Arnie_DK[TK] Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Just picked up this box at the post office today. Brand new and all from MC Lots of news paper wrapping And underneath all that newspaper each part is nicely wrapped in foam thingie something Love my new name hehe Helmet and accesories. A small critique is that the lense have to be bought seperately, but he supplies two snout pieces, so I guess its okay to pay 3$ for a lense The discs for the screws on the helmet was taped together and the paint didnt want to let them go of eachother, so I will have to fix that. All the parts in all its glory!! Had to try this And just for a fun comparison And the pieces I already had Thats it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueTrooper[TK] Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Awesome Morten!!!! I always liked the Scout look.... I been working on doing a Scout bike (1:1) because in my Garrison we got a lot of TBs and it would be great for the troops/events. Have fun with your TB build, keep us updated. And watch out for those trees and little rabid teddy bears.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X[TK] Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Awesome box party! If you hit up BSN, find me over there. I'm a scout too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnie_DK[TK] Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) Already have a profile over at BSN, but for some reason I dont like it there. They seem a bit more up-tight, than your friendly neighbourhood FISD Dunno maybe its just me though But unfourtunately this may not become much of a build thread, as its kinda reserved for Nordic Garrisons event at LEGOland next month. We have talked about in the garrison to set up a workshop where the public can come and see that we are making theese things by ourselves and that its not just a complete costume we go out and buy, just like that. But damn its hard not to start building right away!! Edited May 10, 2012 by Arnie_DK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananoPower22[TK] Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I also started my scout... all that's left for me to buy is the armor itself (MC) and a blaster. I've everything else... boots from darth vorhees, KS helmet (kit, i built it myself. not as accurate as MC, but i'm not aiming for lancer nor 501st this time i'll be letting my brother join the legion with this costume), trooperbay decals for it, and LSFU cummerbund and off-white pouches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnie_DK[TK] Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Nice I have thought about LSFU but I think its too expensive, and I can sew myself, so thats money saved I wont be going lancer with this either, as I want to instal a mesh in the ears and maybe cut the vents in the back of the helmet, and the mesh alone is enough to deny it lancer spec, so when I cant go super acurate I'm going super comfortable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluehickey Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I also have a TB as my secondary trooping costume. It can get very cold in a TK in the winter so I usually bundle up in my TB instead so I can keep trooping and not risk freezing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolderMaster Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 How long did you have to wait for your armor? Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnie_DK[TK] Posted May 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 How long did you have to wait for your armor? Congrats! Oh, not long, not long... Only about 22-23 weeks... Order went through the 6th of December and I picked it up yesterday the 10th of May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnie_DK[TK] Posted May 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Bit of progress on the armour, since I'm not doing it at an event anyway, I'm just building away This is how far I am atm And the helmet is being painted. Just need a coat or two extra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BananoPower22[TK] Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Very nice. Are you aiming for Lancer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnie_DK[TK] Posted June 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Nope, but damn close But for Lancer I would have to remove the mesh in the ears, and thats just plain silly in my eyes. It would be the same as saying you cant go Centurion with mesh under the TK's teeth I'm all for screen acuracy, but we are still a costuming group and there will be taken close up photos of us, so I choose to look good for the public Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananoPower22[TK] Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 if you choose to remove the mesh at some point, you can just glue some fabric inside the helmet. no need to paint inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnie_DK[TK] Posted June 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Its already black inside so thats no problem, but I intend to have some lectronics installed, and that would be visible to the outside world as a strange clunky shape. Easier to just keep the mesh Besides I already got Centurion for my TK and thats what matters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sve5mh[TK] Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 how much was the kit? looks awesome by the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnie_DK[TK] Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 450$ for the plastic parts and 300$ for the helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandShark Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 This looks great! I am wanting to do this as my first outfit and a TK as my secondary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnie_DK[TK] Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 In that case I would recommend that you go for something else than MC. Its expensive and he is constantly late on orders. Expect 10-12 weeks to become 6-7 months.But check out SC instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireDS Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 These kits look GREAT! I'm looking to go TB in the future but Im lost on where to aquire all the items. Can anyone pm me some links? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerKraken[TK] Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 SC is the way to go with scout. Best kit, best service, and quick turn around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
