Still trying to figure out how to best upload pics on these forums as all mine are too high resolution.    but I’ve done a test run of paint / weathering on the hand plates to get a feel for things. I think I went a bit too heavy on the latex weathering so I’ll probably paint over it a bit more. I’m still waiting for my aging spray to come in that’ll lessen the contrast between Sahara beige and the dark brown undercoat.    overall I’m very happy with how the first paints have come out! I’m also waiting for the rain to stop so I can continue painting the shoulders   https://imgur.com/a/HkJ098N

Welcome to the Pathfinders, Tyler! You look like you've got a good start, so keep going! Enjoy your build!

Hello Pathfinders!  My Name is Tyler aka JawaJunker, Long time follower and hopeful wisher to one day be able to join the ranks of you fine folks and hopefully join the 501st in the near future with my first costume (ROTJ Biker Scout of course)! Well, the time has finally come! I managed to score a complete & previously 501st approved Biker Scout outfit locally here in North Texas that just never got the chance to get trooped in. I couldn’t be happier I pulled the trigger and jumped into this but I got some work to do to make it mine! While I didn’t find out until after the purchase that the helmet ended up being a Walt 1.0 and is no longer accepted, it’s all good and hopefully will be able to use it later down the road for props and whatnot, but it did give me an excuse to order a coveted item for years now….. RS Prop Masters Biker Scout Bucket, 6 week lead time but also gives me time to get other items together too. Thought I would go ahead and throw out there some of the piece parts I now own and a few items that I have started to pickup to complete the Scout. I’m certain I will be back for more research, questions and roadblocks I’m sure to encounter in the next few weeks/months. -Helmet: WTF 1.0. [I have now purchased and awaiting new helmet, RS Prop Masters] -Armor: WTF. [Had to order a new blaster holster as the one on the boot snapped off at the rivets] -Gloves: Wampa Wear -Jumpsuit: RedKap custom Modified jumpsuit -Boots: Boots that came with my suit were from Cheesewhoopy but unfortunately don’t fit by 1/2”, but happy to have an expert example to fashion my new boots from. [I found a pair of fitting work boots at my local Walmart that I’m planning on carving up to the best of my ability. Seen them listed in another post that seemed to workout for Lancer, so figured I'd give it a shot.] -Cummerbund and Vest: Custom -Sidearm: Hyperfirm -Balaclava: UnderArmour (Recent Amazon purchase thanks to some great posts out there on this forum) -Neck Dickie: Amazon find (Again thanks to this forum) So looking forward to this journey and fun that shall ensue in the near future! Thanks for checking out my post!  

Putting the finishing touches on my helmet—complete with a speakers in the rear. Honestly, the fan’s about as necessary as a snowblower in the Sahara, but hey, it’s a cool breeze on my noggin! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
