Checking in. Lot's has changed recently. New job with higher pay means faster completion time! I can't wait to start trooping! I'll continue to update this thread with pictures and the checklist.

Thanks brother!

Great! That would be much appreciated!

Turns out my boyfriend has a sewing machine. Neither of us know how to use it, but I'm sure I can teach myself. I'm going to try and attempt to make my own bund, pouches, and vest. We'll see how that goes. Also, I have obtained one of the easier items to acquire: the balaclava.

Updated my checklist. Looking at the RedKap site now. Anyone have a direct link to the exact product I should order? Having a bit of difficulty navigating their site.

Thanks!

Updated my checklist. Anyone have contact info for SC?

Maybe I'll give it a shot! Wow! What a wealth of info in a single post! Thanks! I was reading around the forum and noticed that someone mentioned that the SC helmets run on the small side? How are they with returns should the helmet be too small? I figured as much. That's okay. I might still try it just for the experience. Looks like a lot of fun!

Thanks! I have zero artistic ability or steady hands or whatever when it comes to actual materials and such. I am great at digital art! But unfortunately that skill isn't going to help out much with the build. Maybe I can get some help from the handymen at an armor party? Who knows? Anyone have a suggestion on which piece I should begin hunting down first? Maybe something with a long wait list? Edit*** I was browsing YouTube and found that some pretty amazing stuff can be done using Pepakura. Has anyone here tried doing this? I saw some threads from a couple of months ago but they're all dead now and didn't have any finished results. Just considering this as an alternative to spending so much on a helmet/hard armor.

I certainly am! I've been lingering around the 501st forums long enough to know that this is no cheap task to accomplish! Eventually, I'll be prepared to spend about $1,300 USD on the completed build.

Hey everyone. I've only recently discovered that the Scout Trooper is the trooper I adore the most. This thread will serve as the repository for all of my progress, pictures, and general checklist. Please, PLEASE, offer up any thoughts, help, advice, wisdom, etc. as it will be immensly appreciated. This is my first build and I'm hoping that once it's complete, I'll be accepted into the 501st. It's long been a dream for me.
