BikerScout007

The suit is OT style -- I believe it was a Wampa Wear but not 100% on that. The neck seal -- when it can be seen -- seems to be fabric. But because they were wearing Mandarin collars overtop of it, in most scenes it's not even visible. So we didn't get too specific.

@MrPoopie -- any pointers for our friend?

Greetings René! First, I have upgraded you to 501st Status. Second, I am assuming you are doing an ROTJ Scout? The best place to start is in the ROTJ Biker Scout armory: http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/index.php?/forum/3-the-rotj-biker-scout-armory/ There you can find everything from vendors to build threads and techniques. You may want to check out the videos on the CRL, as they walkthrough what is needed for each part: And the update video on the collar here: Other than that, I would check out some of the build threads, and when you are ready to get started you should make your own. They are found here: http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/index.php?/forum/96-biker-scout-wip/ One of the best build threads is this one: Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any questions

Hey Charles A lot of it comes down to budget, and the Shoretrooper is definitely one of our pricier kits. Printing will save you money, but you also have to factor in the work involved in assembling all the pieces together, sanding, bondoing and removing the print lines. The best place to start is at our Shoretrooper HQ. There we have a list of vendors and other important things you need to know: http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/index.php?/forum/116-shoretrooper-hq/ Then, it would probably help you to check out our WIP threads. Then you can get an idea of what is involved in building one from start to finish, and the kinds of issues that come up: http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/index.php?/forum/129-shoretrooper-wip/ As an example, here is my Shoretrooper build thread: It took me several months -- I ordered an armor kit from Imperial Surplus and soft goods from various makers, but there was still a lot of work involved. Hope this helps get you on your way!

You're a champ!

Ah you make me sad! Okay @JollyRajR -- you're our only hope!

Looks very good! Can't wait to see the final product.

Please see the link below:

Yeah they look green to me as well...

Turn it inside out and just sew it down the side

You're right -- you seam rip the outer leg. Lay it flat, and then sew on the patch and the elastic strap. When you close up the outer leg, that's your opportunity to tailor it better to you.

Paul's files are a lot more accurate. However, you can get clearance with Sean's. No issue there. Nico's version is also much more accurate and I think worth the expenditure for the STL. I've printed Paul's files for my daughter (sized down to 65%) and they are just very polished. The pieces have interior labels, they fit together well, they have places where you can use use elastic cord to hold them together. It's a great package I've used Sean's files to print out small greeblies and I have printed his E-22. You can't beat the price and the amount of work he put into it for no reward is really quite something.

That's with a helmet though. They didn't use WTF helmets on the show because.... I guess there are some lines even the production wouldn't cross. The RS helmet actually works for a Mando, because they used EFX helmets on the show -- which also have screen lineage. I think the RS TD is pretty brilliant actually. A wired TD is heavy. They wired one up, then molded it to make their fake wired TD, which is MUCH lighter. But here again, we have a difference -- the show did not use wired TDs. They used ribbed hose. Which you would get with a WTF kit. Make sure when you are building this Scout that you are just using the Mando CRL as a guide. It's a different construction than the ROTJ so a lot of things aren't the same. And any questions, just ask!

WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA Sorry I gotta step in here. The RS Props is by far the most accurate set of Scout Armor out there. It has screen lineage, as its measurements were derived from the original suits used in "Return of the Jedi". I will just say that the WTF kits that were used on "The Mandalorian"......are the exact opposite of that. They are so far off the mark that one cannot achieve Lancer status for the Return of the Jedi Biker Scout with a WTF kit. I can't believe the production didn't go with RS, but it is what it is. Given that the RS kits are top of the line and the WTF kit is cheaper, my advice is similar to Corey's -- sell your RS kit and buy a WTF kit. You probably end up with some extra money in your pocket all said and done.

I'm going to add it to the Vendor list

I've been looking to see if anyone makes a fabric one with a velcro closure in the back. Haven't found one yet, but I'll keep looking!

Awesome! I should also have mentioned that if you felt ambitious you could also get a neck seal. So long as it met the CRL requirements!

Not sure if this is available on Amazon in the UK, but I bought this from Amazon in the US for $10 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HNFZ3Z6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

On behalf of Pathfinders' Command, it is my pleasure to promote Andrew "AJay Irish" Irish (TB-12590) to the rank of Ranger! @AJay Irish has completed 100 troops as a Pathfinder, showing true dedication to this Detachment! Congrats, Andrew! Your picture has been added to the Pathfinders Hall of Fame and a Certificate of Achievement has been sent to your email address on file. I've also let @plagu3is know you are eligible to purchase the Ranger patch. Wear it with pride, Pathfinder!

@Chrisx909x??

Okay a few things stand out to me. 1. The boots look short. I would need to see you wearing them, but they don't look like they would come up high enough on your leg. These look jackboot height 2. The boot vinyl seems heavily textured. More than what was used on the show. 3. The cummerbund is too tall -- it goes several inches under the pouches. Here is the CRL bund: @StephTrooper made the garments for the TV show and she kept the bunds between 8-9 inches in height. 4. Your codpiece has stitching around it. The ones from the TV show did not. The line you see there on the left side is the fold in the fabric. 5. Your cummerbund appears to be inside out? The ribs show the stitches on the outside of the garment. They should be on the inside. 6. The pouches look good! So well done there. Hope this helps.

There's no official pattern floating around for the bund, but that's probably because there isn't much to it. It's really just a fabric rectangle. I did one for my daughter here:

Yeah I would not 3D print these. This is a heavy stress part -- you're going to want something substantial holding your TD to your belt.

Congrats!

On behalf of Pathfinders Command, it is my pleasure to induct Melody "KOtrooper" Kollmorgen (TB-38694) into the Pathfinders Hall of Fame as a Lancer Scout Trooper for the "TB - Scout Trooper - ROTJ" CRL! As well as being a Lancer Scout, Melody is also a Vanguard Shoretrooper -- making her one of the few Pathfinders to have an L2 for two separate Detachment armors! She is also DCA for the Shoretrooper, which makes her a great source of knowledge for any new builders of either the Shoretrooper or Scout. Great job, @KOtrooper! You have been sent a Certificate of Achievement to your email on file and your picture has been added to the Pathfinders Hall of Fame. Check out TB-68694's application here:
