Can someone tell me the difference between neck styles on the flight suit? I have the option of Racer or Flight. Also, if I'm going for ROTJ scout, weathered, which color pouches should I get? White or off-white? I would prefer it all to match if it's just a preference thing. Thanks!

I can’t wait until everything comes in!

I've been observing our local scouts suit up routine during our troops. I've been able to manage getting my TK to a point where I can get it on and off without assistance. But from what I observe that looks pretty difficult with the scout. Is that just their particular builds or is there flexibility in the construction of the suit to allow you to get it on and off without assistance? Points of trouble that I see are getting the bib/short over-jacket fastened as it has velcro running all the way down the spine, and getting the chest/shoulder/upper arm plates pulled down over the head. Do you allow for snaps so those bits can be put on then snapped into place?

Ok cool! I ordered from crowprops. Everything I’m seeing I made the right choice. Thank you!

The boots have slots cut into the heels and toes as seen in the film. What does this mean?

I’m going to go ahead and get his V2. I want to just get it ready to go but it doesn’t look as involved as the tk so I’m just going for it. I am getting the helmet premade by someone in his shop. Thanks everyone for the feedback. I guess I’ll have a lot more posts as I work through the build.

Also I just saw that WTF has his new kits available. Is it up to spec now? After looking at everything I might just go ahead and build it. I’m comfortable working with Walt but want to be sure his new kits are going to be approved.

Ok soft parts, gloves and boots ordered! I’m going for ROTJ scout. I’m going to do the weathered look. Do I need white or off white pouches?

Is there a trusted vendor stateside? I’m ordering soft parts as I type.

So I spoke with SC and a few other folks and I’m not convinced their helmet is going to be the best option. It sounds like it’s iffy on whether or not it’s approvable because of a seam that bisects the top front to back. So does anyone have a sure fire vendor that sells ready to go armor and helmet that will be approved with minimal effort? I know I’ll have to fiddle with things like bolt replacements etc. and I’m fine with that, but otherwise I want to just get something wearable (almost approvable) out of the box. Any other suggestions?

This is the large gray disk on the hinge of the helmet correct?

About to pull the trigger on the full costume. I built my TK from "scratch" meaning untrimmed vacuum parts etc. But for my scout I am more interested in getting going as quickly as possible. I see that Studio Creations has assembled armor for sale. Going to search the forums here for anyone trying to unload their kit possibly. Soft parts from KriptonTop. Boots from Imperial Boots or Crow Prop. Still working through the rest. Links for my convenience: Studio Creations (Do they have the concave bolts for Lancer?)
