Drewbacca Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Hello everyone. I have been studying this forum for some time now, and feel I am finally ready to post here. I have purchased my helmet and armour, which should hopefully be with me soon. After thinking I could have a go at all the soft parts, I have made some enquiries and decided to purchase the soft parts for my first build. I have received my gloves and everything else is on the way. I look forward to sharing my progress and anticipate many adjustments after my recent trip overseas. I am currently working on removing the clips from the gloves and sourcing the EC-17. Parts: Helmet - RS Prop Masters Armour - RS Prop Masters Balaclava - not yet purchased Flight suit and vest - RS Prop Masters/Keep Trooping Cummerbund and codpiece - RS Prop Masters Boots - RS Prop Masters/Keep Trooping Gloves - WampaWear EC-17 - not yet purchased 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dart Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Great start so far! Welcome to the forum! Best place to check for the blaster is in the armoury weapons area. Several options available, depending on what you're looking for. Good luck and have fun with your build! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aradun Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 As a fellow scout with RS armor and bucket, you’ll definitely be pleased! As for a blaster, check out Blasterworks. It’s a rubber cast blaster that’s excellent for trooping and passing off to kids for photos (no worries about it dropping). I have one and it’s a nice fit in the RS holster. Snug as a bug!https://blasterworks.net 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.J Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Hello Drew, Welcome to Pathfinders A potential Knightfaller. Looking forward to watching your build. Any Questions please reach out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarok Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Hey DrewTarok (Rudi) from KFG here. Good to see you start your WIP here; you’re in safe hands.With that selection of costume items your approval should be a cake walk. Don’t let the blaster hold up your costume submission though, it’s not a requirement for basic approval.

Retrofire Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Excellent looking armor! Keep in mind that since your pouches are off-while that you may have to tint your drop box straps off-white per the CRL. You can easily stain them using a tea solution. Might be a good idea to check with your GML regarding acceptance. Keep up the great work!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t aware that they were going to that off white - I have checked in with the GML and will apply tea staining if needed. Thanks for the support!

M.J Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Hi ya Drew again, glad you got the photos up . As I mentioned your drop box fabric is elastic, you’ll find it easier to replace and sit better with webbing, mentioned places you can find these and Chris has offered some for you, the photos in Knightfall the elastic is pulling and you can see there hooked and stretched. You’ll will notice the swap over and will look more towards the movie scout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I just need to work out how to remove the elastic glued to the inside of the belt and to unpick the stitching around the elastic to attach the cotton. I will post the pics here now that I have worked out how. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.J Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Glad Chris is helping with the strapping. You’ll need to bring the bun up, is it attached anywhere? Basically to keep it up. Otherwise it will drop drown when least expect it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
