Blackwatch

hi Ruby While the Aldhani troopers really are soft and comfortable working through a maker makes it expensive. Plus there really arent any patterns for this since its a show costume. The fabric is dyed denim, and from all the WIPS you can see that everyones shade is abit off because of how the dye works. And which denim is used to make it. in my case I always had to work a lot of overtime and save for a long time to get the stuff I wanted. Some of my builds took a LONG time! By the way have you sourced your boots yet? thats another item that can get very spendy. Please keep us up to date!

Yes, Ill take care of that tonight and get pics. I got in it, wore it a bit and got out and left the house. It felt good. I spoke with Jim last night and he said he does not wash the suits/fabric so it "might" shrink some and Im ok with that. I specifically asked for no waistband elastic so we do not run into the scrunching issue we have on the back of lighter weigth suits , where we see the fabric scrunched together. Further research questions: Tac Vest The L2 spec is for a leather strap for the vest and I have that big bag of cowhide scraps. I have smooth and textured. Looking at our CRL research this appears textured to me, so I plan to use the textured leather for the straps. I will need to join some of them together to make the straps and the overstrap but six dollars for a bag of scraps is a lot better than 60 plus dollars for a hide that might or might not work. Commpad I have the file printed out out for the commad, but to be honest that file is a pain to asssemble and ive had them crack in half becase of how its designed. Im strongly considering modding one of my other Commpads. I print them all the time and its not THAT different however the size is specified in the CRL so I would just need to adjust that.

Flightsuit is from Jim Tripon in the Phillipines. i got a few minutes to try it on and run around the house before I had to leave. Its heavier than the Wampa Wear suit, which is a lighter weight canvas. Id love to get some feedback on the appearance of the suit since I am looking to go to L2 Specialist approval. I know its missing the padded shoulders, Ill have to get me some and velcro them in. The fabric IS heavier, and I dont feel that the material wrinkles/ scrunches nearly as bad as the WampaWear suit. I believe the window for the commpad is large. It is supposed to show the entire commpad through the window, unlike most TIE pilots where part of the commpad is typically hidden. Feedback welcome!

upate the DLT 19 is printed and Im working it over. im not going to flood the topic with pics, but its a DLT19X, nothing we havent seen before. Helmet and armor are still sitting in my box ready to go. I got a 3 pound bag of leather last night at HL so I can make the real leather straps for L2 approval. I got this big bag of mostly black leather thats perfect for the tac rig straps, for the princely sum of 6 ducats.

OK!!! SO!!! this weekend I was struggling with my X wing o2 hose popping off my belt. its been an ongoing issue. Now, when I wrote the CRL i had to concede that the whole costume is built using game magic and there are no visible fasteners. Magnets are the issue, but HOW STRONG? Well I was handed someting Im not familiar with. A hard drive magnet. WHOA!!! This is NOT your typical NDBM magnet you buy online. I had trouble getting my hose back off. So, i now am the proud owner of a pair of hard drive magnets and THAT will hold the pouch up on my shoulder.

Im still looking. I have a set on my Engineer and they have an oiler so Im gonna rob Peter to pay Del. I *may* order this set and just dye the thing to get rid of the white threads. https://www.amazon.com/WARCRAFT-EXPORTS-WWII-GERMAN-MP38-MP40-MAGAZINE-POUCH-SET-Brown-Sling/dp/B07GX33FTG

Regarding that Flyee vest it is not necesarily approved as is. There was HEAVY discussion on the vest when we wrote the CRL , so it was decided that the Flyee will not be used. Its written into the CRL as the last line on Basic Approval. I am making my own from scratch so I know it fits me. If you are able to modify it accordingly, I would get with your local GML prior to starting that work to see if they will approve it since its called out in the CRL to be avoided.

Agreed! Ive been doing this since 2008 and I have a LOT of helmets. Different types that wear differently. I have used the second type of pads that have the pieces joined together. black Catarpillar knee pads hot glued into the helmet hard hat suspension system with a snap back (not the knob type adjustment) bump caps but down to fit inside a helmet and velcroed in the traditional foam cloverleaf hth

