I think for basic approval you'll be fine!

Nice looking scout! Easy pass for basic

The only concern I have is the seam you have running along the bottom of the sleeve. I haven't seen any pictures of the vest that would suggest that is there.

And can I just point out in that right pic how obvious the zip tie is on the left shoulder bell?

Is it possible to order from Tandy Leather? that's where many of us in the US get our suede https://www.tandyleather.com/en/product/super-softy-pigskin-suede

SC bells are too long off the bat. I am 6 feet tall and I trimmed about 1.5 inches off them. And yes, you only want the sleeve to pop out a bit from underneath of them and keep the strap loose enough so that the sleeves don't flare. There's not much room to trim on the bicep armor unfortunately, but you may be able to tweak the forearm a bit. Check out Pandatrooper's build thread and see what he did: http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=9781&st=60

I love mine. But as far as I know they have made all the ones they are going to make and no more.

Mike Thanks for making me your XO and giving me the opportunity to help lead the Detachment. We did a hell of a lot to be proud of this past term. I know you weren't around as much as you would have you liked, but your guidance and vision for the Pathfinders was always inspiring us to do the best we could. Can't wait for Celebration!

Beat me to it

The idea behind the ART is that it's to be a mentoring/build group established locally to help reach out to new member or help older members keep up with standards. It shouldn't really matter where it's based out of and there's no reason you can't be a branch of the main ART. Southern California Garrison is pretty spread out as well and I have not even met everyone who is a member of our ART in person. But we are still able to help and assist each other through our Facebook group.

You'll want to take that red target thing out of the scope too

Of the rivets on top and bottom? The Pandatrooper thread that was posted above will have it.

Easiest way is one rivet on the top and one on the bottom In the films, the tank was held on to the back armor by straps, which is why you see them sliding all over the place! We aren't 100% sure how it was rigged up though, so you can be creative if you go this route. Still -- you need the rivets even if they are just decorative.

Welcome to the Pathfinders!

A CRL for that would most likely end up in Spec Ops.

Best thing to do, besides adding foam, is make sure the cod thong is not too tight. I made my adjustable: Also you don't want much, if any, of the cod actually going between your legs. So, like this:

That looks incredible, dude

I like the white/white combo but all are good!

Awesome!

1. Just under the chest armor to right at the belt line. I'm 6'0 and my bund is 9 inches tall. 2. Duck cloth is most common 3. Pouches attach to the bund on the film scouts, though many folks attach to the chest armor instead. Lancer is attached to bund. 4. It is the new way but it's actually the old way Just took us awhile to find out about it. Here is my set up: 5. The belt does indeed go across the belly button. They didn't wear low rise pants in the Empire back in 1983!

I used those same pads in my KS Scout bucket and they worked well

That sounds about right. I'm 6'0

Great work, man!

If you are not joining the 501st, you could probably find something on eBay that fits your price range

Looking forward to your progress!
