I started the sponge paint job light-to-dark, and hopefully can wrap it up towards the end of the week. The reference photos are extremely helpful but vary in darkness. I'm going for more of a light-see-the-khaki-underneath look based on the first reference photo.

Thanks! Today I painted the base coat and picked up the fabric dyes, paints, and natural looking sponges. I'm very excited to keep charging ahead!

Aloha Spec Ops, I'm Luke, one of the Event Coordinators for the Pacific Outpost in Hawaii. I've done 30 troops in my Scout and decided to retire it after my ANH Vader got approved since it started to yellow due to the Hawaii sun. I was considering turning it into a shadow scout but this build looks really cool so I wanted to give it a try. I'll basically be painting & dyeing my Scout kit to match the proposed CRL. I think the boots will be the most work but still shouldn't be that bad. I'm planning to rattle can khaki and then sponge on green and the darker colors, then softly sand to show the white under on a few high points. I'll need to dye the straps, cod, boxes, and re-add the details.
