Hello. Does anyone know of a rubber scout belt? I noticed my belt has several large cracks in them and nothing seems to fix them.

Hello All Just wondering what others do in this situation. I have to manually hold my visor up ( or take my helmet off completely) if Im taking a breather or chatting with someone. I thought about 3d printing some sort of sliding hinge that I can glue in that would hold it up when I need it to. Any other suggestions?

Thats exactly what I was looking for.. Thanks!

What is the zip tie method for shoulder bells? Im intrigued by it.

Thanks for the input. Ill have to ask around, but dont think it would be a problem. Alot of our troops in the area are small scale, fun, troops. Going back to the sound idea... Is there a different set up you would recommend over the amp in the pouch?

I dont really run any sound. I have a mic and amp, and am considering some wireless options. Do you think its possible to send me a schematic or picture of your set up? I also have a pair of binders, thats a good idea. My first thought for a "revamp" was to build a shadow scout, but I decided that was much more of a convention type costume. A DLT-19 wouldnt be to difficult to make either.... I also thought about attaching an ewok to my shoulder or back ( for fun troops) just to add a little bit to the character.

Hello everyone Ive had my scout active for going on 4 years now, and frankly getting a little bored with the standard variation. Has anyone done anything differently to kind of enhance or improve there costuming experience. I dont think my helmet is big enough ( or my head is small enough) to fit alot of electronics in it. Ive tried different costumes and tend to find myself not enjoying it for one reason or another.

Picked up one of these

Nice..that's really cool

Used some bondo spot putty that seemed to allow me to blend.

I'm going to take my dremel to some of that putty tonight and try to make the seams cleaner.

I'm stuck and could use help.. Designed from the above picture. Could use input

Picked these up at the goodwill.. Should be able to make something

Griffin, did it have a stock? Between that one and the one above it that is exactly what I'm looking for. I can't tell from the concept picture of that blaster has a stock or not. Was it molded? Any ideas where I can get one?

Had anyone tried to build this? All I could find were the concept pics but want something unique...ideas?

Ok well I have taken everyone's advice. Stripped the old paint..sanded..washed..repeated. I primed it with a dark grey spray primer and that looked promising. When I applied my black paint I'm getting the same result

What about using dirt textured spray paint lightly on boots?

It's a resin blaster.. Sorry should have mentioned that. I received it from a trooper in Australia when he visited the central garrison not sure of the make

Hey everyone. I'm having trouble painting my blaster specifically the scope. I've used 3 different spray paints. I've sanded. I've scrubbed with warm water and soap and reapplied new paint. The problem is around the grooves and knobs the paint doesn't dry and gets sticky. Any advice?

I was told that I was too shiny and needed some weathering. Can anyone advise me on that?

Thanks everyone. Everything mentioned were things I was thinking about any ways. Planning on putting overalls in and adjusting the suit. I'll post when I'm done

I was just looking for some advice. I'm all done and approved but something doesn't seem right can anyone give me some pointers

I'm getting there, what do you guys think?

Well I bought it from someone on here, so not that long

Sorry for the late post.. I just received my ks helmet today. I'm thinking about installing a fan inside to help with the fogging. Any other suggestions?
