SL/TX-9162[501st] Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 Yea, it's coming along very well, Mark is very exacting... shall we say. ;> I had to swap the back/hump out the belt, and the boot holster... Much better pieces now, gloves are set aside waiting, as is the cummerbund, have a friend working on the boots, I have a pair he made and he does a great job. As soon as everything is in and ready go you can count on pics. ;> Link to comment
SL/TX-9162[501st] Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Hope to have my shadow scout ready to go in about two or three weeks. Link to comment
Darth Agnon[TX] Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Sweet! Have any progress pics? Link to comment
Chex[501st] Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Just looking forward to seeing how the paint job turned out. If it's that good and wears well, maybe I'll do that once my animated ARC is done. If ya need any help to maybe get it up to Lancer specs which I think would get you specialist, lemme know.

SL/TX-9162[501st] Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 Well from what I've seen the paint took very well, Mark is very meticulous in his work. Going to put the belt together tomorrow, and re-assemble the bucket. waiting on the boots still but that should be it. Getting it up to specialist standards may not be too tough, have an MLC bucket so should be OK, boots are being made by a friend so I dunno if he will put the cuts in the sole. The glove should be OK, I have the flack jacket and the flight suit is modded. Link to comment
SL/TX-9162[501st] Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 OK, well I've been lazy... All the scout stuff is here, strapping is done, just need to perfect the height on the thigh boxes but that is about it. Waiting on my boots which I hope will be shipped Friday. In between working on my scout I have also been building an A'Sharad Hett so my attention has been torn, but I will try to get some progress pics tonight. Â Waiting on the detonator buttons, so I may shoot for specialist but who knows. Link to comment
SL/TX-9162[501st] Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Progress pics! Obviously those are not shadow scout boots, I just threw the basic scout boots on so I could walk around. Hoping to have the boots next week sometime. This was white at first, Mark was kind enough to paint it for me. Â http://s397.photobucket.com/albums/pp57/sa3X/Shadow%20Scout/ Link to comment
Darth Agnon[TX] Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Nice! Kinda looks like an evil smurf, lol. Link to comment
SL/TX-9162[501st] Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 Boots will be shipped out tomorrow, so just need some fine tuning and and I will be ready to submit it. ;> Link to comment
SL/TX-9162[501st] Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 Soooooooooooooo... Comments? Anything need tweaked other then the boots? Link to comment
izzi[TX] Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I think the biceps need to sit up a bit higher. Other than that it looks pretty good. I haven't looked at many scouts lately though. (And I haven't finished my own.) Â -iz Link to comment
SL/TX-9162[501st] Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 K, thats just a matter of sliding them up... Link to comment
Darth Agnon[TX] Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Can we re-nickname you "Boots"? Link to comment
SL/TX-9162[501st] Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 that would be an improvment over the nick name my garrison stuck me with. ;> Link to comment
SL/TX-9162[501st] Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 hey guys are those thigh boxes sitting to low? Link to comment
Darth Agnon[TX] Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Are you asking about the pics in the link above or did you forget to post a new one? I looked at a couple of scouts from our garrison and they're wearing theirs a little higher than yours are on your first link. Link to comment
Darth Agnon[TX] Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Check out Dart's here http://forum.specops501st.com/index.php?/topic/59-swampy/page__st__40 they're a little higher, but I did look at Georgetrooper and Tori's pics and theirs seem to be as low as yours. So you should be ok. Link to comment
SL/TX-9162[501st] Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 The pics in the link are all I have so far, I still need to trim the zip ties and tuck the excess webbing in. Well Guess we'll see how it goes then, once the boots come in I'll get my final pics and we'll see what happens. Link to comment
SL/TX-9162[501st] Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 Well with any luck I'll have my boots soon and my shadow scout will be official... I am also looking into getting some professional photos to put em on the main site. Link to comment
SL/TX-9162[501st] Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Got my boots, mounting the holster tonight, and depending on the weather I will take my approval pics. Link to comment
SL/TX-9162[501st] Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Sending my scout in shortly. Â http://s397.photobucket.com/albums/pp57/sa3X/Shadow%20Scout%20Submission/ Link to comment
