Scout Trooper Helmet Fans.
Drewbacca replied to VMPetrocelli's topic in ROTJ Biker Scout Armor/Helmet
I have only been on 6 troops with my ROTJ Scout and I was worried about fogging up and being too hot. After reading into fans for the helmet and talking to fellow Pathfinders in my garrison, I decided to go fan-less and realised what others have mentioned above. I wear my balaclava so that my mouth and nose isn’t covered and I try to breathe through my nose as much as possible. I learnt this very quickly on the first long troop. -
Thank you! I was looking into what to do next on here so that’s extremely helpful! Will get on to that today.

Hi everyone who commented and offered advice, forgot to mention that my Scout was approved last month and I have already been on two troops. Thanks for the support.

I have better textile material now for my drop boxes to closer match the pouches. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great, thank you. Will look at doing that this weekend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a back up for the strapping (found some in spotlight), so I am hoping to get that done this weekend if possible. Yes I will attach the bun this weekend as well. Is it best to attach it to the vest?

Thanks, yeh I have reached out to Chris. Now I just need to work out how to remove the elastic glued to the inside of the belt and to unpick the stitching around the elastic to attach the cotton. I will post the pics here now that I have worked out how. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you. I wasn’t aware that they were going to that off white - I have checked in with the GML and will apply tea staining if needed. Thanks for the support! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for that... I had seen the instructions and thought I was doing ok but connectivity issues added to my woes... will try again now!

Thank you! Fingers crossed its a cake walk!

Thanks MJ! Hoping the armour isn't too far away now... patiently waiting and looking forward to it.

Thank you for that advice, it does look like a great blaster! I'm looking forward to the delivery from RS!

Thanks Matt! I was just in Edinburgh for two weeks and back at Christmas.

Thank you for the welcome Dart! This blaster searching seems like the fun part....

Hello everyone. I have been studying this forum for some time now, and feel I am finally ready to post here. I have purchased my helmet and armour, which should hopefully be with me soon. After thinking I could have a go at all the soft parts, I have made some enquiries and decided to purchase the soft parts for my first build. I have received my gloves and everything else is on the way. I look forward to sharing my progress and anticipate many adjustments after my recent trip overseas. I am currently working on removing the clips from the gloves and sourcing the EC-17. Parts: Helmet - RS Prop Masters Armour - RS Prop Masters Balaclava - not yet purchased Flight suit and vest - RS Prop Masters/Keep Trooping Cummerbund and codpiece - RS Prop Masters Boots - RS Prop Masters/Keep Trooping Gloves - WampaWear EC-17 - not yet purchased
