Well done. Looking awesome.

PS I removed my back tank for Motorcoaster.

The General's first outing couldn't have been better. May the 4th be with you and Revenge of the 5th at Dreamworld on the Gold Coast. AND on the 4th I had my own contingent of Scout troopers to help hunt down rebel scum and run down ewoks, using a local transport much like the speeder bikes.

Woohoo! Approved.

Well I had to alter the colour of the webbing on the bandoliers as they didn't match the boxes. and take some more detailed shots of the helmet and boots. Just awaiting approval now. As for the side boxes, that's kinda a result of me putting on some weight since this was approved as a Shadow Scout. And as for the seem at the back of the helmet. the goal there is to just get a new Black SC helmet. As their new molds are much better.

Completed and awaiting approval.

I'll be doing the same. http://www.501st.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=74780&start=0

Bandoliers 90% finished. General Wier upgrade almost complete. Also, looking at the Reference pics, mainly of the figurine, I notice that there is no specific methode by which the Bandoleers attach at the back. Where as the CRL pics show a Side Locking Clip. However the text in the CRL states no specific method, just that it attaches at the back. Therefore I have concluded to myself, that Velcro will suffice, and in fact be closer to the original source materials and reference pics. Does anyone disagree with this conclusion?

I was just thinking of being a bastard and asking how this was going, the next time I saw you. But then yeah, as I remember, you are working on this with Mark.

I think i recall, I was came across the Masks on Mando Mercs. Basically the face was Hard Armour, and the rest of the helmet was Soft Armour. They have the Neo-Crusader as a class of Mando.

hmmmmmm. *thinks about the fact, the LMO is a Redback*

There is a video somewhere too. Last year one of the guys had a camera attached to his visor.

WHILE THIS HAS GONE QUIET IT HASN'T BEEN FORGOTTEN. Now that I have disable the caps lock on my computer, I'll stop shouting. also, I'm just too lazy to edit that first line. Anyhow, as I said, this has not been forgotten. I have just commissioned Woodchuck to create for me a set of Ammo Belts as seen on the 501st forums. http://www.501st.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=74780 Hopefully I should be able to get this finished for our largest troop in Queensland, Dreamworld Star Wars weekend. And lead my own team of Scouts on the Motorcoaster.

Thanks for the help Toddo, got my visor in the mail today and wasted no time with cutting it out and fitting with my helmet. Couple of photo test, one with flash one without. Works great. Darth Emphatic, I'll still be looking at that link you posted for a mando helmet visor if I can't find anything else, as this proved a little small for my mando helmet. All I would have left is the bandoleers.... if it wasn't for that fact that I broke my boot holster just recently . It's fixable but I may need to dismantle and rebuild my boots (both to keep them even) in order to fix it.

Not only is the seller in Australia, it's in my city. I feel like such the biggest herp derp right now.

Ah footy visors. never thought to look at them.

Ah thanks. I'll have to order some in the next week or so when I have more money. Coloured tinting also tends not to exist in Australia. I have a mirror Tint already so this will be great.

Haha, awesome to hear. I guess then when i submit this I'll try for a helmet off version then. Hit the first bump, transparent Red flexible plastic seems to be difficult to come by here in Australia.

First and easy part is done. Although the hard part was actually wrapping up the entire belt.

Well this seems a familiar place, I haven't been here in a long time. How are we all? I thought I would make a post with a new beginning, and what better than an upgrade to the costume that brought me to the Spec Ops in the first place. I've been looking at this for a very long time now. Kinda since before I even did the Shadow Scout. And it's time I finally knuckled down and got it done. Cause all I really gotta do is paint my belt, paint or cast some red T-bits (I have a Vader's Tie Fighter model I can use ), change my lens and make my bandoleers. I had a quick look at TX2399's build thread and liked the look of his Lego pieces and has given me the idea to do the same for when making the molds. I plan to cast mine, not sure just yet what material I'll be casting them out of, preferably something with a little flexibility. The hard part is knowing the detail of the individual boxes and the dimensions. If anyone can help with this, it would be much appreciated. I will be studying the reference pics though. SO, just one last look at the Shadow Scout, before it gets a promotion. An extra query, can this be a helmet off costume also??? Cause I do have a habit of shaving my head and removing my beard, due to a certain Sith Lord costume I have been working on for 2 years

Hey Guys, long time since I was last here. Was just wondering what is the swamp trooper listed in the CRL. seems to be the same or similar to a Shadow Scout. http://www.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TX_swamptrooper

Dito. would look great to have 1 or 2 for Redback garrison. And extremely awesome if everyone did one.

Yes we had a good laugh at this at my AP a couple of weeks ago when Tachyon, showed us the blue one. Who is currently building the first accurate Aqua Trooper. So DON'T buy this.

Go for the pouch. it's what I do, just run the wire out from behind the pouch straight up under my chest plate, through the neck seal and under my balaclaver.

This is true. Mine is approved without either patch. I do intened however to install the patches as we have the speacilist program in the build and I also happen to be looking at going lancer with a Biker Scout uniform.
