Do we need to enter the Convention center first or do we just go to the stairs since they are outside?

I believe I will be there in armor on Friday. Do I need to sign up for this or do I just show up at the stair before 10?

I have gotten some green tinted lens from trooperbay in the past. I don’t know if they have what you are looking for but it should be worth a look.

Hello, I put together one of his scout helmets for my son’s kids kit that he makes which is just like your kit only a bit smaller. I used this video and it answered most of my questions. Be sure to use a good plastic welder to link the two halves together and sand well so the seam doesn’t show. It takes some time but will look good when it’s done!

I did the kids kit and the helmet was also different.

It's been a while but I did decide to go with an Altman lid and it arrived yesterday. I love that I can put it on with my glasses on and it doesn't hurt my head! I was wondering if there are any modifications that need to be done for just the basic approval. I have seen mods for Lancer but since I don't think I can get my armor up to Lancer status I don't see the point right now, maybe later. Also is there anyone who could tell me what lid this is and what it might be worth? I bought it from a trooper and I am now sure who the maker was. It is heavy and is worn but is a nice looking helmet. I have worn it for a for troops. I would consider selling it as I am either going to do that or use it as a decoration.

I have been in contact with Walt who I know makes a good kids kit. How would you say his adults helmet is?

I have an approved scout but I would like to get a different helmet. I bought my armor used and made alterations so I am not entirely sure was set I have. Anyways my helmet is fiberglass so it is a bit heavy and is not comfortable for longer troops. The back digs into my head a bit. I probably just have a weird head! I would like to get a abs helmet that will fit my head and my glasses. My current one does fit with my glasses on. I am worried that the SC helmet will not fit with my glasses on. I am not afraid to assemble it as I have assembled a full TK, my son’s TB and made alterations to my TB. I have looked at the helmet comparison thread but many pictures are not available so it is not completely helpful. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sorry let's try that again http://i1259.photobucket.com/albums/ii548/kolaughlin22/My%20Scout%20Trooper/IMG_0293.jpg

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who helped and everyone whose threads I read during my build. My scout is finished and has been approved. Now it's time to troop in it! <a href="http://s1259.photobucket.com/user/kolaughlin22/media/My%20Scout%20Trooper/IMG_0293.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1259.photobucket.com/albums/ii548/kolaughlin22/My%20Scout%20Trooper/IMG_0293.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo IMG_0293.jpg"/></a>

Yeah the boots aren't bad I actually finished them last night. I am wondering about the TD being an SC because there is no way the greeblies will fit. I just wanted to know if anyone had a suggestion other than ordering an entire TD. It just stinks as I was trying to finish for a troop that's next weekend and for such a small thing as compared to what I've already done.

Ok, like I said I bought my kit used and I am in the home stretch, in fact all I really need to is finish the boots which is no problem and the thermal detonator. So I ordered my greeblies from SC and I just got them in the mail. My problem is that the greeblies do not fit in space as it is only about 1.5 cm (or 5/8 inches) wide. Is this a problem anyone else has had? And if so what should I do? I was told it was An SC kit.

Oh and I forgot to ask what s the best method for the shoulder straps? I have seen using the same material as the cummerbund and using gaffers tape. Just looking for suggestions.

I am almost done. I just need to finish the belt and the then do the boots. Here are the last questions I think I will have. 1. Which boots should I get? I will make the using the marine vinyl but I am not sure which ones will work. Any suggestions would help but these are the ones I am looking at. https://www.amazon.com/Mens-Water-Resistant-Boots-WHEAT/dp/B017THAXTO/ref=sr_1_1?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1501096070&sr=1-1&nodeID=7141123011&psd=1&keywords=kingshow+boots+for+men&refinements=p_89%3AKINGSHOW 2. I am rather thin and I am looking at attaching the straps for the drop boxes at about the same place as I am attatching the back straps. Is that ok or is there a rule as to where they attach in the back? 3. I bought my kits used and the greeblies for the thermal detonator were not there. I am assuming I will need them so I was wondering where to get them. I will contact SC as I see they have replacement greeblies I just wanted to see if there was somewhere else to go. Thanks in advance for everyone's help!

Ok I have the gloves (Wampa Wear) and the undersuit (i Went with redkap) so I am going to get the soft parts started. I have a ton of photos but I was wondering if there are specific How Tos that are good for the Cumberbund and undersuit (specifcally the crotch and neck). I have good ones for the pockets and flak vest. Also what type of batting do you use in the cumberbund and crotch areas. I have seen a few different thing mentioned and I just wanted to ask before I go out to the store for all of my supplies.

Yes I am planning to be at the banquet. I will be trying to at least finish the kids armor so that my son can come along with if we do a troop that he is eligible to tag along. Thanks for all of the advice. I am going to go with the redkap coveralls and order Wampawear gloves. I am still wondering about what type of suede to get for the suit. I saw that the fake suede is ok but there were a couple of different kinds to get. I just wasn't sure which was correct.

Hello I am just starting on my scout as I bought the armor and helmet from a fellow trooper. It is used but I think I can get it up to snuff but I have some questions about what to get for some of the other items. I want to get my soft items but I am not exactly sure which to get. Please note that I am also going to be building a set from WTF for my son so I any advice that would help with that would also be welcome. Flight Suit: I have seen different posts on where to get these but I honestly am looking for one that would take as few modifications as possible. I do have a seamstress that is willing to do the sewing but she has little idea about this outfit so simple is good but I know there will be modification needed. I have looked at both the redkap and mypilotstore.com suits. I was leaning towards the mypilot flight suit (the cheaper one) as I was told to get the kids one for my son and I thought it would be easier to get them from the same place, but I want to get what is best for the project. If needed I am not very big, 5'7 and 140 is all. Suede: I was at Joann fabric and they had different types. Is there is particular one that is needed? If so, which one? Cumberbund: Again what material is used? I haven't seen a thread that says definitively which fabric to use. Vest: I have seen two black T-shirts can be used to help with this. Anything else I should know? Pockets: Same question, which fabric should I use? Gloves: Where should I go for these? I have seen ebay (which scare me) and Wampa Wear. Any suggestions? Also for my son, who is nine and not very big. Keep in mind for him total accuracy is not required but the closer the better if anyone knows. As for the armor set up is there a certain thread that shows how to rig it up? I have talked to troopers about how they can get it on almost like putting on a shirt but I would love pictures to help me out. I made my Stunt TK but that has a ton of snaps and is not easily slipped on and off so I was hoping to make this one a little bit better to get on and off. I will tackle the belt and boots later. Thank you in advance to all who are willing to help. TK-52108