Nichole im building my Del as well but im the opposte Im bigger than most. So Im going to be watching your progress. I wrote the CRL so Id say Im familar. Keep in mind that the scout pouches used are not normal sized. Everything about these game costumes is SMALL .the helmet I got from Pilobay is his new mold and it tears my ears off and my eyelashes touch the lenses. The armor, belt, boxes, drop box, all of it is custom for the game. As so are the pouches: If it werer me, I would make smaller pouches based on your frame. I wrote this specifically for people who are smaller than others. These sizes are maximums, Id be going smaller than that. Ive made a LOT of pouches, they arent bad once you make the first one and figure out how to sew them inside out. Attend!- Scout Style Pouches Two "scout" style pouches are made of black matte canvas or canvas-like material. The "scout" style pouches are filled to appear full and worn at the back of the belt. The pouches will leave sufficient room for the Thermal Detonator mounted between them. Pouches may be hung from the tactical vest waist strap, or from the over-belt strap, at the wearers choice. Pouches are a maximum of 6" tall x 5" wide x 2" deep (152mm tall x 127mm wide and 51mm deep). The lower edge of the flap will not be wider than 2.5" (63mm). Pouches are proportional to the size of the wearer and match in-game references. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Scout style pouches match in game references. Bottom edge of the pouch flap is less than half the overall width of the pouch. Pouch outer flap has a stitch set back 5/16" (8mm) from the edge.

some work before the freeze sets in. I got my pipes set and sanded the hell out of this print and welded the parts of the forward scope assmbly together. Its at the final putty round now, heavy application to make it "rounder". February Update:

Theres lots of files out there. cults, thingverse etc

DLT 19 printing is in progress on my bambu printer and I just ordered a E11 holster from Darmans Props

a regular scout belt is approvable at the l1 level for basic approval per the crl There are some differences in the overbelt especially those end boxes. And the whole thing is overall smaller than a regular scout i have the gameplay pulled up on youtube right now watching it. Over Belt The Over Belt consists of 5 gloss black boxes made of ABS or similar plastic, mounted to a leather or leather like waist strap which closes under the thermal detonator. The waist strap is approximately 1.5" (40mm) wide. The over belt is worn around the under belt, so that the top third of the under belt shows above the over-belt. There are special-shaped boxes on left and right of the 3 central boxes which are horizontal in position as seen in reference photos. A total of 8 rivets are present with 2 rivets mounted vertically on the left and right at the edge of the special-shaped boxes. Hanging from the right side of the belt is a hip box made out of hard material. This is connected to the belt by 1.5" (40mm) wide black leather or leather-like straps. The strap is and as long as necessary to allow the box to hang on the wearers right hip. For basic L1 approval a standard Scout style hip box may be approved. The strap is attached to the front of the over-belt through a slot on the right side of the central box. The back end of the strap goes behind the under-belt, to the left side of the thermal detonator. The hip box strap has 1.5" (40mm) quick release buckles on the front and back. Each buckle is attached at the mid point of the strap.

Im doiing mine this weekend, finished off printing Kailees TL50 for her Iden now Im onto Dels DLT. I think I might have the same files, the scope is a LOT of sanding to make it round. The file seemed low-poly. Anyway, good thing I rpinted with like 4 walls so I can burn through walls to make it round. Ill post m own work as I go on my own topic.

hey Ty I downloaded and printed a TL50 for my freind Kaylee she has an Iden and Ill have my Del soon. Im printing my DLT19 now. I have it all printed out, but Im not sure if this is your model or not. It came with a bunch of options including a wood stock remix.

im really interested to see how the belt prints out. I need to print a regular scout belt for my shadow and Im using mr poopys files, but i havnet run it yet. Im curoius if it will be flexible at all.

good old telephone cord

good morning and welcome! yes, Gerald is correct. Just becase Shep studios made the originals for ANH '77 does not mean its the "most accurate" in 2025. Check out the suppliers list, and keep us up to date on your progress.

yeah they want a lot that is for sure

i had printed a bunch of those zip tie holders for my own scout project, so this affirms what I was planning. Smart idea!

Im not a Wier, and I may be wrong, so we need der experten in on this, but it may refer to the domed detail part, not the tank topper itself. Looking at our CRL Gallery which is supposed to be set to L2 the tank topper is in place. i see the zip ancor riveted in, where would you put the other for the elastic?

wow, had no idea Spat was making this. Considering webbing is like 40 cents per foot and triglides are a couple of bucks, 45 plus shipping handling and wait time is pretty hefty for a project that will not take more than ten minutes to make. This is for my Engineer but otherwise its indentical. I wrote both CRLs and I have all three versions of the Army trooper from the comics, this is the simplest part of the entire costume.

Mike I ran it on the Bambu last night in high speed PLA+. Two seconds of sanding, two coats of primer and a coat of paitn and it will be perfect! Thank you for sharing this with the community!!!

I'll share the first new updated print off of the Del buckle STL. Two coats of primer and some paint and this will be ready to mount. I didnt get a pic of the four square openings on the bottom but they are square and look correct per the game model. You can link back to the file Mike Ford made here
