Eagleskull's Scout Build

[Eagleskull]

Hello Pathfinders! 

So it has been a while since I've been able to work on my Scout trooper and since I got time with everything going on and an hiatus on work I might as well start a new thread instead of necroposting my post from 2017 lol

Going to list what I had before and then update on parts that I have upgraded though out the years. 

-Helmet: Don Post that I heavily modified.[I have now purchased a new helmet, maker unknown, closer to SA]

-Armor: MonCal missing the pistol holster so hopefully be able to find one on the forums.[Still need to find a holster for my hold out haha]

-Gloves: Wampa Wear

-Jumpsuit: Modified jumpsuit(WIP)

-Boots: Works boots from Walmart that I will build up(WIP)[Ended up purchasing some Cheesewhoopy boots from a garrison member]

-Cummerbund and Vest: Need to do research and sew up myself.

-Sidearm: Hyperfirm.

 

Will post more progress pictures soon but for now here is a sweet picture of my new helmet with weathering. 😁

Nice!

Awesome, can't wait to see your build.

Since I've restarted this project I making changes to hopefully get close to Lancer as possible, the only thing Im a little nervous to do is add the extra details to my boot.

But so far, i've changed the strap system to my shoulder to chest, I had the typical T-shaped attachments before I went to zip tie with the tutorial provided on the forum. 

 

The one question I have is if my shoulder are rounded enough for the Lancer CRL?

They're perfect!

Its been a hot minute since i've working on this but i'm coming back to this project and have a quick question if anyone can help out. What belt clips would you recommend for the thermal detonator? The one i received with my armor were too long and the replacements i bought just doesn't fit right and hard to place. 

Thank you in advance for the help.

Any chance you can post some pics so we can see what issues you’re experiencing. It might just entail a simple workaround rather than new clips, but if not, you can try these:

Also if you’re still looking for a holster MonCal sells pieces so I’d shoot him a PM and see what he can do for you. I recently replaced my holster with a MC as I had to get a new pair of boots.

[Eagleskull]

You know what I think it was,  I added chicago screws instead of rivets so it was making the clips "float" vs being in place so ill get some rivets this weekend and see how it holds up. 

Thank you @Retrofire i'll have to PM MonCal later this week to see if I can order one since I still don't have one yet

 

Hopefully this weekend Ill also get to work on the cummerbund and get more progress pictures up. 

[Eagleskull]

Hey everyone, 

Its been a little over a year on working on this project and I think its time to get it off the back burner. 

One thing I was wondering if y'all can help me, I remember there a fellow member that used to make cummerbunds but for the life of me I cant find the thread nor remember the name of said maker.  If anyone can help me out, I thank you.

Contact @Chrisx909x.   Cheesewhoopy is out of the business as far as I know.

Chris did my second pair of boots to replace the first that I wore down. He did those too. If you’re in the market for boots, and don’t want to do those yourself, it’s worth adding that to the list to ask him about.

Correct again Commander Moncals Prop Shop has a very quality kit! I went to to them for my Shadow Scout build armor. I was shown the first time how to assemble with the OMNIOUS Doctor Professor or Matt Schreader and am EXTREMELY confident this time around i will have it done in less than half the time as the first.

It has been a while since I've updated but finally seeing the finish line. Going to be at an armor party this weekend so going to get some pointers for the jumpsuit patches which has been the part I've been holding off. Other than some little fixes here and there its almost ready for fittings. 

 

[Eagleskull]

Just like a bad penny, i always turn up haha 

So, returning to the journey to finish my Scout, a few weekend ago I did a dry fit(Need to redo strapping and velcro some armor pieces to my jumpsuit like the knees so they don't sag) just to see how I look in it and I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

What I still need to do, is get a flak vest, add suede patches and get my boot holster attached.

Good work with your progress.

A few points --

1. It looks like your pouches are attached to your chest plate? You might want to consider attaching them to your bund, They'll sit flatter and more naturally that way.
    
2. Sorry to have to say this, but your boots will likely need some alterations prior to clearance. I'm just eyeballing the height, but I'd say maybe 2.5"-3" needs to come off the top.

Again sorry to have to point that out, but I imagine that your GML would mention it when it came time for submissions as well.

Keep up the good work.

[Eagleskull]

No apologies please, its all to help me and I apprentice it because in the end it not only help me but my GML to be able to approve me faster 😃

Would it be possible to get a measurement of the shaft? Keep in mind my knees are not fully secured and did drop as I walked to pose for this picture lol but I want to make sure if im a good ballpark if they are too long. 

I heard about attaching them to the bund, since i need to pull in the bund since its still a lil loose ill definitely attach them during that sewing process. 

 

Thank you

Even with the knees dropping a bit, I still think the boots are too long.

Measure out a point that's 3" from the top of the boot, then take some of that blue painters tape and put the top edge of the tape on the 3" marker. Then take a photo with your flight suit and knees on. That'll show if it's about the right height or not.

[Eagleskull]

Aye, ill see if I can do that this weekend. 😁
