A few months back a local was getting rid of his scout armor. Alex (shdwtrpr13) took a look at it and said it would be a great starting point for a build. It was missing the nose greeblie, tank topper, the boots were too big for me, some decals were missing, and bund had wrong stitching. Alex said it looked like an older SC set so I contacted them to get an updated set of decals, nose greeblie, and tank topper. Got the boots and bund from Marcel here on the boards. I've been collecting all that while working on other projects and am now ready to get started in on the completion of my scout.
I have a few questions though before I begin.
The nose greeblie I received from SC is all black. I've only seen a few photos of scouts with all black, most are gray with only the cylinder at the bottom being black. Is all black approvable?
It looks like I'll need to remove the existing pop rivet from the tank, and put it through the new tank topper .
Also from the other build threads it looks like I'll need to source up the clips for the TD as it's only clips now are on the piece of abs that was hot glued to the back of it.
I've already started the conversion of a Redkap jumpsuit, just need to do the mudflap and the thigh patches. I am using the tutorial here to do my flack vest.
