Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Well, the first place to start is by getting an armor kit. Send me a PM and I can get you some contacts. Also, read through the build threads in the forum here. That will give you an idea of whats involved and the process other scouts went through. Link to comment
martinokenobi[501st] Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 Thanks!!! PM sent! Link to comment
ELP[501st] Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Welcome and any questions while building don't forget to ask! Link to comment
martinokenobi[501st] Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 Welcome and any questions while building don't forget to ask! Thanks!! I've sent a PM to Steve (Detachment Web Master) for the armor kit, as he'll answer I'll charge my credit card and start my new adventure!! Link to comment
martinokenobi[501st] Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 Hey guys!! I have some questions about the costume. Can you help me? As recomanded, in a while I'll buy the SC armor: 640 USD shipping to Europe included. I'd like to know more about other parts, like: GLOVES: these one are ok? (http://www.ebikerleather.com/_e/Motorcycle_Riding_Gloves/product/BGL2065/Full_finger_gloves.htm) . If not, suggestions? BLACK JUMPSUIT: don't know where to find it in Europe. There's a military shop in the US, but he doesn't ship outside North America. Are there some Shadow Scout from europe, so maybe I can ask them? CUMMERBUNDS AND POUCHES: actually I have no idea where to start... thanks guys, for any kind of suggestion, help or advice!!! M Link to comment

M You could buy it and have it shipped to a fellow trooper in the US (I would be willing to do this). Then you can just Paypal me the shipping to forward it on to you. Link to comment

Griffin-X[501st] Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 For my TB Biker Scout costume...I wear this one from Red Kap. It has 4 pockets that can easily be removed and has no visible zippers. It cost me $25.00 US. http://www.redkap.com/view/twill-action-back-coverall/358282 Link to comment

Yes, I could do this for you. You would have to make the purchase and have it shipped to me. I would then turn it around and ship it USPS out to you. PM if you want to do this and I can give you my address. Link to comment

Chef[501st] Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Welcome buddy. They are basically a Scout but in Black. Gloves, get the Sith Armour ones, they are just superb and really good for the price. Here's an eBay link (UK one, sorry) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LEATHER-GLOVES-LIKEN-BIKER-SCOUT-BIKERSCOUT-SMALL-/230689184132?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35b6259984 They do all sizes, so just contact them. They are so good, I've used them on my bike with considerable success! Boots, These can be made nice and easily by using the Biker Scout boot tutorial. Just remember to do them in Black! I've just finished a set for another UKG Spec Ops Trooper. Jumpsuit. You can use a boiler type suit, which is nice and cheap, but a really good one is the OMP Mechanic's suit. But that's about £50. It will need the knee pads unstitching and the flaps and straps adding to it. Flak Vest, Cummerbund and Pouches can be made (if you're handy), but there are plenty of people out there that can make them for you at a reasonable cost. Good luck with the build. I'm just updating my own armour to a nicer set. I'll post pictures when I get it completed. Link to comment

I really don't know where to get them (I'm not good at tailoring), if someone else too has suggestions for finding Cummerbund and Pouches please PM me, I'm in the total shadow (offcourse, I want to be a shadow scout! ) Link to comment
