SharkForge Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Hey everyone! I looked through the armor comparison thread. Really helpful and greatly appreciated... but I was hoping to see if anyone happened to own both the SC (version 2 armor) and the RS Props armor for the Biker Scout. I'm a taller guy and as much as I want ultimate accuracy, I want to make sure i can find armor that is proportionate to my body size. I had SC version 1 armor back in the day and it was great... but would love to know if/what size differences there are between the RS Props armor and the SC version 2. I'd love to go with RS Props if they're about the same size. Any insight would help me immensely. Thanks everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I haven't personally put the new SC parts next to the RS kit, maybe @BikerScout007 or @MrPoopie have seen the two next to each other as a part of the Scout Team Six crew? I can tell you that the retired scout in the photo below is 6ft5 and is wearing the Strider/CfO armor, which is pretty close to the RS kit in terms of size/accuracy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I've had the Strider kit (very close to the RS) and SC v 1 side by side: But honestly, I think the chest size issue is pretty overblown. The armor is supposed to be small. It's only supposed to cover the pectorals really. Height never seems to be an issue for folks as much as width. For a broader trooper, the smaller armor might be a problem. But the SC armor is in line with most of the others. If a giant chest is what you're after, you may need to try Kropserkel or WTF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkForge Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share Posted July 26, 2021 Thank you both so much! I really appreciate it. Seeing someone who is actually taller than me in armor that is close to the RS Props armor makes me want to go that route. Both scouts shown here look fantastic! You think it's a safe bet to get full RS Props armor head to toe? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just picked up a set myself so i am anxious to start building. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnkelPaschulke Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I bought myself a RS helmet kit just for fun to have a biker helmet and all over sudden I found myself going all in for the scout. Unfortunately they don‘t offer the armor kit at the moment. Do you Guyana think it would be a problem having a RS helmet and aSC armor?Gesendet von iPhone mit Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gesendet von iPhone mit Tapatalk That's what I am currently doing. The color of the helmet is an off white and the SC armor is regular white, but it's not super noticeable. I'll eventually re-paint to match, but for now, it works great! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll walk you through the changes. And you just need to paint the inside of the bucket black or use gaffer tape like they did in the movie (and what I did in my own RS lid) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's comfy on my cheeks... I'll eventually do it, I just don't have a ton of time right now to make all the changes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well as long as it's black on the inside, we really don't care how it got that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
