EC-17 Holdout Blaster

Awesome thank you guys, I think I will help him try chopper’s strategy! Thanks again!

Hey all, I have a friend who recently bought a scout trooper helmet. From made away creations props and he discovered that on the bolts provided with the helmet, there is a small square section near the base of the shaft, and was wondering if anyone else had any information on how to deal with that, I personally used a Dremel with a sanding bit to round the edges on it, but that took a long time and was not very practical, is there any better way to fit a bolt like that into a helmet, or will he have to sand it down? Thanks! Logan

Awesome thanks so much! Exited to finish up and apply!

yup that is, I will have to find a way somehow, any reccomendations?

Hey All, been a while since I last posted, I finally got my flight suit done (I believe), and wanted to check with you guys on how everything looks put together. I am still currently missing a few little things, like the last of the cutouts in my boots, belt clips for the TD, a balaclava, more weathering, and a more secure form of attachment for my cummerbund pouches to my cummerbund/chest armor, I will attach a few pictures in a drive that I would love for anyone to take a look at, and point out any more issues to me so I can fix them ahead of time before I apply! Thanks, and MTFBWY Logan https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/15-42B965MmmOiCvE45qOHH1vZ1RUicd-?usp=sharing

Then in that case, how do you sew it back together, wouldn't you go through to the other side while attempting to sew it back together?

Hey everyone, so close to finishing my ROTJ scout now, but wanted to ask, how did you all sew your thigh patches onto your jumpsuit, it seems like it would be impossible to do so with a sewing machine without seam ripping the entire leg, and the only way to really do it would be to hand sew it, has anyone figured out a better way? Thanks

Oh, ha, that funny, I didn't even think to double check, I must have been thinking of a different piece or something that was only available from England or something like that, thanks.

Hey all, I'm getting pretty dang close to completing my scout up to spec for the CRL and mostly lancer level stuff too (at least I hope), and was wondering about the belt clips for the thermal detonator, I got a 3d printer recently and wanted to see if anyone knew of some files anywhere for the belt clips. If there aren't any, maybe I should learn to 3d model and try to make some myself. Many Thanks, and Long Live the Empire Logan

I would love to see a walkthrough and pattern of what you made for your gloves, they are quite hard to find.

Looking to buy a pistol because I am almost finished with my scout, and wondering where to buy from, i found this on amazon and a few other places and it seems fairly accurate to me, would it pass or should I go with something like DVH. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084P2S91W And if I was to purchase a DVH, where would I find it?

yeah the cod is from IB, it is there although it could probably be a little more pronounced, might see what I can do about it, and as for the cummerbund being low, I was thinking of putting snap rivets on the backside of my chest armor and on the top part of the pouches so that they will hold up in that position, would that be an acceptable way of fixing it?

Here are some photos of my almost finished TB, taken at Denver Fan Expo a little while ago. Just have to get a good pair of gloves, add the holster and blaster, and then attach the butt flap and thigh pads. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1z2gZwZ2EeqPMgeZCqMjsSYxLqWB_aAyc?usp=sharing My build consists of Helmet: Mon Cals Prop Shop Armor: Studio Creations Set Gloves: Not Purchased Boots: Made from scratch with vinyl and work boots. Cummerbund and Flack Vest: Imperial Boots Flight Suit: Kolossus Work Suit from amazon.

Alright thanks that helps a lot, I had been using a blowdryer and my boot just had a couple larger wrinkles near the front, and looking at the pinned tutorial made me think that everyone was somehow getting these perfectly flush boots.

I got some new boots recently and started working on them, but when following every tutorial it seems that they perfectly wrap their vinyl around the boots toe without any bunching, after attempting to do this for about 3 hours, I am seeing if there is anything I am missing when doing these boots.

That actually sounds like it might work pretty well, I hope I can make the surfaces flush well. Thanks

Yes, at this point I can’t return them

That could work, alright thanks!

yeah, this should work? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ILpUNCtew9abhT4sBUZSbNY-gv2q6Z9j/view?usp=sharing You can see, that because of the ridge, it makes a kind of edge around the top of the boot, it shouldn't be a major problem, but it will not be as smooth across as typical scout boots.

So I bought some boots a few weeks ago at a big five to prep for making them, what I did not notice at the time was the boots had a large ridge going around the topside of the boot, resulting in a kind of edge that flattens more near the top, I wanted to know if it would work for basic approval or not, I will probably end up buying more boots anyways because I want it to look better than this but, just as a quick question I thought to ask.

Yes, it is a normal piece of elastic, meant to go through the top of the codpiece, which already has a webbing thong piece to attach to the back of the vest, it is mean to be a belt, but at this point I have just sewed my codpiece to my vest as true to the crl and will not need to use either strap

Hi Guys, I just got word, from vincent that the ribbed piece is a neckseal and the long piece of webbing is for me to wear across the back of my codpiece, I won't really need that because I am going to sew it to my vest, and in response to your question Chopper, The bund, when centered properly, extends about 5.5 inches on both sides, seam ripping seems like the option to go with, and I will be trying it shortly after I finish up my belt. If that is the case with it being a neckseal, I cant really use it becasue it is ribbed and the CRL has no such factor, but it might be useful for something else later on.

Yeah any suggestions for the files being too big.

Hey everyone, my set from imperial boots arrived today just got a few things to do with it and it’ll be ready for trooping, I do have a few questions about it though, I know I will have to see the codpiece onto the vest for best results and buy some clips for the vest and codpiece, and a few other things like connecting the pouches but I also got two straps that I am not sure what they are for, one is a short but wide and ribbed black piece, with Velcro on alternate sides so it can form a loop, and the other is a 3 foot long and thin nylon type webbing with a few inches of Velcro on the end. My final question would be how to shorten the actual cummerbund, because it does not line up in the middle of my back, just cutting and re sewing or is there a better method.
