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:

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) -

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. -
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.

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?

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

What do you need specifically? I haven't completed a build yet, but may be able to help

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!

I believe most (if not all) of the modern armor that has been created since R1 has been a flexible PU. -

Crowdsourcing is an effective method! Good to see you back at this project! -

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!

I think the colour of the armor looks pretty good -

Can you please try again but provide me with screenshots and the date/time of the error. I need the time zone you are in too

Imperial Army Trooper - Andor - CRL Discussion
nanotek replied to nanotek's topic in Imperial Army Trooper - Andor
I just want to address the point of multiple CRL's versus versioning as the detachment already has taken the position that if the variations (or "characters") are essentially the same costume then we will use versioning. An example of this is the Mudtrooper where all variations are versions of the same costume documented as such. Another example is the Imperial Death Trooper where there is the Version 1 baseline and the Imperial Death Trooper Specialist which is version 2. Therefore if this soft costume gets approved for inclusion in our library it will form Version 1 of the Imperial Army Trooper - Aldhani. -

My brain may be fried and I am not understanding what you are saying. Are you asking for two separate CRL's (Like the TIE reserve) or one CRL with the following versions: V1 Soft Parts only V2 Armor with cap V3 Armor with Helmet -

nanotek replied to nanotek's topic in Imperial Army Trooper - Andor
I just wanna stop by and say thanks to everyone for their input into this CRL, it is very much appreciated! Keep up the great work I look forward to submitting this to the LMO for review. I also just wanted to let you know that I had a healthy discussion with the DL from IOC over including the soft version of this costume in this CRL and have applied to the LMO team. I'll let you know what the outcome is hopefully over the next couple of weeks. -

nanotek replied to nanotek's topic in Imperial Army Trooper - Andor
I think I understand what you are asking and I will try to answer as best as I can. If there is enough distinct visible evidence to support a characteristic or feature then it lends itself to be a baseline requirement. The interchangeable argument is interesting in that this is not an OT costume and in the same way that other OT parts are not interchangeable with newer ones is an argument that could be applied here perhaps? On the other hand does it make a huge visible difference to the costume when viewed from afar? Probably not! I prefer to hear from all parties about these sorts of things because I tend to lean towards accuracy over other considerations. If I see something I cannot unsee it unfortunately, and that's when I fall back on the wider group to discuss, even if it hurts my brain to ignore what I see. At the end of the day I'm here to facilitate discussion, ask questions (sometimes dumb ones) and try to make sure that the text/pics make sense. What is reasonably decided by the group is what will be submitted for approval. I hope that helps! -

From those pics it seems to be on every belt. Just an FYI but we have been granted permission by the LMO team to proceed with the Ferrix variant called "Imperial Security Trooper" I have created a topic here I think once we are done with this CRL it should be a simple matter of copying this CRL with some adjustments.
