As far as I know they aren't done with them yet. I sent them the 50% deposit and was never asked for the rest. Then a few days ago they sent out a progress email.

Can't wait to get mine!

Sending you a PM

My advice is to submit for Lancer. That is a seriously good looking Scout!

My buddy Gabe is a local prop maker and 501st member here in L.A. He was specializing in Snow troopers for awhile but he's now doing scout parts. Hit him up https://www.facebook.com/pages/Maxs-Sci-fi-Creation-Shop/1651285501763603?fref=ts

Hahah yeah you can't really see it. He could be wearing a chin cup and it's just up in the snout where we can't see it.

So that stitching around the vest sleeve is the shoulder bell strap?

I found this picture online. This shot did not appear in the film. I've never seen it before so I thought I'd share. And if you have seen it already, this won't be news. A lot of cool details here! Clear shots of the forearm and bicep armor straps. Nice view of how the pouch attaches to the bund. And there seems to be some sort of stitching around the circumference of the flak vest sleeve.

Yes indeed. My vest has velcro on it to hold the shoulder bell up

The snout looks okay to me. Do you mean it sits too far down in that groove? I have the DVH/Rottie snout so it was fine. Some of the decals are off but you got the Trooperbay ones so you should be okay. Yeah if the hinge bolts are rounded they need to be changed. My KS was held together with rivets so I just painted some 1 inch aluminum discs and glued them over the connection. I assume the inside is painted black and there is no mesh in the ears? Looks pretty good to me dude!

Got any pics?

The rule on weathering: as long as it's not overdone.

Hey buddy I'm in your future garrison. If you need any help, please feel free to hit me up. I know 1 or 2 Kashys that can point you in the right direction

As long as the belt is resting on your hips, that's as good as it's gonna get! Nice work

You don't get anything other than the personal satisfaction of knowing you did your best on your build and hopefully the admiration of your peers (but that's probably a stretch!) You need real suede to get Lancer status. It's a bit pricier but not obnoxiously so. I got a 6 ft sq piece of pigskin for $25 from Tandy Leather. And that was enough for thigh patches, butt flap and some leftover. But the vast majority of Scouts get on just fine with basic clearance. I'm just one of those people that wants to do everything the best possible, so not going for Lancer was never an option for me.

You can tell looking at these four jokers:

Pull up the belt. This is something I see a lot because many of us have bunds that are too long. The scout belt should be resting on your hips. If the bund peeks out from under the belt after you do that, then you know the bund is too long. Other than that, looks good!

The scout used to be the wild west of costumes. Glad standards have been been raised

looking good man!

I posted a pic last week of the MLC, KS and SC side by side. The SC to me looks the least screen accurate: http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=10737&view=findpost&p=116156

Cool. There are lots of tips on the boards about how to make the KS more screen accurate, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask

Yeah I think of the three easiest ones to get (KS, MLC, SC), KS is the best way to go. But if you can get your hands on the LW, by all means....

Since the zipper does not show, nope
