  1. I use Imgur which is free and I can hide my pics, then share with who I choose. Congrats my friend!!! This inspires me to get back to mine.
  2. Making progress and I need to greatly update my pics. I just realized, I do not have the back clips for the TD. Where does everyone get them from? Thanks Tom
  3. I am making my own suit, but it looks like the WW suit does not have any suede on it. The Biker TB suit is identical to the TX Scout suit from what I have seen so far. Thanks Tom
  4. Also I see you got extra Bells, not sure what deal that way, but that is interesting. Depending on what level you want to go to, you will need to order stickers for the bucket and possibly replace the bolts for the side of the bucket. Tom
  5. Hi there!!! I am also working on a WTF kit, along with @CrookKnight, let me know how I can help. Just working out the last bit of armor, then building all my soft goods in hopes to make an event at the end of the month. Also their are some videos on the WTF FB page to help guide the bucket and back build. Gets lots of sandpaper, primer and Canyon Black paint, then prepare to san prime paint, sand, paint and enjoy it!!!!! The trimming is not to bad, just take your time and have lots of fresh blades handy for your knife you use to cut with. Tom TS/DZ 62609
  6. Working on my build and I did the same as nanotek above. Lots of sanding prime, sand paint, sand paint again.
  7. Hey all!!! Been a while but I moved from IL to NC and been grinding on my Scout lately. Hoping to somehow complete it in like 2 weeks!!! Big question, Clear coat? what brand, I used the Satin Canyon Black and I want to protect it, also did you put all the greeblies on first, build the bucket, etc, then clear coat. Or clear coat the raw painted, then assemble everything. Thanks again to all who posted a build thread, or helped with advice on my thread. The big challenge is the boots and making the vest etc next. Thankfully wife and I make a great team of seamstresses. Tom TS/DZ 62609
  8. I am also building a WTF kit and Walt has some videos on Facebook now of assembly of a scout kit. Good reference to get started along with Crookknight as well.
  9. @Rowen I will see if I can get the videos grouped and shared here. I have a folder I saved all my Scout videos in from Walt's Build processes. Thanks Tom
  10. That looks good. Walt did a video on the tank trimming and notching. I think I have some pics on my imgur of my back and tank, if not I will take some. I am slowly trimming it to have no gaps between. you are also correct on the single river and angled plastic or whatever material you use for the top half.
  11. @Raider you said concave, but when I look at the CRL for Level 2, there is nothing about the bolts being concave. just 22mm. Can you verify this for me?
  12. The WTF bucket is almost to tight on my head. I do not know about the others. I do have a rather large head though and I still fit the bucket.
  13. so sounds like maybe a little more bondo and then sand, primer, sand fill primer, sand, primer, oh did I say sand some more... Thanks. At least I know I am going in the right direction.
  14. Been working on the bucket. Any ideas on best things to finish those last gaps. The bondo feels like it just wants to crack and I have E6000 with some ABS on the inside seams to keep it. Just not certain on what else I can do to ensure the cracking does not happen and that the bucket will hold up. I am hoping to get to some priming on it soon but want it to be solid before I do that. Prep work is so worth it to make it right. Bucket update pics are the bottom 2 added. https://imgur.com/a/ajuO5Ez
