  1. Check some of the reference material as a guide, it was a carefully molded component that locks into the rest of the armor. here’s some pics for reference:
  2. Awesome. Just remember to allow for tolerance when making the negative (fancy way of saying allow for the thickness of the material that will be sandwiched between the two)
  3. Some kind of vinyl would work, but you may need to experiment a little with thickness. Stick-on would be great because it would allow you to apply little by little so you can mold it to the front of the helmet. Using some heat would defiantly help. The issue with adhesive backed vinyl is that you only need to apply it to the area you’re sticking it to. Glue means you’re only applying adhesive to the area you need but you may have to find one with a slower curing time to allow you to mold the vinyl into place. You might be able to use Foss adhesive (or similar) It’s used in leather and is very strong but allows some time before curing. I feel like if you made a negative of the part you’re molding to, might help to mold and clamp the vinyl into place.
  4. For discrepancy 1 the lines are approximate, so you’re good there As for discrepancy 2 the gorget, it looks waaaay off and I would look elsewhere or have them fix it up.
  5. Just on the text of the thigh armor, something stood out about the measurement of the white stripes Its says around 2” which didn’t sit right with me so I circled back to other parts for a size reference. The two straps at the front of the Kama are referenced as being 3/4” to 1” and seen here in the same shot I don’t think the white stripe is double that. Might be close to 1 to 1 1/4” approximately?
  6. You might be able to talk to Sheev’s Emporium on Facebook. Jim Tripon also does a fairly accurate set Geeky Pink, you should be able to get good gaskets from her as well. let me know how You get on
  7. What do you need specifically? I haven't completed a build yet, but may be able to help
  8. Yes! A builder! Please also note that the Sith has the armor on the boots, really looking forward to your build and your help in finally forming a CRL for this costume! Many thanks!
  9. I believe most (if not all) of the modern armor that has been created since R1 has been a flexible PU.
  10. If we can get some solid sources that will help with inclusion. Do you intend on building one?
  11. Crowdsourcing is an effective method! Good to see you back at this project!
  12. Getting a true match without a RAL code will be next to impossible. We did have some leads a while back but they all fell silent. The only thing you really need to do is have a consistent costume that is the same red all over. If we can get an update on this we will share it!
