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

It makes a big difference in my humble opinion, boss! The one piece cod/bund doesn't move the same way as the film scouts, and thus we get crumpled cod, camel toe, g-strings, diapers, thongs, and other weird behaviors. I am one of the folks that have separated them and I think it's a lot better. Yes the bund should be shorter. The codpiece on the original scouts actually attached to the vest, under the bund. Mine is velcroed to my undersuit. It's a lot more comfortable too! Since there's not as much yanking and pulling the old scout jewels don't get as roughed up!

Not sure what size you wear, but I found these scout gloves and I preferred them to SA: http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Biker-Scout-Gloves/dp/B00GVLN2P2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1423949928&sr=8-2&keywords=scout+gloves+wampa+wear

Congrats, man!

Congrats! Hope to be right behind you

If you're not going Lancer, then get faux suede.

You dont have to weather your scout, but if you do, the weathering just has to not go overboard. I didn't weather my scout, but I've picked up enough dirt, grime, dings and scratches just from trooping that I havent really needed to!

Their pulls are very rough. But they clean up pretty nice.

KS. It's okay though. I only need my glasses for reading.

Hahahaha, thanks Patrik! If only the glasses would fit when I have my bucket on
