SL/TX-9162[501st] Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Well I think I'm done with full armor, got my Nova and finishing off my clone, and the scout seems like a perfect compromise. I have not settled down to locating a kit yet however... as I am wondering if it is better to locate a Black ABS kit or if painting up some armor would yield acceptable results. Link to comment
T0R1[TX] Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 its a tad a bit harder to grab due to timeing and the makers doing em in batches a black capped one but it does exist. I went for the painted up one for economical reasons but it can pull it off but bound to constantly touch up unless you dont mind the weathered look Link to comment
izzi[TX] Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Yeah, study up on your armor and watch eBay. I found a legit SC scout kit for around $400... (Actually Wraith found it and let me know about it) Â -iz Link to comment
Darth Agnon[501st] Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Having black ABS and knowing how hard it is to keep it shined up and scratch free, I'd hold out for an ABS kit, because I can't imagine the constant work a painted kit would require. But that's me. If you have to scout now, then by all means, paint it up and scout now. Link to comment
SL/TX-9162[501st] Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 well lucked out with my Nova, so I would prefer Black ABS... I have some feelers out so I'll hold out as long as I can. Link to comment

Â Â Do we have any pics of A SCOUT CONCEPT RIFLE (Carbine) Â I have a lead on a scout costume so I may be going the painted route at this point. Link to comment
Chex[501st] Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 As far as I know, MC is the only one putting out a quality shadow scout in black ABS right now. SC needs to hurry up and find a new supplier. Link to comment
SL/TX-9162[501st] Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Got a great deal on a TB, so looks like I'll be going the painted route, just need to look everything over and see what I need to finish off... And I'll need to make new boots.I have some old sniper boots I may use as a base for my shadow scout boots, repaint everything and finish off some minor details but I believe I should the shadow scout ready pretty quick. Â Now the hold out blaster is included, but what else can a shadow scout carry? Not to keen on the rocket launcher, so is an e-11 a possibility or should I try something else? Link to comment

Not to keen on the rocket launcher, so is an e-11 a possibility or should I try something else? I'd go with the Rocket launcher, if I could replicate it... it has a source! Otherwise, normal scouts can carry the carbine and DLT-19s, so you could probably slip those into troops. Â -iz Link to comment
SL/TX-9162[501st] Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 The rocket launcher looks sweet... So much fire power, may have to a search and see if I can find any good for building one... All I have for my Nova is a T-21, but the carbine sounds cool, do we have any info on it? Link to comment
SL/TX-9162[501st] Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 Armor just came in today, need to set down and get to work now. Going to take the armor to friend and see what we need to do. The boots actually fit so I'm hoping we can salvage them. Any here is a link to the some pics of what I'm starting with.

izzi[TX] Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 NIce, is this turning into your TX or staying TB? Link to comment
SL/TX-9162[501st] Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 this one is going to be a shadow scout... Picking a second up in march, and I will attempt to make that one convertible into a snow scout. Link to comment
SL/TX-9162[501st] Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 Is there any set length on the strapping for the drop boxes? Link to comment
izzi[TX] Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I don't think so. Hey just have to sit on your hips right. It'll be different as all troopers are different heights. Link to comment
SL/TX-9162[501st] Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 well got the webbing so hopefully we can get to work on the armor... dyeing the cummerbund is a nightmare. Link to comment
SL/TX-9162[501st] Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 what decals does the shadow scout have to have on the bucket? Getting the painting done and some clean up work with a friends help, replacing the boot holster and the tank topper but dunno what to do about the decals. Link to comment
izzi[TX] Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Shadow scouts are straight black. So I'd get rid of the decals. Â -iz Link to comment
SL/TX-9162[501st] Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 works for me, easy enough to add them later if there is an issue. Link to comment
Rotccole Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I want some build pics! Also, rank on the tank...does it have to be flat black...or can it be sliver? I think that would look pretty cool! Link to comment
SL/TX-9162[501st] Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 Drooped it off at a friends, he has the space and tools... ;> But I picked up a new holster and a new tank topper so I'll see whats up and drop in later and get some pics, cummerbund came out well I'll get a pic or two of that shortly. Â Can you even see the rank stripes? Link to comment
SL/TX-9162[501st] Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 Well the armor is over at a friends getting painted and what not, the cummerbund is dyed, and I have all the other parts waiting... Coming along, hopfully it will be ready soon. Link to comment
izzi[TX] Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Oooh... I'm jealous. I need to make progress on mine. Can't wait to see pics, bro! Link to comment
