Carlos's Shadow Scout WIP

[Force Crush[TX]]

These are the decals I received with my armor.

[Force Crush[TX]]

So, can I stick gray decals to my black helmet and still get approved?

[furiosa[TX]]

Here som pics from my bucket

 

 

 

[furiosa[TX]]

Thats the decals for the details like the altmann's bucket in my previous link.

 

You can order black decals from "chef" hes the DL of the pathfinders detachment but also here in the detachment. My armor and buckets incl. The decals are from him.

The nose greeblie as well as the visor bolts are only a paint job

So, can I stick gray decals to my black helmet and still get approved?

 

As per crl's both is allowed. It's only a matter of what you personal like better

[Force Crush[TX]]

Ok, I'll leave them like that. I'm not going to paint them or anything like that.

Tube stripes need to be black. Any non-black are grandfathered costumes.

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

Disregard, thought we were talking shadow stormtrooper

[Force Crush[TX]]

Ok!

[Force Crush[TX]]

Thermal detonator greeblies glued and painted. Visor bolts painted. Thermal detonator painted and one cap left to glue.

Tube stripes need to be black. Any non-black are grandfathered costumes.

 

...i wish my gtandfather would at least wear one

[furiosa[TX]]

@Carlos: so you are heading for black details ?!

[Force Crush[TX]]

I'll go with the decals I have. Ordering the Shadow Scout decals means that I'll have to spend more money. I'll stick with what I have. Thanks for your help!

It's totally a matter of personal choice but going full black does look badass

[Force Crush[TX]]

Ok, update time. Finally I decided to put some velcro to the bicep and forearm armor. I hope it looks ok.

[furiosa[TX]]

Yeahhhh!

 

Take care vor the elastics width.. They are defined for specialist

[Force Crush[TX]]

Are those elastics ok?

[furiosa[TX]]

I can hardly judge the width from the picture with our measuring tape

[furiosa[TX]]

5. Bicep armor

are secured around the arm with a 35mm ( 1 & 3/8") black elastic strap.

6. Forearm armor

secured around the arm with a 25mm ( 1") black elastic strap.

7. Belt straps used for drop boxes

should be made with a 40mm (1 1/2") black cotton knob,

11. Knee armor

to have two elastic straps, one passing through the knee armor 25mm (1") wide on the bottom and one 12mm (1/2") riveted to the top sides of the knee armor.

13. Shoulder armour

should be secured around bicep with a 35mm ( 1 & 3/8") black elastic.

Finally an update!

The rivets on my backplate are secured. Thermal detonator finished and working on the helmet is being done. However, I'm having a bit of difficulty on it. I hope I'm doing a nice job.

Looks nice and tidy.. Make sure you paint the rivers also black. You can use paint or black nail Polish from. Your girlfriend for that

[Force Crush[TX]]

Someone told me about the nail polish trick! I'm going to buy some to paint the rivers.

[Force Crush[TX]]

Ok, back again after another long time. I've secured some portions of the helmet but I'm having trouble trying to align properly the aides of the helmet. Please help!
