Hey all. I'm currently working on my shadow scout costume and had a couple small detail questions. My fiancee is a TB and is going for lancer status. When he was working on his boots he had to do the cut out vents on the boot holster. I cant find anything in the shadow crl about this as a requirement for specialist. Is it required? Also Ive seen in some pictures the shadow scouts have a red bar on the left shoulder bell. Is this a rank indicator or specialist bar (flametrooper, rocket, etc)?

Hey there, Imperial Boots will be starting to offer shadow scout boots starting in may. I only have my boots/gloves to order but figured I would wait until they come out to make it a bit easier on myself.
