JDC[501st] Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 So a few years back I bought this scout trooper kit to make for my wife. We got real close to having it approved, then they went and totally changed the CRL on us...(thanks Blu-Ray). So now she has this unfinished kit and most likely will never spend the extra cash for the special under suit, so it currently is not being used at all. Sooo... My thought is that I would paint it black and join you fine people. Please take a look over the pieces I have and let me know what you think. If it only involves painting it black, getting a flight suit big enough for myself, getting new black soft parts, and a new pair of black boots... then I am down. Here is the link to the pieces that I have http://s1104.photobu...X%20scout%20WIP Thanks for all of your help Link to comment

JDC[501st] Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 The wife not interested in a shadoe scout? You have boots already? The wife actually has never even seen Star Wars... She was just doing it to appease me lol. And no boots yet. The only boots I have are white biker boots, ladies size 8. Link to comment
Chef[501st] Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Looks like an older MonCal suit... but it checks out. A waft of black paint and all the trimmings and you should be golden (well, black... but you know what I mean). 1 Link to comment

JDC[501st] Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 Does anyone know if there is a brand of flight suit that can be both used for shadow scout and Tie pilot? Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Link to comment
toddo[TX] Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Unfortunately, you can't use the same jumpsuit for both. The major issues is that the scouts don't have visible pockets whereas the TIE pilot has some very specific pockets that must be visible. Link to comment
Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 There's also the imperial cog on the biceps which you wont find on the scout. Link to comment
JDC[501st] Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 Ahh, ok, just curious Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Link to comment
Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 The tie jumpsuit can double for a gunner or a crewman, though, but the shadow scout is way better 2 Link to comment
JDC[501st] Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 I will hopefully be putting the paint on the pieces soon after I re-fit the to my larger size. Where is a good painting tips post that I can follow? Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Link to comment
