Shadow Scout WIP...

[Griffin-X[501st]]

11. Started working on the knee, shoulders, and bicep strapping. I've placed rivets in the knee parts along with the .5" straps for the top portion. I'm working on the 1" straps now.

Wow, it really is starting to come together! Did I happen to see a Phaser in one picture?

Yeah...I have some of "that stuff" around the shop too.

[Master Tej]

That's cool, I won't judge. It's a valid series (although the Empire would hands down destroy the Federation any day).

Word. I dig it, but do not costume as a Star Trek dude. My heart lies with all that is Star Wars...

Thanks, PM sent Shane! I just got my 35mm elastic so I'm working on my strapping now for the biceps and shoulders. Boots, cummerbund, and helmet are next on the list!

[Griffin-X[501st]]

12. Finished up the strapping of the forearms (1" elastic), biceps (35mm elastic), and shoulders (35mm elastic); plus a shot of my SA Biker Scout gloves. These are no longer made by SA and now hard to find.

 

 

[Griffin-X[501st]]

13. A few shots of the flak vest and jumpsuit; these are part of my TB-Biker Scout costume and include the riding patch, 2" elastic straps, and butt flap (real pig suede).

 

 

 

 

 

And a few shots of the collar mod; this is a Redkap coverall that has been modified to be accurate (total cost $40).

 

 

 

[Griffin-X[501st]]

14. Of course, no good scout is complete without a weapon...so many choices!

 

This lot includes a new blaster that will soon be offered by a BSN and now Spec Ops member named Duff. It's an amazing rubber blaster! Also, a Hotshot, a Hyperfirm and a resin cast blaster from Undergroud Productions.

 

 

This is the new "Duff" blaster. Stay tuned for more details on this one. He'll be offering it up soon.

 

 

And...of course my DLT-19 from Sci-Fire. I love this bad boy.

 

 

[Griffin-X[501st]]

Up next...the boots, cummerbund, and helmet. Stay tuned...!

[Master Tej]

Well, I'm looking forward to the next episode!

Hadn't seen that Duff blaster; looks pretty good. He doesn't have an E-11 does he?

[Griffin-X[501st]]

He does have one! Duff is a super cool guy and a new member here on Spec Ops. He's working on a Shadow Scout too. I have not seen the E-11 yet but the demo scout holdout blaster rocks. No seam lines, great quality rubber, and detail.

[drthmrl[TX]]

I would like to get my hands on the hold out blaster. :-)

[trooper[501st]]

The rubber blaster is the way to go Jim, I got mine from TPE and it doesnt break if you drop it ... only bounces

[izzi[TX]]

I can't wait until I actually have cash and can start putting my collection back together again. So many blasters, so little time.

15. The boots...got to have these guys! I got a little anxious and worked on them then started the pics. Enjoy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

Looking pretty nice!

[izzi[TX]]

I want boots!

[trooper[501st]]

I want boots!

 

 

Make some...

[Griffin-X[501st]]

16. The cummerbund. This part is completed and made so the pouches can attach to the chest plate. For my TB scout, the pouches attach directly to the cummerbund. This causes issues and weighs it down. I like this change over and seems to work much better.

 

 

 

 

[Navajo Bro[TX]]

Looking great man, awesome job on the boots

[Griffin-X[501st]]

Thanks guys! All I have left is the helmet at this point. I completed the helmet that came with the kit but opted to go with a newer one from SC. So, once I have that on-hand, I'll finish it up and get this dude approved.
