I use a TK talkie for my setup on the Shore and Bikerscout. You can have different costume profiles with it. I used helmet pads i got off amazon. Two of them are placed under the eyes so the bucket rests on my cheekbones and my nose doesn't get squished.

Yes, that's the area. It is wise to hold off and finish the weathering all of the armor at once for consistently. Nice work! Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk

I'd hit the boots with some baby powder to easily get more weathering detail in the creases and elastic. Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk

Great progress! It could be the lighting but the top groove of the tusks could use a little bit more grime in order to be more defined. Glad the sun came out so you spray paint more. I've had so many frustrating chemical reactions spraying this kit. Even after weeks of cure time. Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk

I make my slurry pretty thick and do multiple light passes. Remember, the armor doesn't need to be rock hard - just has to look like it. I'd fill in the back of the sniper knee with the foam and paintable caulk - it's more forgiving than bondo. Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk

What do you think you'll need Bondo for? It has a tendency to crack. For filling cracks/gaps - think about doing ABS slurry or even paintable caulk.

Your build is looking great! Undershirt looks fantastic! Did you have to sew the ribs or was that all just in the fabric? Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk

Nice progress!

Hey Kerstin - after you work on the undershirt and cummerbund, I would move onto the strapping of the chest and back armor. The fit and feel of it changes quite a bit when you get it firmly strapped under the arms. That will help you to then build out the shoulder bells and biceps. The cummerbund is supposed to sit on top of the belt and the belt is "supposed" to be around your belly button. When I did that though, my bund looked stupid small. I cheat my belt down on my hips in order to get a more proportional look for the bund. Hope that helps.

Have you already weathered them? You can really change up the look after weathering. Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk

If the foam isn't an option, you can also snap or Velcro to your shirt. If we can't see the strapping method - it doesn't matter. Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk

You're off to a great start. Don't forget to paint the oblong on the chest black. You might need to shove some foam in the forearms to prevent rotation. Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk

You can buy some nice ones from Mr. Paul. I made my own with some styrene and foam rectangles. Hit it with a few coats of plastidip and paint and it looked fine. Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk

Unless it is spelled out in the CRL, if we can't see it - we can't comment on it.

I went with a TK talkie for sound effects and voice amplifications. Tons of options that I can move from costume to costume. Static bursts might not be cannon for the Shore but it's still fun.

Hi John - let's work together with the GMLs to find a solution to get you cleared for basic! PM has been sent.

I'd go with Mike says - proportions look good!

Hey - you'll want to do a dark brown instead of black for the undercoat. Have you checked a car store for the Toyota red? That's where I found mine. For the blue (which you don't need if going for a grunt), I had a custom can mixed for L2. If you're just going for basic approval, check out one of the Montana gold colors. Use this page for a starter: I used brown duck cloth for my pants - hopefully it's easy to find at most fabric stores. I got mine at Joanns in the States.

Yeah, I don't think you need the primer. The dark brown I used was Rust-Oleum and was fine for plastics. Just ensure that there is plenty of cure time between the enamel and acrylic paint. I'd spray a scrap piece brown along side the rest of the kit. Then, spray the beige on the scrap piece first to check you won't get a bad reaction between the two types of paints.

You're off to a great start. Smart decision to wait for better painting weather. Better to wait and get it done right than to rush and waste time sanding and repainting anyways. Looking at your group shot of paints and weathering cans, will you be adding a can of dark brown for the base layer? Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk

Looking forward to your build! Happy to help when you need it. Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk

This is the way. I got L2 on my Biker so if you need help, let me know. GT also has a Meet and Greet 1/13 if you want to connect with more Bikers.

Hey Matt, there are lots of Biker Scouts in Garrison Titan. Reach out if you need help! Looking forward to meeting you at a troop. Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk

It's not a raised diagonal on the hip armor though, it's a split where two pieces meet up. Also, it should wrap around your body and I'm not seeing that in the photos. When you have a chance to post some pics, we can give clearer guidance. Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk

Can you post some photos of your hip armor? I don't think it's going in the right direction. Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk
