I finally decided on my first build into the 501st and that's a Snow Scout! I started a couple weeks ago and here is my WIP so far.
Flightsuit: I already had a white flightsuit that I had for another project that I changed my mind on, all ext pockets removed, sleeves altered, cut up some pants I was going to toss to make a pattern for the suede patch.
Helmet: I am in the process of acquiring a fiberglass helmet in a trade. side note, its the angle of the camera and/or the lens, the sides of the visor aren't shaped as badly as they appear in this photo.
Hold out blaster: 3d printed.
Still need to buy:
-Balaclava - purchased
-Gloves - purchased, no luck finding locally so I ordered from Amazon for $4, then found a 3 pack for $2.80 locally.
-Mukluks - purchased, thank you to my amazing brother for Christmas.
Still need to make:
-Vest - done
-Cummerbund - done
-Pouches - done
-Thermal Detonator (3d print parts to add to PVC)
-Shoulder armor mold - WIP
-Forearm armor mold - WIP
-Glove armor mold
-Utility belt mold needs adjusted - WIP
-Back armor mold (going to use a shadowguard back as a base) - WIP
-Chest armor mold (just happened to have this old start of a TK chest plate that is going to work perfectly as a beginning to a snowy chest plate. - WIP
So theres where I am at today.

It's about time, dude! Happy to see this!

I just happen to have a raglan shirt to base my vest off of and it happens to be the shirt I care least about. goodbye shirt, hello vest pattern!
Also pulled some pieces of Shadow Guard armor to reverse mold and alter to create a scout back plate, snow forearms and shoulders which will then be added to our collection ????
-
after 5 hours of dissecting, cutting and sewing I have a vest! just need some velcro.
-
Nice job on that vest! Looks good!

Thanks, probably the most advanced sewing project I've taken on.
-
Just finished the cummerbund and cod, just need to attach velcro to both and attach the cod to the vest.

pouches done, other than some velcro and elastic, the soft parts are done.
-
Picked up a set of KS knees from a friend.

some more updates.
velcro and elastic added to softs and I received my balaclava today.

Looking good! Have you acquired the rest of the armor yet?

I'm making the molds myself for vac pulling.

boots arrived last week, finally got the straps made, velcro added and attached via binding post. After I find some good slip on shoes to insert into the boots, I will get new laces back on the boots.
some helpful information that I would like to share since there doesnt seem to be any that I could find on adding the straps to the mukluks, that I got from Daryl, a very helpful member of the CCG, using a soldering iron to melt the holes in the spine of the boot makes a nice clean hole without affecting the seam that is behind that spine, also a soldering iron CAN be used to melt a hole in cotton webbing, not just synthetic webbing.

Haven't gotten armor molds progressed much, cut mdf to start forearms from scratch instead of using reverse molded shadow guard forearms, quicker this way I think.
Did work out a new trade for a new Studio Creations helmet kit, started assembling that recently, all glued together, outside edges still need cleaned up and figure out what to do with the helmet back to dome gap, abs slush? Also 3d printed snout painting template (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180206/6d26ead7c905a3cce841ed461fc78a45.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180206/c98f8bfa1bd133c439692349a0908f72.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180206/eb53d4986099e814ca49775ef2ca952c.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180206/95ee3aafe4e1ebd9caf186ba87f932d8.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180206/32d36c89fb4ceb65063b6e69be47148d.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180206/4da629e5ca7055dc5b445fb588a49d1c.jpg)

Haven't posted in awhile and only recently got more accomplished in hopes to troop in the Starlight parade, here's a little update. Got most of the molds finished and pulled (including the scout backpack that's not pictured after pull) belt assembled and some armor weathered.

Back and pack trimmed and painted up along with shoulders and straps, only the chest and Chris's extremely difficult thermal detonator panel molds remain.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180601/e4c66549c5d8be274a643cb134b56901.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180601/31fb77e28b04adad9197b98b387fd6d9.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180601/19128e7ebdf9816f69b0a69852437f21.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180601/9c99db668c35801b4d8a7a8f98bef793.jpg)
