Well It's time to make another , I was going to wander pastures new again after sorting my v1 Aldhani trooper out but I felt the pull of the pathfinders once again*. * Maybe have been glares from @Aradun and @Retrofire 😂😂 So im gonna go remnant scout cos unlike some folks I like sand . Was going to repurpose the rotj but it means too much to me after what I went through too get it so I can't do that. At the planning stage but here goes with what and from where . Helmet - New image Replicas - seems great quality , on the vendors list and made in scotland Neck seal - Imperial Seamstress on Etsy Flight suit - either Crowprops or Keep Trooping Bund - KriptonTop on Etsy Armour Kit - Chef / RS / WTF Boots - Crowprops *. my Aldhani boots are amazing and I know how good his scout stuff is * Blaster - gonna print me a new one cos I can This , as they say , is where the fun begins. Strap in folks

Congrats Pathfinder!

Decided to keep ROTJ as is so can use my shiny new 19x and get a kit to go mando cos dirty Sorry Mickey lol

Sent it two days ago I’ll re do it now buddy

Check ya messages

Thats great news . So Happy that they doing well. Know how stressful its been for you buddy.

Saw that on fb. It’s amazing!!

One way around that is to mark the opposite poles with a sharpie and glue one at a time. This was mine

Hey Pete. Hope u well yeah I have been. Some great stuff

Found some IPA wipes and tried them on a bit of the helmet that had the rattle can acrylic weathering and it’s been able to remove it with no damage to the white underneath. Plan now is clean all the amour with IPA then if I have to repaint the boots or at worse get a new set which tbh I was thinking about anyway bund has none of it so can just dye that and as luck would have it we don’t have a shortage of teabags in the UK. Who knew lol swmbo even has some earl grey bags. So I might be able to pull this off with out a huge expense as the paint for the mando weathering isn’t expensive and is way to get

Looking back into this so any blaster scorching etc would have to be removed first then the desert weathering added rather than go over the top?

It happens also in IRL so amongst other things I’m going to get one of the braces that corrects the alignment by pulling the shoulders back to align it so it ‘ learns ‘ how to be again if that makes sense. it’s just been an issue since I moved up here and had to transition to a desk job in costume I have insoles in the boots which are great but I’m pretty sure now reading your post again that like you say it’s not lined up so pressure on my lower back gets worse. https://amzn.eu/d/d6nJN8f is one I have seen. Thanks MJ

As many of you will know I’m a wee bit chubby and whilst I am losing weight ( slowly ) I have an issue when tripping with the scout where sometimes my lower back on one side will just start to get really painful, I’ve tried gels and painkillers etc and I bought a back brace which is slim enough to fit under the suit and bund and not cause fitment issues but I wonder if there may be a trick I missed. I know I’m not the only one a wee bit hefty so asking for advice from you awesome lot of you are or know anyone who is and has found something to help. Also amongst better diet and excercise which has helped ( had to shorten the TD belt 👍🏻 ) id like to see what others may have found Hopefully someone can TIA

Congrats Pathfinder!! can’t comment on fb cos I’m on the naughty step but well done mate. Smashed it and hope to see you and it soon 👍🏻

Congrats trooper! two rules. watch out for trees and shoot all murderer bears on sight!
