rasman06 Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Received my lid and armor from SC tonight. Any advice where to start first for a newbie? Easy to learn my skills, if I have any. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubonos Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Same kit I have. There's a walkthrough on their website for a visual guide of sorts. I sought many references for when their instructions didnt answer some.questions. The lens should be drawn on. Its a pain to cut but the helmet is where I started. I guess I wanted to try on the bucket first. The arm and knee pads are a fairly quick process I found. Sc doesn't put the black border on the snout so you will have to paint that in. For the lens heat the lens very carefully with a heat gun or on a block of wood in the oven on warm for just a min or two. I stuck it with ez600 like.the rest of my helmet and armor. That's a start. Cant wait to watch your progress. Im a new build wip junkie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rasman06 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Before I put the lens in, how does the cutting look? Thanks to Catina Security for showing me the ropes today!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscstaylor Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I wouldn't put the lens in until after you paint it unless you did that already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasman06 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 I wouldn't put the lens in until after you paint it unless you did that already! So, I am new at this biker scout. Gonna weather it a bit later. but I thought they were good to go as they are ABS gloss white? Do they require paint for the approval?

Bubonos Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I dont think it has to be painted honestly. We have a lancer in my garrison and he's one of two scouts who painted theirs, the other being a shadow scout who bought white armor to save a couple hundred bucks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubonos Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 As far as weathering, like a costume guru taught me, I do it naturally. I have a habit of going rogue during troops. Instead of standing there like a wax sculpture posing endlessly for pics, im off playing with kids and parents. I get dirty and beat up during a good troop and the costume takes its licks. I make my repairs and troop on and i have to say, its looking like more and more like i met an ewok after every troop. Bucket and pads naturally scuffed up, cummerbund and boots naturally dirty. Members of my command staff was telling me at comic con earlier this month that I looked like I had been to Endor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

star-trooper Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Hi Ronnie if I am not mistaken, the blaster should not have the trigger. Please correct me if I am wrong guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are correct. Will take it off before I prep and paint. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southscout Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 What color gray are you using for the greeblie? Just normal primer grey will do fine. As long as you keep it close or the same as your visor bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasman06 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 How's it looking? Gotta put a helmet liner in decals on and cut out those ears. I don't like the pads fro SC. Does anyone have a source for a liner? Would love to source one like the originals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscstaylor Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Go to Lowe's or Home Depot and grab a cheap hard hat for like 6-7 dollars then keep the liner out of it and throw the hat away. it's what I did...here's a pic of the inside. Use e6000 to glue it in place. It fits like a glove! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
