Pool-Trooper

Going to be fun making this trooper set. Wonder if we'll see more of it in the future.

Where can I get a flak vest from and how much are they?

thanks! I have to thank the other garrison members for their help in getting it all set up

I'd just like to say that I am now officially a member of the 501st Designation TX-60994

I'll see what I can do, thanks for the help boss edit: I'm also going to work something out with FarAwayCreations in a sort of custom project/armor that people have been giving their thumbs up for in bringing to life...hopefully we can do a bang up job for that as well.

WHat I've been doing is filling the pouches out with my camera, phone, and other stuff, it works wonders at cons because everything is right there. I'm actually thinking about getting a MonCal belt as well so I have a smaller scaled belt that doesn't have the plastic completely wrapping around me. Or do you all think that the current belt meets requirements at the time? Edit: For your viewing pleasure...Dr. Who cross over!

Cummerbund has been dyed to be completely black....Here are the results of it....Helmet still has the original decals as I didn't get them till after I left for the con, and yeah I know...still need to add that holster on, gotta find the leather hole puncher I have cause I can't seem to find it. In comparison to pre-dye state, I do have to admit that while it does have some green still left to it when holding it at eye level, it does now look a lot more like it truly is a shade of black. Thoughts?

I'm going Gloss Black, and gonna paint over it with a brush, instead of spraying it (unless it is a spray), and sand it as well. Course this will be done at the next armor party, since the current GML just wants me to dye my cummerbund black....and because it will be a while before I get them.

Figured some one would say that...

Thought so, now where could I get a properly colored snout piece? Trooperbay as well or would I have to get one from KS, MonCal...or a group like that?

Heh...your's has the exact same coloring as mine! Wait...YOU TOOK MINE! XP

That would be trooperbay.com? And I presume I can remove the old decals via the age old recommendaed scratch remover (can't remember what it;s called) everyone loves?

Would a black marker work for that?

I'll add the holster as soon as possible, gonna send my GML the notes taken here as well, so he know's what you guys are saying too.

SO the cummerbund is technically acceptable then, but it would probably be safer to dye it just a little bit then yeah? Also I presume I definitely need to put that holster on as well.

Velvet black I take it in terms of dye? And the current GML thinks that the armor is fine on me, even if I am personnally going to get a MonCal belt for a better 'fit' so shall we say. That should also help with the belt boxes as well. Currently going to put the cummerbund in the wash just to make sure something didn't bleed into it somehow....but it is safe to safe that the fabric is' black' then yeah?

Oh he's seen it in person, when I took it to an armor party, we both had this inkling that it had a green hue to it but couldn't really say if it truly was or not. What kind of dye should I get for it? Something I could just put into the wash and let it soak or something completely different? What do you recommend for doing so because I honestly do not want to spend another 110 bucks for a cummerbund when there is something a lot faster like dyeing it. Everything else looks good though? GML says everything else is good, but I'm sort of wondering if the belt is still a bit big on me.

So I took my shadow scout armor for a test run at a very small con this weekend to see if it was troopable in (for long periods of time) as well as to break it in. I'm just curious however, since I've had on of my Garrison officers say that my cumberbund is green, but a bunch of other people say it's black, (and finally one other person whose a TX say that it's black but with a shade of green in it). While the cumberbund I had made from the person referred to me by Studio Creations (and she herself says it's black), I'm wondering what you guys think over here, as well as if I need to do any modifications to my Korpserkel helmet. Please note that I will add the holster to the boots when I get the chance to as well, even if they are the Caboots variant. Anyways, here's a photo of where it appears black as well as a photo of where it appears like some sort of very dark green, possibly due to the flash of the camera

I hope I'm coming to the right place with this, but I seriously need help finding a smaller scaled belt for shadow scout set of armor. Originally I was hoping to use Studio Creations, but it turns out that their armor was going to be way too big for me to even wear. This was due to the fact that the main body was rather wide on me, which ironically fit a friend of mine quite easily (said friend ended up buying it from me too). Next I've went with Korpserkel, where while everything else fits perfectly, the belt turns out to be way too big. As in, the entire plastic part of the belt can wrap around my waist big. Now while it is fully capable of being worn at cons and whatnot, the fact of the matter is I plan on shooting for 501st standards with this. So I was wondering if any of you knew where I could possibly buy the main part of the belt (the one that goes on the waist) were it would be a smaller scale/trim. Any help would be considerably appreciated, and I will post pics for reference if it helps.
