After shameless lurking I thought it was high time to come out of the shadows (but what better place is there for a spec ops trooper to lurk?) and let you all know a bit about me and what I have been up to. My principle interest is anything in armor, pref stormy armor or varients. For about 6 months I have been Active over on the Garrison Tyranus boards (my local garrison) where I go by the name of "Raven".

(I choose the name "Raifer" for reason of it being my fave charecter in the film " The Wild Geese" which is all about a commando team in Africa... a darn good film all things considered ...but I digress.)

I am about 2/3rds of the way through a Black Scout build... Its not a full commando yet but will I hope evolve into one just as soon as a consensus is reached on what one actualy looks like :)

some of the Tyranus folks sugested I post my build over here. so I will...

the armor is standard scout fodder... which I primed then added about six coats of spray black (three mattcoat and three gloss coats) to. I am now using a high sheen gloss spay to slowly seal it all in.


I now have the armor mostly done but some work remains.

the flight suit is also sorted out and the boots done (thank god for the BSN scout boot tutorial!!!).


Gauntlets and a scout blaster are the last bits of kit I have still to buy and mod.
I do need "a bit" of help on some last touches to what I have done so far:

1. The Bucket is going well but... I am short of good pics of the helmet up close, I need some shots of legion approved buckets to see color and shape varients on fishhooks, rear bar markings, snout coloration and also the approved color of the elevator bolt flat faces on the visor mountings.

2. Tank topper.... color and variation pics

3. Tank side trims .... matt black on gloss black?

4. ribbed neck or balaclava? I am leaning toward ribbed neck but will bow to spec ops consensus.

(any help would be great)

;)

PS.... COULD A MOD MOVE THIS TO THE SHADOW SCOUT?COMMANDO COSTUME SECTION?

THANK YOU>
