TK-12953 Shadow Scout Build Log

Holy crap. That looks absolutely horrible. Why would he even think thats ok to send??? Have you messaged about it? I would definitely recommend Studio Creations if you go a different route. Their kits are top and easy to assemble. They basically come ready to wear. 

 

As far as fixing that helmet. Gonna take a good amount of work. You would need to back that huge hole with something and then fill it, sand smooth, and then paint it. But again, definitely recommend you reach out to the manufacturer and question that

So my armor from CTPG showed up today. Everything looks about right, except the helmet.

I think this is a bad pull. The left side has a huge gap. thoughts?

That is a very interesting pull. Often times you can even it out by cutting into the other piece but honestly, I don't think that is going to work this time around and would make the helmet very small and disproportionate.

Things are moving along. @ChrisThePropGuy made it right with the helmet, but we had an issue with shipping. The resin bolts for the helmet sheared off, so now I'm trying to figure out how to fix that, and how to put the lenses in. And while I have the majority of the trimming done, I think I messed up the tank, as there isn't much room for the tank topper and still haven't figured out how to do the holster. 

But I'm a whole lot closer than I was.

So I'm so close to a full suit up, finally. I only have one more piece I need. Where do you get the belt clips for the TD?

Do you think this might work?

You're building plenty of black armor these days! I just checked a recent buildthread on Pathfinders and they used the same clips you linked and it looks really good once they bent it. I'm just a RotJ Scout and working on a new SpecOps scout CRL so I'm not an expert on Shadow, but that looks good to me.

I've had this build happening for 2+ years, and I'm trying to wrap it up. I also have a Shadow Trooper that is 90% done, just need to do the strapping. I'm trying to get these teo done and out of the way so I can get R1TK started and have room in my work shop for when my Vader parts start arriving.
