Approved! Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who provided helpful feedback and advice in this thread or answered my questions. Also, a very huge thanks to fellow GLG scouts @masteroftheforce and @chillywill22 who gave me some awesome pointers, let me borrow patterns, or let me photograph the heck out of their helmet for reference. I'm excited to take this armor out for its maiden voyage on Saturday!

This is where the fun begins!

Great thread. Masteroftheforce told me to read through it because of how detailed you did it.

This is awesome. I'm about to order from SC, but looking to build the remnant/mandalorian scout (already a TI). I'm 5'3" so always look for height adjustment references.

I'm so glad to hear you're finding my thread helpful! That's partially why I like to do these.

Let me know if you have any questions about anything I did or if we've got an upcoming troop together and you want me to bring any of the pieces for you to see or try on.

Hello, Glory530

  I'm pre-planning my armor and the belt is the only issue with this part of the build.  The flight suit plan on getting from CB Props but the rest I'm semi-confidant that I can kind of make. I chose to print my armor out of PETG with files from Galactic Armory. With JoAnn's closing any suggestions about elastic, webbing, & fabric's should be looking for?

Great Lakes hopeful, Toby

Hi Toby,

I'm excited to hear we have another future GLG member in the works! Costuming in a post-Joann world is certainly going to be a challenge. To answer your questions, all of the elastic that I used is the Dritz brand. I brought mine from Joann, but it looks like their products are available on Amazon. I believe that is where I found my webbing as well. As for the fabric, I'm not sure where you are located in Michigan, but there is a pretty good fabric store called Haberman Fabrics in Clawson. I've visited there once, and they have a pretty good selection of apparel fabrics. Ordering online is an option as well, but I would recommend ordering a swatch to make sure it looks and feels right before placing an order.

If you haven't already done so, I'd also recommend starting a build thread here and asking questions when you have trouble finding materials or need help with anything. The Pathfinders staff is AMAZING and was super helpful to me throughout my build.

Best of luck with your build!
