Easier to use a pre-existing character model I guess

They wouldn't work for Lancer.

Made revisions to the main post based on latest screen shots

As soon as someone with access to the originals can give us the exact colors used, we will. Until then we are taking our best guesses. We can't call an exact paint or Pantone if we don't know with authority what was used. For the Shoretrooper we do happen to know, as Glyn Dillon & Company were very open with us. So we do have a pinned post of exact paints to use. For the Scout, no such luck. Our rule of thumb is match your grays to the gray on your decals.

It looks like from the OP they extend to the sides and then stop

These are perfect. Definitely a few small changes between this and the ROTJ Scout to note in the CRL. The connector pieces for the belt appear to be black. The codpiece thong looks much narrower. The cummerbund ribs don't extend around to the back like we previously thought. Thermal detonator is dot on the left, badge on the right. It's a little hard to tell just how many ribs are on the front of the bund. Any pics that could clarify this would be awesome

Clipping issues with the 3d model I guess. Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk

Okay I found this

Hahaha that's gonna be a great one to try to replicate. What does the TD attach to?

Also I need a shot of the back to see if we can make out the cummerbund closure (if it's possible to see it). Since the ribs on this character's bund go all the way around, there's no guarantee it closes the same way as a regular Scout.

Have we figured out what's holding on the belt yet? Or did they just forgot to add the textures for it?

No butt flap?

Yup. Use the same rivets everywhere rivets are required!

The armor is largely the same. I'm curious about the belt. It looks like it's connected in the back with black nylon instead of white? It's hard to tell with video game captures sometimes. They can have weird clipping issues. Also on the tank greeblie it's doing the thick red stripe going across the dial and no white circle. So similar to the one that Gino made. There is definitely a neck seal on this character so that will be on the CRL. But the biggest thing is the electro-baton, battery pack and harness. Along with the wire running from the battery, down the right arm and through the glove.

Bottom line, with a medium sized head you're going to be fine with pretty much any helmet out there.

When I bought my ammo pouch, I didn't check to make sure the oiler was included and alas, it did not come with it. I was able to get one off eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Yugo-sks-brass-oiler-in-leather-pouch-military-surplus-oil-bottle-/163933429261?hash=item262b319e0d

Folks always ask what rivets I use, well here they are:

Well it only took me about 2 and a half years, but I'm finally getting my Strider holster onto my new boots from @Chrisx909x First I had to make a connector piece from scrap ABS to join the holster frame to the backing piece. Used a heat gun to curve it. And gloves! Don't forget the gloves: I glued the piece to the holster frame with E6000: Then once dried, glued it to the holster backing piece: Before mounting to my boot, I took another scrap of ABS to make a reinforcing piece for the top of the holster to go inside my boot. Again with the heat gun to curve it: Then I riveted it onto my boot with 1/8 rivets and washers: From the inside of the boot, you can see the reinforcement bracket I made:

For you I'd go SC or MonCal

Excellent! Easy pass

But I would say the cummerbund and pouches are a uniform gray.

I will try. I had to play the game a little bit so I could even unlock this character for regular play! And it being one of those multiplayer, battle royale games, it's hard to stand still long enough for screen shots. without getting killed that is

Hey gents! Because I love you guys so much I went and bought the game. Took some screenshots and brightened them up a bit to hopefully bring out some more details. Let me know if you need anything else!

Awesome! Can't wait to see your progress.

Weathering is wrong. Rejected
