BrotherHalo Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Thanks, Daan. We'll get back to you shortly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecyclone Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 First off, you will need to change your straps or pouches so they are uniform and match with each other. I see that you are going "dirty", so you will either need to change the pouches to white and dirty them up, or change your straps to off-white to match the pouches. Personally, I would change the pouches to white and dirty them up, because it's easier than redoing the straps and it will look more accurate.

TB-7021 Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 Thanks for the fast response. I will changes the pouches to white. As soon as they are finished I will post new pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrotherHalo Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 it also appears that the pouches may be too small. they don't look quite proportional to your body. how tall are you? Also, the vest sleeves look like a satin material. The material for the sleeves should have more of a matte finish to the cloth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the vest sleeves look like a satin material. The material for the sleeves should have more of a matte finish to the cloth. I'am 1,7 meter. Because of that I made the pouches a little bit smaller (maybe too small). How much larger do they have to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB-7021 Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 About the vest; I didn't use Satin to make this vest. Also on the last pictue with the white pouches you can see it is less shiny as satin. In the movie the sleeves of the vest look a different material as the vest and the flightsuit. That's why I used this material, and is saw Perdikkas (TB-2699) also used this material for his sleeves. And about the pouches. If I make them larger, they will hang over my belt. What I can try is to lower them a bit, now they are directly under the chest armor. Maybe if I lower them by 1 or 2 centimeters it will look much better.

TB-7021 Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 Does that mean these are good enough? And what about the vest? In the last picture I wear different vest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherHalo Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 What are you using for your bolts on your helmet? Are those button covers or are they bolts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB-7021 Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 What are you using for your bolts on your helmet? Are those button covers or are they bolts? I think they are button covers or something like it. Berry (TB-8719) gave them to me, he uses the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherHalo Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 According to the Lancer requirements, these need to be flat headed bolts. That might be the last change needed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB-7021 Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 I changed the bolts a few weeks ago. I just realized I didn't post new picutes of it. There are a bit smaller. I'll post new photos tommorow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TB-7021 Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 Oke, I still have a few questions; 1. Are the pouches in post 10 of this topic good enough for lancer? 2. In the same picture, I wear a different vest, is this one good? 3. I changed the bolts as shown in my last post. Do I have to change them again? 4. Is there something more that has to be changed to become a lancer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB-1019 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I think you have made all the changes you were asked to. The pouches look much more proportionally correct and the bolt covers look good as well. The vest looks fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
