  1. Looking good Sent from my LG-M150 using Tapatalk
  2. Lol I never wear mine as it is. Sent from my LG-M150 using Tapatalk
  3. I thought the drop boxes look more like our pouches. Sent from my LG-M150 using Tapatalk
  4. I wondered the same thing. But I think our normal flight suits should be fine personally. The cartoon is drawn very slim and sleek. So I think due to the art, a flight suit may look like a body suit. But again, that's my opinion. Sent from my LG-M150 using Tapatalk
  5. Looking good so far. The boots are my favorite part of the build. Feel free to ask any questions you may have along the way. Sent from my LG-M150 using Tapatalk
  6. This sucks as we use the garrison in ours. Bast Alpha Recon Team. Sent from my LG-M150 using Tapatalk
  7. I have a 3d printed blaster. With some work it can look really good. Sent from my LG-M150 using Tapatalk
  8. That's the problem I run into all the time. I have a clunky amp and I'd love a better mic and amp eventually. My mic tends to twist around also and doesnt pick up my voice. When I do scout pool at cons it stays in place under the deadpool mask. Sent from my LG-M150 using Tapatalk
  9. Not sure where the original thread is but we picked it apart. The pouches seem to be where the armor boxes are on a normal scout. Looks like the bund is ribbed all the way around. WTF is working on the armor design now. Sent from my LG-M150 using Tapatalk
  10. Tempting to try but aftwr a few years and 70+ troops, my belt doeant always hold up. I need a Velcro overhaul in fact. We had to cut the fanfilm a few times because my belt fell off while running. I cut a hole in my back armor and hide mine in my backhump. Adds more acoustics but not always easy for people in front of me to hear because I'm talking out my back so to speak. Before the belt on my amp broke, I'd strap it to my upper torso and hide it behind my chest armor. My original amp fit in my pouches and didn't weight it down as bad as my new one does.

  11. If its sc it should fit. But it could be from a diffrent mold maybe. The boots are actually quite easy and fun to make. Get the marine vinyl from Johannes or another fabric store. A yard is more than enough. The template should be available here, it'll be in the boot section. You can even go with Wal-Mart hiking boots and cut the soles. I was lucky and the brama hiking boots at the time had soles that match basic approval and they were $25. It was a $50 build in itself but tons of fun. Sent from my LG-M150 using Tapatalk
  12. I really want this to be a thing one day. I really wanna do this costume. Sent from my LG-M150 using Tapatalk
  13. W/o seeing the full costume its hard to say anything that hasn't been said. Post up some approval style pics and we can help you out much easier. We love to offer any advice to help your approval go smoothly. Sent from my LG-M150 using Tapatalk
  14. Don't get me started on weathering. I can go on for days on my love of natural weathering. But to answer your question it is. Go easy if you paint it on. I went natural. Trooping hard helps. I've hugged several trees and even climbed a few in costume and this has scratched up my armor and over time dirt and even sweat has filled those scratches making it look like its been through the forest. Lots of scouts add carbon scoring on their armor making more battle damage look. Sent from my LG-M150 using Tapatalk
  15. We only paint when its mismatched kit. Sc armor and kc bucket for example. Jeff at sc uses the same white plastic on his entire kit. If the plastic color doffers, then you need to paint. Sent from my LG-M150 using Tapatalk
  16. Yay! Congrats trooper. Sent from my LG-M150 using Tapatalk
  17. Try messaging their Facebook page as well. Sent from my LG-M150 using Tapatalk
  18. It seems all was perfectly explained. It can be confusing and a bit overwhelming. I was lucky enough to meet Bast Alpha Garrison, make friends and learn from them. I encourage all potential members to go out on troops as a wrangler/handler and help out while you're waiting on your parts to come in and while you build. Great way to meet your local group, learn what trooping is all about and make friends. Your locals will be happy to help with your build and you may even be reason enough for an armor party. We love armor parties. Sent from my LG-M150 using Tapatalk
  19. I used the pads SC included in the kit. No wobble, just slides forward on my head. Chin strap stopped that. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J120A using Tapatalk
  20. The title drew me in bro. I have the same bad habit of drinking and spending money online or saying stuff I should keep to myself. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J120A using Tapatalk
  21. I will trust Mickey on the bund as I commissioned a friend in my garrison to make my bund and vest. But I know Mickey and I both have SC armor and buckets and are approved. Lol, nah it's great armor, especially for medium to smaller people. If you have a big head, may want to see if you can trade with someone for a bigger helmet or get a bigger one from another vendor. This may require you to pain your kit as the color of the plastic may vary from vendor to vendor. Can't wait to see pics of your build! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J120A using Tapatalk
  22. Awesome stuff!!! Can't wait to see pics of your build. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J120A using Tapatalk
  23. I went w/o the cup and just have a thick piece of black elastic. I stitched on some Velcro to the elastic and stuck in Velcro to the bucket. Fits more comfortably than the cup. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J120A using Tapatalk
  24. I have a 3D printed blaster as well. I have no real advice here as I'm no lancer. But I did some modifications to mine I will share after work. I know I need to fill in my barrel as well, but I used kids binoculars to make lenses for my scope. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J120A using Tapatalk
  25. Looking good trooper. The boots are my favorite part of the build. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J120A using Tapatalk
