Hey nice work on this armor!! Q: On your website, does the "armor kit" option include the "belt kit"? Or do I have to buy it separately?

If there is a chance to check this it would be great and tell me where I should go. But I admit that I would like the character to remain in this detachment. Rules are rules. Of course there is no rush.

In the character description, reading that he is an elite TK made me think he was a SpecOps, like Task Force 99, they are an elite stormtrooper squadron. But I could be wrong. @IcyTrooper

Hi everyone, me again. I was going to post this on the FISD Detachment forum, but while creating the post, I thought it should be better here. Years ago I had my eye on this character from the Force Arena game: TK-7193 Well my question is simple, if I built this suit, would it be possible to create a CRL for this character? It has similarities with the TFU TK which already has a CRL in FISD, but we have some differences in the handplates, shoulders,boots, thermal detonator, "ear" painting, battle damage and of course the black pauldron. Anyway, I have the 3D model available directly from the game as a reference and it would be a simple project compared to Sergeant Kreel. I just need to know if I create this suit, the CRL would be possible.

I used a Ben Kenobi saber, then I made physical modifications, so there is no 3d file, sorry.

I have an unassembled clone armor kit.? There would be no problem using the regular clone parts for this build?

I didn't think this would happen, but yes. A figure of Kreel. Take my money Hasbro https://hasbropulse.com/collections/star-wars-the-black-series/products/star-wars-the-black-series-sergeant-kreel

It has 7.

Excellent news, thanks for the work. Estoy muy agradecido, por el tiempo y esfuerzo. ?

This is one of the reasons I think the ab is hard armor. In my opinion it makes no sense to have a kidney plate and ab with soft material. Thinking about the character, it would be a weak point for him. And thinking about reality, the suit would not look very good. If there was no kidney plate, as in other versions of the character, it would be very different, I would buy the idea that it is soft material. But again, it's just my opinion. To follow the standards, and knowing this armor is a TK armor. it would be good to maintain that requirement.

In my opinion I do not see anything that indicates that the ab is made of soft material.

105mm x 45mm x 8mm

I agree with you. If I separate the ab and cod from my suit, and take pictures, it will look exactly the same as it is right now. Something similar happens with realistic clonetrooper armors

And if that area points to the circle, is it just the shadow of the belt?

Sounds good to me. Are you going to include that in the CRL before publishing it?

Looks great.? Good progress, this project is more complicated than Sergeant Kreel, the references are more limited, but you are doing very well.

Most recent images. All ready. Later I hope to make improvements to increase the quality of the suit. Like a functional lightsaber. Get the blaster, upgrade the ammo pouches, a version 2 of the holographic communicator. Armor upgrades, things like that.

Frist. Welcome to the world of inconsistent references ?? It's complicated, but I think your model interprets the correct version. I agree that it is larger than a regular TK shoulder armor. The raised area and style I see it very well, I imagine that both sides are the same? I see in the drawings, it has a thick edge. I do not know how thick the edge on your design.

This should be sufficient. we could add: The metal has a chrome appearance, main hilt and hand grip are black in color. For Lv2 the lightsaber has a green colored blade. I don't know, things like that.

Sounds good. Thanks

Here are the measurements, sorry for the delay. Left bicep: Left thigh: Belt / right thigh: About the pouch of the bicep, I think it should be a little bigger, BUT the distance between the shoulder armor and armor bicep (the rest of the bicep, because it's on top.) makes them a bit more difficult to have consistent size references.

In my opinion, yes. I build mine using those pouches as a reference. With some adjustments. in thickness and shape. When I get back from work I can give you the measurements of mine so you have an idea.

That strap on the right thigh only appears once. the rest of the images are missing. About the size of the pouches, there is no consistency in the pictures, they have different size. But, I used as a guide the size armor thigh vs pouche as a ratio

Well, technically I think there are 4 different versions of the whole squad. ?

I understand the point. But I don't see evidence to tell me that that section of the armor is just the undersuit. As Raider says, there is no folding, there are no wrinkles, the white lines are always seen in their position. But, on the other hand, we do not have more elements, only what we already mentioned to ensure that this section is rigid armor. It's complicated actually. This cartoon shows a black abdomen, without light reflections or any other factor that helps to interpret what material it is made of. The Havoc trooper is an example of how we might interpret this section of armor. But the Havoc trooper has both the adbomen and the lower back, uncovered, without armor. Kreel has lower back armor, that is a factor that in my opinion, makes me assure that the addomen is rigid armor as well. But, it's just my interpretation. I don't have the absolute truth. Let's look at this artist interpretation. In his design he interprets that the lower back has no armor as well, and shows it as the undersuit and it looks great. But the comics definitely show that the character has lower back armor. That is what I can conclude, but I cannot assure you that it is the correct thing to do. ?
