Looks right man! Dive in lol!

And she looks awesome @splinter!

Not sure of the current scout jumpsuit makers these days. Mine is from Chef…but he's from the UK. @furiosa who makes jumpsuits in the US that you know? As far as the snout, yes that would be painted solid black then.

Gotcha. The helmet kit I have is nothing like KS. Mine is a Chef bucket. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Snout greeblie? Mine is not painted. Nor the tank topper or biceps. Whichever paint sheen you choose, decals look best when contrasting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a 5 piece helmet kit. No rivets required. Held together w a plastic strip, some e6000, and fiberglass inside...bondo outside to smooth the seam. Ive never built an SC helmet tho. Id be interested to see this video because using rivets on the bucket would not be my recommendation. Have a link? Ill see if I can grab you some pics of mine so you can see no rivets should be needed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not stupid. Ask away! Should only need the rivets if you're going for Level 2 Specialist approval…which I always encourage people to do. That said, 12 rivets in total…2 for each knee (4 total), 2 for the belt, 4 for the boot holster, 1 for the bottom of the tank to attach to back plate, and 1 for the tank topper. No rivets for the helmet. Rivets aren't anyting special…if I remember correctly I just bought a rivet tool w/ the pop rivets of different length included…either at Harbor Freight or Wal-Mart. I'd show you which one for certain but all my stuff is packed in moving boxes. Maybe someone else here has one on hand they can show you.

Greeblies are unpainted…black resin parts. Everything else is painted (including rivets) and then decals (I used gloss to to contrast the satin) applied. Only exception to the paint…is the chest indentation. That was taped off and left gloss to contrast as well. The kit was originally black gloss.

THANKS! Same sole…in regards to the cuts you mean? Yes…well…mine is a tad older so the cuts don't mimic the latest latest update the TB went through (in the front)…but essentially yes…same as TB simply black.

The current crl model is a gloss...but the current crl allows for semi-gloss (which some interpret that sheen as satin). Since the sheens technically are different the specific semantics will be something we address in a very-near crl update proposal (among other things). Cant see your pic on my phone but I’ll check it out. You can see some of satin spray paint here: http://forum.specops501st.com/index.php?/topic/3888-raider-kill-count-78/ The last couple posts on this thread have the new autobody paint job. There are 70-80 Shadow Scouts (at least according to the last census I believe). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Look me up on FB (David Sihombing)…though I do (highly) suggest posting a forum build thread here to get input from the many scout builders here. Maybe in that thread post up some pics of where your kit stands now? Particular paint…not necessarily…initially did a satin spray paint (Krylon plastic something or other…which I've heard is discontinued). Lately, I just had an auto body paint job done w/ satin clear coat. Mmmmmmm.

FELICIDADES!!!

Looks great! Congrats trooper!!!

Not UK Sall but heres an option maybe: https://trooperbay.com/flexible-hand-guards-in-white-black-or-plain Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Painting works! Many people, myself included, paint their kits even if the original plastic is black.

Photobucket used to be the craze till they changed their policies. I currently use Imgur (and their app) w no issue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Are you taking this one to Specialist level like your scout Sall?

Looks good Neal. To answer your question, the old forums did have a cap (which is why people used 3rd party hosting like Imgur)…with the upgrade that may still be the case. @nanotek would know the answer.

It's on the agenda for sure…but a few other things spiked up the priority list…namely, an entire website overhaul courtesy of Mark (nanotek) and the Imperial Army/Mudtrooper CRLs. That said, you (and others) can definitely start chiming in ideas on how to revamp the CRL for L2. Hopefully we can get Mark (toots) in here to guide it along as well.

Awesome! Need more Flametroopers! Welcome.

Thanks for sharing man!!!

Nice Mike! Look forward to what you hear back.

I'm not a paint pro by any means...what was the weather like when you painted those pieces that got messed up?

Get it!!! I have Chef's armor. Me likey mucho! Not sure what you mean by “change” but as long as you build it properly you should have no problem w approval. I will say the helmet build is a bit of a challenge for beginners to costume making. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome Fox! We are doing a tweak of the CRL to align it a tad bit more to the TB. No timeline on it as of yet however as the major reworks of the Imperial Army stuff has priority at the moment.
