jennyruth Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 I still have to add the holster, and I ran out of elastic for the top of one knee. Also definitely need to make some adjustments and trouble shoot some issues. But, wanted to check on the progress so far. I think the flap may be a little long.

Chopper Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I think you're pretty much there. Maybe bring in your left/photo right chest pouch in slightly. Also, center your drop box buckles on the strap on the back side. The front looks fine. Nice work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennyruth Posted May 13, 2022 Author Share Posted May 13, 2022 So, the shoulder situation—looping the zip tie made the shoulder bells look like they were levitating. Plus, all that bulk under the bridge made them stick up a bit too. Nothing I tried helped that. So, then I tried just putting Velcro on one end and sticking it under the bridge. I’ll spare you those pictures because it was not working well, and they wanted to fall off. So, trouble-shooter some more and went back to my tiny loop idea. This time I sewed it into a loop seam—just enough to stop the bit end of the zip tie from coming through. Then, I cut off the big end of another zip tie and used that to anchor it through the mount in the shoulder bell. It’s working great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, here ya go! Let me know if you need more. Full disclosure, this is one-off the RS pieces that I kept, and it came to me already built. They are also doing a build series for the Scout on the RS YouTube channel. Pretty helpful! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donovan Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Thank you so much Jenny I appreciate that! I've been following the build videos but the holster one was a little vague and didn't show it fully assembled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennyruth Posted May 15, 2022 Author Share Posted May 15, 2022 Update: got my numbers an hour later. TB 24368 at your service! I am approved! I just have to wait for my numbers to come through from the 501st. I’m excited to be a Pathfinder soon! I'm a little bit of a patchwork Scout, so I thought I might list where all of my parts came from. Soft parts made by me: Flight suit trousers and jacket Flak vest Cod and cummerbund Pouches Boots (Base is Women's Original Timberland Boots) Gloves: Wampa Wear Armor parts from RS Propmasters: Helmet Thermal Detonator Holster and blaster Armor parts from Studio Creations: Belt (their smaller pull) painted by me Tank topper (painted by me) Tank decals Rest of Armor: 3D printed from @MrPoopie’s files at 85%. Except the chest, back, and tank. Tank is normal size, and he graciously customized the chest and back to make it more narrow, as it didn’t need to be shrunk overall. Sanded and prepared by me. Bicep greeblies were resin printed at 85%. Painted by me. And now I’ll be able to chase myself around some trees. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aradun Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Congratulations! Jenny. Well done and well deserved! And thank you for posting all of the details of your kit in the last post, as your build has quickly become the #1 reference for recruits seeking information on size adjustments for smaller builds. Once you get out and troop some in your new Scout, I hope you’ll consider making a Lancer app in the future. You look fantastic and have a really solid build. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of us with smaller frames find kid sizing too small and the “regular” sizes too big. So, while it’s a lot of work, this way has been a good option for me, and if I can help anyone else, I’m all for it. I would have loved to go for lancer, and that was my original goal. However, the downside to reducing the size of armor is that almost all of my strapping is now 1/4” more narrow than lancer requirements. I’m at peace with it. I got close for my own preference, and I can live with that 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPoopie Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Very nice work. You'd never know that everything was scaled since it fits proportionally. I'm very glad to hear that you're sharing more knowledge with new recruits too. Time to get out there and start laying down the law of the Empire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
