Lawless Scout Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Wondering how they will fix the tank to the back? I also want to know if we can request the offwhite strapping. I only see white in the photos posted. Will they finish the kit lancer specs with the loose tank and correct strapping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrofire Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 RS makes nice armor but please, everyone, keep in mind that even though they may have a âLancerâ equivalent kit it isnât a shoe in. Itâs just as important how the armor fits on you the wearer.Everyone should thoroughly review a potential armor set as itâs a big investment so ask those questions and get all the information before you buy. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilBobTheFish Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I'll just wait and see if they make an armor kit. Building it is half the fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmille63 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Went all in and picked up the full set. Â I've got a few of their helmets and have been really happy with the quality so no worries here that RS will deliver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went full ABS for both accuracy and I also have one of their ABS helmets already and it's top notch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Did they explain what the red label helmet is? I keep seeing references to it on facebook, but no explanation on the site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilBobTheFish Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Quoted from the RS Scout Trooper description: Red Label replicas are true to the original studio made props, but tweaked to better suit costumers. They could be cleaned up and idealised. Or the materials changed. They could even be resized to allow for a bigger or taller trooper. Itâs the props you love, just made for the real world.  Introducing the Red Label Scout Trooper Helmet. This helmet is the same size and retains all the details of the studio helmet it was created from. All the changes are in relation to the construction. This helmet is made from mixed media, comprising of a fibreglass back and cap, with vacuum formed peak and face. Why would you do that? Simple, we have reduced the huge amount of time required to produce the helmet and that allows us to reduce the price for the helmet. Err, Ok, sounds great, but we have seen other fibreglass helmets and they donât measure up to your Pinseal ABS winner. Hey thanks, but donât be put off by other makes helmets, this has had the full RS treatment. The fit, look, size and detailing are what you would expect from us. To finish the helmet off itâs fully lined in the same way as our X Wing helmets, so its super comfortable to wear on a long days troop, something we canât do on a strictly screen accurate helmet replica. If you are not into the new Red Label thing fear not, the Full ABS vacuum formed replica is still here and still available. Just select it from the options above.

rmille63 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 That's the other reason I passed on the Red Label helmet; having worn a MLC biker helmet in the past it gets heavy really fast.  Plus I wasn't sure how well fiberglass and vac-formed plastic was going to look together.

Ru4scuba Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Hi all, Â New to the forum but but not the 501st...been eyeballing the RS kit as it says it is complete and build time is not on my side unfortunately...assuming the fit is correct, Iâm guessing this would be good enough for basic approval...is that a true statement? I keep flip flopping between this, a Kylo or a Praetorian Guard... Â chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of curiosity you said build time is not on your side, the other two you mentioned seems like they would require a build of some sorts weather it be sewing or armor where you planning on getting them premade?  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Plus the quality from RS is fantastic so you wouldn't have any worries there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank75139 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I am curious...what do mean by âdirect lineage?âItâs directly related to the original movie armor.

Chopper Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 They stil offer their screen used TK armor, so it's unlikely that this will be the only run they do of the scout armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
