MrPoopie Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Great work on the armor. After our initial inspection the team has found these areas listed below will need further adjustments. Back: Neck dips very low, below the tank and should have about an inch of back showing above the tank line. You can try adjusting the shoulder bridges by bringing them up and overlapping the chest shoulder bridges while trying to bring the tank down. I suggest taping things in place before making any cuts. If you have further questions about this before cutting please just ask. (Image-01) Shoulder: Can you confirm that the shoulders are affixed with zip ties. It's difficult to tell from the photo. Bund: Visible stitch lines on upper center of bund. It seems like there's velcro sewn behind. The stitching will need to be picked out and removed. Bund should also rest on the top of the belt and not be tucked in. Pouch: Pouches are off-white and belt box straps and chest sides straps will need to be off-white to match. From the CRL: 'If pouches are off-white, dropbox straps must be dyed to match." Belt: Dropbox straps appear to be elastic and need to be made from webbing. From the CRL: "Dropbox straps are 1.5 inches (38mm) wide and made of white cotton webbing." Boots: Toe strip is too tall. Should be roughly ½”. Please note that Imperial Boots/Keep Trooping scout boots are noted for having issues at Level 2: http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/topic/21881-rotj-scout-armor-kit-accuracy-and-level-2-lancer-applications/ Flightsuit: Buttflap is oversized. Take approximately 2-2.5” off of the bottom and 1” off of each side. Image-01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaHoff Posted September 13, 2023 Author Share Posted September 13, 2023 Hey, thanks for the featback so far. I will check those points of adjustments. But it could take a while since my wife is about to give birth to our second daughter 😋 I dont know when, but i'll give you guys updates! Thanks again! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaHoff Posted September 13, 2023 Author Share Posted September 13, 2023 But I already have a question regarding my tank-issue: Since the bottom of the tank already reaches the bottom of the backarmor, is there a chance to ajust it anyway? By putting the tank further down i would overlap down there.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By putting the tank further down i would overlap down there.. I need to make a clarification (and a bit of a walk-back), there was some confusion from the armor team. The area around the collar is a little shallow but not the problem area. You back is just sitting a little too low and you will need to take a bit off of the shoulder bridges to bring the entire back up. The best way to approach this is to overlap the shoulder bridges on the back with the shoulder bridges on the chest, tape them in place temporarily and then you can see how much needs to be removed from the back shoulder bridges. This will help move the back upward so that it's sitting properly. Let me know if that needs further explanation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaHoff Posted September 14, 2023 Author Share Posted September 14, 2023 Thanks for the clarification! I missunderstood the issue then 😅 As i said: i will need time for these changes. I don't know how much i should stress out my wife with stuff like this right now 😂 I will post my new setup as soon as i can. Thanks again for your time and work you put into these applications! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaHoff Posted September 16, 2023 Author Share Posted September 16, 2023 Unfortunately I can update already: I would like to pull back from my application for Lancer. The reason is, that I visited my local shoemaker and showed him the issue with the toe strip. He is too afraid to cut it smaller and pull it off not knowing what lies beneath. And this is also my opinion. The shoe looks totally perfect in my eyes and I don't wanna risk ruining it for cutting off 6mm of strap 😅 And buying new ones isn't worth it, too. Sorry for the time you already put in this and thanks again for your service! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
