Impressive posture! How long did that take?

Thank you! I would say 10-15 minutes of making small adjustments like the angle on the wrists and I had to reseat the magnets in the foot pedals as they weren't catching at first.
I'm still not totally clear why those weren't installed from the outset or why the pedals weren't just made in metal.

Not too bad, that's quicker than I would have thought, but I agree.... small movements is key. Yep, metal pedals, make perfect sense, it's HT, so.... we got plastic,
Lol.When setting up the Remnant Scout and bike, I was trying to be so careful and not snap the handle grips, I took over an hour to get the pose where I wanted it, and after re-straightening all the armor, Lol.

Thanks, Adam.Love this set upI know it’s off topic, but is that the Luke Endor version, or the deluxe? As I thought you’d never be able to get this pose because of the fixed neck HS. I’ll be really happy if it’s the latter.
This is a modified version of the normal Endor Luke with the fixed neck. In order to achieve that “head up” look I I modified the body by shaving back some of the plastic from the back of the neck/shoulders to free up some more backward mobility. This is a pretty straightforward mod and with the outfit on the extra gap isn’t noticeable. I always planned to have a Luke / Scout chase setup so I’m pretty pleased with the mod.

Nice work on the mods, and they can achieve the ideal riding poses, looks awesome! I would like to set up a "riding Scout" the same with some mods for a dedicated on bike display. Thanks for sharing.

Ok, thanks for the info. So if I’m reading it right, you have taken some of the plastic away from the top of the back / shoulder area of the body to allow the neck joint to move further back than it would do normally?

Received my Scout today and he does look really damn good. I thought I'd be content keeping my Sideshow version on the bike, but that one basically looks like a Hasbro figure now in comparison so don't think that's gonna work anymore. Lol
Edit-- ok just ordered another HT head off monkeydepot after checking that it would fit the Sideshow figure. That already makes it look massively better. Only other thing I probably need to replace is the knee armor.

Nice! And it fits right in with the SSC Scout and bike, especially after some upgrades to the Ssc scout. Congrats dj!
Where did you find something like the small ferns and rock behind the HT Scout? That's a great idea. The 2d ferns on the HT topper card just aren't that exciting, Lol.

I just borrowed the ferns from my Endor Luke or Leia. Not sure why that wasn't included with the scout as well.

Right, of course, I knew it looked familiar.
A nice 2d sticker with ferns, leaves and dirt!!! Nope, still not exciting even with extra exclamation marks!!!
Lol. At least the bike set comes with a figure stand and dio stand for the Scout and/or bike. I kinda wish HT would sell the stands separate.

I was chatting with Sideshow yesterday and they said they would ship it same day. My order status has still not changed. This was supposed to charge and ship on August 4th. The only reason I am getting anxious about it is that I will away on vacation for two weeks at the end of this month and I wouldnt have anyone at home to take it in. Knowing my luck it will ship the day I leave on vacation.

Update: it has shipped.
Finally got a hold of someone in Sideshow that could help me. So basically one month after it was supposed to ship it has left Sideshow to cross the big pond to Ireland.
At least it will be here before I go away.

Congrats, aside from being super tall, it’s a great figure.
