I'd be interested in what others are using for the mid section since that part is hard to see in the concept drawing. I'm using: -Biker Scout cumberbund (no pouches attached. Chest armor is in the way. Pouches used on belt like Snowtrooper) -Snowtrooper belt -Snowtrooper pouches -Snowtrooper ab armor (no armor cod piece for ease of riding speeder. Cloth cumberbund/codpiece instead) -Biker Scout Thermal detonator. -No duster (Not sure what others are doing here, but it's not in the drawing and I figured a scout on a speeder wouldn't wear one) Everything else I'm using: -Snowtrooper chest -Snowtrooper boots -Snowtrooper forearms -Snowtrooper gloves and hand armor -Snowtrooper shoulders (might smooth them out) -Biker Scout knees -Biker Scout helmet -Biker Scout back and pack -Carbine Chad

Parts which are not needed for snowscout Biker Scout cumberbund (no pouches attached. Chest armor is in the way. Pouches used on belt like Snowtrooper) - from the ref pic, no cummberbund is used since the snowie belt is more than sufficient. -Biker Scout Thermal detonator. understand from kotobuikya model, the termal detonator is a stormie type and not bikerscout type these are the same as i used -Snowtrooper belt -Snowtrooper pouches -Snowtrooper ab armor (no armor cod piece for ease of riding speeder. Cloth cumberbund/codpiece instead) -duster - u still need it since the duster is a thermal wear in reality -Snowtrooper chest -Snowtrooper boots -Snowtrooper forearms -Snowtrooper gloves and hand armor -Snowtrooper shoulders (might smooth them out) -Biker Scout knees -Biker Scout helmet -Biker Scout back and pack -Carbine

I might use a duster just because I like the way it looks, but it won't be acurate to the picture. And can you imagine trying to get on a speeder with a duster in the way? But since there aren't three pictures of this and we have no hope of it being accepted by the 501st, I guess it doesn't matter. Which Kotobukiya model are you refering to? Chad

Everything are as per snowtrooper outfit accept the biker tank and helmet Front view Walking across street side view side view with bikerscout tank sit down position
