Are you able to get the bucket in there as well as the armor ?

Congrats!!!

Congratulations

Cool.. Congratz

Are the "ears" open with mesh?? Or is the black painted ? There appears to be quite a bit of shine on the black

Congratulations

That is too cool!!

Lookin sharp

Is there still a vacancy ? I would like to throw my helmet into the ring

Topher.. If you have a tractor supply near you, they sell replacement plastic face shields in the welding area.. They come pre-tinted.. That's what I have in my visor.. It's a lot more durable than film.. And pretty cheap too

Here are some pics of me wearing my newly weathered armor:

Yes

I got started and think I went over the top. Especially the bucket. I was going for "road grime"

Welcome to the forums Dillon

These look sharp!! I'll buy a kit when you start production

I shot an email to the legion MO about the rifle being canon.. This was his response: "Video games and toys are only supporting refernces when a real movie costume is available. Since the primary source in this case is the movie and no dlt was present it was removed since the main cannon source is the film. Also the battle front version of the game is missing details on the movie source. Short the movie comes first. However since the 501st does not approve weapons with costumes if you would like to use the DLT, as long as its ok with your local garrison and your event coordinator I have no issue with you using one. Jason Rucci Legion Membership Officer TC 8581" I have checked with the person responsible for the official legion trading cards and he said using this non-canon weapon was fine. So to anyone on the fence about getting one, I say go for it. Other than the the rare oddball "official canon troop". You can use the rifle for anything you want

WORD !!!!!! You said it

I'll have to check and see if I can use it in my official 501st trading card.. I know I can for the detachment cards. If I can have it on both of my cards, then I really don't care if it's canon or not. Like Jim said, I don't have many canon only events in my area.

This is true. I think the only official event I have done is "weird" Al

I know.. I think that the scouts should have a BFG.. Mostly because the hold out blaster (or as i like to call mine, "the noisy cricket") is too tiny to look real

So, i guess I need to ask.. For my pathfinder trading card photo, can I use my DLT-19?

I've seen 2 different CRLs.. One of them has the dlt-19 as acceptable (thanks to the battlefront game) http://www.501st.com/crl/TB_CRL/TB006_Biker_Scout/index006.php I even have a Scout action figure that came with a dlt-19

I've got the one from sci fire I was hoping there was something that would be acceptable for cannon. I know that I get tired of holding my big blaster when I'm trooping in my clone.

Can the Dlt-19s have a strap like a real rifle? I've been looking, and I can't seem to find anyone who has done this. Anyone have any ideas what to use to make a strap, or where I could get one that would look like it goes there?

I put some tattoos in one pouch.. And have the kids reach in and grab one. (Because with my gloves on, about all I can do is open the flap)... I tell them I have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in the other one. They always think that's funny.. But that box is a great idea I can keep my camera in there, and don't have to worry about it looking silly.
