wut wut! thx!

yea it's blacked out and says I cannot start a new topic (do i need permissions granted to post in that forum?).

Triple Zero is an awesome character too...love him in the comics. Just need to hook you up w/ BT-1 (spring loaded dome armament and all lol) for mass destruction.

Ready to do the Specialist approval process I think. Went to the forum though and it won't let me start a new topic. Any help on that? Thanks!!!

GOOD LUCK! And you're in Florida!

I'm already done and approved so yea lol. Unless I need to be a Specialist for that...I still haven't put up pics for that (trying to start that today). Let me know! I'm crazy proud to finally be apart of this

Sooooo....it's technically soft lol. I'm trying to see if there's a way to snag a SpecOps patch/stickers (*makes it rain dollar bills*). Holler atcher boyeeee w/ a PM if u can point me in the right path! THANKS!

Hey Amber! We met at the AP in Tampa! Just saying hey and good luck! These guys rock and can guide you. Ask away!!!

Back to work??? I have an Anovos TK kit sitting in the corner...but the thought of trimming and sanding makes me want to curl into a whimpering ball in the corner. Got the Specialist recs...I will start a thread there this week and take more pics of the "blue" requirements and post. Thx again! P.S. Are there SpecOps badges (main logo) or anything like that to b had?

APPROVED!!! TX-99924 reporting for duty! GRACIAS PEEPS!!!

Ah yes...I wasn't sure which way those biceps went. Thanks! How do you do Specialist submission? I already submitted to the Florida GML for approval today...let him know about Specialist, but he said that wasn't on him. Do I need to submit to someone else?

I think I did this as well as I could. What do you think? Thanks for all your input and advice! You all have been amazing!!! Hope I haven't been too annoying.

Okiedokie. Whew. Now...if I did insert a fabric inside the bucket to cover the hole would that still be ok for specialist? I think the bucket is painted...going to post a pic on Saturday after the paint has cured a bit and I've glued the snout greeblie on and the lens. Broke a visor bolt already but I have one at least to hold it all in place for now. I had to order replacement decals as well from Trooperbay which I can put on as well: https://trooperbay.com/sw-shadow-scout-helmet-decals.html Would you be able to tell me where each of those goes though? I know where the 2 trapezoids go and the "C" logo. Do I use all the long stripes on the back? Not sure where the "fishhook"? Am I supposed to use BOTH of the nose bridge decalsn and both of the 3 bar decals or just one...whichever fits the bucket best in proportion? Is that snout decal even necessary or is that for somewhere else? THANKS!

Wait TIMEOUT lol!!! So that's correct then? I should leave it open though or glue a fabric on the inside of the bucket to cover that (not mesh)?

I actually cut out the earhole. Sigh...

ARGH!!! I misinterpreted the CRL then "properly shaped earholes" as they had to be properly shaped/trimmed. So now I have holes. Ugh...did I just screw up the specialist requirement? Or can fabric there still work as long as it's not mesh per the crl?

should have a bucket pic this week...i totally forgot the earholes though so need to go back and cut em out. does the type of black fabric placed there matter or can it be whatever so long as it's black?

Why would people try to take it off? Is that common? Sheesh lol. I'm going to try just rolling with the clips...they seem pretty secure...if anything, I'll add velcro to the back and tube if it turns out to be a problem. Thanks!

Sweet...thx Chef...got the clips curved and riveted. Is that the only way I should be connecting this TD to the belt...the clips? It should be removeable that way on and off by just sliding the clips? Just making sure there's nothing else (the Panda tutorial w/ all the metal and magnets is too much for me) I should do before I get my hopes up and call it a day on all of the body work and move on to completing the helmet lol.

Bucket aside...almost done with belt...hopefully everything but the TD box sewed and put together. How to curve and attach those clips? Bund...attaching the pouches...can the flap be placed over the top of the bund and sewed or does it need to be velcroed to the front (w/ velcro sewed to the bund)?

Yes...makes sense. Not confident I can pull it off lol but the arrows and measures help give me an idea of what to look for. No gaps in the corners...25-35mm gap from brim of visor to faceplate...flush from plate to bucket at the bottom. That WARNING sign on the last pic...quite fitting hahaha.
