  1. Have you already weathered them? You can really change up the look after weathering. Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk
  2. If the foam isn't an option, you can also snap or Velcro to your shirt. If we can't see the strapping method - it doesn't matter. Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk
  3. You're off to a great start. Don't forget to paint the oblong on the chest black. You might need to shove some foam in the forearms to prevent rotation. Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk
  4. You can buy some nice ones from Mr. Paul. I made my own with some styrene and foam rectangles. Hit it with a few coats of plastidip and paint and it looked fine. Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk
  5. Unless it is spelled out in the CRL, if we can't see it - we can't comment on it.
  6. I went with a TK talkie for sound effects and voice amplifications. Tons of options that I can move from costume to costume. Static bursts might not be cannon for the Shore but it's still fun.
  7. Hi John - let's work together with the GMLs to find a solution to get you cleared for basic! PM has been sent.
  8. I'd go with Mike says - proportions look good!
  9. Hey - you'll want to do a dark brown instead of black for the undercoat. Have you checked a car store for the Toyota red? That's where I found mine. For the blue (which you don't need if going for a grunt), I had a custom can mixed for L2. If you're just going for basic approval, check out one of the Montana gold colors. Use this page for a starter: I used brown duck cloth for my pants - hopefully it's easy to find at most fabric stores. I got mine at Joanns in the States.
  10. Yeah, I don't think you need the primer. The dark brown I used was Rust-Oleum and was fine for plastics. Just ensure that there is plenty of cure time between the enamel and acrylic paint. I'd spray a scrap piece brown along side the rest of the kit. Then, spray the beige on the scrap piece first to check you won't get a bad reaction between the two types of paints.

  11. You're off to a great start. Smart decision to wait for better painting weather. Better to wait and get it done right than to rush and waste time sanding and repainting anyways. Looking at your group shot of paints and weathering cans, will you be adding a can of dark brown for the base layer? Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk
  12. Looking forward to your build! Happy to help when you need it. Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk
  13. This is the way. I got L2 on my Biker so if you need help, let me know. GT also has a Meet and Greet 1/13 if you want to connect with more Bikers.
  14. Hey Matt, there are lots of Biker Scouts in Garrison Titan. Reach out if you need help! Looking forward to meeting you at a troop. Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk
  15. Nice! I'll have to check them out next time I'm in the area. Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk
