Jsilvius Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 So I've decided to go the route of printing my Shadow Scout. I'm waiting for IB to open for the July Wave to buy the soft parts. Here are some pictures of the hard parts in progress. 1 Link to comment
RAIDER[PR-CMD] Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Thanks for sharing! At a glance here I am somewhat concerned about the look of these files. Others can def chime in, but the. bicep raised area appears overly raised. The greeblie looks like it is part of the print and the recessed area it should sit in doesnt look correct. Likewise the chest shape and indent just seem off for some reason. Anyways I hate to sound like a downer. Everything may look good in person and I could just be acting overly wary of 3d print files (because they are everywhere)…but still thought I should at least mention the concerns. May I ask where you sourced the files? Are you aware of others using them? 2 Link to comment
Jsilvius Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 Hey David, I got them from ChrisThePropGuy who indicated that he had several folks get approved with them. The greeblie is just set in there for the photo, I haven't attached it yet. Thank you for your concern, I'll reach out to my GML and have him take a look as well. 1 Link to comment
Jsilvius Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 I also have a set from MrPoopie form the Pathfinders detachment. The one of the left is ChrisThePropGuy (Flat Black) the one on the Right is MrPoopie (Gloss Black). They looked the same to me, I just used the ones from Chris because they included the helmet. 1 Link to comment
RAIDER[PR-CMD] Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Noted. Thanks for sharing. I am unfamiliar with the 3D stuff in general. 1 Link to comment

I think the part we are seeing is usually the ridge on the chest goes all the way to the neck, at least that is what I'm used to seeing with ROTJ TB's. The bicep stuff looks fine to me. Ultimately, the GML will be the one reviewing it and approving or not approving, so it is good that you are checking with them! 1 Link to comment
Jsilvius Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 Thank you for the input guys. I'll keep you in the loop as I build.

I've got a friend that is showing off his TB at a troop this weekend, I'll take it up and compare with him. 1 Link to comment
