Hey Sean! I am in Southern California as well. Welcome to 501st Pathfinders. If you are on the Facebook, we have a local Pathfinder group that can help you. Look up "Scout Team Six" and request to join

Those will do nicely!

Yup that is the Red Kap suit we all have! To Stasz you will listen! Do not cut yourself.

If you can make it resemble the on-screen suit -- mandarin collar, suede patches, and no visible separation between top and bottom, I don't see why not. But if the material made the suit look "odd" (and a lot of this is just objective judgment) then it may not pass basic. It's really up to the GML

Usually folks just do a basic "tooth-space-tooth-space-tooth-space" etc pattern when they cut the fronts. And that's fine, you'll get Lancer with that. But if you want to go for extra credit and really copy the originals. The pattern is more like "tooth-space-two teeth-space-two teeth-space-tooth" etc. Here's a pair of Sierras where you can see the pattern:

Welcome to 501st Pathfinders!

It's 1/2 inch for Lancer. Here I am experimenting with 1/4 inch, which I suspect may have been the actual size. Shhh I sewed the two ends of the strap together and then ziptied them to the ziptie anchor that I affixed into the bell. Yes. I hotglued it to the loop. It works great. As weird as this set up sounded when Gino first described it to me, once I tried it out I loved it. Turns out those LFL costume designers know what they are doing!

Sorry folks, I forgot to post how I set mine up: I have hotglued the connection between the ziptie anchor and the shoulder bridge. So the shoulder bells always stay connected to the chest armor. This is how Gino described the way the screen scout was done.

Moved to the Rebels Biker Scout section. But yeah, Brian is right. It would require someone to make a helmet and armor that matches the cartoon. So repurposing currently existing Scout armor is not going to do the trick. And for something that is so niche I can't imagine a lot of propmakers would want to get in on it. But we have a forum set up for anyone that wishes to start building the CRL, so feel free to get involved.

Yes that is correct. I've never worn an SC so I can't answer the second question. Maybe someone else can chime in on that!

You can get kits from SC, KS and MC. Spike does not offer his as a kit.

Welcome! And yes, that Scout toy was amazing! $330 for an assembled helmet is very reasonable. My first Scout helmet was the assembled KS. My second one cost almost twice that. Altmann is our very own Spike! Look him up on this site and shoot him a PM.

He has to say that for legal reasons. Rubies is the authorized helmet so this is sort of "cover-your-butt" language.

You are in the right section! I am a big fan of SC. MC is good too, wait times can be excruciating though....

They aren't the best replicas I've ever seen but they should be fine for basic approval

I can't think of any particular threads but there is a Facebook group you may consider joining: https://www.facebook.com/groups/GirlScoutTroopers/

Glue the pieces of the belt together with E6000. Use only ONE rivet on each side to attach the belt in the back, as pictured above

JUST DO IT

2) Shoretrooper HQ is a fine place for a WIP thread. I'll see if I can get you an answer for 1)

Waiting for your app dude
