Whiskey's semi-finished Scout Trooper

Recommended Posts

First off, I'm not much of a poster.

 

I find that I came in a bit late, and it seems like all my questions has been answered. It's just a matter of using the search engine. Believe me, I would've loved to throw out something innovative or inventive to the Scout community.

 

That being said, I used many techniques already established.

 

Well...here it is. I welcome constructive criticism

 

 

I still need to replace the 3m bolts. And looking to pick up TD belt clips

It's hard to tell with the pics, but there is real suede for the riding patches, 2" elastic bands, mud flap, and 1 rivet on either side of the belt

 

Oh and notches cut into the boots and need to find a solution to the camel....appendage

Looking good. Just a few things you need to adjust. The pouchs need to be spread out a bit more and the knee rivets painted white. As for the camel toe try adding a bit of foam behind the cod piece. Just super small stuff! Your there!

Throw some foam in those pouches to fill them out. or hell, do what I did at first and use plastic sandwich boxes. they work well too.

 

Cod strap might be a little tight. You're getting a bit of the CT. Maybe put some sticky foam behind it to reinforce it

 

But nice job overall. You should be able to clear basic pretty easily

I use foam board, hot glue and duct tape to make two identical boxes, so the size is identical. 7d16700d17e11aeacdc0e0341dbe0fe9.jpg1ff49bd507cebc5e1ba6bb7ca6021648.jpgcd5157d5550a6b7c38604c3753c10022.jpg

Then you can put your keys and cell phone in them too

Looking good! As has been said, just a little tweaking and tidying up. I notice a little bunchy-ness in your sleeves. I had a major issue with that and ended up taking my sleeves in a bit.

 

It's nothing that would hold up approval, but if it bugged you, it's fixable.

I saw that as I was putting on all of the arm armor.

 

I was considering adding leg stirrups and now finger loops on the sleeves as well.

 

I should have updated pics this weekend.

 

Thanks guys!

I’m completely redoing my scout....well most if it.

 

Sold my KS and built the RS Scout kit

Waiting to get a few new strider armor parts

Getting a new bund and cod.

Just received the dye for my esprit gloves.

 

And decided to go dirty

Overall, it looks good!

 

You might want to move the pouches in towards the ribs as they still seem a bit far out. Speaking of pouches, what size are they?

 

Also, don't forget to dye those brown bits on the gloves. ;)

Thanks for the advice!

 

I just ordered a new bund with pouches from cheesewoppy.

These pouches are 7â€h x 5.5â€w.

I’ll be sure the new pouches are spaced correctly.

 

Maybe it’s the angle, but I thought I re-sewn them correctly.

Should they be aligned with the outer most stitching?

Yesterday the dye arrived from eBay.

So I’m ready to do this.

The pouches should be about an inch away from the edge of the L/R vertical stitch lines on the bund.

Oh wow, nice find! I ran into a pair a few months ago, but they were a full size too small (I WILL MAKE THEM FIT!!! :) ).

With this and my RS prop helmet and esprit gloves I’ll have a very close to screen accurate scout, once I get the RS armor. 

 

Yes you will! Nice job! I just wish I could get my hands on the actual gloves and boots! Nice additions to have.
