  1. Yep yep. Here's how mine is set up -- they're attached with velcro on the top tab of the pouch, and attach to the top of the bund. Optional, you can also sew a small square of velcro to the pack of the pouch and bund, which keeps them from flopping around all over the place. Up to you though.
  2. Ah ok, so that would be the same scene as the images below -- Really tough to say. Could it also be an untrimmed lip from the mold?
  3. Based on the helmet, that looks a lot like the stunt armor. What scene is the screenshot from?
  4. The suede riding patch def is one of the most challenging parts of a scout build.
  5. I would think that it's ok, though if you want to post up a photo of the kit laid out, we'd be happy to take a look.
  6. MLC is Mardon, which i believe is based in the Philippines. MC is Mon Cal aka Far Away Creations, which is based in Colorado. Mon Cal distributed Mardon helmets and the MLC vs MC abbreviations have led to some understandable confusion over the years :) Mon Cal is working on finishing his own helmet, which Greeny referenced. You can see some photos of it here: http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/index.php?/topic/20118-mc-scout-helmets-available-interest/&tab=comments#comment-184669
  7. I get why you rigged it up that way, though would check with your GML as well. The CRL actually the language "rivet" in the basic clearance section: "There are only two (2) visible rivets on the belt: one on each side toward the back to connect the webbing closure material to the plastic belt" The inside of the jacket looks ok for your suede riding patch. 👍
  8. Greeny speaks the truth. If you've got a photo color bar, you can shoot the various colors with that, which will help with any lighting and monitor calibration issues.
  9. I think the undersuit is finally finished. Now, I have no more excuses but to start working on the hard armor parts.
  10. Not that I can recall, but if you post some photos of what it the backside looks like, we could tell you if it looks the part or not.
  11. That looks really good so far. Good work.
  12. If that's a studio creations tank topper, it's a very very old one. The new ones do not look like that. https://www.studiocreations.com/howto/bikerscout/forsale_bike_replacementparts.html Jeff from SC is very responsive via email, so if you're in doubt you can send him a note as well.
  13. Hi Cole, thanks for checking in. I recommend not using gorilla tape for the stripes. Oracal vinyl striping tape is a good option. Are you doing 1, 4, or 6 stripes? The 4 stripe variant has thicker stripes than the other 2 types. If you're interested in a lancer build, I recommend that you also look at replacing that tank topper. I appears to be vacu formed? The original was cast in resin. You can ger a replacement tank topper from studio creations. Let us know if you have further questions.
  14. The weave seems fine for the pouches. My only hesitation would be the little brown flecks in the fabric. If you're planning on tea dying them and weathering your armor, then it may not be so obvious. Might be worth dying a test swatch if you want to go that way.
  15. Holster looks good. As for the grass -- nothing a little wet sanding can't fix.
  16. I'd bring it down a tiny smidge vertically, but yeah, looks about right. From the CRL:
  17. Can you post a photo of the boots you would like to use? The sole is the crucial part when considering boots. These boots ar very popular for boot builds and have the right sole color.

  18. What's the maker of that armor, WTF? As MIckey said, you can trim it much closer. Just be careful not to trim is so close that there's not enough to support the center slat.
  19. Hey Alistair, I think I know the video you're talking about. Unfortunately, there aren't any how to dress videos made recently. Are you wondering how all the parts, both hard armor and soft parts, are supposed to fit together? I do have a thread on rigging your gear up so it all stays together -- that might be helpful? http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/index.php?/topic/18894-some-tips-for-keeping-your-scout-costume-together-while-trooping/
  20. Samantha, in addition, you might also want to PM two female scouts that both did sc armor builds. I believe @jen0farc did a SC build a few years ago. Also, @TK-Teri did the Lancer build I referenced earlier. She has the new SC armor. They might be good additional resources for specific questions related to fit and sizing.
  21. And in other news, look what arrived from Wampa Wear!!!! The new version of their Kashyyyk gloves!
