WIP 1/6 Biker Scout--finished pics page 2

[Ryan1982]

Finally trying to put this guy together. Been gathering parts for sometime now. Really all that's left is to fix everything in place.
Standard Hasbro Scout with added TOMY Helmet, custom pouches and shoulder armor (courtesy of Bobamike), and custom leather Newline Miniatures boots painted white. Not sure if I'll use these just kind of testing it all out. Also added some CIA pants over the body suit to bulk him up a bit.

[thx217]

Looks great! Keep the pics coming.

[jkno]

This is how I'd expect Sideshow to make their own Scout one day. Great job!

[Dorgmal Snow]

lOOKS REALLY COOL. I love the pouches and shoulder bells.

I would love to see more pics Ryan. I have all the parts to do another trooper except the waist crotch thingy and pouches :( really anoying.

[Chakaman]

Looks great my friend. I am looking to pick up a Tomy helmet myself, they are kinda hard to track down at the moment.

Glad you found someone to loan you the pouches, looks awesome!!

[Vivisect]

Yea, Im actually gonna buy a sealed display box of 12 or mabee even 2 of them so i will end up with a couple, I hope, and a bunch of other helmets for other projects.

[FLOSI]

I'm liking it, Ryan!

[Ryan1982]

Thanks for the comments guys. Luckily Mike already had the pouches and shoulder bells already molded and everything so made it easy on my part.
Finished putting everything together so better pics coming shortly...

[Dorgmal Snow]

Does he have any more do you know Ryan, they look fab

[Ryan1982]

yeah he has a mold im assuming of the shoulder pads, stomach pouches and knee pads i think he said. that guy is crazy good at making molds of stuff. im pretty sure he has a mold of just about any star wars part you could need. really nice guy too.

[FLOSI]

Wow, the Newline boots look great! They have that oversized rumpled look that's perfect for a scout trooper.... Sounds like it wasa pretty simple custom but it turned out really nice!

[Dorgmal Snow]

So good... love it ryan.

[Chakaman]

Wow Ryan, that looks fantastic!!

[Dorgmal Snow]

Bobamike did an ace job on the shoulder bels. Really grand.

Really want to rework my scouts now LOL

[barryo]

great work..............updated pics look 1 to 1 scale.

[Vivisect]

I agree it really does.

thanks ryan,
I do appreciate those kind words.not everybody would agree.since recasting is a shady subject around here.as of now I have a mold for the helmet its a total of 4 pieces.it takes some skill to put it all together but I do have the helmet aside from the helmet I have the shoulder bells,knee armor,waist pouches,thermal detonator( not the greatest) and the koyobukia chest and back armour.and I preffer the hasbro chest piece over the koyobukia one,it fits better.also I have the blaster mold too and the holster.

[Dorgmal Snow]

Ow my word!! That is quite some list.... excited about this I am LOL

[bobamike]

oh I almost forgot,I have the molds of the gloved hands too.

[Ryan1982]

No problem Mike.
Thanks again guys. Really happy with how this fig turned out. It's a fairly easy custom just putting together/ repainting the parts took the longest.
Just need a Speeder now...

[Crimsonbob]

Just when i think ive seen the best custom biker scout someone makes 1 better :D it looks like a real person, its so nicely done Ryan1982.

Your cool bobamike and a great guy to deal with :peace

[Ryan1982]

thanks bob!

[Rogue Trooper]

Awesome looking scout, never realised that the tomy helmet would work so well. Boots are cool, never though of actually paintng them before, use to spend some like looking for white ones.

[SpaceCrawler]

oh I almost forgot,I have the molds of the gloved hands too.

Do you sell the recast parts? I'd be interested in some! Just got a Tomy helmet today and plan to rework my Hasbro scout.

By the way, Ryan1982- what was the body you used? I have a bunch of Dragon figures I use for custom figures but the heads seem a bit too large to fit into the Tomy helmet.

Sean

contact mike and im sure he can hook you up with wht you need.

i used a dragon neo3 body, cracked the torso open, took out the dragon neck post and inserted the hot toys slim nekpost. fits into the slots ok.. a little loose but not bad. glued everything back together. also dremeled down the outside parts of the dragon body's shoulders so it reduced the bulk and the shoulder armor would fit better.

[Chakaman]

Im taking notes Ryan, your Scout looks fantastic.

Cool thanks.... So it was a Hot Toys Slim body neck and head? I'm just curious what head fits on that Tomy helmet. Is there any reason why you used the Dragon body rather than the Hot Toys body that the head/neck came with?

Sean

yes, it was the HT slim neckpost and head. i didnt use the HT slim body because the one i have have was broken so i just salvaged the head and neck from it and i just like that sculpt. thnk the Dragon body is a little more bulky and the armor would fit a little nicer than on the slim. also, the HT head doesnt fit exactly under the helmet, i had to trim off quite a bit of the sculpt from the top and sides so it would fit.. if you get one of those black balclava face mask thingys you cant tell its been trimmed down.

