You guys are taking care of a soon to be Florida Garrison trooper right? *Eyeballs Jim and Rob*

I have SC, and my t-bits face forward. I seriously want to upgrade to MC armor though. Hell, maybe upgrade my suit too. It'd have to be when I have a lot of extra money and no other costumes I'd want to do. I'm gonna bug Andi to keep bugging you about Lancer lol.

Ya know, makes me wonder why you aren't a Lancer yet. Get on it, Rob!!!

Want!

Looks good to me. Be hard to nitpick that for Lancer even. You have everything correct, the fit is good. Other then adjusting the pouches to look more even...what paint did you use, flat or satin? Love the stealthiness of it. One of these days I'll do one of these.

I'd have issues with the seam line on the back of the helmet. Makes it look unfinished. Pouches need work. Should be scaled down if they're too big. They ideally should should be placed on the edge of the ribs on the cummerbund, so that you can see all 6 ribs. Also throw some foam in them. Nice looking build though, the suit is a good fit. Sorry if I seem picky, it's the scout armorer coming out in me.

Your fixes look great. First thing I thought was man, that's way too dirty. Looks way better, and that helmet is just BOSS. When I get a whole lot of free time, this is a costume I would love to tackle. So if I do, expect a lot of PMs from me lol.

I would honestly go with cotton webbing for the drop boxes. Cotton looks so much better then nylon webbing.

Jonah, def go with with a UA balaclava when you get the chance. They work so much better. I need to hurry up and just bite the bullet and order my armor already. If you need any tips for building it, PM me over on the FLG boards.

You could always hit up Witness over at BSN for boots.

About time you finish this. I would scale down those pouches a little though. Also, you really only want them to be about 2 inches thick. They just look overall big to me.

Move your pouches in more. Hard to tell if you have 6, or 7 vertical stitches on your bund. You should have 7, creating 6 vertical ribs. You don't have to move them in more, that's just the Lancer in me coming out. Def heat up those shoulder tabs and bend them down more..they're up way to high, as Iz pointed out. Your TD is on upside down. Circle should be on the right...well your left, but our right as we look at the pic. Nice job on the boots, and an even better job modding the Rubies bucket. Ugh though, HATE the Atin boot holster. If you ever get the chance I would contact SC or MC about replacing that when you get the time. Nice build. As soon as I finish my animated ARC, this is next on my list, though it was 2nd but since SC wasn't pulling kits in black, I spent the money elsewhere. Then as soon as I do..BAM...pulling kits in black again. :/

Ugh...kina ugly. I really wish the artists drawing a SW comic would use a little more detail when drawing armor. So basic. Where's Brian Ching when ya need him?

OOooo KS is pulling in black again...have to find a way to scrounge up for a kit.

SC is pulling black abs again? ^%$#%$# Must find a way to get a set...

Just looking forward to seeing how the paint job turned out. If it's that good and wears well, maybe I'll do that once my animated ARC is done. If ya need any help to maybe get it up to Lancer specs which I think would get you specialist, lemme know.

No one is pulling black ABS scout buckets right now, which sucks, which is why I put mine on hold for now. I think your armor is Atin, if you were wondering. MLC does a great fiberglass bucket, and as was said, he can be found on bikerscout.net. You can have him paint it, or you can paint it yourself. Anything else, you're pretty much going to be painting yourself. Remember, you can also join over there for any scout related questions, as the armor is the same, just a different color.

As far as I know, MC is the only one putting out a quality shadow scout in black ABS right now. SC needs to hurry up and find a new supplier.

Yeah they both have SC. I've even been seeing if I could find black abs for cheap lol...see if I can buy it and just have it sent up to SC. Meh..who knows.

Thought about starting on it slowly and just work it up over time. I really don't want to get white armor and paint it. Too much of a hassle to keep it nice and glossy. Ugh...decisions decisions. If SC was still pulling black, it would be a no brainer. I'd try MC but I don't know how well MC would fit a 6'2" frame. Still have plans in the future to do an Evo as well...need to get my hands on a cheap TK kit to play with...maybe an ATA kit. I know I could get one cheap...we shall see.

Atin is just not a good looking armor IMO..it's inaccurate. I think Crazas said his wife had it, and no disrespect...I just don't like it. It's not accurate enough to qualify for Lancer over at BSN. What I think I'll do for now, until SC starts pulling black armor again is to move on to another costume. Either a Shadow clone or one of the new animated ARC troopers.

Boots aren't that hard, Bryan. Troy could help you out on those, Timmy might be able to help sew the soft parts and do the suit mods.

Ahhhh personally, his armor is prolly the cheapest to get...but I would go with SC when he starts pulling again, or MC.

Still have yet to finish these up. Man, I procrastinate too much. If I had armor, that would be a diff story, but it looks like SC isn't pulling any due to black ABS costing too much atm. Same for KS for the bucket. So looks like MLC for the bucket...and I'd hate to spend all that money on MC armor and wait 3-4 months. Izzi....sell me your armor!

Didn't know AM made scout armor...and KS isn't very accurate for armor either.
