stukatrooper Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 Steve I believe that is just part of the buck .The yoke will Not run that far down on the back .Follow the lines in the mould around the shoulder area ,it will be open at the back so you can slide it on around your neck holding the chest and back.

SW1 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 Arh I see mate, part of the buck that makes sense , I thought that detail matched the end off the forearms Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2 Quote
stukatrooper Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 The dotted line shows the yoke shape that will sit on the front and back plate , bridging them both. Quote
kwdesigns[TK] Posted June 3, 2013 Author Report Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) So I thought I would make a list of the parts and how far I am with the progress. Chest (Done) Back (Done) Yoke (Done) Just need to do a test pull to make sure all is good. Chest & Back Side Connectors (0%) (easy after Chest and back are completed) Ab section (Done) Kidney Section (50%) Belt (front-back) (50%) Belt Amo Boxes (20%) Cod (Done) Butt (Done) Thighs (95%) Lower Legs (Done) Shoulder Bells (Done) Biceps (Done) Forearms (Done) Handbacks (0%) After CE, I plan on making my own interpretation of RMQ helmet. I might make both style helmets and then later I might make the Backpack. Kevin W. Edited June 3, 2013 by kwdesigns Quote
seantrooper[TK] Posted June 3, 2013 Report Posted June 3, 2013 you are the master!!! can't wait to see this come together Quote
stukatrooper Posted June 3, 2013 Report Posted June 3, 2013 Just seeing the word in brackets DONE , I wonder if you realise what this means to us ! Quote
kwdesigns[TK] Posted June 3, 2013 Author Report Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) It's gratafing to me also to be able to list them as Done. I'm thinking about making the Ab plate and Kidney plates assemnle more like the TKs and not making them need to glue on the sides and then made seamless. This will allow for better fitting various sized midsections. Also will make it easier to pack in a smaller bin. Kevin W. Edited June 3, 2013 by kwdesigns Quote
stukatrooper Posted June 3, 2013 Report Posted June 3, 2013 Well ,mate as you have put the panel detailing in the front Ab section blending out to the back kidney this would be 100% feasible and will not detract from the look of the suit.The TK style is tried and tested and having them free from each other would allow the suit to move with the wearer .

jonosf Posted June 5, 2013 Report Posted June 5, 2013 Also will make it easier to pack in a smaller bin. Kevin W. Its a great mind that plans ahead! Quote
kwdesigns[TK] Posted June 5, 2013 Author Report Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) So this shows the recessed areas in the Chest and Back for the Yoke to sit in. The round indent are for magnets to help hold the Yoke down and in place. There will also be velcro at the top of the Harness to help hold all 3 parts in place.

stukatrooper Posted June 5, 2013 Report Posted June 5, 2013 I see a little tab on the Back neck area, Well that be the overlap area ? fantastic. Quote
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted June 6, 2013 Report Posted June 6, 2013 amazing progress! for safety sake couldn't the yoke be made out of formed abs and latex rubber for the actual neck ring part? how many different sized necks will this be able to fit? Quote
SW1 Posted June 6, 2013 Report Posted June 6, 2013 This is going to feel soooooooooo wonderful , being interlocked in to this costume just like C3PO In certain places Outstanding Kevin Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2 Quote
kwdesigns[TK] Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) @ Stukatrooper- Yes there will be a overlap area for the back neckring/yoke. I need to clean that up a bit. @ TK Bondservnt 2392 - few pages back yes we did talk about that idea. As for now they will be vac-formed and the ability to pop the yoke off with magnets will have to do. The size of the neck ring is not going to be the issue. I did make it slightly larger than to scale with the chest and the back because a Harness system will be available with the soft neckseal sewn to it and that will go higher up and better protect the neck. I made sure that the bottom opening of SGB helmet fits over the armor neckring, even though I plan to make my own helmet soon. These are what the Belt Boxes look like. Kevin W.

TK bondservnt[501st] Posted June 12, 2013 Report Posted June 12, 2013 can't wait to see the helmet. are you doing a shield mold? Quote
SW1 Posted June 12, 2013 Report Posted June 12, 2013 Pretty much there now with The McQ Lazer Sword's here is a video testing out the White led out Quote
SW1 Posted June 12, 2013 Report Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) ------- Edited September 25, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote
kwdesigns[TK] Posted June 12, 2013 Author Report Posted June 12, 2013 O'Ya I think the White LED is perfect for the Laser Sword !!!! Quote
SW1 Posted June 12, 2013 Report Posted June 12, 2013 Thank you Kevin , i agree with the white led just somthing about it Ohh yes i have not forgot about your Snail mail will be sending next week Kevin Quote
kwdesigns[TK] Posted June 12, 2013 Author Report Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) As for attaching the Belt Boxes I recommended getting some these. Size - Name 10-32 Threaded T-Nuts 10-32 x 1/2 Flat Philip Machine Screws #8 Finish Washer You will need at lest 6 (one for each belt box) This will allow you to remove them for ease of packing the armor in a bin. I think using some velcro will help keep them from turning. I would also get 2 more sets of T-Nuts to use to attach the Thermal Detonator. _________________________________ These are the round adhesive velcro "Dots" I would use behind the belt boxes. Most importantly you should use these on the Yoke in the front center area. You will not want to use a magnet in the front center because the Harness will have a pocket directly behind that area. So if you ever plan to put a Credit Card or Speaker AMP in the pocket the magnet can ruin it. _________________________________________________________ And these are the magnets to use on the other areas on the Yoke. Rare earth Magnets Disc 3/4 diameter x 1/32" thick. Kevin W. Edited September 25, 2021 by gmrhodes13 photo updated Quote
SW1 Posted June 12, 2013 Report Posted June 12, 2013 Kevin thank you for that info on attaching the belt boxes ;0), what i would like to ask will there be some sort of attachment on the belt for the Lazer Swords there is a D-ring that slides out at the bottom of the Lazer Swords and yes the blades are detachable and will look really cool just hanging from the belt Quote
kwdesigns[TK] Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) I was thinking that the Lazer Sword handle would rest between the raised areas on this side amo belt box. I think adding a hook between to hold it would work great. I don't image the hook being on the belt like Jedi. I think using this amo box for the Laser Sword, visually makes sense to me. Kevin W.

stukatrooper Posted June 13, 2013 Report Posted June 13, 2013 outstanding stuff guys, did I see a McQuarrie two tone triangle on the sword Steve ? Quote
