  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. The helmet looks great but ultimately your build is really spot on and works really well with all the pieces. Great work.
  5. 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
  6. Here's a link to the refence photos of the shield if anyone needs them. JFO Shield Reference Photos.zip
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. There sure is a file for the riot baton. It's the same as the one for the Jedi: Fallen Order Scout.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. We know that the buckle is a found piece so that helps minimize the variance of straps. The buckle is an RAF parachute buckle and these were modeled up precisely for the Shoretrooper and Deathtrooper kits. That being said the tab on the back is approximately 4.6cm wide which means that the straps should not be wider than this. https://blasterfactory.com/product/death-trooper-rare-shoulder-buckle-set/ My shoulder straps are 4.4cm wide and 18cm long. The recessed areas on the back that the straps fit into are approximately 4.5cm wide and 0.85cm tall at the opening. It tapers inward so that's a difficulty measurement to get.
  16. Each side (left and right) have 2 pieces which when glued together equal 48cm. The section with the holes will be facing the front of the body and the holes are for attaching the triangular sections. The picture of the model (in purple) that you see above is of the left side of the abs. The right side would be a mirror copy. If you look closely just to the left and right of the back plate you can see the seam where the pieces are glued together.
  17. You can see the image below. there are 2 sections on either side of the back plate. The whole bund zips in the front behind the front ab plate. There are also a couple of shoulder straps to keep everything in place. If you look you can see the seam between each of the printed sections. The extra space on the bottom has velcro which is where the belts attaches.
  18. Thanks. I might update my files to reflect this change. Any way to help minimize post processing on TPU is good.
  19. If you know how much more length you need I can easily adjust the models to extend them for your size while keeping the scale correct.
  20. There are 2 TPU Ab panels per side. They don't meet up in the back and are covered by the back ab armor section. The front also has the front ab section. The larger TPU section is 25.1cm x 22cm and the smaller section is 22.9cm x 22cm
  21. Got some more work done this weekend. Pouches The Pouches are complete and I was also able to get the snap tape added to the trousers belt. The trouser belt will be hidden underneath the armor belt. I was originally hoping that these pouches would be the same size as the ROTJ Scout pouches but alas these pouches were 8.5"H x 7"W x 2"D. These pouches were a bit of a headache to figure out how to make the small side triangle work properly. It seems easy but in reality remembering which flap connects to what and also which side the velcro strips need to go on is a lot to figure out at first. When you build pouches you build them inside out and then flip everything so that the seams and selvage are not visible afterwards. This can be a bit confusing when building something for the first time. At least it's done now. Pattern for main pouch body. Pattern for pouch front flap. Pattern for pouch back attachment flap. Attachment flap with snap tape to connect to the Tassets. Attachment flap and front flap pinned to the main body of the pouch ready to be sewn together. Another picture of the arrangement before sewing. After sewing the 3 parts together as well as a closer detail of the side triangle piece on the front flap. And the backside with the snap tape. It can be difficult to see what's going on here. The finished pouches. Now a couple of pictures of the completed snap tape on the trouser belt where the Tassets will connect to. Test fitting after the Tassets, Pouches and trouser belt were completed. The pouches still need some foam or filler to give them some body but that's an easy fix for later.
  22. I was also able to finish my Tassets today. They have snap tape on the reverse sides to attach to the belt on the trousers. There is also more snap tape on the front where the Pouches will attach. Snap tape is very strong but also allows things to be removed for cleaning. I have an aversion to velcro and try to only use it where it's absolutely necessary. Tassets For each Tasset I cut out 2 pieces of white canvas duck cloth. I had to extend the pattern out about 2.5" since my original pattern was cut too short. I also cut to 2 layers of medium weight batting to fill out the tassets as well as help with the top detail stitching which comes later. I pinned everything together on the sides in preparation for sewing. Remember that everything is sewn inside out so that it can be flipped and the seams and selvage will be on the inside. I almost forgot to sew the snap tape on before sewing the Tassets together. The longer snap tape sections will attach to the belt. The short snap tape is for the Pouches. After sewing the edges you need to cut away as much of the extra batting as possible without cutting into the stitches. This will help a lot when you turn everything inside out so that there isn't a load of bunched up material on the seam. You should also clip your corners. This also helps to create sharper corners when flipped inside out. I now needed to add the detail stitching. The horizontally placed pins help me line up a ruler when sewing to keep as straight a line as possible. It can be a little tricky to get this right. You can see that this is the front of the Tassets because of the short snap tape. Finished detail work. Left side Front. Left side back. There will be more pics once I get them attached to the belt and get the Pouches finished.
