Looks like that thermal detonator will need the tubing replaced. Need suggestions.... for the boots, I’ve been workshopping the horizontal pieces. They have to be flexible enough for bending with the sole at the ball of your feet. So something rubber/silicone. Also has to be thin, like .6mm Been playing with rubber bands and cutting strips silicone mats for kitchen use. Most rubber stripping has been too thick.

For anyone interested.... Imperial boots now has their soft goods available online. Im actually only interested in the vest, but unfortunately it doesn’t look like it’s available to purchase alone. The only part available to purchase separately is the jumpsuit, boots, balaclava, and gloves Their “Diaper” seems a bit tall

Strap it is. Damn peer pressure!!🤪

Beautiful rainy day. Finally getting back to the boots. Finished sewing the second boot. Now going to re-dye the boots a gloss white similar on what they did with the stormtrooper boots. The reference photos we’ve seen has a nice shine to them. Sidetracking on the RS armor “hump”, I sent a request to see if they can ship my back armor unassembled. If they do, my question is to add the black strap or not? Reference images show either one with the strap without the strap screen grab

Was able to work on a little bit of it yesterday. I used 3oz for the shaft, 1/2” strip, and dogbone. And 1oz for the toe cap. The 3oz leather seems just right when it comes to looks, but slightly flimsy. I may re-dye the shaft to match the toe cap. Anything thicker, proves to be harder to sew the overlap on top of the boot Im going to back the shaft with a sort of leg brace made of leather and Velcro around my calf to attach to the holster to keep from flopping around when walking. You can see here there was a second layer of something. Not sure what, so I’m going to adhere a second layer for stability

Finally found time to cut my pattern Sorry. I didn’t take more pics, but I had to re-trim the pattern a couple of times to make it fit better Looking at the screen caps, the 1/2” strip also has a slope and sits below the dogbone After a quick sew...here’s a mock up with a magnet holding the dogbone and strip in place Ill have ave more pics soon

Yay, the 1oz leather arrived for the cap, however the white is a tad dark. Ordered white dye. Hopefully it’ll match the leather for the shaft While im waiting for that to arrive, I began the mods and first coat of black dye onto the esprit gloves. So far, so good. The first coat is done

On the scout page... Hey RS, I am all over this and I need this Scout, but I don’t see this working for me, please help. No problem. Drop us an email to info@rspromasters.com and let’s see what we can work out for you. couldn’t hurt to ask.

Ask if they do payment plans.

Who else got their order in? 😁

Woohoo!! i got my RS scout armor on order. Let the madness begin!!

Unfortunately, 2-3 oz off-white leather arrived, not the 1oz white leather I ordered for the toe cap. Oh well, I guess it’ll be a few more days until my new order arrives. In the meantime, going to create the toe cap pattern. On a side note, I just realized the boots from “what the?” Scout trooper that got the jump on Leia, are the same ones from the myth and magic tour.

Looking at the side view there appears to be an angle cut that starts at the edge of the heel of the boot or slightly ahead of. Did a quick trim This image looks as if the shaft is sewn together with the leather cap of the boot that goes under the dogbone

With the newly announced RS props Scout armor, I’ve decided to start a second build. This one will more or less be a display piece. My hopes is that this would be Uber accurate as I have the espirit gloves and hi tec boots Update: Helmet: RS Propmasters Kit - done Armor: RS on order (dirty) - done Flightsuit: vintage Avirex flightsuit - done Neck seal: Darman -done Balaclava: UA - done Flak vest: Chef - done Cummerbund & Pouches: Cheesewhoppy - done Cod: Cheesewhoppy - done Gloves: Vintage esprit - done Boots: Hi-Tec Sierra sneaker conversion - done Blaster: DVH - done Until the jumpsuit arrives, going to begin with the boots. Would started with dyeing the esprit gloves, but I misplaced the dye. Need to order that again The leather arrived (matches the white vinyl) Clamped over the top of the boots and sewn them down Drew out and cut my pattern Cut out a piece of leather to simulate the tab

The brown strip around the boots is hard rubber. Based on the location of the stitching from the myth and magic reference image, there’s no way I can stitch through that . 🙁

Neat! i didn’t know they were originally stitched. Edit: found th thread. Just bought the leather(s)

Just found a couple of sellers on eBay. 😃👍🏼

The thought has crossed my mind. Who sells white leather?

So I finally landed these (and in my size)! Fits like a glove Because of the rarity of these boots out there especially in like-new condition, I’m obviously hesitant on covering them in contact glue. Looking for alternatives for attaching the vinyl without permanent damage, but strong enough for moderate walking if necessary. The only other choice is low tack double sided masking tape that won’t leave a residue and leave the boots as static for a mannequin. Options? E6000? command strips?

Maybe it’ll help me get to lancer 😃👍🏼

With this and my RS prop helmet and esprit gloves I’ll have a very close to screen accurate scout, once I get the RS armor.

😁👍🏼 it was also enough luck that this *pair is just my size (*stupid autocorrect)

Just picked up this awesome find

I just measured it out. I am at 1â€

Thanks for the advice! I just ordered a new bund with pouches from cheesewoppy. These pouches are 7â€h x 5.5â€w. I’ll be sure the new pouches are spaced correctly. Maybe it’s the angle, but I thought I re-sewn them correctly. Should they be aligned with the outer most stitching? Yesterday the dye arrived from eBay. So I’m ready to do this.
