dr. whodat Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 I've decided on MC armor and have been in contact with them. Just got my tax refund so ordering this weekend hopefully. Just wondering if I should order any extras to the Regular full armor kit? I'm getting a KS helmet, and it seems everyone changes the snout to MC. Is there anything else I should order? (Just for regular scout, not Lancer) Thanks!
Chex Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Well, I can't remember if MC includes a snout with the armor. If he does, for the KS bucket you'll want the snout with the backer plate so make sure you ask for that one. MC pretty much includes everything else, but right now everyone seems to be ordering the TD greeblies from DJ over in the UK (myself included). Now you have to know that completing your build and getting it approved, especially with MC armor, you'll be pretty darn close to Lancer. Why not just go for it right off the bat. Aim high!!!!! We need a Lancer in the BAG.
4505Marcel Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Like Chex said it wont cost any more to build to lancer specs from the off, its just fit and strap sizes really go for it
dr. whodat Posted February 24, 2012 Author Posted February 24, 2012 Knowing my husband (who will be assembling my armor), he'll make sure I make Lancer anyway!
bjsavage7 Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Sounds like you're headed in the right direction! Good lick with your build. Maybe you'll be the next Lancer!
Cyber Scout Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 I just got a new MC kit and yes you do get a snout with it so you don't have to order another one, you will get all you need to complete the hard armour
Grantd1* Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 I went for Lancer straight off the bat with an MC........ooooooh I got close. The main issue with the MC kit is attaching the TD - he offers two large Alice Clips which are great for practicality but not accepted for Lancer. With respect to the snout, I wan't keen on the MC one actually - if you're getting the TD greeblie from DJ get a snout too, IMO his have the best detail
Griffin-X Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 You will need different decals for the KS lid too. The KS stickers are not accurate. Best bet is Trooperbay...imho.
Cyber Scout Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Sorry to correct you Grant but Alice clips are accepted for Lancer (I know i wrote it) as they were used on the oringinals in the movie, yes they are smaller than the ones provided by MC but still alice clips, For lancer we will accept tie wraps or clips but personally i like to see clips on a Lancer scout.

What size alice clips were used in the movie?
Dart Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 What size alice clips were used in the movie? I thought they were only made in one size?
Cyber Scout Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 I'am talking about theses wee fella's i cannot confirm yet theses are the ones but it is something very like this..
automaton Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 I'am talking about theses wee fella's i cannot confirm yet theses are the ones but it is something very like this.. Any pics of how the smaller ones are used to attach to the TD?
Cyber Scout Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Not at the moment thats what we are trying to find out, also it may not be the ones in the photo, but it is something like it, this is one of the great things about the scout cosy even after 2-3 years of research there still things to find out, unlike costumes like the TK as its all there vac formed from the original, we have to find out ourselves that for me is one of the many resons why i love the scout, we think it's pritty much the same as the TK set-up
4505Marcel Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 I still prefer the tie wrap only option for attaching the TD and that is what I would look for in a lancer at this point. Its anouther area that needs alot of reasearch untill we know EXACTLY whats what. Post away with screen grabs in this thread and see if its anouther area we can clear up. Moncals in my eyes are way to big and are too in yor face visually. "I just double checked again as I thought the clips were not in the CRL, and they are not at this time. In the past we have said no to them as we were never sure, but again lets reasearch this with blue ray still and once discussed and nailed down I will put them in."
Heatshock Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 its interesting abt the alice clips as I was gonna do it way back when, but was told it wasnt cannon lol I am upgrading my TD soon, with the new greebs. Might convert to a ALIce clips this time round Nate
Grantd1* Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Me too - if I can get my clips accepted then I'm pretty sure I'm as good as lancer. What about if the clips are painted white to blend with the belt? Ooooops apols for hyjacking thread - I'll start a new one on thios subject........ http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=9330
