Surprised your GML didnt point you toward a Redkap suit.

Let us know if you have any questions!

Don't look so sad buddy,

I've heard good things about the CB lid. My only issue with it is that it's fiberglass.

Thanks, buddy! Yeah we really don't have many choices when it comes to guitars. So I bought two LP customs, one white and one black!

You know, and this may be just because I troop in one, but I think the KS lid is pretty damn good. I mean, once you change out the bolts, replace the snout and decals and paint the inside black, it's a nice ABS lid that doesn't look too far off from the original. The SC lid looks too small to me, and the visor area always looks too small. The MLC lid, besides being fiberglass and therefore heavier, has an odd shape to the visor that makes it look like the wearer is a very sad scout. A very sad scout indeed! Love to get my hands on an LW, but that seems very remote. EFX is too expensive AND fiberglass. NI doesn't look so hot. The less said about DP and Star Fortress the better. My point is, don't think you are "settling" with the KS. It's a very solid lid!

That's a good looking scout. Add the extra knee rivets, fix the neck, cut the boot soles, add the TD clips and go for Lancer!

My guess is at that size, probably 3. Which is still cheap as heck

My riding patches are a bit on the small side. Probably going to make them larger if I do a new undersuit

Cant recommend SC enough. Great package, and quick turnaround. I wish the chest armor was a bit more accurate, but other than that its a wondrous thing

I have this exact bin right here: http://www.target.co...ic+storage+bins It's cheap and I like the colors, thought they were very imperial. A lot of guys have the big ones with the wheels, yada yada ... the scout costume is light, and those things are a pain to get through tight spaces, stairs and elevators. I just lift my bin over my head and zip around everyone before they've even figured out how they're going to negotiate the next turn down the hall!

Sending you a PM

Buy this instead. It's way cheaper. And the movie scouts wore twill undersuits http://www.amazon.co...d+kap+coveralls Obviously, you'll want the black one

That's true. I've seen a few of the scouts out here drop the vest in the summertime just to remove one layer.

They're like Ewoks -- we get overrun sometimes!

You can see You can sit You can play Twister

Since the strap isnt canon, a lot of troopers use rare earth magnets instead. Does a good job of holding the blaster in place -- but as Chunk mentioned, it's not going to stop a kid from trying to steal the blaster. And they DO try. Often. I rarely ever troop with my blaster or my TD. Tired of the little bastards trying to swipe them.

There's a pattern in this thread: http://forum.bikersc...22&fromsearch=1 I bought my vest from Christian, took about a month to get here to the US. I understand he may be having problems shipping lately though http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=10809&st=0

Yes, Lou! Separated cod Lancers unite!

Congrats!

Wouldn't take a whole lot to push that outfit toward Lancer either. It already seems like a good fit, but just needs a few things here and there.

I hope that's a sign that everyone is interested in pushing their costume to be the best possible.

Thanks, gents!

In the great words of Maxwell Smart, "Sorry about that, Chief." I attached them today:

Okay, here's some updated photos showing things that have been changed. Everything else is same as above. I got new gloves from Wampa Wear. Not nearly as baggy as my SIth Armory gloves: I shortened the vest sleeves, using the scout that cornered Leia in ROTJ as a model. I also shortened the shoulder bells as the movie scout bells are shorter than the ones SC provides Separated bund/codpiece. This is Marcel's bund with a separate cod attached with 2 inch elastic
