R1 Stormtrooper Bell and Bicep armour attachment

[ireachy]

Hi,

 

just wondering if anyone has discussed the 'new' attachment method for the bicep to shoulder bell armour used on the new stormtrooper armour? Couldn't find anything in the various threads.

 

I took this pics at Celebration Europe, and noted that there is a new attachment method, compared to the established OT rig.

 

I hope that these pics are helpful to the forum. I have many others - currently posted on the RPF, but i can link these here if they are helpful?

 

Best,

Reachy

Thanks for sharing these. Once people start making Rogue One armor this will be useful.

 

I must admit that this armor keeps getting weirder and weirder..

I do like the helmet in that the smaller details aren't just stickers, but are actual pieces, brings more reality to the spectrum

Apparently the mouth plate is meant to be taken off for repairs and maintenance (thats what they said in the archeology panel). Would love to see how it looks without it.

Yerrp, why do anything simple when you can over complicate things and ignore all the tried and tested ways that worked so well

 

 

 

 

Evidence of this can also be found on the R1 Shoretrooper

Looks like a less conspicuous way of keeping the shoulder bell attached, rather than having a very noticeable black strip wrapping around the bicep.

I like how it attaches, it's like they're doing evrything to avoid velcro

 

Does anybody know what the metal artifact on the strapping is?

The TFA Troopers used a similar system.
