Arnie_DK[TK] Posted September 15, 2014 Report Posted September 15, 2014 Heard there was a problem with the back plate details. Have you heard anything about it to confirm or deny this? Quote
Dday[501st] Posted September 15, 2014 Report Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) I read and got confirmed the same thing from a few weeks ago. The biggest problem is the backplate changes each time it is seen. There is 1 super clear shot of the backplate in the comic, but other then that, there is only the statue for a clear shot. So the question is do you pick one vs the other. I keep hoping I will see something on the legion forums, like a public vote or something. Edited September 15, 2014 by Dday 1 Quote
bzb Posted September 15, 2014 Report Posted September 15, 2014 Is it a matter of this being the appropriate place for this CRL? Should it be with the EU folks instead? I know over at SLD, they only really take care of the movie Sith... Quote

I know over at SLD, they only really take care of the movie Sith... We tend to be the caretakers of the white EU stormtrooper-esque costumes. We have more resources than most detachments to do so. FISD certainly has the largest body of experts. -Eric Quote

I know over at SLD, they only really take care of the movie Sith... I don't think the problem is which detachment it should go to. My guess is it will fall within the FISD, since it is a stormtrooper, just a legacy one. 1 Quote
bzb Posted September 15, 2014 Report Posted September 15, 2014 Gotcha. So really, the hold up is some folks worried about the back plate details? That kind of nitpicking seems inconsistent, considering we allow FX armor to be approved. Quote
bzb Posted September 15, 2014 Report Posted September 15, 2014 1. Closed like clone armor with plastic tabs and a strap 2. Havent begun on the belt yet 2. He comes and goes sometimes. Give him some time and try writing him again in a week or two Can you detail #1 a little more? I'm not familiar enough with clones to have any idea on that method and have been digging a little too much on this... I figure you probably have a link stashed Quote

My guess is it will fall within the FISD, since it is a stormtrooper, just a legacy one. Correct, that's typically been the split for FISD vs. SpecOps. We keep the white armor based TK's... Quote

I haven't seen one fully finished yet. Thanks! Quote
bzb Posted September 21, 2014 Report Posted September 21, 2014 Ah, very cool idea, thank you Arnie. Michael - looks outstanding! Quote

TK6682[TK] Posted September 22, 2014 Report Posted September 22, 2014 Yes, I just used velcro so we can interchange the JG armor and the Bikini armor. Both use the same belt. Quote
bzb Posted September 24, 2014 Report Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) Need a little advice here. Do I reshape the entire edge of the butt to match up at the point where it meets the ab plate? Edited September 26, 2021 by gmrhodes13 photo updated Quote
TK6682[TK] Posted September 25, 2014 Report Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) I used elastic on the butt/kidney connection so once the girls got in it it stretched to the appropriate location. That being said, some of it is covered by the belt. Edited September 25, 2014 by TK6682 Quote
bzb Posted September 25, 2014 Report Posted September 25, 2014 Thanks Michael - so you just left the butt plate as-is without really trimming/reshaping it? I guess I can just take off the return edge where it may be overlapped... Quote
Arnie_DK[TK] Posted September 26, 2014 Report Posted September 26, 2014 I had the same question, and a few pages back, you will see Kev advised against cutting anymore of the butt plate. So just leave it as it is and let it overlap the torso on the outside 1 Quote
bzb Posted September 26, 2014 Report Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) Appreciate it. Yeah, I had to go back a few pages, need more angles or something, maybe! After watching Michael's video again (creeper alert! annnnnd this thread takes a turn) I decided to straighten the butt plate edge somewhat. I think I got it, but I may still remove the return edge at the corner. Wife wouldn't let me take pics of her butt last night But she's happy with the fit - and getting quite excited that it's starting to come together without tape! ----------- Edited September 26, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote
Rogue_Two[501st] Posted September 28, 2014 Report Posted September 28, 2014 Helmet looks great TK6682! I was wondering is everyone going with 11 tube stripes? Are they gloss black? Quote
TK6682[TK] Posted September 28, 2014 Report Posted September 28, 2014 11 matte black clone style pill shaped stripes looked the best in my opinion. Quote
Rogue_Two[501st] Posted September 29, 2014 Report Posted September 29, 2014 11 does look great. Are the mic tips matte as well? Quote
