Dude, you are the one all up in arms. I went and read most of your posts. In nearly every one, you are complaining about something. First off, most if not all of your complaints would have been avoided had you read the CRL before you jumped in to making a scout costume. "No one told me" is not an excuse when it's in black and white. There are numerous build threads here and I'm sure in your garrison's forums. You obviously didn't read any of those, either. If you had, you wouldn't have questions like "how do I attach my holster?" You ask for sources, obviously without searching on your own. This site has been around for years; your questions have been asked countless times before. Patiently, the veterans here have gone ahead and answered your questions or given you links. I personally responded to your thread about the TD greeblies. Nexous told you nearly three weeks ago to contact SC and they would hook you up. I did a 2 second search and found a thread for a guy that 3D prints them through shapeways. You didn't even read the whole thread before you threw your hands up and posted in your garrison's forum. And who did they recommend? SC! And then, THEN you have the nerve to come back here and post that crap about how only your garrison can help you. You know the saying, you catch more flies with honey than vinegar...

I've already reached out to Isaac, and yes he did a great job on his scout! I want to get with a couple scouts and check out their buckets--missed my opportunity at the Diamondbacks SW night when the wife decided we should go to California instead.

Thanks. I should have thought about that. In two seconds I found one on shapeways.

Thought I'd go ahead and post my build progress, such that it is. Completed: Gloves --Wampawear Yes, order a size up from what you think you should, although I guess the liner could be removed for comfort and fit. Mine fit perfect with the liner. Coveralls Tailoring complete; Mandarin collar, riding patches/elastic added. Helmet Altmann received 9/11. Excellent quality, and it fits perfect! Trooperbay decals, DVH Snout, 3M bolts added. Added a hard hat liner (WAY easier than I thought it would be). Blaster -- DVH In hand and looks pretty good! Boots went with DIY and the KMart boots mentioned in the boot forum. Soft Parts Flight suit, vest, and cumberbund/cod/pouches all DIY and DONE! Still working on: Armor SC. Still working on TD and Holster.

I clicked on the links, and they worked just fine. You are right, the link in the first post is broken, but if you had read down further in the thread you would have found the links to the different parts. Here's the link for the parts you were looking for: http://www.shapeways.com/product/3LBDCU9BB/biker-thermal-greeblies-kit Nexous mentioned SC over two weeks ago. Not sure what you mean by no one here offering help.

I would have posted in the under 18 section, but figured here it would get more attention. My daughter now wants a scout to go with my (in-progress) build. I've contacted Walt for the armor, but was wondering if there is a kid-sized holdout blaster available. I thought I saw one when I wasn't looking for it. If not, I'll probably just scratch build one, but would rather not.

A quick search here would have found this thread: http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=12693&hl=shapeways&fromsearch=1

meh, close enough. LOL

I've heard good things about the romfx, but I have an ICOMM and aker set up with a throat mike. Love it. You wouldn't need the ICOMM for a scout, but the aker and the headset Mike that comes with it would work great. The folks in my garrison mostly use the aker setup, not sure about radio shack type gear. I do know that the Panasonic wireless isn't useful if just one other person nearby has one...total cross feedback. Found that out the hard way, so I got the throat mike.

Well, impulse bought some to kick off my build. Ordered the large last week and they arrived today. Will add to the list: order a size up. I wear a medium but got the large and they fit perfect!
