kit ordered from Studio Creations. 14th August 2019 - arrived 2nd March 2020. - kit arrived with assembled helmet- all I need now is the soft parts  

It won't happen overnight, but it will happen.

My kit took 6 years to complete, you will love it when it's done.

- need to resize the image (before upload)

Just in case you’re resizing because you plan to upload photos using the forum’s photo storage, you’ll run out of space quickly. The forum has a very limited storage allotment for photos to keep costs down. Reducing the image size also makes it hard for the armorers to see details when they enlarge the photos.

Consider using an image hosting service like Imgur or if using your phone, consider the Tapatalk app. Super easy and free.

Now that that is out of the way, I’m looking forward to seeing your WIP. Be sure to ask any and all questions. Not only are there loads of Scouts here eager to help you succeed, but the armorers here are the best. They really know the Scout inside and out and will be an invaluable resource to you.

Welcome to the community, you chose and awesome costume . Take your time on the build and just enjoy it. It makes it so much better without the stress of rushing through it.

I ended up downloading Tapatalk and then paid for it for a year, it sucks paying but it makes posting pics really easy, I’m lazy so it was worth it.

Thank you it's a great honour to belong to Pathfinders. - I've been there done that before with stressing out on my artwork folio assignments in the past. I was convinced to become a Biker Scout by a friend of mine and glad I did - also because I never did Boy Scouts this'll be my ultimate chance to become an Imperial Scout.

Being stressed is not a good idea it's much better to take your time and enjoy it as you said. 

I've never used Tapatalk before, know lots of others who use it.

understood then thank you - I'll bear that in mind for when to upload photos.

I'm focusing on 2 - 501st costumes this year think thats a good number to stick with. I am 90% done as mentioned its just the soft parts now. I know couple of costume makers in my garrison who can assist me with ideas and advice when the time comes. It is great to get assistance from all giving me ideas & new tip points. Theres something quite unique and special about the Scout thats why I decided to choose this path - the path of a Pathfinder.  have a special helmet carry bag to protect my helmet with the EC-17 wrapped up in the balaclava inside the helmet as well. 

Thank you

Its such an amazing costume it will be me one day, it won't happen overnight but it will happen that I promise.

6 years to complete - sometimes its best to not rush things and take your time to enjoy the building process more.

Thank you - lots of exciting info to take in and read about. I'll look into it - don't have any experience what so ever in costume making, wouldn't know where to start but it helps when you have a good work bench, materials standing by - facilities etc.

I have 7 kids and not a lot of money. I did most of the building at my kitchen table.
