retrofire[501st] Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Will this work? j Yep that's the stuff I used for my lid. Be sure to scuff up both sides of the locations you are gluing with some sandpaper or fine scotchbrite and clean them with isopropyl alcohol before bonding and give the epoxy and hardener a good mix before applying. Keep in mind once you use this it's permanent so the measure twice cut once rule applies😉 1 Link to comment

Force Crush[TX] Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 I have a question about what weapons can a Shadow Scout use. I know that the blaster is the default weapon of choice but, what other weapons can I use once I finish my costume? Link to comment
Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Hi Carlos, all the approved weapons are in the CRL. You can do the hold out blaster, E-11, or DLT-19. Link to comment
retrofire[501st] Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 You're a Scout brother do not carry the E11 that's a Stormies territory. Snag yourself a DLT😀 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment

Force Crush[TX] Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 Ohhhh yes! Thing is I don't know where to start. I don't own a dremel to cut the visor. Maybe I'll start with the little details. Link to comment
Force Crush[TX] Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 O also have my blaster! Link to comment
BananoPower22[501st] Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Nice to see you've got a thread already set up here! Let's get this done and suit you up brother! Link to comment
Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Step 1 - buy a Dremel . It's one of the most universally useful tools I've ever owned. I use it for all kinds of stuff, not just costuming related. If you have a harbor freight near you, you can get a fairly cheap rotary tool there. 2 Link to comment
retrofire[501st] Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Now is the time to relax and take a deep breath. As you tackle this you're going to want to take it a step at a time and be methodical. It's the measure twice cut once adage. Gather your tools and take it a step at a time and take your time. It's better to ask a question than make an expensive mistake so remember to that we're here for you if you need. Looking forward to seeing you get suited up and approved. 1 Link to comment

Force Crush[TX] Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 10:06 p.m. and working on my breastplate pouches. Looking good? Link to comment
retrofire[501st] Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Pouches are looking great and they look to be the perfect size. 1 Link to comment
Force Crush[TX] Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 I'll try to put the velcro on the other side today. Thanks for the feedback! Link to comment
Force Crush[TX] Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 Ok. Second pouch is ready...I think. Feedback is appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment
BananoPower22[501st] Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Try to space the pouches a bit towards the edges of the chest plate and leave about 4 to 5 inches in the middle. While wearing the cummerbund the ribs should be visible. 2 Link to comment
Force Crush[TX] Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 Chest, back, biceps, forearms and knee velcros are set. Link to comment
Force Crush[TX] Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 I was planning on cutting the visor from the helmet today. Any advice or tips? Link to comment
kaabous[TX] Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 My best tip is to go slow and check the sizing and shape often. I used a drill to get some holes started then lexan scissors for the bulk of it. The next time I do it, I would do more of the shaping with rough (80-100 grit) sand paper (or sand blocks are great for it too). I think I tried to get it too close to the necessary size and shape with the scissors and even with curved scissors it was hard not to miscut anything. I'm curious about the nub on the back armor. Can you post a top down pic of that? It looks like they added a spot to rivet the tank top without adding the pandatrooper style bracket. That is awesome! 2 Link to comment
