TX 18170 shadow scout build

[Dropkick[CMD-XO]]

I'm starting work on my shadow scout build.

I'm going to take photos of the armour build to post here & probably my garrison forums as well.

I'll keep you posted as the build goes on.

I've started working on the lid. Fun times ahead.

Thanks. Almost finished the bucket. Another few evening's work & it should be done. Then it's on to the rest of the armour.

Did the blaster holster & riveted it onto the boot yesterday.

Looks good.  Did you make the boots yourself?  Is the dogbone glued on or stitched on?

[Dropkick[CMD-XO]]

The boots were bought already done. The dog bone is glued on, but stitched on both edges.

A bit more work done last night. Now to tackle the belt & the hump assembly.

[Dropkick[CMD-XO]]

The hump is now attached.

The plate is now riveted onto the top of  back hump.

Looks good!

I got to install the silver lens last night.

Will work again next week as I've the weekend off. Ive the belt & lots of strapping still to do.

Tonight, I got to rivet the top knee straps & installed the snaps on the bottom knee straps.

[IcyTrooper[CMD-DL]]

Moving right along!

[Dropkick[CMD-XO]]

Tonight, I did the forearms & shoulder bells. Next up will be the biceps & the belt completion.

[Dropkick[CMD-XO]]

I got the belt done this evening.

Nearly there

I think we can see the finish line in the near distance!

The clearance photos have been taken & sent in. I've been advised I need a few tweaks & should be good to go.

Wish me luck.

Thanks @IcyTrooper

My forum upload quota has vanished, so I'll have to find a way to send links instead.

I'll send photos when I have the tweaks done. The main tweak involves sanding down the helmet visor to remove a curve, so i'll need to wait for paint & top coat to dry. Sadly, it could be a while before it's all done & ready.

[IcyTrooper[CMD-DL]]

That's interesting, where's the curve?

[Dropkick[CMD-XO]]

It was on the top of the visor.

It was on top of the visor. So I cut about 1cm from the centre of the top of the visor & glued a strip of abs underneath using clamps to keep it more straight.

I've now filled it & sanded it. I've a coat of black paint drying at the moment. Then it will be a coat of varnish & hopefully done.

[IcyTrooper[CMD-DL]]

Hmmmm not sure I even noticed that one on the other pics.
