TVarius Snow Scout WIP
« on: December 16, 2017, 05:05:01 PM »
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.

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 ????

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.
