All the decals on my initial approval are the SC ones, definitely approvable!

In regards to the flex, it may be time consuming and maybe not the best option, but in my experience in making costumes, particularly on flexible pieces like latex, I use a latex mask paint made by monstermakers.com and apply with an airbrush. It's designed to flex a bunch and not flake or chip. You can make it yourself, I just forget the ratio/recipe.

I think he means he wants a snout greeblie without a mic/speaker inside.... Which none do

Well I went ahead and went all in. Went to a local auto store and picked up the whitest whit I could find. Then set to spraying. A good number of coats later, this is where I'm at. Possibly finished the dome. Color is pretty close, but looks darker under interior lights. I think once I throw a clear coat on, it will really help. Anyone agree?

Darn... That's what I'm most unsure on

Awesome! Should be helpful. Did yours come painted or did you paint the white? If you painted, what brand/ how many coats?

Well, ive got all my parts now. Time to assemble! Does anybody have painting tips? preperation, what paint to use, etc? any and all help in this department would be greatly appreciated. Goal is to come close to ABS matching

Could I paint them and call it good?

So I found the headband and 3m bolts on eBay the other night... They just arrived only to find that the bolts don't look correct.... The opposite of the pictures used.... Do they just need to be painted or is it basically junk?...

I think I ordered in May? Was quoted 16-20 weeks, got here yesterday. Also ordered a belt with it. In the time frame quoted it should of arrived in September, but here it a month early! Very surprised! Might be a gamble from order to order though given their recent backlog....

So my MLC just came in! Early too! Question is, what now? I have ordered some trooper bay decals, but what else does it need? It comes with the glue on snout greeblie, but no riser plate. Good source for a replacement that fits? Also, recommendations for painting that will give it that bright white shine? Thanks!

Could be like me and go 0-100 real quick... I messed up my paint, then when I tried to correct it by respraying white, the plastic had an adverse reaction and caused it to yellow to a vanilla-ish color... Then I tried sanding if off and made it worse... Said screw it and took it to a buddy who paints cars professionally. I said "fix this." Now it looks great!! But a pro car paint job will do that...

I would say you are correct. Sometimes people refer to say, a motorcycle helmet lens as a visor, so the interchangeability carries on from there.

The "Len/visor" was probably saidbecause some people call it one or the other.... Going to say 99.9% sure it comes with the visor.... Not the lens...

Do you mean the lens?..

I just have pads in the dome and "ears".... Never heard of anyone putting padding in the nose... Others use helmet liners as well

It comes with everything needed I believe. Just ordered one and that's what I was told. Don't know why that website says that...

Pretty sure it won't pass.

Hold up. HOLD THE *%#! UP. That completed one was a pep?? THATS NUTS!! I've never seen a pep scout helmet that looks that good.... I've gotta step my pep game up... Really awesome work dude!!

Most everyone will agree SC is the go to. Most parts will require some cleanup trimming, as it comes mostly rough trimmed

So I went ahead and grabbed one. Threw it together really quick and here it is! Not too bad, just needs a little finishing. Light as a feather. -I do know that I put the rear piece backwards, lol. Has been fixed

Awesome!! Yeah I was wondering about the lines... Didn't think about the acetone idea. Thanks for that!

Hey guys, so I have a troop this weekend and need a blaster in a hurry. Found this one, and am wondering what everyone thinks? Also, if anyone has a blaster they are looking to sell, let me know right now, let me know! https://www.etsy.com/listing/237482480/3d-printed-scout-trooper-blaster-snaps?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=scout%20trooper%20blaster&ref=sr_gallery_1

I'd drop the leg pouches down a bit more, and add some length to the strapping holding your shoulder bells so the sit lower and bit more flush. Other than that looks good
