Any update pics on this? I would love to see this

That might not be a bad idea, I have about 7 tubes of that stuff left over from my clone build as well so maybe I will do a little practice run with some spare ABS. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thanks for that tip Joe, I actually read your build in it’s entirety because we both had SC so thanks for that, and what you just mentioned actually gives me a lot to think about because when I started this build I told myself that I was going to do everything I could to make it physically look like the on screen costumes, but at the same time I want it to be super durable for trooping and I think this might be one of those parts where as long as the outside is accurate than the I side should matter too much.

Yeah it’s really impressive, I definitely appreciate their knowledge and help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

It looks great, how does the system work? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Cool, thanks a million for all the help. I know I have a bunch or random questions. I’m just trying to take it slow and think of everything I can. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Yeah I’m thinking e-6000 should be good in that case. I’m not sure I want rivets showing on the inside if they didn’t have them in the movie. Especially since my blaster will be in my hand the majority of the time for photos, so that inside holster area will almost act as the outside since you can see directly into it.

That sounds pretty interesting, I have no idea what that is unless it’s an L-bracket like they used on cabinets, but it definitely sounds like they were thinking outside the box with that one. Any chance you have a picture of an example of the Type of L bracket used Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Yeah this one has a slot for the rear area, but the front is free hanging. Rivets would be a no no though correct? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Awesome, as long as it is not going to take away from getting lancer. I think I will fill it in, I need to FILL my time with something while I wait for these soft goods and helmet[emoji16], you see what I did there, lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Ok cool, maybe I will do it. What do most people use to adhere the holster to the plate? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

What are you guys opinions on filling the seam line where the main holster portion meets the plate at the front of the holster. I know it’s not a requirement for lancer, but what are your general opinions on it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Ok cool Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Can someone please help me out with the origin of this photo? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Ok cool, thank you. Does it matter that my lowest slit is slightly larger than the rest? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

So I came across my first snag on theirs build, I remember the SC V1 kit having a different holster set up, I could be mistaken, but I don’t remember having this much trouble trying to get it to fit in its groove. Cutting the slit openings in the front of the holster was a pain in my butt but I got it done, I’m not sure how you all feel about the bottom line being bigger than the rest, but it was crooked originally so my fix was to open it up a bit, I didn’t really want to open up the rest since it is not that open in the movies but now it’s kinda bothering me so what do you think.

Here is my work on the back and tank. I plan to go back and add red to the ends of the knob on the tank when I finish it up this weekend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Awesome, thanks Chopper Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Will do [emoji108] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I just asked him this last week on a PM thinking no one would want me clogging up the post with it[emoji23], very helpful guy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

So my wife and I ordered the red label not knowing there were any options and then I had a mini freak out thinking it wouldn’t match and sent them an email a week later. They said that they all come with a gloss but they will leave a note on my order. I’m not sure if this helps anyone but it made me feel a bit more at ease after reading the other comments in this thread. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

https://www.therpf.com/forums/threads/my-sc-scout-trooper-wip-for-501st-application.267654/ Here is a vague build on the RPF but it shows a bit of the SC helmet build process. My last kit was an SC and the helmet is pretty straight forward, don’t freak out when the face plate doesn’t completely match up with the helmet section cause that’s just how they are. Just use painters tape for a mock up assembly, and 36000 is always a good adhesive when your not sure cause it is very forgiving if you assembled it wrong. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I remember you saying that Gino said all the backs of the armor he saw were different so I’m guessing this was just one of the renditions he saw? It’s completely original to anything I have seen and kinda cool. I’m going to stick with the original style I think but is the red stripe supposed to come all the way down the end of that knob for lancer or is just the top fine?

Thank you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thank you soooooo much for that brotha. I just saved all those to my album.I spent about 2 hours in my hotel room last night trying to track down more of Ginos photos. Seems like there is only the same 4 photos online that he has on RPF and his FB page. Is this the exhibit he had up in Orlando? I remember being in awe of all his pieces but I was side tracked by his Vader’s since I was in the middle of a build and completely neglected to take pics of the scout. Questions on Ginos scout- 1-Would his level of weathering pass lancer? 2-Did he get access to a LFL scout for this build, like he usually does with all his stuff? 3-I hope you don’t mind the paragraphs I have been writing, I know some of you probably check up once a day so I want to get all my questions and concerns to you all in one sitting?
