Yeesh!

Clean? Nah, a dirty trooper is a happy trooper!

Congrats, and welcome aboard, trooper!

I use a Contico storage locker for my scout. It fits everything but the bucket, which goes in a motorcycle helmet bag. Pop on over to Walmart and pick one up! Oh, and they meet TSA size requirements for airline travel, so that's an added bonus!

I second that! My scout is all MC. It took awhile to get it, but yes, it's absolutely hands down worth the wait!

Nicely done so far! A dirty scout is a happy scout!

I've got a couple questions about this: 1. Are the proposed changes going to be mandatory for everyone? 2. Will those of us who are already approved Pathfinders be grandfathered in? 3. Are the changes proposed going to be for Lancer approval?

Not so sure about posting links to blaster sources, so I'll send a PM instead, erring on the side of caution. But I will say that it's lightweight, and nicely troopable!

It does, Griffin, although I think I'll add a little velcro in a couple places just for a little additional security.

I've put my rare earth magnet in that very location. I countersank the trigger (the circle referred to on the butt of the blaster), and glued the magnet in place, with the other magnet glued between the shaft of the boot and the holster itself, if that makes sense...

Having done a TK and a snowie in addition to my TB, I'd recommend starting with a smaller piece first, and working your way up to the bigger sections. Something like a knee plate is a whole lot less intimidating than a chest or back plate to a beginner.

Very well done indeed!

Come to the dirty side... I understand there's cookies and/or cake involved. lol

That's essentially what I did, with the addition of using some graphite and sandpaper to to some carbon scoring in places. A blending stump came in handy too to work some of the graphite into crevices where grime would naturally accumulate. As far as how much is too much? Well, personally, I think a dirty scout is a happy scout. It's all up to you really what's too much. Start out small, and if you're not happy, add a little more weathering until you get a look you're satisfied with.

Nah, no heatgun. I've got MC's scout kit; the decals are just plain sticky backed vinyl. Do take Dart's advice and test fit them before sticking them down. Once they're on, that's it. Good luck!

That's some good info to have... and I'll say it: There's always room for Jello!

That should be all you'll have to do to 'em.

Agreed! Velcro the bells to the vest. It's what I did, and it's just much simpler, IMHO.

Well done!

Y'know, I had the beginnings of the same problem. I hit the spots that were coming loose with some E6000, and no troubles now. Keep looking for that stuff, it works wonders!

Gah!! I'd never seen a Rubies scout until today! Yikes!! Good luck modding that!

I used densified batting to fill out my pouches. It's a PITA to cut, but at three inches thick, couldn't beat it!

I remember that kid! I sometimes wonder what happened to her...
