JediChewie Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I actually used the hole provided in the tank topper. After much self debate. I couldn't find a reference pic at a good enough angle to determine whether it is centered or not on the screen used. If I remember correctly, I measured the hole at was off centered by no more than 1/8 inch. And the mark was not centered either. Quote
Sith Lord Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 Finished spraypainting the snout. Time to attach the greeblie. Sith Lord Quote
Sith Lord Posted March 15, 2015 Author Posted March 15, 2015 Used E6000 and a screw to attach the greeblie. Sith Lord Quote
spookymufu Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 on most scout helmets, the black from the snout is partially out on the flat part of the edge and not so much along the inner edge, but you did a much cleaner edge then I did the first time Quote
Sith Lord Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 Finished puting on the decals. Have allso spraypainted the inside black. And spraypainted the bolts grey. Sith Lord 1 Quote
Bubonos Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 on most scout helmets, the black from the snout is partially out on the flat part of the edge and not so much along the inner edge, but you did a much cleaner edge then I did the first time That was something I had to go back and add for approval myself. Luckily I was in constant contact with my gml and he walked me through my build so I wouldn't have to do touch ups after submitting my pics. Quote
Bubonos Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 You may wanna double check just in case and save yourself time and aggravation. But build is looking great! Its these wips that give you the advice you may need. Love seeing new builds, keep the pics coming! Quote
Sith Lord Posted April 10, 2015 Author Posted April 10, 2015 I think I'm going to take inn the legs of the suit a bit. I think they look a litle to baggy. Any coments? Sith Lord Quote
Ammonites Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Planning on doing your cummerbund yourself? Looks excellent so far. 1 Quote
stasz Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Looking good! I don't think it would hurt to take in the legs a bit. I took in the legs (and arms) on my redkap. I also added stirrups to help keep the legs from poofing up over the knee armor. Only thing that jumps out to me would be to level out your thigh boxes, but that's one of those things that'll need to be tweaked every time you suit up. Nice job, brother! Quote
Sith Lord Posted April 10, 2015 Author Posted April 10, 2015 Yes. I'm going to make the cummerbund myself. Sith Lord Quote
Sith Lord Posted April 10, 2015 Author Posted April 10, 2015 Thanks for the tip with the stirrups, Stasz. I'm going to attach that to my jumpsuit. Sith Lord Quote
stasz Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Thanks for the tip with the stirrups, Stasz. I'm going to attach that to my jumpsuit. Sith Lord You bet! I would recommend sizing the stirrups standing AND while crouched or kneeling, and choose a measurement in between. I first measured mine just standing, and when I knelt down they pulled so tight one ripped off 1 Quote
Kelsey Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 I agree that the legs look a bit baggy and bunched at the knees. Make sure you have full range of movement i.e. crouching, when making any adjustments. I'd do a loose stitch (easy to rip out) try on again, pose like a boss, then if satisfied, final stitching/surging. I've been too pedal happy before! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote
Southscout Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Yes. I'm going to make the cummerbund myself. Sith Lord I made a how-to a while back if you need some advice: http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=10334 1 Quote
Sith Lord Posted April 14, 2015 Author Posted April 14, 2015 I cant see the pictures in the how-to. They seem to be gone. Sith Lord Quote
Southscout Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Strange. I can see them. do they work like this: http://s1241.photobucket.com/user/Southscout1/media/P1000301.jpg.html http://s1241.photobucket.com/user/Southscout1/media/P1000302.jpg.html http://s1241.photobucket.com/user/Southscout1/media/P1000303.jpg.html http://s1241.photobucket.com/user/Southscout1/media/P1000304.jpg.html http://s1241.photobucket.com/user/Southscout1/media/P1000300.jpg.html http://s1241.photobucket.com/user/Southscout1/media/P1000308.jpg.html http://s1241.photobucket.com/user/Southscout1/media/P1000309.jpg.html Quote
Sith Lord Posted April 14, 2015 Author Posted April 14, 2015 They work like this and now they allso work in the how-to. Sith Lord Quote
Sith Lord Posted April 14, 2015 Author Posted April 14, 2015 In the 501st costume reference library, it says to use cotton fabric. I see in the how-to, that you used beaver nylon. Is that aproved? And why did you use it. Is the beaver nylon more tough and durable? Sith Lord Quote
