My son might have one of these, I'm going to dig around in his Star Wars stuff and see if I can find it!

Yeah it's positively Daliesque Sent from my LG-H830 using Tapatalk

Not sure if this is an actual thing or if someone painted this. It says "Elite Corps Trooper" on the stand. I haven't been able to find any other action figures though. http://www.rebelscum.com/TSC/tsc065eliteLS-m.jpg

Oh yeah. In some ways it's a better shape than the SC. The eyes really kill it though.

MY EYES!

This is all I could find. Is this it? http://swg.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_Forest_Camouflage_armour

Welcome trooper!

Any opening? You mean as far as 501st approvable? Then the answer is no. But if you want to make something for yourself to wear at conventions or whatnot, have at it!

Seconded

Without seeing them I can't say, but you would still need to wrap them in white vinyl so you may as well just do it the regular way.

No I would just leave it. Even if you brought it in more on the sides, the problem is the middle bit is too long. I've talked with Walt about this and I think his chest armor is probably about 2-3 inches too high. Here is the WTF, Strider, and SC side by side: I don't think the angle of his cuts are off, it's more just the overall dimensions.

Yeah fronts looks great, rear needs to be taken in. Your green lines look really good

Congrats! Welcome to the Pathfinders

He said he ordered 2 sets....probably explains the $700

I've always thought so too Alan. That the zip tie is glued to fabric that is in turn glued under the shoulder join. And yes it looks like it is ripping out. But the blue screen Scout scenes were the last thing shot for the movie and I imagine by then these suits were being held together by a lot of tape, glue and bubble gum!

I took about 1,000,000,000 pictures of the Scout at Celebration from just about every angle. I don't see any loop my dudes Now do I think a loop would be more secure? Absolutely! And if that works for you and trooping, go for it. For me though, I have found that the more I make my costume like the screen used one, the more it behaves like one. Little things like attaching the cod to the vest, attaching the pouches to the bund, making the bund much shorter, using zip ties.... anytime I've made a change like that my Scout looks better and moves better. So I'm not as big on the hardiness of it or the convenience. But we are all in this for different reason!

I'll have to post mine back up. Never corrected it after photobucketpocalypse. You can see them on our Instagram page though https://www.instagram.com/scout_team_six/

Awesome! Congrats

As far as I know, there was no loop. Not sure where everyone is getting that from. The anchor is in the bell and the other end is glued to the shoulder loop. With mine I E6000ed the other end to another ziptie anchor, and then put velcro loop on the end of the anchor. Under the shoulder loop I put some velcro hook and it holds very well. I used the glue method for awhile but a spell of hot weather put a stop to that! I'll try to post pics later.

Weathering on the helmet looks a bit too heavy for my eyes You don't place mesh in the ears. You put black gaffer tape on the inside of the helmet behind the earholes. And yes, your pouches should be directly under the chest armor. The attachment tabs should mostly be hidden by your chest armor. it's okay to have some of them show but not that much

There are weathered and non-weathered Scouts in ROTJ so both are allowed. My advice is that a little goes a long way. I've seen scouts that look like Oreo cookies mashed up in someone's teeth and that is way too much

^^ that's the stuff

Read, read, read! Which kit did you get?

There are so many great ABS options I don't know why you would want anything else. Take it easy on your head and neck!
