Shadow Scout Helmet question

[BananoPower22[501st]]

Hey there everyone! I've been looking around the forum for a bit but I haven't been able to find any 360 degree shots of the Shadow Scout helmet. I've been doing as much as I can helping him getting things done online and he's already got a good grip of how things work and he's got himself approved with a Shadow Guard. My general question is the decals of the helmet or pretty much the areas where the regular scout's got decals and areas such as the chest rectangle and the snout.

 

I read the CRL and said such areas needed to be a different shade of black to create contrast but pictures will definitely do some great justice to this confusion! I've already built 3 regular scouts so the armor building isn't itself the problem... it's the darker side of the dark side of the empire that's got me quite confused (and definitely inclined on purchasing one in a near future ).

 

Any help will be very much appreciated!

Howdy Juan, good to see you here. Yes the Shadow Scout has very similar details that closely resemble the classic Biker Scout. For me, I did my helmet with black matte decals to go with the gloss finish on the helmet. I also did the snout in matte black to contrast. Others go with the gray decals, but I think it distracts from the overall look of the scout. Check out my build thread for some pics.

Thank you very much, this helps a lot and clears up some questions! Looks like an option here is to paint the decals in black that my friend's kit brought Thanks Jim, you're a life saver!

@BananoPower22 Thank you for asking this question, and @Griffin-X, thank you for answering with your photos!

 

I’ve been searching these threads to answer my own questions without asking repetitive queries.

@Rowen Just keep in mind @Griffin-X (rip brother) posted this back in 2017.  The CRL has gone thru updates since then so it might be good to ask.

Thanks for the info.  I try to do as much research on the costume first, before digging in.  I have a few older ones (Boushh and a Tusken) that need updating as well, so I appreciate the heads up.  I was thrilled to see a photo gallery.

Rowen you will see something on the CRL that did not exist years ago, that is the Gallery View. Click that, you will be surprised what you see.

Is there a list of vendors to get parts from? I need a set of Visor bolts to finish my wifes shadow scout.

[Blackwatch[CMD-DCA]]
