miqt Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Hey Gang, heres the kidsclone bikerscout build! And heres the raw kit: Armor-check Bucket-check Boots- not yet undersuit and vest- not yet cumberbund- not yet blaster- hoping to make one and cast it Deadline- August 2011
miqt Posted April 27, 2011 Author Posted April 27, 2011 Got the bucket built up, just have to do some sanding and painting inside the visor before I finish putting it all together. I also have to cut out the vents and lens area and sand it up smooth. Theres a seam to be filled a bit too on the dome and attach the snot greeb. This was good practice before doing the KS kit for my wife!
4505Marcel Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Nice I really want to get my two boys a scout kit, do you know what size this fits upto?
miqt Posted April 27, 2011 Author Posted April 27, 2011 Thanks guys... cant wait to show a sided by side with a growd up scout! The kit is meant for a toddler (probably up to 6 yrs old max)... my daughter is 5 but she is a tiny thing. The parts could definitely be modded to fit a bigger kid scout (thats what Ill do too to extend the life of the kit). Ill put down a ruler when I post up pics of the painted armor. Mike
miqt Posted May 13, 2011 Author Posted May 13, 2011 Bucket is almost done! Got a bunch of small parts trimmed out too. Mike
miqt Posted May 17, 2011 Author Posted May 17, 2011 Not to much progress.. too much work at work... and at home..... and farm. The bucket is almost done. Im going to go with a magnetc closure and just fake the hinge bolts on this. Hope to update with better progress soon. (thats my sons kidsclone RC bucket in the pic too!)
M.J Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Mike with the undersuit for your little girl, Making a two piece which i did, just buy Black school pants unpick pockets and a boys Black shirt, fold down collar, replace buttons with velcro. Let me know if you need more idea's Being 4'11 and not wanting a full piece, having a two piece is Wonderful!
miqt Posted August 7, 2011 Author Posted August 7, 2011 This project is voving ahead now- will update with pics soon! Mike
cucblack Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Great Job!!! Your kids will be happy, and you too!!!
miqt Posted August 20, 2011 Author Posted August 20, 2011 Con next weekend... so its right down to the wire!!
miqt Posted August 24, 2011 Author Posted August 24, 2011 Well gang, we did a mini building marathon last night and the scout is almost done (it needs to be cause little daughter will 'troop' fanexpo canada with us Thursday afternoon and Friday). Not close to 100% accurate but Im less worried about that with Faiths costumes cause I think she will grow and change shape faster than my two boys. Hope you like the pic.. Ill update with pics from the con after the weekend. Thanks for watching
miqt Posted August 24, 2011 Author Posted August 24, 2011 And..... Done. Since this pic I built a tank topper greeb and installed T bits (out of styrene).
automaton Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 That is so awesome! Wish my parents were cool enough to build me a costume like that when I was a kid.
miqt Posted August 29, 2011 Author Posted August 29, 2011 Well gang, The first troop went great- She loooooves her scout- and the big scouts in our garrison were very kind to her which made her love the whole thing that much more! Heres a couple choice pics (ok so one pic... above.... cause this things not letting me paste in links where I want..... wierd) 1
mariellejaworski Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 I think I saw this one on youtube also looks really awesome
Guest Penn Chemist Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Sorry to dig up an old thread... but in all fairness it's new to me. Having little ones, this is the coolest thing ever!! Wow, anyone know if armor like this is still available... I mean how cool is that!?!? And I think it looks really great for what it is, man that's so nifty. Would really dig seeing my little ones all done up Scout style winning the Halloween costume awards left and right! My daughter has been Yoda, Chewie, and Princess Leia so far (but with the common store bought costumes)... and last year she deviated and went with Batgirl. But has looked amazing each year for sure. My wife and I are Jedi every year with our robes and FX sabers... now the little guy who is two will be joining us this year with his robe and saber. Pretty sweet, very excited.
Arnie Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 This is unreal!! Wanna say F-word-ing awesome TM is redoing his child size canon TK suit btw Might take som time before he will start runs on it though
