Whiskeys scout build (almost there...)

[Whiskey]

Just did the unthinkable 

Airbrushed the soles of the boots to make the strips match in color  

The lighting makes it look dark here (bad lighting), but it matches the actual color. 

The wrinkles of the cap goes away when filled

[Chopper]

Really great work there, man. Seriously. Those are some of the best looking boots I've seen in a long time.

[Whiskey]

Thanks chopper!

Still need to weather once the holster arrives. I need it to be consistent with the weathering from RS

Right on. I ended up ordering mine unweathered for the same reason. 

[Whiskey]

Anyone have clear images of the mandarin collar?

 

Looking for just screenshots, production/behind the scenes photos, costume tours, etc. 

Already saw the motm scout, and that does not have one.

Sewing went well. 

Should have the flightsuit done today.

Thanks for all the updates. This is how I did my zip tie so it’s just one instead of the loop.

[Aliaz]

Yeah that is how I did it aswell.

 

The armor Looks great!

The RS holster will fit the dvh blaster nicely 

 

The hyperfirm is too large

Did you not get an RS blaster ? They are the perfect screen accurate size . The singlepoint red dot sight HAS to be exact size , the reason the red dot sight has The top crosshairs adjuster cap un screwed becomes obvious if you try a correct size blaster ..... it won't sit in straight with the cap screwed on !!!!! Lol.

Unfortunately, I did not.  Was hoping it was going to be available again at a later date. 

 

Lol it was 5:30am when I saw the scouts go online and was a bit groggy 🥴

Finished a successful troop this morning 

 

 

Back down to it  

I installed the holster and just finished the weathering the boots

 

 

Have my vest from Chef ready

 

Cheesewhoppy bund needs to be slightly weathered and I’m finally ready for a complete suit up 

 

[Whiskey]

Was really hesitant on doing this, but felt it was necessary. 

Each part is individually stamped and was worried I could’ve ruined one  

 

The thermal detonator needed to have that slight curve to contour ones back

 

Turned out well

 

Just one thing left to do and I’m done 😉

Did you need to heat bend the det tube?

Not yet. 

 

Options:

1) Going to hit it with my heat gun in the center

2) cut and trim and glue with an angle

3) replace the tube entirely with wrapped wire  

 

I have black zip ties, just not the correct ones. I need to pick that up today. 

[CatfoodRob]

Non of the uk scouts have felt the need to bend the det tube , its quite bent already . 

[Whiskey]

Now that I think about it, what I meant was...when you cut the curve, the tube should be bent back more or it will interfere with the belt and will be exposed more. 

 

By bending the tube back, it can seem more flushed. 

[Whiskey]

First suit up

 

Taking a pic by myself with my phone proved to be harder than I thought. 

Will need to do a few adjustments like pull up the cod and pull up the belt boxes and buckle and pull up the boots, etc

 

On the plus side, it’s graininess makes it look like an actual old production photo 🤣

 

 

 

 

[Whiskey]

Lets try this again. 

 

This time I’m using my canon t5
