Sgt.Bilko Posted Friday at 11:24 PM Share Posted Friday at 11:24 PM Starting a New Mando Scout Build! Hey everyone! Finally diving into a Mando Scout build, and I’ve got my BOM options lined up. I’m no stranger to armor builds—got a DT and TK in the collection already—but this one’s a little different, so big thanks to all the awesome build threads on here that helped me get started! Can’t wait to see how this turns out, and I’m always up for any tips to make this build even better. Let’s do this! Let me know if you’d like any tweaks! Highlighted items were purchased.

Sgt.Bilko Posted Friday at 11:27 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 11:27 PM First Brown Box day! Sideshow has some great deals for early Black Friday. This ‘asset’ was a steal. Sideshow even threw in this awesome Darktrooper!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted Friday at 11:46 PM Share Posted Friday at 11:46 PM Hiya, you seem to have done your research as you have most of the vendors listed on your spreadsheet. Are you still deciding on who to go with for armor and other soft goods? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarok Posted Friday at 11:57 PM Share Posted Friday at 11:57 PM Great to see another Imperial Remnant scout in the works. I was wondering the same as Chopper You can probably save yourself some $ and make the boots yourself. I had some reservations about doing mine, but trust me, easy as!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Bilko Posted Saturday at 12:04 AM Author Share Posted Saturday at 12:04 AM I am still deciding. Watching prices as well. Some do offer Black Friday deals. RS is currently, albeit slowly, unveiling their deals.Will need to look into the boot builds and decide if it’s for me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted Saturday at 12:07 AM Share Posted Saturday at 12:07 AM I can tell you just to get the flightsuit and gloves from Wampawear. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Bilko Posted Saturday at 12:21 AM Author Share Posted Saturday at 12:21 AM Good advice. I’ve seen them with cog patches. Those are acceptable on the flight suit so long as they are covered by the shoulder bell?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with SC as i’d read good things about them on these forums. They shipped bang on time too I went with KeepTrooping for my flightsuit, but if you’re US-based it makes sense to go with what’s local to you and save a bit on postage.Wampawear all the way for the gloves though!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is more accurate to ROTJ than their original offering (which was used on the TV show). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is more accurate to ROTJ than their original offering (which was used on the TV show). Good point too. Levels the playing field for those doing ROTJ scouts, but also for Remnant scouts - but not necessarily in a good way Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted Saturday at 03:14 AM Share Posted Saturday at 03:14 AM You'd have to clarify with Walt, but I was under the impression that he was still going to offer his old scout armor for Mando builds? His new helmet is a Lone Wolf, which is much better than his banned V1 helmet. And just for the record -- the V1 helmet was not used in the TV show. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Bilko Posted Sunday at 12:56 AM Author Share Posted Sunday at 12:56 AM I’ve bought from Walt in the past. Was a good experience. He helped me out with some additional ABS sheets in a pinch. Nice guy.I’m a huge RS fan. My TK is from them. All said, I’m looking through the forums here to help make a final decision.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Bilko Posted Sunday at 01:02 AM Author Share Posted Sunday at 01:02 AM Another delivery today. Huge shout out to Brodustrial Light and Magic for this sweet P37 replica bag. Very nice quality and great communication. Additional Swag was a nice touch too.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