[Vivisect]

After seeing all the awesome scouts here I now have to make one or two for myself, I even
went and bought 2 counter displays of these helmets because I wanted a few other helmets.

I just hope there is at least 1 scout out of the 24 helms. :lol

So, you are the one that outbid me on that auction. Thanks a lot!!:D

No worries, I won an auction with 12 helmets in it. I too am hoping there is a Scout helmet in that bunch.

Its a small world.:lol

I wanted 2 scout helms, 2 skiff guard and 1 of each of the others for myself , the rest I'm probably just going to resell.

What I really wanna find is a Rebel Trooper helm from series 1

Very small.

Heck, we could have gone in on that auction together and probably saved each other a few bucks. Oh well. Looks like we will both have some extra helmets coming our way.:D

[Vivisect]

I posted this in the other thread but..

If we both have crap luck getting what we want out of our boxes I will be up for trading a few back and forth. Out of 24 I'm sure Ill get more skiff guards than I need, but getting a Jango or camo scout might still be a long shot for me.

[enaud]

I do believe I could help you out on that:D

[Vivisect]

I do believe I could help you out on that:D

That would be awesome, because all I need is a helm and I can bash together a rebel trooper real easy.

[Ryan1982]

the fleet trooper helmet? think i saw someone that used one of those and the hlme was a little undersized for the fig. i may be wrong tho.

[Vivisect]

I wouldnt mind seeing a comparison to a Sideshow helm to see the difference, but anyhow it seems quite a few Tomy helms are under sized like the tiefighter pilot and such. but if its just a tiny bit undersized it can be offset by using a narrower shouldered figure and a slightly undersized head sculpt I suppose, then It wont be obvious at least.

Anyhow I was gonna start with just the helm, and some jack boots and sew the rest of the outfit myself, along with a little leather work for the belt. Then sort out getting a gun for him.

[enaud]

I picked them up for the same reason when they 1st came out.

I sent a PM, but Ive gone a little crazy buying stuff lately so my wife just took away my wallet 5 min ago because I just won a Sideshow Sith Apprentice Anakin for $30 on eBay (which is awesome for a sealed one, so I couldn't help it:D), so I cant be spending much for a week or so.:banghead

[Ryan1982]

its cool bill. i sent you a pm with pics. if you cant spend any money we can always do a trade for some outfits!:D

[Chakaman]

Not to hijack your thread, but your pictures inspired me to redo my Scout.

http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad100/Chaka34/biker3.jpg

The Tomy helmet adds SO much to this guy. Thanks for the tutorial Ryan!

[Ryan1982]

hijack away Chris! he looks great man. did you get the shoulder bells and pouches from Mike? looks really good. well done!

[Vivisect]

Chris the scout looks great.

Tomy really did customizers a big favor with the scout helm.
Its gotta be the best one they have made.

[Chakaman]

hijack away Chris! he looks great man. did you get the shoulder bells and pouches from Mike? looks really good. well done!

Thanks Ryan. I actually just took the pouches and shoulder bells off my koto figure and repainted them.

[Crimsonbob]

looks great m8 :rock

[pm07]

Wow. You guys have either got to stop posting pics or I need to stop reading the threads. :lol Im totally digging the custom work.

[Chakaman]

I started another Biker Scout. Thanks Mark for the shoulder bells!!

http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad100/Chaka34/biker10-1.jpg

[Dorgmal Snow]

Bells look great mate, you have done an excellent job!

[Crimsonbob]

Aye they look great m8 :D

[barryo]

question about the shoulder bells...........i picked up an extra sandtrooper set and was planning on sanding/filing down the ridge that runs thru the center.......if i do this will it be accurate?......or at least pretty close???

[Crimsonbob]

I think their a bit wider but they should be ok.

Totally with you barryo if it turns out pant blame Cbob LOL.
But I am with Cbob all the way (Huummm bad choice of words again) I dont get hung up on that screen accurate stuff, as long as it looks cool I am happy. Some guys are totally into that screen accurate stuff and thats cool and it always blows me away...... but the none screen accurate stuff does to!

[Chakaman]

I did some work today on my Biker Scout. I added the straps to the boots. I used sculpy...

http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad100/Chaka34/biker20.jpg

I then borrowed a couple of Hasbro Snowtrooper pouches I had left over. I trimmed them, glued them together and painted them. The shoulder bells are casts Dorg's gave me. I also added some baggie pants over the Hasbro jump suit to give it a beter look.

I still need to weather him and add a few details, but he is coming along.

[Dorgmal Snow]

Looks cool and those boots are gonna be ace!!

[barryo]

looks very good. i really like the belt pouches on the right, nice clean square look. have you thought about trying to put a block into the snowtrooper pouches to square them up as well.

[ToyTowersMan]

looks really cool!
Think i need one 2 *g*

Thats something to think about, thanks for the input.

The pouches from the right are from the Koto Biker Scout. The ones on the left are the Hasbro ones. I intentionally placed the armor to fit different on each scout to give them some individuality. I also kinda like how the pouches also differ a bit.

I will give you that the Koto pouches are more screen accurate.
