You know I'm in! Awesome!

Been a while since I've had an update but fear not! I've been busy. Cora grew and I need to sew up a shim for her cumberbund. Need to also find gloves and finish her boots. Great kit Walt!

Looking good!

Certainly possible. Part of the conversation replay I got the sense they are taking care of 6+ scouts and they were adamant that they don't have one with a two piece system. That doesn't preclude their being a special version form some key scenes. A stunt version perhaps? I had a similar question about Vader pants and they commented that one-offs were done sometimes if there was a long shooting day and the actor required some special consideration. Again, this comment was In the context of a Vader discussion not a scout but the logic would hold true.

Yup. I agree with people that some of the screen caps and the new costume book "suggest" two separate pieces and Gino has said "they are absolutely two pieces" in his full size scout thread several times. I just find it very hard to now believe this info since we had 4 people who work with these costumes every day say to us "nope. single piece". I can't imagine there is a reason they would mislead us. Hell, we just made them honorary members of the Legion!

Ok, so no trying to start trouble and I'm sure Gino will chime in BUT... Friday we had the great opportunity to meet and speak with members of the LFL archives team who were responsible for the new costuming book. I was not able to attend due to a prior commitment but I had a garrison buddy ask the ever important "two piece" cod and bund question. The answer (to my surprise) was no, the cod and bund are one piece. There seems to be a lot of evidence suggesting the separate pieces but it was a very definite answer these are the same people who handle these props on a regular basis. Other interesting information. The latex and foam rubber pieces in the archives (like Bossk, Greedo) have not fared well. They have an outside expert come in to arrest the deterioration process often but it's a losing battle. They have many scouts on hand (6+ full costumes). Got my book signed by three of the contributors.

One more for ya!

H. E. L. L. YAH!

Lol. Being a badass is fun.

I used Velcro on both my chin cup strap (black) and another little piece underneath. Hook side on the helmet and loop on the face mask. This keeps the seam nice and tight when closed. The hook on the chin strap flows all the way through to the inside where there is loop on the inside of the helmet. This makes the chin strap length adjustable. As far as keeping it open I have no problems with my CB staying open. Maybe the bolts aren't tight enough on the inside?

Great idea! I may mod mine that way too.

Nice work!

Congrats!

Congrats!

Just got the word. Basic approval done! I'm a scout finally!!!
