BIkerScout98 Shadow Scout WIP

[BikerScout98[501st]]

Hello Spec Ops Detatchment, I just finished getting my approval for ROTJ SCOUT Lancer and have been preparing my second build for the last 2 months so i could be ready to post in here my progress as i go until its finished.

I needed a second project as I'm alone at home, because my wife & son are both DEPLOYED for the military at almost the same time for 1 year each. I needed to keep my mind from worrying and such, so the End result was simple: Build the Shadow Scout! I am basically mirroring my shadow with my rotj kit from head to toe, with the exception of the CRL differences between the two. I will post a few photos to get the WIP started, then add of course as i go. Please feel free to offer advice or help if you see errors in my work (I have thick skin don't worry, and i know its just friendly help and not personal 😉).

Having said all that, BIG HEY!! to all my current Spec Op family here, and very excited to meet more along the way!

Thank You! 👊😀👍

A big welcome to the SwiftSilentRelentless. 

I'm not biased at all, but I love the shadow scout.

Attatching Holster:

I didnt bother with photographing myself trimming. I just took photos of some of the more pertinent work basically.

Belt:

Note: This belt is different from ROTJ  not only in the color, but especially piecing together the dropbox webbing. This shadow version's webbing was much harder to piece together than the more simple rotj was for sure.

So that's what I've got  for this second build of mine. All in all it wasnt so bad, having just went through the lancer approval process for my rotj kit. Coming From that to this, this felt a bit more fun and relaxed. Thanks to everyone checking out this thread, and those so far for your comments, critiques, and general support.

It's always appreciated and put to good use 😉👍.

Thank you @Dropkick Shane!

I'll be suiting up today for my submission photos, i waited a day so as to install my electronics into my bucket (i.e. voice amp, mic, defogger system, and 4 fans).

I make enhanced audio kits based slightly off of ukswraths design. Mine are completely wireless though, as with all my other electronics installed.

Thanks as well @IcyTrooper Ryan!

My Pathfinder Wip was more like a social thread than a build thread from time to time hehe. It was basically the catalyst for posting this Wip more organized, with hd photos and easy to follow from start to end. Im hoping to get approved quickly so i can get in on the run Phin Scout is currently handling. Four items in one run is not something i wanna miss out on.

Lets just hope my Gml's feel the same way as both you Spec Ops staff do. I would be the only shadow scout in central garrison from what I've seen on our Website, and on socials but i could be mistaken...

Off to it, next post will be my submission pics.

Thanks again,

-Scot
