Brooklyn Scout well underway!

[chimei]

so i've finally gotten some serious work done. my boots are set (pics in the boot section) and i've finally received my KS bucket - and that is next. so here are some pics of what i've gotten done this weekend. the armor is SC (seconds), gloves by SA, undersuit is from speedway, and the soft parts and boots are by me.

 

 

the chest and back are not together as i'me still fumbling with getting the tank to stay on - thus only front shots, and no shoulder bells. the full body pics are from just before i started weathering the goods.

 

 

feedback is more than welcome.

Looking good! What problems are you having with the tank?

Looks great Mark. I fought the "chest/back joining" issue this weekend too.

That Looks great Mark...will probably be an easy clear

Hey Mark,

 

Don't make yourself crazy with the bullet tank fitting to the back plate. On the SC armor, same one I have, they don't fit seemlessly together. No matter how you do it there will be some gaps and spaces. The good news is if you look at some of the screen caps from RotJ, the screen used suits had gaps as well.

 

I used E6000 glue to attach the tank to the back. The back plate itself has a ridge that the tank goes over. I spread the E6000 around the outer edge of that ridge and then placed thae tank onto it as best I could. Let it dry overnight and It's good to go.

 

Just make sure you do the rivet on top of the black tank topper piece first. I found it easier to do before mounting the tank on the back piece.
