Biker Scout Armor

[Jkoenig]

I would like to know where to get scout armor. I would like to get 501 approval. Which vendor should I get the armor from? Have been given Walt's Trooper Factory and Studio Creation as suggestions so far. Would like to get going on this this year.

Hello Julie! Welcome to bs.n!

 

"Which vendor..." is going to depend on a lot of things: your body type, budget, time frame, skill level... I see you're in Texas and the two makers you mentioned are in the states as well. SC has proven to make approvable armor over and again. WTF's scout is brand spankin' new. I believe there is only one approved WTF kit in the Legion so far, but others are working on them. WTF is a reputable maker of quality gear.

 

There are a few others, some over seas but shouldn't be discounted if your budget and time frame allow. Chef's Creations, Altmann, and a few others.

 

I highly recommend spending time here perusing the boards before buying a kit. You'll find lots of discussion on makers and their wares. It's unlikely you've a question that hasn't been asked before.

 

If you haven't, I also recommend signing up on the forums of the Star Garrison @ https://www.stargarrison.com

You may have troopers near you who can assist your build, or catch an event where you could A/B different armor in person.

 

Good luck with your project!
