Shadow Scout research, Q's inside...

[Harbinger33[501st]]

Apologies as I'm sure these have all been asked before. Waiting (still) on my FOTK Anovos kit so I figured I would at the very least, begin researching my planned #3 costume which may become #2 with all the delays. My plan is to do a Shadow Scout/General Weir and build to Specialist from the get-go.

 

Question #1 - Lancer vs. Specialist, AKA anything "above and beyond" Specialist that I should know about? I'm aiming for as close to screen accurate (you know what I mean!) as possible here.

 

Question #2 - Armor/vendor recommendations. Looking for something pulled in black ABS (to avoid painting) that will meet L2 requirements.

 

Thanks in advance!

hello,

 

as for the screen accuracy of the shadow scout .. the shadow scout crl was pulled from the biker scout (cant find chef's post atm where he stated that)

 

i think the specialist crl is pretty straight forward and i cant think of anything that needs special attention

 

as for armor ... pulled in black, check with chef, sc(studio creations), spike(altmann) as they make them in black .. there may be more out there but, those are the ones i can think off the top of my head.

 

good luck!

Thanks Ken. Registered an account over @ Pathfinders for further researchification. Will look into those vendors. Cheers.

I guess my original question was more about TB/shadow scout CRL inconsistencies, so even if they derive from the same source someone may want to look into it (for Level 2). Lancer requires 3M bolts on the bucket whereas Specialist does not, different elastic sizes for strapping, etcetera.

your right, there are some things different ... with the new information found in pathfinders the shadow scout doesnt get updated with that information.

 

i made a post about the strapping differences but, i guess its not enough to make changes here. and we just worked through and changed the pathfinder lower knee strap a few weeks ago.

im not sure what it takes over here to make changes. ... ?

 

 

and well, im not sure how to even talk about the "paint" sheen over here ... alot of troops are using satin and matte sheens ... when the crl clearly states gloss or semi gloss. again ... ?

 

 

as far as the elevator bolt .. its mentioned in the basic crl not in the specialist section

 

 

i guess, from what i gather through reading the forums /// you better off checking with your gml and see what he/she accepts ... i have heard some gml's are pretty tough on costume submissions and other are easy going.

[Harbinger33[501st]]

As far as SpecOps is concerned, do you think if I follow Lancer requirements where they differ I'd have any issues with Specialist status?

Its always best to stick with the CRL of the character your building. As a GML that's what we are going to review your costume against. The Shadow Scout isn't just a Biker Scout in black ABS its a different chap all together. The references it was taken from are not film so there is a lot of leeway with this character. This is to say they could only glean the costume information from the comics they came from. You can't match the two CRLs as they both evolved independently. Antje is the Shadow Scout Armourer here and you can always raise CRL level questions to her. I know they are always open to discussing CRL questions here in SO.

Hi Guys,

 

as I told Brien in the PM we are well aware there ar differences in the CRL´s for the Shadow Scout compared to the Biker Scout.

And yes we are already working on an update for several Costume CRL´s, also for the Shadow Scout. I´m sorry but currently it´s not possible for me to tell you when they gonna go online. In the meanwhile the current CRL´s are valid.

Please be aware the Shadow Scout and the Biker Scout are 2 different costumes. One is from the OT and the other is from a Comic out of the extended Universe. So there can be differences in the CRL´s possible, even after an CRL-update. Also since we are 2 different Detachments in charge of the CRL´s

Thanks everyone. Now just waiting on the new Strider armor and some free time to do a build... fingers crossed.
