    Hey Pathfinders I found a local online surplus store that sells shirts and pants separately and I have sent them an email to confirm if the colors are the same for both items but.. if they are do you think they are fine to use?

    Hey Sac, I am not entirely sure yet but what I am thinking, I am going to unpick the strap it has stitching I can get to. I made a template for the grey vinyl sections Ill take a photo soon so you can have a look, the zip part I am not entirely sure I could cut that part and sew the brown leather gauntlet to it, I am going to ask Matt (Grumpy) before I make a move since his made plenty of glove in the pas lol, Still doing research Ill post some progress shots hopefully soon

    Camo Color Research. Ok so I have been speaking to 501st approved Kashyyyks and armorers on Bikerscout.net. Krylon seems to be the popular brand of choice for the camo painting. Ok so the CRL states: Krylon khaki tan for the base coat. Panzer Olive green or equivalent. Flat Earth brown. So I have made an order for the Krylon Khaki based coat. and I have ordered the Brown and Black I still need to find a flat or matte color that looks like Panzer Olive green still searching. Kashyyyk Trooper Gloves - Update I have almost got all the parts to commence working on the Kashyyyk gloves Grey Vinyl Fake Brown leather (extremely hard to find for some reason) Greebies came with the kit Gloves (on there way and how I found these I searched for winter motorcycle gloves in Australia) Gloves below are similar to the owns I purchased. Glove making tutorial I found this video on Fish's post and on Bikerscout.net great video to show how to make the gauntlets.

    Awesome I have made an order from: http://www.artscene.com.au for most of the camo colors very had to get Krylon in Australia for some reason. Just need a green now ill keep searching might try a local auto store see what they have.

    Thanks Grumpy, Ok so I think I got it lol with my kit there are 2 wide angle bicep pieces and to smaller angle ones. I think you connect one wide angle to one smaller angled together looks more evened for both bicep pieces and ill look into the foam as well I think that would be perfect.

    Hey fellow scouts, I've been doing some research on camo paints and wanted your advice on what you think. Ok so the CRL states: Krylon khaki tan for the base coat. Panzer Olive green or equivalent. Flat Earth brown. I've been looking at Krylon like the CRL stated below I have a test of the Krylon products. The Khaki looks perfect for the base coat? Base Coat Khaki for the base coat looks pretty good ? what are your thoughts please? also What do you think about the brown? Earth Brown and possible green? I was looking at this product as well the brown looks good (Earth Brown #999) I was also looking at the green And I was also looking at rust-oleum camouflage paint For Brown. http://www.ebay.com....n-/271449537859 any help would be appreciated :-)

    Hey guys here's a couple of updates so far. Helmet So I have cut out the eye sockets and the side vents my next step is going to be cutting out a rectangle incision on the visor as stated on the CRL. Hard Armor Ok so these are the parts I have completed I still need to go back and fix the front breast plate armor piece has a little crap. Armor to be completed. This is going to be tricky the back tank piece needs to be trimmed its way to big the the shins, curve pieces also need to be trimmed, this is going to be tough as I don't know how to cut in a straight line lol so the shin and curve piece meet.
  22. THUNDERCAT
    Oh nice I all have to put it into a translator lol I don't speak Spanish but looks great thank you :-)
