Think that's about it.

When I had to repaint mine, I used Rustoleum Gloss white, the nice expensive kind, and it worked great. You'll want to prime it, sand it, paint it white in light coats, with some wet sanding with a high grit sand paper, then one final coat. Should work, but everything works differently for different people. Good luck, and if you have questions, I'm sure some people who have painted other buckets can chime in as well to offer some advice.

Thanks for translating, Juan. Welcome to BS.N, Snake.

Pictures! Build pictures would be awesome.

Lonewolf Biker Scout Helmet, new version
Chex replied to lonewolf's topic in ROTJ Biker Scout Armor/Helmet
*blank stare* Yeah..tease. -
Nice!
-
What I did was place a peice of velcro on a small strip of ABS and glued it in the groove, then velcro on the back of the greeblie and then stuck it on. Works for me.

Juse some suggestions. Bring your right pouch in a little more. it's too far out. Ideally you want them on the edge of ribs on your bund. Flip your TD, it's on backwards. Circle goes on the right, square parts on the left. Your sleeves are a little long..either that or your shoulder bells are too high up. Other then that, great job, Adam. Jim, you made that KS look pretty.

Nice! Would be better if I could read it Good job on the boots. I love seeing scouts helping future scouts.
-
Yes, and while not the most accurate out of the options you have to choose from, you can def go Lancer with it with a few small mods.
-
For Lancer, yes, for general approval, no.

You gotta put Woody in his place too..can't forget him. Just give him a smack and tell him it was from me.
-
It's liveable, trust me. No one will know but you. Just get that snout and sticker off, hinge bolts off, and stickers off, then upgrade all of those, and you'll be looking good in no time.

Great job! A couple little things though. I'd shorten up the straps in the back for your drop boxes. That will bring them up a little closer, and straighten them out on your hips. Also, put your rank stripes a little lower on your tank. Pull your biceps up a little more, as well as your forearm peices. Also, when you put your biceps on, turn them more in, so that way when you start to move, they will turn out a little and not turn so much to the back of your arm. Your bucket looks fine. Oh, also tighten up the fabric covering your shoulder tabs. Just small adjustments...OH..one last thing. I know you have the butt flap, but ya gotten remember to reach back there and straighten it out lol. It tends to bunch up a little.

Looking good so far!
-
That's a nice vest, Juan.
-
I had initially bought a pair of SA gloves, then bought some Esprits as well, and though the SA gloves are nice, the Esprits are so much nicer.

Whatr Dart said. I got mine pre-built, but have since built 2 for other troopers, and the last one I built actually looked better then mine lol. It's up to you and the confidence, or help you have.

3M bolt asembly keeping face plate up
Chex replied to Shyrax's topic in ROTJ Biker Scout Armor/Helmet
Nope, I cut off the ends and just glued my 3m bolt covers on. So mine aren't functional. -
That shipping is rediculous. Shouldn't cost more then $20. If you're in the US, just go with Witness. He cuts the soles and everything, and you're also supporting a fellow scout. If you're across the pond, see our DL Marcel. You can't go wrong with either of them, and you know it's done right.

I looked at all your pictures, and I'm feeling your pain. I'm assuming you got the helmet pre-built right? There shouldn't be that much of a gap. I got mine pre-built and mine looks way better then that. Man, I told him a long time ago he needed to clean his molds and fix them. To be honest, it looks like a bad trim and rush job. As for the armor, I'm not sure since I have SC. PM Griffin-X as I think he has KS armor, and can give you some tips if that's the case. I would e-mail KS and send them photos of your bucket. See if they would be willing to replace it.

New trooper on the way...eventually
Chex replied to comm tech's topic in Kashyyyk Trooper Armor/Helmet
Welcome to BS.N.! Would be nice to have another Kashyyyk Trooper in the FLG. PM Heatshock and see what he says about armor. Also, if you haven't yet, join up on the Florida boards and say hi. -
Send it back, I say. The only thing I dig about ks is the bucket and blaster.
