Chef can cook you up some good stuff! ....see what i did there I just got a B-grade Standard scout kit from SC and will be painting mine black as well. Im going to sand it first so the paint has something to grab. I do Fett armor paint commissions which are ABS and i sand em prime em and paint em and never have any issues with it, so your def good to go to paint! I think im gonna go the Satin route myself

You can contact SC directly and ask Jeff. He usually has B grade stuff lying around. But...why post this here in my build thread? Not that im mad or anything lol

OH i like the idea of the matte/satin armor color but was thinking it had to be gloss. Thats definitely something to think about since im painting the armor. I have tons of canvas fabric for the cummerbund. Maybe i could do the pouches in a twill fabric? I may have some that would need to by dyed, or i can get a small amount for that. I like the idea of different fabrics to give it depth. Vst is needed for specialist...got it! I do have the vest for my scout, so i can of course use it for this as well. Im actually going to check the Specialist requirements and see if i can swing all of those details out of the gate

So the armor i got was here for a build and the previous owner decided to abandon the idea of a scout. So no shipping or waiting lol. It is B-grade SC armor. It has some orange peel on it in some spots. It needs a little sanding and to be painted, so now it will be painted black. I may grab the SC helmet from him as well for now, but not sure yet. Gonna grab some black vinyl and a inexpensive pair of timberland style black work boots to make the boots. I have toms of material to make the cummerbund and i happen to have black fabric dye, so i'll probably make the bund first and then dye it. I'll sew it with black thread just to be sure i dont end up with white or grey stiching lol. Shouldnt take long to get this one done Looking forward to being an offical TX! Is the CRL up to date? Just wondering about the vest being optional. Im guessing its because the main reference didnt seem to have it? i mean i have a vest for my regular scout, but if its not needed for the shadow scout, that would be cool...one less layer lol

im going to get a bucket from chef i think, and i can make the boots and cummerbund/pouches myself jumpsuit, and gloves i will swap with my regular scout

Isnt it? im stoked!

Hey folks i was able to aquire B-grade SC scout armor from a garrison mate so i can start a shadow scout! I did want to do the storm commando, and that will still happen, just later on down the road after i get my proper shop up and running as i'll have to make the armor and it will also need to go through the approval process...but for now i can be a standard Shadow scout and be a part of the Special Ops finally! Looking forward to this build!

Yea once i know i can get started, i will def try and get the LMO involved and i know you guys will be a big help! Originally i wanted a standard black biker, but i mean, i may as well make it a little different!

i really think i wanna go the route of the Storm commando, just to make it that much different from my regular Scout. Not sure which version to go with though. Once i have my vac table set up...lord willing over the summer, i can vac my own armor, so i can do the different version(s). Just have to see what other reference is out there and what is clearable and work from there i guess.

I say ATA all the way Pat.
