Hoosier Scout Build!


Burpo

Recommended Posts

I'm counting down the days until I receive my new kit. I ordered back around May 4th and have an ETA of "beginning of June".

 

I'm starting to get soft parts in order. I'll be picking up some work boots today at Wal-Mart, ordering the Redkap coveralls online, and picking up materials for bund/flak/boots/flight suit mods at a fabric store in the next couple of days.

 

It's gonna be fun trying to fit it in between selling Mando Armor, making a new custom Mando kit, and my real world job that has recently been calling for 14+ hour days every day except Sunday.

 

I will be building towards Lancer from the start, so I hope I didn't make a mistake going with KS.

KS will just take a lot more work compared to MC or SC to qualify it for Lancer, but it can be done! Jst post progress, and ask lots of questions. We're always here to help.

Lancer is something to build for, but don't let it become an obsession. I did, and it made my build less fun than it should have been. You can do it, take your time. Get the right size elastic and you'll be golden.

 

Biggest piece of advice: Never rivet or plastic cement anything until you post pics first.

 

Good luck!

I got my kit and work on it here and there I find it intimidating- mainly cause I want this so bad and I am scared to mess it up. I was starting it but then figured I should have my flight suit first so I don't cut things to the wrong size. I read these posts all the time looking for advise

Well, I sent back my original armor set, but I kept the helmet. Ordered from SC, and it will be here tomorrow! I've done a little trimming on the helmet kit, but I don't have a lot of time to sit and work on it and I haven't found a good KS bucket build tutorial yet.

Wow, that got away from me... 0% completion so far. 😂

Dug it all out yesterday and ordered all my velcro, elastic, material, etc. I guess sitting in a box for 4.5 years isn't too bad, right? 🙄

Better late than never!   We've learned a whole lot about the Scout costume since 2015 and we've got a crack Armory Team on hand to help.
