That One Scout

havent done the chest/back/helmet yet... wanted to make sure i was on the right path with this stuff before i did that.. is it "Lancer good"?

to quote C3PO "ohhhh no!" i think i got carried away... im so mad... i was gonna start prepping for Lancer too... thoughts?

First official troop is in the books, been awhile since ive posted anywhere on the forums here but TONS of newbie lessons learned.... 1 - Paint my mic wire black incase it pops out under the helmet 2- buy a cheap nylon belt, to hold the jumpsuit up if im wearing it as pants 3- i need to get over the fear of weathering and just bite the bullet 4-antifog wipes for the lens/my glasses 5-holes in the ears for cooling? 6-cooling fans in the helmet? 7-some sort of cooling vest with all these layers on...even indoors in the ac i was soaked 8- taking the helmet off there was alot of condensation on the back... im thinking the fans will help but not sure.. 9- buy some nice "gucci" insoles for those cheap amazon boots 10- secure my EC somehow 11- handlers are clutch and scouts make good handlers for TKs in a pinch 12- should probably strip down to just undies next time for cooling in the suit.

@AradunFF did you ever find a better mic? took the foam off mine and its still quiet

ya, but then i cant use this fancy "material replicator" santa brought me lol

dude thanks alot man!

thanks man! do you know if a file exists that doesnt have the engine? just the flat piece? been messing in cura and searching and cant figure out how to not print that part of the model since i dont need it.

is the Mr poopie snout greeble off thingiverse good? i got a UKwrath audio kit and i dont wanna hack up my SC snout piece to attach it so im looking for a good 3D file.. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2967563

primed with tamiya grey primer, after that krylon satin black. then i used game color 72.054 gunmetal for dry brushing which is alot of what you see with the weathering. after that i used tamiya weatherine master - c item 87085, this was used (the gunmetal and silver on the pallet) to kinda blend all the dry brushing. i used alot more gunmetal from that kit to weather the barrel shroud since heat + paint would weather faster imo. i also used the silver in that kit to kit up all the screws and bumps on the grip and scope. finally from the same tamiya kit "orange rust" sparingly i put it on a few of the screws/surfaces on the lower receiver. the wire around the fins on the barrel shroud is aircraft (or automotive if you can find it) safety wire as well. i wish i sanded the whole gun more but im still happy with the outcome.

still working up the guts to weather my armor but in the mean time i finished my DLT-19x! excuse the messy room..

bought this kit as well, i can say it needs a lot of love to get rid of the print lines. the fitment was off on the parts that had round dimples and holes (used for alignment, the diameters were off)...maybe i got a...dare i say "bad batch" 😉 *dadum-tiss* i personally would send a buyer else where..

started printing the DLT-19.. gonna be about a week or so to print it all. also got the black series scout on speeder with Grogu and the lego scout on speeder bike (the big one not in production any more!)

also in my spare time when im not chasing ewoks and barrelling down cliff sides, im a flight chief in the AF for an aircraft maintenance school. these Airmen are out of basic and come to us to learn their job. most of the time im that guy walking the halls correcting them, last week i walked around and told them to enjoy their holiday leave and wear a mask when back home. even with their masks on it was nice to see them smiling and see another side of me..

so after getting approved its on to "phase 2": weathering and lancer adjustments does anyone have a good tutorial on weathering with a rattle can for these? also as some one stated above, my chest armor does need to come up some, whats a good rule of thumb for the modification, for every inch removed at the shoulder strap it raises the armor 1/2 an inch? in other news i got a 3d printer, still learning it but once i figure it all out a DLT-19 is in my future as well as a new mando:"boba fett after respray"!
