Model looks okay. If the maker is printing in PLA only, then there's the risk of brittleness and warping in high temperatures. Would be curious if there's any reinforcement like a dowel or something in the barrel.

The studio creatons eyeslot is typically smaller than it should be. Your top marking on the final image looks good for additional trimming. As for bit of molding irregularity on the bottom end of the snout, I think that's fine. The studio creations helmet is starting to show it's age, but it still works for many scouts.

Your second image looks good. In the first image the top end should be rounded a bit more. For both, take a bit of 400 grit sandpaper and wrap it around a pen tube and run it around the edges to smooth it out.

The two different shades in your photo should not be an issue.

If that is RS armor, and it looks like it is, then they use more of a cream colored plastic. From what I know of their armor and from what I see in the photo, your armor looks normal.

Hi, welcome back to the world of the legion. Re: photos, we don't have infinite storage space on the site, so you'll need to use external photo hosting. See this thread for more info: https://forum.501stpathfinders.com/topic/23053-faq-how-do-i-post-images/

Hiya, so your boots look pretty good overall. I do want to point out this small detail -- there shouldn't be a square stitched at the top of the velcro. As for how to fix it, you might be able to unpick the square and use a hair dryer to get the indent out.

You should be in good shape with the choices you've made. Let us know if you have questions about fit and rigging up your gear.

The neck seal is optional and the dip in the front is not a problem.

Slits for the armor chest pieces
Chopper replied to Jessica Williams's topic in ROTJ Biker Scout Armor/Helmet
There is no exact measurement, but it should be close to that edge, yes. Doing so should make it look like the reference photo. -

Check these two photos from our Scoutopedia, below. The slits need to be just long enough and just wide enough to fit the 1.5" strapping. Beyond that, there are no specific measurements given. -
Sgt. Bilko’s Mando Scout Build

Congrats on your approval. Well done. -
Any additions of that nature are totally optional. Other tips are here:

Yes. And for the bund.

I suggest that you focus primarily on getting basic clearance and worry about the Level 2 stuff once you're approved. For most scouts the cod is attached to the flak vest or flight suit with velcro. The velcro on the bund should attach to the flak vest. This keeps it from sagging.
