ParaDax Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Hello! So a few months ago I had a fellow 501st member sell me their RS Scout kit (armor and helmet only). I’ve been slowly accumulating the soft parts and boots since. As of right now, I have the RS kit, a Keep Trooping (previously Imperial Boots) jumpsuit, neck seal and a set of their scout boots. In addition I have a Seven Cats Studios cummerbund, cod with duck cloth pouches, and Wampa Wear Gloves. Flak vest on order from KriptonTop, and a WTF scout holster kit. I have already worked on putting together the holster and getting ready to attach it to the boots. I’m waiting on the blaster to come in from Blasterworks so I can make sure it fits before gluing the holster into place. Once I’m finished with the boots I am going to need to modify my belt to be just a tad longer, and figure out how to attach the pouches and cod. Any help is greatly appreciated!

ParaDax Posted August 18, 2023 Author Share Posted August 18, 2023 Alright Pathfinders! I made some good progress and then made a boo boo. I finished my holster, attached it to my boot and started some weathering. When I was doing a test fitting I brushed against something and my holster popped right off. I used the correct 1/8” rivets however it seems those could not hold well enough. What else can I do to better secure the rivets fit the holster? I don’t want to re-attach it every time I brush against something. Thanks!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Did you add backing plates/washers on the inside when you riveted it to the boot shaft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaDax Posted August 29, 2023 Author Share Posted August 29, 2023 Well looks like I was able to fix the issue, my dumb self didn’t think to add washers the first time so that was on me. In other news….. I’m officially approved! My goal was to finish right before DragonCon and I’m now I’ve finished the race.
