TheWolf Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Hi, Please see my costume below, for review for Lancer Status. Costume details consists of - Helmet - KS with custom self made decals, Moncal Snout. Undersuit - Custom self sewn, with suede flap and patches Blaster - PA blaster with barrel drilled and sights placed in Boots - Custom made with rear soles grooved Cummerbund and pouches - Custom self made Armour - SC Armour, with changed strapping Weathering is very light. I was aiming for armour that was in use, but not as dirty as most. Real world used as it were. Please advise of any changes that need to be made to complete this costume to acceptable standards. More pictures can be posted as required. (And please excuse the fat belly.. ) Dave - TB4132 Redback Garrisson QLD, Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecyclone Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 We will review and get back to you. The pouches need to be brought up more. The top of the pouch should be below the bottom of the chest armor. Also the pouches need to be switched around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWolf Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 Yeah, I didn't realize I had them backwards when I took the pictures on them on the floor. I swapped them to the correct orientation when I was wearing them, but it hard to photo white on white and the black on the black. I'll adjust their height and re-post another picture shortly. That's a pretty easy fix. Just need to shorten and re sew the hangers. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWolf Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 OK, I have added new velcro to raise the pouches. I'll do some overall shots again, once we have anything else fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWolf Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 Hello.... Still waiting to hear back... Hope I did not get missed in the stampede to become a lancer.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherHalo Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Would you mind posting a pic with you wearing the updated pouches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWolf Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 Here's me minus the gloves, forearms, and boots, to give you a look at the pouches and how they sit higher. Please excuse that they are a little out of kilter, it's ten to Eight in the morning here, and it's already 29.1 degrees C. (84 Fahrenheit), and about 85% humidity after the floods. I didn't want to be wearing the suit for too long, and I have to rush off to an Armour Party..... I left my helmet off, and made sure it was a wolf pic in the background, so you'd know it was me. Once any other problems are adjusted, I'll suit up fully in front of the green screen again. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherHalo Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Don't know why we missed this... It looks like that right pouch needs a bit of lifting to make it even with the left pouch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWolf Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 Rodger, Will get on to that tonight and post some new pics of everything together. Been a bit busy helping people build armour and get approved for the Dreamworld troop coming up this weekend. That will be the largest troop ever in the Southern hemishpere.. I'll post a photo of all the Scouts riding the motocoaster.... (A Motorbike roller coaster). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWolf Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 OK, I here are the overall shots again. After looking at some other pics, I think I may have strung my pouches too low still... Muppet beat me to it posting pics of the Motocoaster ride at Dreamworld........

4505Marcel Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I feel your thigh straps want to be a little tighter, I would like to see pictures of both bicep armors showing Tbits, also a picture of your flak vest please. I think your bund may need a little tweak, you need 7 verticle stitch lines that show between the pouches. In the picture they could still go up and in a touch. Also the black out line around the decal on the rear of the helmet needs to be removed. Just abit of tweaking mate. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWolf Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 I have some white Poly webbing, which I could replace the lowest strapping with, is that stuff ok to use, or does it need to be cotton webbing? I'll do some good close ups of the biceps/T Pieces, vest, and the cummerbund stripes. It's hard to get photos of the white as it's pretty clean, and the flash is washing detail out. I'll put new rear decals on shortly, without the black outer lines, and I'll move the pouches. As soon as I hear back about the straps, I'll get to fixing/changing them.

4505Marcel Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Its the straps that hold the drop boxes on, these now have to be made from "cotton" webbing type material only, no nylon is acceptable now. I got my misses stuff on Ebay and was really cheap bro, keeping the same length as yours are now, no longer. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my misses stuff on Ebay and was really cheap bro, keeping the same length as yours are now, no longer. Thanks OK, After some hunting around the stores here, I managed to find some cotton webbing. It's pretty dense and stiff too, so it sits better than the other Beige stuff I was using, and this stuff is white too, so I have replaced the straps with it. The Biceps and T Pieces - Close up and together - A close up of my Cummerbund, showing the stripes/stitching... This one is hard to see when I have it all on, and it a further away photo, hence this close up. Will try to get a good close up when wearing it too, but it does tend to "flash out". The vest all alone.... (Home made as well, like the suit) Oh, And the helmet black surround lines have been removed as well.... I'll move the pouches again too, and do another set of shots this afternoon, when it's cooler to wear... PS: I just pulled in the Thigh straps by 2.5 inches, so they don;t droop so much.

Witness Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Could we get some new pictures of you fully dressed, front, back and each side. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4505Marcel Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 You have 8 verticle stitch lines on your bund front bro, this needs to be reduced to 7 giving 6 raised areas. Your going to need to un pick them and redo. Its only a 5 minute job if you have a machine mate Apart from that just need to see you dressed as Dave has said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWolf Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 OK, Have altered the parts, and re-sewn the front stripes, so there are now six raised bits, seven sew lines. So here is a close up of the cummerbund now... Followed by the new all over pics.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWolf Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Any further feedback on how this looks now guys? Your feedback and knowledge in this process is invaluable. It's amazing how much I didn't know about the finer points of the scout kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witness Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Could i get some further photos of your boots? The material appears very stiff, and if I'm not mistaken, the left toe is crumpled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witness Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Also, your chestplate is riding a little high. I can see light through it from the side. It needs to come down at least an inch. The bottom of the chest and back plates should be equal distance from the ground whe standing straight. This will also fix some of your long cummerbund/tall upperbody look issues.

The bottom of the chest and back plates should be equal distance from the ground whe standing straight. This will also fix some of your long cummerbund/tall upperbody look issues. I have a small chest/fat gut issue as well. MY TK hides it a little, but the TB seems to show it off.. (too much beer... too little exercise). Anyhow, I had a critical look at my boots and decided that they are a little ragged, dirty, creased from use , and were tearing in one part, so I have re-covered them, with the softer, more flexible vinyl. They are not fully dry yet, so I have not removed the excess glue you can see in the pics. I can't actually see the glue in real light, but the flash seems to show it off well. Do you want some more 'overall' pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witness Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Yes please, everything is about overall look. Glad to hear on the boots, regretfully, that is where I was going next, so you beat me to the punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWolf Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 Sorry, Been busy with real life. Am doing the new photos tonight as I write, and am currently half in my armor. Having issues getting the chest armor to sit right and look even, due to my small chest and big gut.... Be new photos up in a short while while.
