It’s not listed in the CRL but it is what was used in the CRL model which is a part of the CRL. I used the incorrect size on my boots and had to switch them out for Lancer. It was one of the changes I had to make in my app. Thought I’d bring it to your attention so you can make sure to use the correct size now rather than have to remove them again when you pursue Lancer. As for 1/8” to mm, I think it would be 3.175, but I’d double check the conversion. I’m not to savvy on that stuff.

Phil, hang in there brother. You’re nearing the finish line. Not sure what rivet size you used initially, but make sure to use 1/8” rivets when reattaching your holster. It’s a must for Lancer.

Awesome Mickey! Congrats. Now you can use that special badge you have for those who have earned both Lancer and Vanguard! [emoji6]

Hey Paul, welcome. You’ve definitely come to the right place. Be sure to post up your questions. There’s lots of scout here ready to help you achieve Lancer status.

Awesome news Joe. Looking forward to seeing you ramp things up!

Hey Joe! Any word on when your Scout stuff is coming in? I miss seeing your WIP in my notifications.

Looking forward to your getting in the grove again Phil and seeing more progress pics. Let us know if we can be of any assistance with this “wall” you’ve run into with your armor. We’re here if you need us.

Hey Gertjan! I’ve been following your dialogue about the A280. Your comments are interesting. I get where you are coming from. However, keep in mind that game developers tend to keep things simple for cost effectiveness. It makes modeling way easier, which is why the rebel and imperial sniper class both use the same weapons in game. So the developers and artists are not really bound by SW canon in that sense. It will be interesting to see what the final CRL will include as options for weapons for this build once it is finalized, but I’m guessing it might be more in conformity with SW canon than in game options. Time will tell [emoji6]. Enjoying your WIP. Keep up the great work.

I’m curious as to what this extra set of large boxes is for or from. Maybe you could reach out to SC to see?

Hey Pedro! Glad to see you taking the plunge. Sounds like you have a solid plan to start this journey. Be sure to post up any questions you have. You’ll find lots of Scouts ready to help and offer tips and tricks if you have questions about your build. Looking forward to seeing your progress pics.

Hey Mike, if feel your frustration. Sorry bud. If the error is on the maker, hopefully they’ll make things right and recut and resend you the tubes for the boots. If it’s on you because your measurements were off, don’t panic. In either case, the tutorial Retrofire provided you will not only show you how to obtain the proper measurements but it will also show you how to make the tube yourself. It’s pretty easy, and will only cost you about a yard of marine vinyl from Joann Fabrics. The sewing for this portion of the boot is pretty simple too. Seam at the top and attaching the hook and loop. Take it from a guy who made his own boots using that tutorial who never used a sewing machine prior to this build. Post up if you need help and we’ll try our best to guide you through the process.

Dude, your work is always phenomenal. Great attention to detail as always.

Peter, those boots look fantastic. Well done!

Hang in there brother. Once you get everything in you’ll be able to kick it in high gear and you’ll knock out your kit in no time.

Excellent job seaming you’re bucket. Well done!

Man that’s nice! I can see why it’s your fave.

Hey Dave! Welcome. If you’re interested, connect with [mention]tythetrooper [/mention] and [mention]Philscratch [/mention] both have WIPs and are building RWA kits. You may get some tips and tricks from them to help you along with your build. Don’t hesitate to ask any questions and looking forward to seeing your build.

[mention]Zeronin [/mention] Eric, I gotta say the CRL photos of you are just awesome. You’ve really set the standard. Well done brother!

Hey Cory! Welcome to the Pathfinders Detachment. You’re in luck cause the CRL for the Mandalorian Scout just went live. You can check out the CRL here: https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:Scout-Trooper-The-Mandalorian Then be sure to check out the WIPs dedicated to the build here: http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/index.php?/forum/184-the-mandalorian-scout/ Be sure to ask lots of questions. We’re here to help.

That’s great news and kudos to all of the Pathfinders involved in making it happen! Well done!

Hey Art, your build is coming along great. For your cummerbund the ideal length should be about 8 or 9 inches from top to bottom. The bund looks longer than that in your photos, but it might just be the way you have your pouches attached. As you currently have it, your belt would be sitting on top of the bund whereas the bottom of the bund should rest just on top of your belt. It’s an easy fix. 1. Secure the top of your pouches so that the top of the tab comes to the top of your bund. That will lower your pouches. 2. Raise your bund so that the tabs of your pouches sit under your chest armor. That will shorten up the bund and raise it high enough that your belt will be positioned properly on your waist not your hips. It’s a minor adjustment but it will really tighten up the look. Keep up the great work!

Rest in peace Trooper.

And it comes equipped with the coveted neck seal [emoji1787]. Just outta pure curiosity I logged in today to see what differences there actually are from the ROTJ Scout and was surprised by the number of differences: - neck seal - no flak jacket - no mud flap - all strapping is gray - no visible strapping on bicep armor, appears mounted directly to undersuit - TD is reversed - TD end caps are flat not concave - No zip tie on TD - No visible belt clips on TD. - Knee Armor has rivets for upper strap but strap is not visible. - ear holes are closed - greeblie for snout looks different? - 3M bolts appear flat not concave - I think the belt boxes would need to be reworked. They’re a bit more squarish than rectangular. - shoulder bells appear attached to Undersuit? - belt strapping is black - larger rivets for holster? - bicep and forearm armor are incorrectly positioned from ROTJ scout (I.e. rotated too far back). The one thing I do like about the Battlefront Scout over the ROTJ Scout is the undersuit and absence of the flak jacket. It does make for a sleeker and perhaps more stealthy look. How that translates into being more comfy, I’m not so sure. I’ve heard it said that the scouts on set found the neck seals to be hot, but would be hard pressed to quote a source on that.

Assuming that you sanded the base coat and cleaned the gun before applying the enamel, I would give it a light buffing with 400 grit to knock back the roughness, especially over the larger surfaces areas where it’s supposed to be smooth like the barrel and stock. Make sure you clean it thoroughly after sanding before you weather it.

You're build is really coming along Gareth! With regard to the TD, good eye! I can't help but wonder if some of these variations were merely quick costume fixes to address issues during filming. It looks like the zip tie is applied to the right side of the TD only in the photo you provided. I for one can't wait for the CRL for this costume to be approved so we have details nailed down at least for basic approval. It'll be interesting to see how Level 2 certification develops with all these little variations caught on film. Looking forward to seeing your progress on this build.
