The only difference between the two is the painting. You can see my post about it here:

Why, you trying out new looks?

Also confirms what we've been trying to tell folks about the height of the bund and the length of the codpiece!

Found this picture when Scouting the internet today. Thought I'd share.

I think that's better. The width of the codpiece is not an issue for me; you just want to bring it up so that the crescent is not so far down

The one I posted is big enough that -- if you space them out properly -- you can get about 3 Scout lenses out of it.

I use these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Hobart-770580-Shade-3-Face-Shield-Replacement-Lens-for-770118-Head-Gear-/293791871328?fbclid=IwAR3v7oWQbLPvsve55wBPTMwnw37aURK6PSQvVyys8ThbiB8ZBMaBzr22_JQ

Happy Legion New Year, Pathfinders! Seems like we were just here, doesn't it? With so many of us frozen in place due to the pandemic, the last term seems to have gone by with a blink of the eye. And although we accomplished a lot in the Detachment, with the addition of a half dozen new CRLs, the 20th Anniversary merch runs and continuing to add new members -- without trooping it took a bit of the fun away. The postponement of Celebration was also another big blow, but we look forward to 2022 when hopefully the world returns to normal. So what does that mean for the new term? As always, we are here to help you accomplish your goals. The Armor Team is as enthusiastic as ever to provide our membership with the same friendly advice for which we are known. The Virtual Armor Parties were a big success last year, and we will be continuing to offer those, with the next one coming up on March 7th. If you can join us and have questions, please feel free to stop in! The 2020 Racing shirt run was a big success so expect another one to hit around the same time this year --- September or October. And with LFL raising the cap before approval to 250, hopefully anyone who missed out on the last one will be able to acquire one this term. We still have a few CRLs to bang out this term -- the Kashyyyk Officer variant from Battlefront 2, the Treadspeeder Driver and the Mandalorian Shoretrooper Squad leader variant to name but a few. If you want to pitch in, please check out our "Costumes Pending LMO Approval" forum: http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/index.php?/forum/115-costumes-pending-lmo-approval/ Every time we finish a CRL, someone comes along saying "why didn't you include [such and such weapon]??" Folks, it's not a conspiracy. If it was overlooked we are happy to add something in, but if you get involved and help us brainstorm these CRLs, we can get them right the first time. We rely on the community to help us grow! We've added improved email service and so far the results have been outstanding. And though this did add to our monthly costs, our credit reserves are still full thanks to your generous donations over the past few terms. We do have our 3-year webhosting bill coming up this June (hard to believe!) so we can evaluate at that time what our needs are. We know you won't let us down! I'd like to take this time to welcome @Minimo to the Armor Team. He will be doing what he does best: helping potential Shoretroopers achieve their goals. He did a fantastic Vanguard-class build last term that everyone interested in that costume should check out. Joe will be taking over for @ScaryGuy, who has decided to step down from the team to focus on other costumes. Theo has been invaluable since the Shoretrooper was introduced to the Detachment, not only with helping out members with their builds, but with judging level 2 applicants. His efforts will be missed, but he promised us he won't be far! And finally, we are still in need of another PR Officer, so if you are interested, please read the requirements here: So here's to the new term, and hopefully a swift return to trooping! Pathfinders Lead the Way! Mickey Bukowski TB/ST-81974

Hard to tell it's even green honestly!

Wow that's a lot. When I was sending out racing shirts to Europe the price from the US was about $25. Not sure where they are getting $100 from!

Excellent! Great to see you back in the (speeder bike) saddle.

I don't see why not. You can drill out the rivets (hopefully) and just move it over to your new boots. Might be less trouble to get a new holster, but if you want to save money you can repurpose your old one.

Got it! Should be going up in the Hall of Fame very soon. Congrats again and hopefully we'll meet on the dusty trail

On behalf of Pathfinders Command, it is my pleasure to welcome Conrad "order-66" Lujan (TB-50106) to the illustrious ranks of the Lancer scouts! Great job, @order-66!! 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-50106's application here:

I would say definitely go medium gray on the bund and pouches. Boot straps I'm not as sure on. Some shots they look green/sage, others they look gray. I dont think they are white though

There wasn't one in the game so we never added it as a requirement. Our advice is to clear it with your Garrison.

You're very welcome. And I bumped you up to 501st access!

Are you an approved Pathfinder? Do you love Facebook, Instagram and Twitter? Can you write a pithy caption for photos? With proper spelling and grammar?? Then you might be who we need for the PR team! We are looking for a new PRO, specifically to post Pathfinder related photos to our Instagram and Facebook accounts. So images involving the following: New member approvals New Level 2 award recipients New CRLs and First-to-the-Legions Cool shots of Pathfinders at events And anything else that spreads the glory of our Detachment! Prior Legion PR experience is not necessarily required but an understanding of social media and how it works definitely is. If you live in a cabin in the woods with no internet and communicate by carrier pigeon, this may not be the position for you. But you probably can't see this post either! So if you are a social media maverick and are a bit of a self-starter (I don't want to have to walk you through your duties!) then please shoot me a PM and let's talk. Also, because of limits with our Instagram account, at this time we are only accepting applicants living in the United States.

@Chrisx909x?

So which one is this? I thought the officer was what you posted up on May 23rd?

Let's see (these are all approximate) My armor was $700 I think? Boots were $100 Pants were $120 Shirt was $200 Bucket was $500 (2nd hand Anovos) Gloves were $50 Hip armor was $150 Belt buckle was $25, the fabric to make it was about $20 Not to mention all the money spent on paints and other supplies. I'd say my build was well over $2000. Which is not all that unusual.

No worries. "TKID" is just our generic term for the ID number. You only refer to the specific prefix depending on what costume you're wearing. If I'm in my Scout I say I am TB-81974. If I'm in my Shoretrooper, I call myself ST-81974. But my TKID is 81974.

Excuse me! I believe you mean TB 10542! Well done, Edwin. I have bumped you up to full Pathfinder status. Welcome to the Detachment

Thanks for the kind words and support everyone! Running this Detachment has been a real honor, and even on the tough days I still wouldn't trade it for the world. I literally could not do it without this dedicated command team and all the great folks who visit every day and make this the best Detachment in the Legion. I'm going to catch my breath for a few days while the election cycle plays out, but once the new term starts I'm gonna hit the ground running!
