stormtrooperguy Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Hi scouts! I used to be a member many many moons ago... Studio creations armor, MLC helmet, in the days before butt patches and vests. I was inspired by the Remnant Scouts in the Mandalorian to get back into it. Here is where I'm at: WTF armor and helmet (in hand, may replace the helmet later) WampaWear gloves (in hand) WampaWear flight suit (in hand) TK neckseal of unknown origin from my trooper suit Steph cummerbund and boot kit (waiting on) Blaster 3d printed from thingiverse (working on the finish now) Tote bag with greeblie (in hand) Full scale IG-11 to kill me (in hand) My armor arrived from Walt today. I'm having a hard time with the idea of buying an efx helmet ($$ for something that isn't awesome) but it really does seem pretty clear that it's what they used, I mean... look at the gap there! Would it be crazy to try to replicate that in a vac formed helmet? I could over-trim my visor... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dart Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Aloha! Welcome back! Sounds like you're well on your way. For the visor, if you wanted, you could definitely over-trim it to resemble the photo above. I'd do that last, just so you have an easier time lining everything up. Also, don't waste your time trying to buy an eFx helmet. I've been waiting now for something like 7 or 8 years? Still haven't received mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Hey Brian, welcome back to the best Detachment in the Legion! I bumped you up to 501st Legion access. How would you like to be our CRL model so we can get this done? Our previous volunteer has been unable to continue working on it for the time being, and I know we have people who really want us to get this done.

I've already abandoned the WTF helmet. I trimmed it, fitted the pieces, and decided I just couldn't do it. One of my printers is now being redirected from R2 to a scout helmet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 You could check out Newimage prop replicas on Facebook. They're offering a fibreglas bikerscout helmet which comes pretty close to the efx. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrooperguy Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 It has been a while but I'm back on the mission! WTF armor is all trimmed and sanded soft parts from Steph in hand Working on putting together the trimmed armor now -- assembling the boot holster, that sort of stuff. I did buy an efx helmet, and it did not fit on my melon. I sold that off and have a printed one now and will be picking up a vac formed kit next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrooperguy Posted December 28, 2020 Author Share Posted December 28, 2020 I've been chugging along, but haven't been great about pictures. Armor is all weathered and most of the strapping is done One boot is done, the other is 1/2 way there. Printed helmet is about 50% sanded. Still need to weather the bund, finish that half boot, finish the helmet... but it's good progress! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrooperguy Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 First suit up: Since the picture washes out some of the weathering, here's what the armor looks like close up: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Looks good! I'd say go a little heavier on the boot and soft goods weathering and you're good to go 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the same issue with my Shoretrooper. You start to realize that you are doing the weathering more for the photos than for its in-person appearance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went digging, and I *think* it was 2005 the last time I was a scout! I'm the one next to the green guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
