Harbinger’s TB WIP (501st/Lancer Approved - but never done!)
Whiskey replied to Harbinger's topic in ROTJ Biker Scout WIP
I’ve seen a screen used helmet. Pretty reflective in person. In these pics I took, you can see the reflection of the interior lights -
ROTJ Scout Trooper 2022 CRL Update - the Open Collar!
Whiskey replied to BikerScout007's topic in Announcements
That’s great news! on a side note: if you’re looking for super accuracy, you’ll need to use an Avirex 5390 flight suit I photoshopped the colors to contras the hidden thigh pockets under the suede and 2” strapping from the Star Wars costume book. I almost missed it until I took a magnifier to it below is not the actual Avirex suit, but a 5390 for reference. mine is dyed black with the suede covering the thigh pocket’s -

I decided to go with Flickr. Leather for the boots are on the way
-
I’m having problems with photobucket. Currently, working on getting rid of the logo. Their website isn’t taking any payments Before: Not too bad! Came right off. Now gotta do some shaving
-
I’ll take lots of pics.

Just picked up a Praetorian blaster. im going to modify it back to its original state
-
Searching isn’t as hard as you think. Just waiting for them to pop up. On eBay, just use the save search option and they’ll send an email when new items appear. make sure you make several searches for the same item. hi tec Sierra, sierra sneakers, Hitec sneakers, etc.., ive passed on several boots. I don’t want to over pay or buy the wrong size boots. Same with the gloves.
-
Finally a second pair....another piece of the clean scout puzzle 👍🏼
-
Boots arrived. Gonna break them in on a quick trip to Lowes. They fit better than I thought and in really great condition. Soles aren’t brittle. Very soft.
-
Yea, checked on eBay and nothing. lot of the local leather stores are closed 😕
-
Stroker, I believe it would be this. I still have a full roll Again, I’m just experimenting 👍🏼 I’m looking at this, I wouldn’t say it’s impossible. Same material draped over leather. Maybe I’ll try it out on my sons (WTF KIDS SCOUT)
-
Agreed, but same thing can be said about creating several elaborate costumes for the dignitaries with less than 10 sec of screen time 😉
-
That’s just a thought...but sounds reasonable. I’ve been wrong lots of times 🤣 in order to see that tab impression, the material has got to be really thin. Im thinking there’s leather for stability. Then added a tab. Then covered with snowtrooper cowl material
-
Yep, that’s them
-
Looking at options for that shine that matches the holster on the boots. So I’m going to experiment with the extra material from my snowtrooper cowl. I plan on adhering over 5/6 oz leather, then following up with sewing See the wrinkle in blue and how you can see the shape of the tab on top of the boots? Im kinda thinking they did the same thing (pay no attention to the yellow, I was pointing out that the boots are the same as in the MOM display)
-
My 4th pair. Seller accepted my offer. 😁 Going to be a little loose, but that’s ok. Now I won’t have to remove the leather from my current boots
-
Sweet!! i think I still have 2 cans, but I’ll definitely hit you up. I’ll know tonight when I get home from work👍🏼

Starting a new WIP thread for my Pre-Pro scout. Criteria....so far Clean High Gloss White Ferrari paint Helmet and armor to match (yep, I’m going there) Thigh armor Holster Straps (no Rivets) No top knee strap - also no rivets Thermal Detonator optional based on image Barcode with some short lines belt boxes at the 10 o’clock and 2 o’clock no tank stripes Will need to get new boots covers, cummerbund , pouches, and cod. I’m going to keep the flightsuit, Sierra boots, and gloves the same. Will need to purchase a new helmet kit and armor. Hopefully I can talk RS into sending an armor kit or get a Strider kit Trying on the thigh armor Thanks to Lonewolf, I have two sets. These look so good, I may just dirty this set just to add to my Dirty Scout on occasion.
-
I believe so. Next, I’m going to start a pre-pro scout with holster straps around the boots 👍🏼
-
Super excited! I just got these from Lonewolf 😁
