Krysis

I was speeding threw this on Saturday. Started fitting the belt. Had a troop on Sunday (Jedi) a nice hot day. Now its too cold to paint again!! Blast!

Its a small step, but it is progress!

After marching about the house I realized the chest was digging into my ribs... time to break out the drimmel

did a bit more work tonight, got the straps on the bicep and fore arms, and started fitting the chest.

What we have here is a finished bucket!

Indeed, But I live in South Louisiana so there is never much of a break from it. So I made a paint tent, set it up in a storage room inside of my garage, that should help a bit... I hope lol

Had a nice warm day yesterday, and I took advantage of it. Put some paint down, but it was kinda pretty humid.. so I'm scared to look at it! So assuming it painted well, I will assemble the chest, back, and shoulder bells tonight.

I repainted the elevator bolts, and will re-install them tonight, as well as the "mouth plate" and chin strap. That will finish the helmet. I need to do a little sanding on my chest plate and put another coat of paint on it. Pictures tonight. This cold weather is slowing me down!

most People use gloss or satin.

There will be a small gap you will have to fill. If you want to look at my WIP it might help a little. I just put mine together this weekend. http://forum.specops501st.com/index.php?/topic/2527-krysis-shadow-scout-wip/

Its a SC helm so it came with the decals, are those not as good?

The back of the Helmet needs another coat, there are a few lines from sanding that need to be covered. But I got ahead of my self and painted before I cut the ear holes... oh well I need to second coat it any way lol. I am quite pleased with the face.

Got a bit more done today, Painted the helmet, put a bit more bondo on the tank and smoothed that out. Also un-related to my ShadowScout, I touched up the Paint on the Girl Friend's Bo-Katan helmet. Also my Base with the Rebel Legion made me assistant temple master for our Jedi. So now I'm Busy with all Kinds of projects! Pictures to come in a bit after the paint dries a little.

I actually really enjoy it lol. ... I wonder if making scout and clone gear would count as experience when applying to a Car body shop? That would be great to see a manager's reaction to that. Typical Body shop owner "Do you have any body work experience?" Me "Why yes I do... Here is a picture of my Scout Gear and my Clone Gear" Owner "... I don't think you'll be a good fit here."

Since I had already started filling there was no turning back. So I cleaned it up... It's going to look a lot better once its painted... The back of the Helmet is ready for painting as well.

I just put mine together this weekend and did about the same thing. I just held it together until the gel dried lol.

Out of all the ref pictures I looked at that is the only one I didn't see lol. I can't go back now, but thanks for the In put!

So... I may have made a mistake... I put the tank on the back plate, and having started a clone build the nasty seam there in my mind needed to be filled. This is not correct I have been told. But I'm at the point where its to late to apologize. I can not undo it. How bad is this going to be? Nothing is said about it in the CRL so am I safe? lol

Thanks Chef, but I just put those on for the picture. lol! I'll be making the correct boots. Thanks for checking out the detail.

I didn't want to go with the black lens that came with the helmet. I got a mirrored motor cycle visor to use. Unable to contain myself I had my girlfriend tape the Kit on me. Now the armor is drying, I put a coat of flat black on it to knock of that shine.

Close up of the gloves. They are great, well put together and fit perfect.

Being a 5' 8" guy its not often I get to say this but... I'm a little too tall for the flightsuit. It isn't that bad, I just cant wear anything under it. (Which isn't a bad thing when its hot)

I have my Flight Suit (without modification), and my Gloves.
