Timothys Evil Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Hello Everyone, I recently started a shadow scout build and will keep regular updates and photos to keep my build to the great standard i see everyone else has and hopefully gain clearance once its complete. So far i Have made pepakura pieces and then made plaster molds of those parts to use fiberglass for a stronger armor. I hope to have most of the hard elements complete in a few weeks and then can start looking at the soft bits. Thanks for looking and any advise or critisisum is more than welcome
Griffin-X Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Welcome to Bikerscout.net! Keep in mind the Shadow Scout belongs to the Spec Ops detachment, not the Pathfinders. http://www.501stspecops.com
Ammonites Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Nice! Yea, true, the Shadow and Swamp scouts are technically spec-ops since the prefix is TX, we do the white and Camo here. Wish they could give us all the Scouts... In any case, nice to see a trooper making their own armor like this! 2
Nexous Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Yeah, that's honestly pretty cool! Even if you end up jumping ships to the Spec Op forums, please keep this updated with W.I.P Would love to observe new ways of making armor.
Timothys Evil Posted July 29, 2015 Author Posted July 29, 2015 yeah of course, its mainly to get advise i joined the forum so i wont be jumping ship just yet haha, I build a lot of stuff from pepakura and have had these pieces to finish for a while.
Griffin-X Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I am the web guy for both and also a Shadow Scout. Let me know if you need any help.
Timothys Evil Posted July 30, 2015 Author Posted July 30, 2015 UPDATE decided to make more because they are so much lighter than the original card ones covered in body filler, also a lot stronger. Once these are rubbed down with wet and dry they should look ok. Cant really tell from the picture but there are many imperfections.
Nexous Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 These really remind me of the models that come out of our MJP 3D Printer here Very cool, I'm sure you'll be able to fix the issues 1
Timothys Evil Posted August 2, 2015 Author Posted August 2, 2015 Working on my E11 blaster. not the intended weapon of choice but will do for now. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
Timothys Evil Posted August 2, 2015 Author Posted August 2, 2015 Hey Tim, Which pep files did you use for these?? I think the name was warlock? some of the parts are only the basic shape and took lots filler. Even now they still want work doing, nothing is straight and the helmet is a mile out. Think i will glue that together and fix it, then re mold it again. Ive still the files if you need them. Got lots of starwars pdo and 3D models i work on.
Chef Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 Nah, that's cool... I don't need them. I would love to see some of your progress pictures to date though. It's always nice seeing peoples builds from pep to finished articles. 1
Timothys Evil Posted August 2, 2015 Author Posted August 2, 2015 I will if i can find some off pepakura library im a member of, Had these on a shelf in the workshop for ages along with loads of unfinished stuff. I am a sculptor so do not get much time for personal projects. most of my pep is star wars because i love the films and now with programs like blender etc is easy to hold of 3d meshes. Ive just done the episode 7 stormtrooper helmet and am currently working on the armor files, and a phase 1 animated clone for a friend. I know at some point i will need the T bit and other smaller detail pieces, wont be able to fold those from card and dont fancy sculting something that small lol.
Timothys Evil Posted August 2, 2015 Author Posted August 2, 2015 This is what I want to start next. I have the stl files if anyone has a 3D printer. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
Timothys Evil Posted August 4, 2015 Author Posted August 4, 2015 Episode 7 is taking shape. This is a child's size. Working on getting everything done before the release date. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
Timothys Evil Posted October 9, 2015 Author Posted October 9, 2015 Been a while for posting but I've also been working on a stormtrooper armour but enough of that. Here's my cummerbund finished. Does it look ok Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
Nexous Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 I'd widen the "thong" portion, it looks a little skinny, reminds me of the first one I had. And it looks like the pouches are attached to the bund? That looks nice! Hopefully it won't droop that's the biggest problem most of us have when its attached to the bund
Timothys Evil Posted October 9, 2015 Author Posted October 9, 2015 It needs a bit of adjustments. The chest armour sits higher than I thought so is slightly narrow. Yes the pouches are attached. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
bwattsup Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 The chevron shape on the cod should be slightly rounded instead of pointy like an arrow.
Timothys Evil Posted October 9, 2015 Author Posted October 9, 2015 Have you a reference picture I can use. I'm having to change stuff so might as well do it all in one go. Thanks for the advice Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
bwattsup Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 No problem. I can't seem to find the reference picture I used, but I have it at home (currently at work). I'll post it later for you Tim.
Timothys Evil Posted October 10, 2015 Author Posted October 10, 2015 Cheers for that. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk 1
