EC-17 Holdout Blaster Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Here are some photos of my almost finished TB, taken at Denver Fan Expo a little while ago. Just have to get a good pair of gloves, add the holster and blaster, and then attach the butt flap and thigh pads. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1z2gZwZ2EeqPMgeZCqMjsSYxLqWB_aAyc?usp=sharing My build consists of Helmet: Mon Cals Prop Shop Armor: Studio Creations Set Gloves: Not Purchased Boots: Made from scratch with vinyl and work boots. Cummerbund and Flack Vest: Imperial Boots Flight Suit: Kolossus Work Suit from amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbinger Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Looking good, approval is close I’m sure! Your dropboxes look a little low (more of a L2/ fitment issue) and it’s hard to tell if the inverted curve detail is present on your codpiece: Assume your cod is from IB as well? May just be hard to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Based on the photos you posted, and taking into account the items you've already identified as needing to add, I do not see any basic clearance issues so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May just be hard to see. yeah the cod is from IB, it is there although it could probably be a little more pronounced, might see what I can do about it, and as for the cummerbund being low, I was thinking of putting snap rivets on the backside of my chest armor and on the top part of the pouches so that they will hold up in that position, would that be an acceptable way of fixing it?

Aradun Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Anything that’s not visible won’t impact approval, so how you decide to rig things is up to you. Snaps will work just fine. However most use Velcro because it allows a little more wiggle room for adjustment. Keep in mind that once those snaps are in they’re set in place, so their placement needs to be spot on. Chopper has an excellent thread on rigging up the Scout for trooping. It’s definitely worth checking out. http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/index.php?/topic/18894-some-tips-for-keeping-your-scout-costume-together-while-trooping/Let us know if you have any questions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbinger Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 To add to Dennis’ excellent advice, I would say hold off on any type of fine tuning until you’ve had a chance to wear your costume (ideally, at a troop). Your suit and body will tell you what isn’t working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
