White. You can paint the silver rivets if you need to. That's what I did. ALL OTHER RIVETS SHOULD BE SILVER.

SC armor is really great No not much trimming. Sanding down the rough edges so as not to get armor bites. Oh and I lopped about an inch and a half off the shoulder bells because SC bells are too long.

Yeah I agree with you, but for Lancer spec at the current time, we want the bund going just under the belt. But never coming out from underneath of it

Get the trooperbay decals for the lid

The bund is too long, you can see that clearly from the back. It's going about two inches below your belt. So if you pull your belt down to cover it up (which a lot of folks do) then you've got too much of a gap between your pouches and the belt. The pointers I am giving are for Lancer. There are plenty of Basic scouts out there that have bunds that are way too long and have the odd long white torso thing happening. But you don't want to be basic, right? My man here has the belt the same height that you do. See how much bund is sticking out from under his belt? that's right -- zero How about this? See how short homeboy's bund is? I say this to prospects all the time -- you want to make the best scout? Don't try to copy other Legion scouts and see what you can get away with. Follow these three rules: 1) Watch the movie 2) Watch the movie 3) Watch the movie Ask yourself: do I look like the film scout? That's what you want to aim for.

Thanks! We will review and get back to you

Here's a little guideline I came up with from the Costumes book when I was redoing my codpiece and cummerbund. I ended up going the two piece route. You want to achieve this look, whether you go one or two piece: Notice that the cummerbund is actually pretty short. Pretty much just runs from just under the arm pit to just below the top of the belt. The codpiece on the other hand, is much larger than yours, both in width and height. You will want to pull your belt up so it goes across your waist (above your hips, across your belly button) so that it reaches the bottom of your pouches. You don't want that gap between the bottom of your pouches and the top of your belt. So any amount of bund that is popping out from under your belt should tell you how much you need to get rid of. Again, this is Lancer type stuff, but it seems you are headed in that direction anyway. Here's a graphic I made based on my codpiece, which attaches to my undersuit with velcro: Here's a thread I made about this topic awhile back. Different codpiece than the one I have now, but you'll get the point: http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=12690

Way to go Bryan! Your hard work really paid off. Thanks for being patient with the process

Just two things, and these are more Lancer than anything else, but that's what I have an eye for: Codpiece seems a bit narrow Your bund is hanging below your belt, so it's probably too long But you've done a great job and should sail through basic approval

From another troop, but here you can see the difference between the RS Props and Altmann's

It's always nice to hear the biker scout is the standby kit..... But yeah, for basic you should be fine!

If you want screen accurate then black rattle can is the only way. Pretty sure that's how RS is going to do your lid so you'll want to match And technically the Scouts on the Death Star when the Emperor arrived were not weathered so a CWTB is a totally legit option

I can't see any reason why those would hold up basic approval. Of course, your GML has the final say. but for Lancer there may be a problem getting that tread to match the movie tread, which is why it's almost better to start with a boot with a flat sole.

For Lancer def no mesh. But that's not a requirement for Basic....

I don't see anything wrong with the helmet that would hold up basic approval. You need to of course cover up those bolt covers. Either replace them with the 3M Bolts or try this: http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=12355

Haven't heard that one before. Single layer is fine. You have to be able to sit on it!

Welcome Adam One thing people don't seem to notice right away is that the scout is primarily a soft costume, so your biggest concern is just making sure the flight suit, vest, cummerbund and codpiece all fit well. The armor we have is fairly loose and can be easily sized just by making the straps as long or short as needed. At your height, SC would probably be a good choice.

See if this helps you:

You need holster rivets always. Lancer or Basic

Best of luck with your build! Share your progress pics so we can all learn from you!

I was only asked about 3 specific lids; I didn't forget our Chef

You should be able to get into the Trade Forum now that you have 7 posts. We got a few cobblers in there....

As a detachment, we can only advise you in the building of your costume. The day-to-day rules of trooping are going to be covered by your Garrison leadership. The only weapon that meets the standards of basic approval at this time is the Scout Holdout blaster.

The guy that was linked to above also does the jumpsuits

All of this is my opinion: Of those three, my vote is for Altmann. Best helmet period? The RS Props.
