Imperial surplus has a series of videos on their YouTube for the Mudtrooper. happy to be corrected, but I believe the Shoretrooper straps the same way. HTH Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lol thanks for pointing that out @TreeHuggerMatt and @BikerScout007 [emoji23] always helps if I read all the words in the CRLs. Doh! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Are you sure? That dickie doesn’t seem to have the ribbing the CRL mentions… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I should add that when I do order, I usually do it with a couple of mates. find out if any of your garrison mates are planning to order… Also, is this the last piece of the costume? If not, you’ve got heaps of time…. Else just buy a cheapie and replace it when you get trooping. Things like balaclavas (and undersuits for TKs) tend to be “consumable” [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey mate I’m in Melbs. I’ve got a couple of the UA balaclavas. Generally we just wait until they’re on sale via Amazon, or if you’ve got a Prime account, look for the free or cheaper shipping. Sometimes you’ll find them via Catch too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ah cool. I think that’s similar to Dirty Down, which the UK guys use. [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Really enjoying following your progress. What’s the dirt spray you referred to? I noted it when you mentioned it earlier, but forgot to ask at the time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You say that now [emoji23][emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good luck Stu. Will be following your build closely. [emoji4]

Really enjoying the recording, Mickey. Thanks for making it. I had a good LOL at the missing strapping trip. That’s me with every project. There’s always something I’ve forgotten [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well done lads Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice one, I’ve got Eelco’s files too. You planning to replace the trigger guard with aluminium or similar? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks @FogOut. Your WIP is one of my "go-to" references for this build 🙂

Flightsuit: Manufacturer: Imperial Boots Received: December 2022 I haven't to date seen any Remnant Scout builds posted here featuring the IB OT Tie Pilot flightsuit (admittedly I may simply have missed them), so hopefully these photos will be of use to others. That said, several pilots in my garrison wear the IB flightsuit. According to the IB size chart, I fall somewhere between Medium and Large. Whilst the Medium theoretically would fit me, I tried a suit from a garrison mate which he claimed to be of that size, to find it too small. In speaking to another garrison mate about his large size, at 1.8m (or 6') but with the beanpole frame of a gangling youth, he felt it a tad too big. As I'm 1.76m (about 5'10"), that would be rather baggy on me, and as one wants a more fitted suit for a scout, I took a chance and ordered the Medium. The suit arrived late December 2022, and I was relieved that it fits properly. It's not too baggy, there's no "wedgy", and most importantly I can sit! I'll post up photos suited up in future, but for now the below address how the suit meets the CRL. The CRL appears to be missing some text in regards to the dimensions of the cargo pocket. A legacy of copy & paste from the OT Tie CRL (which is also missing the text). I've assumed it refers to the length of the pocket.

Congrats again, mate! And really impressed with the UKG turnabout time on review and approval. A testament to both your work and the garrison’s approval processes [emoji1303][emoji4]

Helmet: Manufacturer: Altman (Aka Spike on PFD) Received: December 2022 I intend weathering all hard parts at the same time, which will be a later in the year and a subsequent post.

Never before have my kids watched a SW movie or episode and said, “Dad, you have to do that costume next”. That is until they saw the Imperial Remnant Scouts in Mando. So, because I don’t have enough unfinished projects on my workbench I figured, what’s one more… This is my WIP thread, no guarantees on speed or duration of costume build… Hard goods: Helmet: Manufacturer: Altman Pre-weathering photos: here Weathered: here Armour: Manufacturer: Creative Studios Shoulder Armour: build and weathering here Upper Arm Armour: build and weathering here Forearm Armour: build and weathering here Chest Armour: build and weathering here Back Armour: build and weathering here Belt: Build and weathering here Thermal Detonator: build and weathering here Knee Armour: build and weathering here Holster: build and weathering here Soft goods: Flightsuit: Manufacturer: Imperial Boots Out of the box photos: here Balaclava Manufacturer: Under Armour Photo: here Neck Seal: Manufacturer: Darman's Props Photo: here Cummerbund, Codpiece and Pouches: Manufacturer: Kriptontop Out of the box photos: here Weathered: here Gloves: Manufacturer: Wampa Wear Photos: here Boots: Manufacturer: self Build and finishing: here Optional Parts: Messenger Bag ("Tote Bag"): Manufacturer: 1138 Replicas Out of box photos: here Weathered: here Hold-out Blaster: Manufacturer: To be printed using 3D Props NL’s files (probably) Weathering techniques: I’m a fan of Christine’s approach to using oils for weathering. As former scale modeller and having using the techniques on a recent prop, I’ll likely take that approach again for the scout.

Sanotised Creations has one on their Etsy store. https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1034639313/ I know his clone stuff is good, no idea about this though, I leave that to the experts [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Out of curiosity, who’s the manufacturer? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They don’t offer touch up paint mixing? My local will mix up an aerosol provided it’s a factory finish code. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Mickey, appreciate the quick reply [emoji4]

Apologies for necro’ing this thread: looking for confirmation on a couple of items. - is the flightsuit an OT Tie or R1/Solo/next generation suit? - is the neck seal the same as a TK neck seal? And again OT?

Hi Corbin Don’t know how I missed your initial thread last year. I’m originally from Cape Town, so I can empathise to your challenges about cost and supply. Regarding the Ford blue and Toyota red, have you tried the local auto part stores like Midas? They may be able to either sell you some touch up paint which you can run through your airbrush, or a store mixed aerosol. Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I went with 3D props NL. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Awesome to know [emoji4]
