Anyone troop with a Master Replicas?

I shifted my focus and ended up finishing a Biker Scout costume, and have been trooping with that costume for a few months. My Boba ESB is about 90% done, but I'm hesitant to take the MR out and troop with it. Am thinking of selling it and using the $$$ to buy something a little more "troop-able". Just wondering if anybody has used one out in the wild and had any feedback.
 
are you talking about the MR helmet or blaster? the blaster is heavy, expensive, and it needs a repaint. the helmet is expensive, has a weird pinch to the mandibles, and needs at least a touch up paint job (but let's be real, it'll turn into a full repaint). if it's the blaster you want to sell, i'd suggest getting a hyperfirm blaster, they're made of rubber, making them much lighter and incredibly durable. if it's the helmet, then you have a whole lot of options.

It's the helmet, which in and of itself is pretty heavy, but that's coming from a Scout who is now used to a very light ABS bucket and probably needs to toughen up a bit :)
 
where can I get biker scout boots from ? Next to my rotj fett suit that I am making I am also doing a biker scout suit.
 
there's some good tutorials on how to make scout boots on bikerscout.net. i've made a pair for a friend using that tut with a pair of walmart brand brahma boots (wheat colored) and about a yard and a half of white marine vinyl. total cost was just under $40 i think.
 
I know one guy here in the UK who troops with the MR Helmet, I suppose a good BM, FP or similar will probably cost similar to buying it at retail, dunno how much they go for these days though
 
Only thing is, the MR will continue to rise in value, dunno if you wanna troop with something that will eventually cost a butt load.
