece I am finding that the width might be a bit too much for my stature.

Hi Christina, your bund doesn't look long on its own, but the shape of the old SC chest armor makes it one of the longer chest armor parts.

I wouldn't go a ton shorter on the bund. If you're looking at Level 2/Lancer, then you could maybe take up to 1/2" to 1" off, since your bund is coming up over your side straps. Before altering anything, how does it look with your pouches on?

The overall shape of the cod is good, but as you said, it's a little wide on you. I would keep the shape, but maybe trim 1/2" from each side and see how that looks.

So over the holidays I had purchased the newer updated SC chest armour.

With the cod piece I had also trimmed 1/2 inch on either side.

Comparing to the previous pictures I can already tell it looks way better.
