  1. I love your clips Terry...wish I could get a set from you.
  2. Wow, looking good! YOU are almost there trooper!
  3. Check out JediJennie's tutorial link below: http://jedijennie.com/bikerscout/ The belt she has looks sort of like yours...maybe an older MC?
  4. Super nice and works like a charm! Well done!
  5. You might have the "BBC" button clicked. It's the "B" button in the upper left. Try turning that off so you don't see the actual codes. It may work better. Also, to Barry's point...I don't see your riding patch or butt flap either. That sounds terrible.
  6. Not sure what you doing but there were extra tags in there again. I fixed 'em for ya! Great looking setup btw...my only comment is to raise your belt boxes a bit, maybe 2" or so. I'd turn your bicep parts around so they face outward (L and R). Also, looks like you're missing a left-side TD end cap too. Great work though...
  7. It's a sweet blaster Duff! Also, I just realized this morning that you have incorporated a magnet into the trigger that can be integrated into the holster. That's a nice touch and will help keep it in the blaster holster. Nicely done sir!
  8. Nice job sir, you have serious boot cobbler skillz indeed!
  9. This is a review of the new DuKu Industries Biker Scout blaster from BSN member Duff. This review will compare the DUFF, HOTSHOT, SCI-FIRE, and Underground Productions (UGP) scout blasters. Duff gave me the opportunity to check out his new Scout blaster and "kick the tires". Although I compared it to several other blasters I own, this review will focus only on the new blaster as made by Duff. Right now, Duff is working on a name for the blaster so at the time of this review it is "pending". By the way, he's a really cool guy I'm very pleased to present this review to the troops. Okay, here's my in depth review: WEIGHT: Right away, I noticed the blaster weight. This is not a bad thing as I prefer to have something that feels solid and not like it will break. I was able to place this one in my holster and walk around with no sagging of my boot. Overall, it weighs about the same as the Sci-Fire Hyperfirm I own, but feels much more sturdy. LOOK AND FEEL: This blaster is super nice with a clean sharp pull. The black rubber, rather than a prop painted black, adds to the realism of the prop. Out of the box, it is ready to be "weathered" up for that "broken in look" or left as-is for a nice shiny black blaster. There are virtually no seams on the blaster, unlike other blasters that have horrible seam lines. This also adds to the realism of the prop. DURABILITY: I dropped the blaster a few times and it literally bounced. Since this is a durable rubber material, I feel it will last for a long time and through many, many trooping events. Of course, dropping a blaster is not something you would do on a regular basis but it does happen from time to time, and usually on concrete. I like that the blaster came with a rubber and a plastic trigger guard and scope ring. To me, the plastic parts are more durable and add to the realism of the blaster. But there are some scouts who may prefer the rubber version. It's nice to have that option, but I'm not certain what options he will provide in the production model. DETAILS: This blaster has some really, really nice details. I love the power cell, the trigger, the scope (even though it's version 1), and the barrel. This demo model came with version 1 of his scope and I understand Duff is working on a newer, more improved model. I'd like to see the final scope as there may be some more details in the final product. This version looks great and the scope adjustment knobs really look cool! See pics below... SUMMARY: I cannot say enough good things about this blaster and the skill that went into making it. Of the blasters I own, this would be my favorite, even with the scope as-is...it's just that good. The workmanship and detail that went into creating it really shows Duff's skill and ability to cast and pull a superior product. The flexible rubber material is more solid than the Hyperfirm material and should last a long, long time. To me, this will be a great Biker Scout blaster offering for our BSN community. Well done!

  10. I agree with the fellas above, don't lose hope...it can be worked out. There's a lot of info on this site, tutorials, etc and we're all happy to help you sort it out. I am curious where you obtained the kit though...
  11. I just came across these on a motorcycle gear site. http://www.bikersden...te-leather.aspx http://www.bikersden...rst-mfg-co.aspx And found this on Amazon: http://www.amazon.co...m/dp/B004C443U8 http://www.amazon.com/Leather-Motorcycle-Winter-Zippered-Gauntlet/dp/B004CUXO8Y/ref=sr_1_9?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1361978619&sr=1-9&keywords=leather+gauntlet+gloves
  12. Very nice start and I like your organizational list...!
  13. I personally do not use fans in my bucket. I'm in North Texas and it gets hot here, but i never get overheated. I guess I'm used to riding motorcycles with a helmet too. The scout lid has nice side ports which seems to work for me.
  14. This blaster looks really, really nice. I'm looking forward to seeing on in person.
