Bobbyns Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 I am curious. About how much does a starter set of armor cost? Also how well does biker scout armor fit the more heftier people Quote
spike Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Hi Patrick, welcome to scouts. post 5 posts and I can show you a larger size armour build cheers 1 Quote
stasz Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Welcome, Patrick! Many things can affect the total cost of your project, such as who you choose to purchase parts from, fiberglass vs ABS, how much of it you're able to - or choose to - build yourself vs buying pre-built (in some cases what amounts to custom-built) international shipping if you choose overseas makers, etc. I would say a very ballpark figure to budget for would be around $1200. Have a look around the forums, see what's out there. If you have any questions, holler. That's what we're here for! Edit: I'm talking total cost, not just the armor. 1 Quote
Bobbyns Posted January 3, 2017 Author Posted January 3, 2017 Which item is the most expensive? Also do the helmets accommodate glasses Quote
stasz Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 The armor kit can get around $500+ USD and helmets vary whatever they're a kit or ready to wear. $200-700. Helmets vary in size as well. I can wear my glasses in my KS, though not comfortably. Tried on a friend's SC and no easy could I wear my glasses. Quote
BikerScout007 Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 I think Spike's helmet will fit glasses. I have known some troopers to get prescription goggles to fit under helmets. Which is even more money $1200-$1500 is a good ballpark, depending on how much you do yourself. The most money is to be saved making your own soft goods and boots. 1 Quote
Bobbyns Posted January 3, 2017 Author Posted January 3, 2017 Hopefully I can make some of the soft parts. My local garrison has two active scout troopers that I can see if they can help me 2 Quote
Huggiebear74 Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 I've got around $1,200 in mine. Good research and questions will help you from making expensive mistakes. 1 Quote
rdraider Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 I'm new to this as well. I'm a big fella too. Hoping that the Scout armor would be more forgiving. Quote
BuzzLiteBeer Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 That and you can sit in them, that also has me considering a scout build too Quote
Lylek Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 I believe in spending money the right way the first time. I was looking into this over the past week, and if I go the Studio Creations, Imperial Boots route --- and a soft goods set and holdout blaster, I got to just under $1500. I'm glad I already have the build tools and supplies, that was another couple hundred alone. Quote
