Are you doing the oils technique? Slather on the oil paint, wipe it down and then stipple where appropriate? Looks good, although id probably remove a bit more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Have you asked the local garrison?

Google Stoo’s shoretrooper shack. I believe he’s got a few fixes for the Sean Fields ST files. Nico’s helmet used to be the most accurate. Not sure if it still is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good point too. Levels the playing field for those doing ROTJ scouts, but also for Remnant scouts - but not necessarily in a good way [emoji2373] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was put off WTF, even though they are screen accurate for this costume, as they couldn’t give me a definitive production period despite wanting payment up front. I went with SC as i’d read good things about them on these forums. They shipped bang on time too [emoji846] I went with KeepTrooping for my flightsuit, but if you’re US-based it makes sense to go with what’s local to you and save a bit on postage. Wampawear all the way for the gloves though! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great to see another Imperial Remnant scout in the works. I was wondering the same as Chopper [emoji23] You can probably save yourself some $ and make the boots yourself. I had some reservations about doing mine, but trust me, easy as! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congrats, and well done!

Congrats and welcome! Great to see another dirty scout [emoji846] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great job on the weathering! Thanks for the notes about removing the glove liner. I’ve been contemplating removing mine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry mate, I’m clearly confused. I can only find the armour build and CRL videos. [emoji2361][emoji23] I can post my dressing order if it helps, but no video. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Suit up the same way as in Mickey’s YouTube video, just remember to invert your knee armour, and leave 1-2” between the chest armour and bund. Pouches can go over or under the belt (I prefer mine under). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just slathered it on, but you could dry brush if you wanted to build layers up. When wiping with the paper towel, I dragged the towel in the direction where dirt might gather. Play around with it though, the long drying times of oils means you’ve got plenty of working time. Just think about where dirt might gather. I used a 2nd colour (iirc it was burnt umber) on my first couple of parts, but didn’t like the effect and ended up going with only the raw umber on everything else. I think Christina had a similar experience. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the compliment [emoji846] I used an artist oil Raw Umber. I don’t recall the brand, however it wasn’t one of the more expensive name brands - just a cheap-ish “student grade” brand. For brushes, it was just a 25mm brush from the hardware store. Nothing fancy, just something to slather the paint on. I think I may have gone through 2 or 3 rolls of paper towels for the wipe off.

Always exciting to see a new Remnant Scout build started. Your shopping list is very similar to what I used - my build thread is on these forums if it helps. [emoji846] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congrats!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Drew Check out the PFD DL’s armour build on YouTube for how to reassemble the belt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Drew Just a reminder that the textile drop box strapping doesn’t need to be an exact match to the pouches for level 1. Per the CRL text, which is what myself and the other 2 KFG reviewers will assess your costume against. It only needs to be an off white. Get your boxes strapped up and send us those photos so we can get you out there trooping [emoji846] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Condolences to the family, friends and garrison mates. RIP

Hey Drew Tarok (Rudi) from KFG here. Good to see you start your WIP here; you’re in safe hands. With that selection of costume items your approval should be a cake walk. Don’t let the blaster hold up your costume submission though, it’s not a requirement for basic approval. [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congrats Mike!!

Have a search amongst the military re-enactors groups, you may find a pattern there. Alternatively, provided you have get the dimensions, it’s a pretty standard messenger bag. You could use a generic pattern as a starting point and just add the details. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Kel. And thanks to you too for the advice during the build [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks @Retrofire , appreciate your support through the build [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
