Stroker Posted August 31, 2013 Author Posted August 31, 2013 Thought I would add. Suit,bun,vest,and bucket are by cucblack,armor is SC. Boot I did myself and before anybody ask my blaster is on its way.
Griffin-X Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Looking really good overall. I know what you've been through to get back to this point. Here's a few things more on the look-and-feel tip: raise the shoulders a bit, raise the pouches so the flaps are hidden (like under your chest armor), pull your belt up a tad, and forearms over the gloves.

Got it. Thanks for all the help. I'll get to doing the adjusting tonight and post a few more pictures before I submit my my stuff to the 501st. 1
4505Marcel Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 I would also round off the bottom corners on the shoulder bells some too 1
jyjellyfish77 Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 Lookin good! I was told this with mine, move the thigh boxes back a little so they're more to the middle. Good luck!

Thanks for the info. I'm gonna take the pictures tommrow and post em up back up with all things corrected. I'm gonna fix the boxes from the inside of them to try and keep em corrected.
Southscout Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Your belt could move up a bit, put some velcro on the inside of the front, and on the back behind the TD. Then put a corresponding piece on the bund, one on the front and one in the back (cold be a pain due to there already being velcro for the closure, but it's doable). Just a small piece, say 2"x1", will suffice. That keeps the belt up and if you put them so that the belt is in line with the bottom of the bund (covering it completely) you never have to worry about the bund showing. It's a 15-20 minute exercise, but well worth it
Stroker Posted September 20, 2013 Author Posted September 20, 2013 Here it is again. I went back and fixed all the goofs I made,also rounded off the bells,had to be a bit careful on mine,my arms are a little big and I'm really broad across my shoulders. Plus as you can tell I'm a torso. Also did a little better job on the boots. I tip my hat to Marcel for his MAD cobbler skills. 1
Southscout Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 Huge improvement! But the pic is a bit small so it's hard to check the details. But defitively a huge step in the right direction!
Chef Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 Looking good buddy. You're obviously relatively tall (like me), so I'd make sure your forearm armour doesn't drop down. It wants to sit on your elbow, almost touching the bicep armour, rather than down over your glove. Obviously if it's big enough to touch your glove still, it wants to sit on the outside of it. see here, http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?app=gallery&image=381 I put either a popper or a patch of velcro on the inside of the armour bit and the same on the suit, just to make sure it doesn't slip down. That would be my only observation. Everything else you've sorted.

Stroker Posted October 14, 2013 Author Posted October 14, 2013 http://www.501st.com...hp?userID=16323 I made it! Now I'm just waiting on everthing to get done.
cucblack Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 Wow, you are really tall Tim!!! Your prop looks really good!!!
bjsavage7 Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 That's one thing I really like about scout armor. It can look very good on a person, regardless of height.
Stroker Posted January 13, 2014 Author Posted January 13, 2014 "So your taller than Vader". I get that a lot. Lol 1
