GHOST

Are you done with your boots yet or are you still working on them? If you need any help with the upper please contact me. I can tell you how to do this right the first time and make them fit you right.

I can tell you guys that we have done half the scouts in legion for this mod. My girlfriend is a seamstress and uses real leather suede for both parts. The leg straps along with the inside leg suede helps keep you from getting that God awful looking balloon look in your legs. I just looked at me shadow scout figures and there is lines there for the inside suede and the straps if you wanna base it off that? If anyone needs this mod done please feel free to contact Ladyghost over on the Legion boards or on her Facebook page here - http://www.facebook.com/denise.cowles She might be joining the ranks here soon not sure yet.

I did the velcro thing as well on both my scouts, did the wrap over the shoulders to hide the seems. I used some sticky velcro on the front of the chest inside and sewed some on the to my vest to hold it in place so I don't have the slide up affect and choke me while trooping. Also did this on my belt as well, it never moves on me.

I hear you dude, my girlfriend and I were the GML/GWL for our Garrison and had to do the same thing. I know the feeling. I hope you can find some shadow scouts with flashing soon, it would be cool to see.

Yeah man, i know what you mean. Lots of grease to make them look good, but in the end they do look good.

Hey guys, MC has the BEST stuff out there and SC is the next BEST thing out there. If your looking to save money SC is the way to go. Buy the white armor, paint the underside flat black and then paint the top side with automotive black vinyl spray paint. You DO NOT have to sand or prime before using this paint. Plus it gives with the armor it will not flake or chip off. Another up side to this paint is it drys fast and gives a glossy look to it. The other glossy black enamel paints will take for every to dry and go from wet to sticky till it dries 100%. This stuff will not do that, it dries fast. If you get finer prints on your armor when it dries use a soft cloth to wipe them off no polish is needed. You can pick it up at any auto store. Helmet - SC yes it will have a seem up the back and you will have to do some bondo work to get rid of it. I myself like the rubies helmets once I have done all the mods to it. you can't tell it's a rubies at all. I get asked who made my helmet's all the time and when I say it's a rubies people freak out. now it takes a whole lot of time and skill to heavily mod one of these puppy's but in the end they look great and the visor goes up all the way unlike the fiber glass MLC buckets. Much better detail then the ABS helmet's and cheaper then both of them as well. Pouches Black cloth works well and is cheap but I really like real leather pouches over the cloth ones. Real leather in the saddle area and real leather for the rear end flap(mad flap) looks great to, they really sell the costume. The leg straps on help a great deal to hold in the balloon look of the flight suit just like on the biker scout outfit. Boots I made them from white and black marine vinyl using goop as my glue. I found that the black marine vinyl was harder to work with, when I did my last 2 sets of black scout boots. I switched from the shinny vinyl to a dull black vinyl and it seamed to work better plus the boots looked better to me. I aslo painted my holster flat black to match my boots. Looks really good this way. Other Mod and stuff Do what ever you feel looks good to you and you like, that's what costuming is all about having fun.

Where are you using rivets on your armor? The only place I used them is on my belt. I used ABS glue over the shoulders with a small strip of ABS underneath. I then did the wrap to cover the seam with real black leather and a little padding inside to hide the seam even more. If you or anyone else has any question at all about SC armor please feel free to PM me. I have put at least 6 sets of they're armor together and I'm good friends with them.

I went with the gray because you can't tell if there are stickers there or not with the black and I like the gray better. I also did custom job on my helmet as you can see with the flashing on it. I don't care if it's not canon, they were never in the movies any way so does not matter. Plus mine is approved already any way. EU means go for what ever you like to do in my book. If it's not in the movie do what ever you feel looks good to you then. Just my 2cents nothing more.

No, i don't sorry Izzi they are just gray. But a good gray, I can scan them and up load a picture for you a long with a picture of my bucket so you can see.

Oh I forgot to tell you also, if you have any question about making boots PM me I have made over 60 pairs of scout boots white and black(shinny and dull).

I see you went with SC armor. Nice. If you wanna have it look even more black and glossy I would use automotive spray paint made for vinyl. It drys fast and gives when the armor bends. It will give your armor a HIGH gloss shine. I used it on mine it looks great. I have the same armor as I know Jeff pretty good. You have his helmet, if you wanna get rid of the seem up the back you'll have to do some bondo work to it. If you need stickers for you helmet I have some here for the shadow scout helmet, for 15$ mailed. Its a complete set for the helmet. I do not have gray pin stripping for the tank, its hard to find. Good luke with the build, any questions feel free to PM me or email me Treedodger1138@yahoo.com
