@Jennk182 -- file this one away for RF!

Hey Rich, you're in my Garrison. If you are part of the SC build group in honor of Jason, many many thanks! Please join the local Pathfinder Advance Recon Team, Scout Team Six on FB: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1491559237815157/

As long as it's not foam.... But seriously, whether you decide to model and 3D print your own, use one of the existing 3D models (@MrPoopie has a good one) or purchase a kit, I highly recommend giving this thread a good read: There's something to be said for ABS plastic when it comes to the rigors of everyday trooping!

Well done, Chris! Honestly bud, you made it easy for us by doing such a great job on your build. I look forward to your Lancer application PS: I've also updated your status to full Pathfinder!

I wouldn't worry too much about buying a kit you need to assemble. The Scout is a very simple armor to build. It was my very first kit and I did fine! And I had no experience at all with this sort of thing. We are here to help. If you need an assembled kit, RS Props has one on offer and they are in your neck of the woods.

Pull that bund WAY up. It should rest right below your pectorals and stop at your waist. @Chef makes quality stuff so I'm sure you are in good hands

Back to work! Time to repaint the Anovos:

Looking pretty good! Get some stuffing in those pouches. Make sure that codpiece strap isn't too tight!

Yes I'm waiting for @Tarrif to send me his pics

Here you go! http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/index.php?/forum/159-recon-fatale/

On behalf of Pathfinders Command, I'd like to welcome Jenn "@Jennk182" Mair to the team as a new PR Officer. Jenn will be promoting Recon Fatale, the all female Pathfinders squad, as well as helping @Nexous with spreading the good word of the Pathfinders Detachment worldwide through our Social Media. Jenn is probably asleep right now, so let's give her a warm Pathfinders welcome that she can wake up to!

How we doing on this, man?

We usually give a new CRL about a year or so before we consider level 2 requirements. So it won't be something that rolls out when the base CRL is done.

How are we doing on this?

My codpiece is attached to my vest. The strap then connects to the back of the vest, so I put that on first and then the cummerbund.

Is your bund closing all the way in the back? It looks like it was coming open a bit. Or did you just struggle to put it on by yourself? I know that can be a pain to do alone. I usually put the bund on backwards to close it up and then spin it around once I've gotten it closed.

Don't overthink it, bud! That looks good. I have seen a whole lot worse!

Yes

I used to use the hard hat liner, but I found myself getting headaches while wearing it more often than not. I removed it and replaced with helmet pads like these https://www.amazon.com/FMA-Replacement-Universal-Padding-Accessories/dp/B0185O0R6E/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=helmet+pads&qid=1582740026&sr=8-7

Oh my gosh that's right! Sorry we get so many Lancer apps lately its hard for me to keep them all straight. Well thank you for continuing to strive toward more accuracy. Thats a an attitude that I wish everyone would adopt!

The first test fit is always a good time, isn't it? Like you said, bund and codpiece need to come up some more. Pouches need to be switched. Snip those clips off the gloves. Carefully, of course! Looks like it's coming together! Can't wait to see more.

Added to the list!

Hey Chris! I bumped you up to 501st Legion status. Welcome to the Pathfinder forum. Feel free to start a WIP thread so our team can help you out! http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/index.php?/forum/96-biker-scout-wip/

The cable is fine for L2. We don't require the TD be wire wrapped, much less the exact gauge of the wire being used. We appreciate you even making the effort. As we get further away from 1983, it gets more difficult to do things exactly as they were done then and with the same materials. You're doing a great job and I cannot wait to see your Lancer app.

I like the design, but as long as you have multiple helmets on there, why not add a few other Pathfinder helmets instead?
