Great job!! Nicely done, everyone. Interesting that a second detonator would be needed if someone wanted to switch between their regular scout and this version, due to the greeblies being swapped L to R. Good thing SC sells spare parts! :D

Congrats! Great achievement!

Got my 5-day pass but no lodging yet. After waiting 40 mins in the hotel queue there was only Fri/Sat available so I didn't book anything yet. Hoping the Legion hotel block will see me through.

Just be careful when you drill out the rivets. The rivets heat up when you drill them out, enough to melt the abs they are sitting in. So you might end up with larger rivet holes than you started with - take breaks when drilling them out so the rivet doesn't get hot enough to cause that damage.

I like black plasti-dip interior for the helmet. I recently did this for my TK helmet and I am pleased with how it came out. But really it's just for your own desire as nobody but you and other costumers you show it to will see it. I like a clean, tidy look.

Sorry, didn't realize that!

There's a pair on eBay in Germany currently: https://m.ebay.com/itm/Biker-Scout-Handschuhe-Biker-Scout-Gloves/273165874363

One alternative is to find the authentic vintage Esprit motorcycle gloves they used in production. Edit: nvm, I was thinking biker Scout not Shoretrooper

Well done, Lancer!

I recommend making them. It's a nice little build. Was my first prop painting and was pleased to get that experience. Doopydoos.com does makes resin greeblies for the sub assault / tank assault game.

Trooperbay does personalized decals. Great for labeling each armor piece! L and R indicators too. https://trooperbay.com/decals/personalized/armor-or-costume-tag-decals

Fantastic tips that are great for wearing the outfit and not just for approval purposes. Here is one more that I use: - like stirrups for the feet, I added a small loop of 1/2" elastic to the end of the sleeves that I hook my thumb into before putting on the gloves. This keeps the sleeves of the coveralls nice and tight, avoiding getting bunched up and keeps it down in the gloves.

I like this rolling storage locker from container store, it's what I use, fits everything. https://www.containerstore.com/s/black-ultra-storage-locker-with-wheels/d?productId=11003008&q=Storage%20locker

Great start to your build! Regarding your inability to sew, you could always use this opportunity to learn! That's what I did. Bought a used sewing machine for $65 and watched some you tube videos. Made all my own strapping and even took in the legs of the suit & modified the collar myself. It was not that hard and picked up a very useful new skill. :-) In any case you will love becoming a scout and we look forward to you joining us!
