Excellent! Glad we could help. Get out there and make us proud!

You'll want to get a little closer, but you are almost there!

You've got the shirt and pants from IB so you are all good on undersuit!

Awesome! Looking forward to your build process. Just curious -- what is the Scuba suit for?

Totally up to you! We are happy to help shepherd you through the process but I'm sure you'll get some great advice over at UKG too.

With the boots I've had, the vinyl always peels back enough that you can still access the laces if you need to. But I mostly leave mine untied.

You don't need to measure to place them. We have a ton of reference photos you can look at to help with placement: http://www.501stpathfinders.com/scoutopedia.php I usually leave my boots untied, they seem to stay on. I've never had to do anything with the vinyl covering to keep them on. Hiking boots usually have a pretty snug ankle and that's always worked for me in the past. Are you having an issue keeping them on?

Ah well that's a shame, because at least from the front, the Version 2 armor looks so much better. But if you can't make it work, you can't make it work. Looking at production references, you can see that the neckline for the front and back armor are a lot closer to the wearer's neck than the SC armor sits right out of the box. So you have some shoulder strapping you can remove to bring that up a bit. I'd experiment with it with tape to figure out where to cut. As for the sides, there's no set distance they need to be apart according to the CRL. Sure, they shouldn't be touching, but they don't need to be "X" distance apart. There's made to be some play there for when you hop on and off your speeder bike. I'd just carefully remove a bit of it at a time with the Lexan scissors until you've got it just right. SC shoulder bells are always too long; we all end up trimming at least an inch off the bottoms. There's also usually a little bit of plastic on the bicep that can be removed as long as you mind the slot for the elastic strap. Check out the reference photos below!

You ordered that kit new? it looks like the old Studio Creations armor kit -- which is indeed very big and not well suited to you. Their newer kit would probably be a better fit. Your vest sleeves should come about an inch below the shoulder bells. But your shoulder bells need to be trimmed first so I wouldn't mess with them too much yet. There are a lot of reference photos in the Scoutopedia that can give you an idea of proportions http://www.501stpathfinders.com/scoutopedia.php

We only launched it a few weeks ago

Unless you are doing the Mandalorian Scout specifically, I would avoid the WTF armor. SC is way more accurate to ROTJ and doesn't have any major hurdles to achieving Level 2, should you choose to do that.

Badge awarded. Well done!

On behalf of Pathfinders Command, it is my pleasure to welcome Jill "jwnikita" Olsen (TB-71411) to the illustrious ranks of the Lancer scouts! Great job, @jwnikita!! Please post a picture of your coolest pose in this thread for addition to the Pathfinders Hall of Fame. If not, I will take a pic from your application. Check out TB-71411's application here: (and no, this is not an April Fools prank!)

Boiling worked for me. Give it a shot!

Incredible work, man!

If you want to look at photos of a lot of screen used costumes, please check out the Scoutopedia! http://www.501stpathfinders.com/scoutopedia.php

Hi-Tec Sierras are the originals. I know -- I run ST6.

Ironically, he joined ST6 first before coming over here

Yep!

Easiest would be to just put mesh on the chest area like is done with a lot of the Shoretrooper tops

Glyn Dillon -- the costume designer on the new films. He's been very open with us.

Yup we reached out to Glyn like we always do. As long as it can't be seen from the outside as with the actual trooper, you can wear whatever you want. Neck seal. Scarf. Hoodie. Inflatable neck pillow.

Nope that's a great answer. @MandrakeWe just don't know. With the Patrol Trooper the references are VERY limited. Is it reasonable that the Patrol Trooper wears a neck seal like most other troopers? Sure. But we don't have any evidence either way, and the Hot Toys would suggest it's not. However, because of the way the helmet sits, a neck seal would be concealed anyway -- and as we always say -- we don't care what goes on with your costume on the bits we can't see.

Added to the CRL. If you don't see it right away, wait a few hours

Okay bud, I am getting it added in. I'll post up in here when it's done.
