What was on screen is a different design than what was originally asked about in the OP.

Do you have a photo?
-
The t-bits are black. Have you looked at the holster section of the scout build video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnipWxolqdU&t=2681s Also you might want to look at the photos from Wide's build thread, here: http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/topic/23660-first-build-rotj-bikerscout/page/3/#comment-227112 Check the post from 23 July 2023.

Thank you for your application. The team will review and get back to you.

Should be okay for basic at minimum.

Check this thread that Mickey posted earlier:

Gree gets around. Biker Scout WIP (WTF and 3d print)
Chopper replied to Gree23's topic in ROTJ Biker Scout WIP
The suede patches look fine, though it will depend on how it looks with you wearing it. Are you planning on adding the thigh straps later? -
As per the CRL, a one or two-piece suit is allowed at both Level 1 and 2. "The undersuit is a one or two-piece black textile suit"
-
This is a very old thread, but there's an image in it that might give you a general sense of the shape. Note that the bottom of the patch should not be flat like they have in the template, it should taper and be more rounded at the bottom.
-
Have you looked at this thread yet? http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/topic/19259-undersuit-mods/

I think you're in the ballpark. You can probably trim them with what you've marked and always tweak them more as necessary once you've removed the bulk.
-
The Red Kap zipper should be dual ended, so for "number 1" you can move the cod over and use the bottom end of the front-side zipper. For "number 2" you'll need to take some of your armor and soft goods off.

Okay, so it's a spot that wouldn't be visible normally? Hard to evaluate without a visual, so I'm just providing some options. Is it possible to get a larger diameter rivet? Otherwise, take some scrap ABS or use a piece of those plastic signs you can get at the hardware store and glue a plate behind the larger hole, then you can re-drill. Or, you can get a set of the 3M bolts and rig them to fit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002BUMS8Y/?coliid=ILTCA2MHBZT97&colid=1FW2Z38AXTS5Q&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it

Where is the oversized hole located?
-
This thread has a good technique to use. It's not the only way, but it is one way to do it. That technique uses oil pants, which is an option. I've also seen it done using acrylic paints as well.

Oui, la taille de la décalcomanie devrait être fixée pour l'approbation de la 501e légion. Je vous suggère également de contacter votre GML de la garnison française pour avoir son avis. https://www.501st.com/members/garrisonroster.php?garrisonId=44

No, you do not have to wear it like the captured rebel. As long as no logos are visible, then you should be fine.

I'm using google translate for this, so apologies if anything gets garbled in translation. Le pistolet a l'air bien, mais vous voudrez peut-être poncer davantage certaines des lignes d'impression. Quel design as-tu utilisé pour le casque ? L'autocollant sur le côté gauche de la visière du casque semble trop grand. Comparez-le à la photo ci-dessous.
-
I can't comment on the boots or the back, since they're not in the photo, but from what I can see, I think your current setup should be good for basic clearance. You might want to pull the front of your belt up a bit and also bring your cod up maybe an inch or two. Everything else I can see looks good.

Is there a "best" 3d model for a scout helmet?
Chopper replied to Pandatrooper's topic in ROTJ Biker Scout Armor/Helmet
That's correct. From what we've seen there is no perfect 3D scout helmet model. All seem to have some level of inaccuracies. A lot of folks have used the Jesus Salomon 3D helmet, but even that one, while totally approvable, is not completely accurate either. @MrPoopie might have additional feedback. -
Okay, I had a chance to look at the photos posted on MinuteFett's instagram on a PC. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cue8hs0Rlxu/?img_index=6 From what I can tell, it looks pretty spot on. I can't validate the claims about the lineage, outside of what the maker's stated, but from all appearances it looks the same as the one's that have come up for auction in the past. If anyone has the lineage blaster from RS as well as one of these, then I'd be interested to see how they compare, so I can add it to this thread:
-
One of the armorers brought that blaster up the other day, but I haven't talked to anyone who's personally handled it yet. The seller does state that it's from a 3D scan of Ira Keelers personal blaster: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cue8hs0Rlxu/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== From the photos it does look close to the original, but I can take a closer look when I'm on my PC later.
-
I think you're all set. Great work on it.

There are a number of options out there -- http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/topic/19003-biker-scout-vendor-list/ http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/forum/156-vendor-sales/ Wampa is what most people use for gloves For boots, you can commission them if you want -- Crowprops makes custom boots, or base boots, or you can check with @Chrisx909x on these forums. For flight suits and soft goods @Chrisx909x makes the suit from a redkap or other suit + cod and bund. Kriptontop on etsy will make them all custom as well. There's also Chef's Creations in the UK, who custom makes the boots and soft goods.

I think you've done a great job. You might want to do a little trimming around the end of the visor shroud on the wearer's right, which I've marked in green in the attached photo. The spacing on the top of the visor and the helmet dome looks pretty tight. Does it open okay?
