They look good to me!

Awesome! Thank you!!

Alright so I have the first post with all the text updated to the format we used for Lt. Janek Sunber so that it flows into the CRL wiki when able. I also added the cod piece part into the abdomen armor section from the posts above. The pictures have been edited and we'll need that separate ab plate pic if we can get it on the Google Drive folder. We'll also need to hash out a character description which goes below the context part of the CRL.

Here you go: I have a T-strap of nylon which has Veclro on each end and then a third elastic strap that comes out to attach to my shoulder bell. There is another elastic strap with two Velcro ends which go on top of the aforementioned T-strap. You can see it layered here. You could probably achieve it all with one strap but the L2 details for that state the following: Chest and back shall be connected with a black fabric (preferably elastic) that does not stick out or show under the shoulder plastic straps. Are you looking for placement? All depends on if you are going for basic approval or are planning on going L2 (Specialist). Here are some pics of mine: A bunch of pics from my Anovos kit are in my Specialist thread: Also some good intel in this thread of @ukswrath:

I used a T-shaped strap with Velcro on all 3 ends and then used a velcro/elastic combo over top of that to tie both pieces together (chest and back).

That was the best part of having a TK and going to a TX as well, used the same cuts and measurements and it made it 10 times easier

Very nice! A very rewarding experience for sure

You can take a bunch of that off, there is no requirement for a return edge at basic level approval. If you are going to for Specialist (L2 with detachment) then I'd plan on leaving only 3/8" (10mm) around all edges. Personally, I'd even leave 3/8" (10mm) for basic as it adds a level of depth to the armor.

Very flexible and strived for realism! It is great to see the hard work pay off! Great job!

Haha I like it!

I think that works out beautifully! I appreciate including the rationale for it and I agree with it. We'll keep that in our deck in case it is asked. Thanks for reworking the wording for it.

Very nice! Make sure to remove the little clips and such on them as well.

Time to hit up this text again!

I like that shine! I second using that black as the base from the primer, never has failed me! Same with a lighter color primer or base under a bright color you wanna pop my ROTJ royal guard helmet is lookin' good cause of that.

I like it!

Ahhh yeah, I see that now!

Well done!

I just checked this and glad to see you on the roll with it! As for those tips, the initial mesh that you had on there was actually good for L2 as it is the wide-type mesh. Here are some other approved L2 examples:

Update the Olive Gloves text to remove the reference to "no straps".

There is nothing else that I can see, the Anovos helmets were pretty L2 out of the box! Just verify that the neck trip is indeed the S-type trim and not U-shaped trim; I believe that all of their kits had it.

@DashNolan very nice! It looks great!

You too, good work!

I learned something new as well! Thanks @nanotek

That is really strange, almost looks like it was in something with sand for awhile.
