Looks warm. From the quick glance on my phone it looks good.

Saturday April 12th 9:00AM (PST) / 12:00PM (ET) / 4:00PM (UTC+1) Length: 2-3 hours (depending on interest and availability of staff) Google Meet: https://meet.google.com/iph-uxin-qag (No Download Required) Pathfinders Virtual Armor Party. Everyone is welcome to attend and bring any questions you have about any of the Pathfinders costumes. If you're new to the detachment and this is your first costume build or if you're deep in the weeds with a plethora of costumes but feel "just one more couldn't hurt," come join in. The time gives the best coverage for the US and Europe but everyone is invited to join. While the forum is a great source for just about anything you would like to know about Pathfinders costumes, it never hurts to have someone to talk to directly as well as being able to ask specific questions about your build while being able to see first hand the answers to those questions. Working on armor by yourself can be a daunting task, so let us help with some of that strain. Armorers and Command staff will be available to help you with your builds so come prepared with questions and be ready to work. Or if you just want to say hi to some of the folks you see posting on the forum all the time, now is your chance! If you are unable to attend due to timezone issues please let us know your interest. If there are enough people outside of the current timezone we can always schedule another Armor Party at a later date that will take this into account.

This looks about correct. I'm assuming since you're arm is probably a bit shorter than the screen-accurate jacket that would account for the wrist area that doesn't have ribs being show short. I can't actually count the ribs and stitches but it looks pretty close from what I can tell.

If you run into any other sizing issues with Imperial to metric let me know. I can probably easily adjust the models to accommodate the metric pieces.

The ribs should be just about 1/4" wide (just slightly less if possible).

The pattern that I used was the Simplicity 8705. It's basically a lightweight running jacket. I moved the zipper from the front to the back of the neck and shortened it a bit. It'll be hidden by the helmet and the neck area of the back armor anyway. I also removed the addition of the arm pocket. I suggest making part of the main body out of a lightweight fabric that breathes well. Anything in the main body that is hidden by the chest and back armor should be lightweight and breathable. This jacket gets very hot since it's made out of vinyl (or leather) and the only real place for heat to escape if from your head which is then inside a helmet. It's a bit warm even when it's cool out. If you want to go for accuracy on the sleeves try to stick with the pattern of ribs and stitching below. You don't need to have the wrist zippers but you can if you like as long as they are hidden.

I'm not sure I completely understand your question but I'll try to answer. The holster is indeed 2 pieces. The main body (the part next to the boot) and the section that wraps around the blaster itself to hold it in place (blaster cover). The blaster cover fits into a slot on the main body on one side and is usually riveted to the main body on the other side. I think the part that you're wondering is about the area where the blaster cover is riveted and meets the main body. This is probably the clearest shot of the inside of the holster without the blaster.

Mine is closer to the orange as well.

Good luck on your journey. You've made the right choice picking one of the Scout armors. We all take great pride in this detachment (and forum). If you need any help along the way just give us a shout.

I have a fabric pattern but it's fit for my size. I don't have the exact dimensions right now (on vacation) but I'm 5'10 and around 150lbs. Are you anywhere near that range? If not I can direct you to the base pattern that we used and how we modified it to work for this costume. The biggest issue that you're going to run into is finding a matching fabric. The ribbed vinyl fabric that I used is longer in production. It's possible to make ribbed fabric by hand but it does take a bit of skill and a lot of patience. The ribbing needs to be about 1/4" with minimal stitching lines between the ribs.

My baton is leather straps like this. It works great to hold the baton, but once I pull mine out I find it almost impossible to snap it back in place because of mobility issues and gloves. It's a good thing that it's mostly ornamental and I rarely use it.

PM me and I'll send you a link.

Yes, after Galactic Armory made adjustments to the files earlier this year they will meet Lvl 1 requirements if finished properly (sanding filling etc.)

The helmet looks great but ultimately your build is really spot on and works really well with all the pieces. Great work.

I think they were these pants below, but just about any white "chef" pants would work the same. This pant style made it easy enough to find a matching fabric to make the padded sections. https://www.amazon.com/Chef-Designs-Mens-Pant-White/dp/B00DIA70XO/ref=sr_1_8?crid=1EBN8GIB37NI0&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.KMeFFmyxELPcuw3aqmirzTlbElImq5qnxOMENuPmnVcXN55Nsa9ATu8ume66hPvjJsrJOFaWKoST1lDH9vj1GCviR93pTWV4-qABtVrPor6Th6VwS1VUth1M26H5LMps_wysVz6dPLz1KzhlOGXB1iwMhPrTFlnJl-UIYY67NZ35DSXkCqVw8esdYplgVFCp_cZfrNSnBxiMuS-JS7BJFOFdtUTpiRzI5RzNH-7HhHsrH1LUm4AfpZjJM_qmSHopSxtUncO07NsHyqNR_s5Ri35dBJ8jGLpuBWfulI9_41A.vC60DwAseLVz2bEP4Zv6hOBiRineDZMqQSuE0h5DJlg&dib_tag=se&keywords=white+work+pants&qid=1720794635&sprefix=white+work+pants%2Caps%2C152&sr=8-8

Here's a link to the refence photos of the shield if anyone needs them. JFO Shield Reference Photos.zip

Since everyone was looking for just the Staff and Shield files. Here you go. https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-print-models/hobby-diy/other/jedi-fallen-order-scout-and-patrol-trooper-staff-and-shield Let me know if we need to move this link.

Message me and we can work something out. Before this new PT CRL revision there wasn't a reason to offer the baton or riot shield separately from the JFO Scout, but seeing as how it's used in more than one costume, I'll make new listings.

There sure is a file for the riot baton. It's the same as the one for the Jedi: Fallen Order Scout.

My heel armor plates are just attached to the back of the boots with industrial velcro. Sorry I don't have a close up of my boots and I'm out of town for a few days otherwise I'd pull my armor out and snap a couple of pics.

Sorry, I don't have an experience with the helmet other than working with the 3D files themselves. I've never seen it printed in person. I also don't have the final files just the working files when we were evaluating so some parts such as the bolts were not separate pieces yet.

Indeed I did.

You'll have to ask someone who can make a mold and pull from it, that's out of my range of abilities. @troygordon2 might be able to help but I'm not sure if he does one-off pieces.

It's a little big for me but since the back plate covers the gap there's a bit of play and extra room to make it larger. It could also be made a few inches longer on each side and then just cut down to size for smaller folks. If it was a cast piece you could even include the triangle sections directly on it so that they didn't need to be separate parts which are attached afterwards.

This is a rough one for sure. No words for what his family must be going through. I will say, at least there is closure for them now that he was found.
