Introducing the "Scoutopedia"!

[BikerScout007]

You asked for it and we delivered!

The Armor Team has compiled all our favorite production reference photos into one easy to find place -- the "Scoutopedia"!  No more will you need to scour the forum threads for the "one photo you saw 3 years ago" -- now they are all available at your fingertips.  We've divided them into categories so it's easy to find a production reference for the portion of the costume you are working on.

This is a work in progress -- more photos will be added as we come across them.  And description text will be added to each category to help zero in on the details the photos are showing.

For now we are only sticking to production Scout photos -- so references from the filming of "Return of the Jedi".  If you're looking for build techniques and the like, there are plenty of references to be found in the WIP portion of the Scout Armory.

If this goes well we will try to add reference libraries for some of our other costumes in the future!

You may find the link to the Scoutopedia in the "Browse" menu of the title bar.  And here is a handy link to take you right there:

Scoutopedia has been updated with photos of some of the original greeblie sources for the bicep armor and TD.

Great to see the new greeblies mickey . Are we now putting to bed the idea that  there is a left and right bicep greeblie ? The found part isn’t mirrored in the kit , and no photo of a left side one has ever been discovered . C’mon you know it makes sense !

Hey Rob!

As a matter of fact we are discussing it now!   Look I've never been a fan of that as I've never seen evidence to support it.  But some things were institutions before I became DL.  And you know what they say about trying to turn an ocean liner.  Now that we've got some solid evidence, this will be a lot easier to move forward with.

The toughest thing will be getting all the armor makers onboard

[CatfoodRob]

Simply removing the need for left and a right would suffice for now. Some armour makers will still supply two , some will upgrade . RS have already made a mould for the new greeblie , and from now on will only be supplying the screen accurate version , their left and right fan sculpts will no longer be available .
