Jasmine33 Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Also here is a shoot of my knee does it look like a lancer should? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Nice job...looking really good! Plus, great work on some lancer upgrades. Flight suits can be kind of baggy but sounds like you have a solution. Beware of zippers and pockets showing too. Your shoulder bells could be trimmed back a bit for your fit. Looking really good though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasmine33 Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Thanks!!!! We trimmed off a lot on the shoulder we still have some fixing to do waiting on the cummerbund to come in then we can work on the chest some more i cant wait, we are getting there but slowly. And yes we have lots of pockets and zippers that need to be removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasmine33 Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 Does anyone know where i can get a good helment? Im having a hard time and my bikerscout is almost finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananoPower22 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I have a KS helmet and I'm in love with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chex Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 If you go KS, get the kit, save yourself some money. Also, make sure you order a snout from MC, and you will need to change out the hinge bolt covers as well as the ones KS supplies are inaccurate. And though the stickers they give will work, there are more accurate stickers out there. KS does not supply a chin cup though. So if your goal is for Lancer, you'll need to source that. If you want to spend a little money you can always opt for an MLC, or even the bucket that LoneWolf makes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukscout Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 hi jasmine33, good progress being made on your replica scout costume, only one this is the shoulder bells need to be tweaked/trimmed a little i.e rounded off see screen grabs below: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasmine33 Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 Yes i know about the shoulders we were waiting for the cummerbund to come in to finish up anything else. Today we just picked up the cummerbund there were a few things we had to fix on it but i think it looks good. Pics to follow later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasmine33 Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 Ok I finally got my cummerbund back a few things needed to be changed on it ill post pick eaither tonight or in the morning of it and you guys can tell me what you think of it.

chimei Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 i waited to trim and round off my shoulder bells until my bund was done too. then i set the chest/back armor. once that was done, i trimmed it off keeping in mind that the bell ends at the spot where the chest armor "swoops" back under the arm. i've noticed many scouts with longer bells, so at first i thought mine were too short. but comparing them to the screen caps all over the boards, it's where they need to be. as so many people have said before - measure twice (or more), cut once. it's coming along really well...nice job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
