Great start! Looking forward to seeing how your build progresses

For those of you who are interested in the thigh strapping, I found a reference picture that shows how the thighs are strapped. This is similar to the Death Trooper where there are two straps placed more to the outside of the hip to promote better movement whilst holding the thigh in a reasonable position I had to boost the contrast way up, but you can clearly see both straps. Here the pressure is on the front strap because the thigh is positioned more to the back thus a slack back strap. Taken from the original below:

Are you asking if it should be L2? If this is the case then I would say no as it is seen on a lot of the references. It is not uncommon to have measurements on L1 items as has been stated before. The difficulty with a costume like this due to it's complicated design is do we go one rule for all, or mixture. I believe a mixture is the best approach. I think you raise a good point about where the seam is located, a lot of the reference materials show that it sits under the shoulder bell and slopes inwards toward the front of the chest. There are others where you can barely see it to not at all. I think it may be a good idea to word it in a way that shows that either/or is acceptable, but with L2 it will be mandatory. There is a vertical seam on the hips towards the rear where the front and back gasket ribs intersect My opinion is this; It would go without saying that you would see a clear change between the rib directions between the patterns on the front and the back, therefore a seam would be present. It's more to support what a GML would bee seeing. I think it stands at L1 as a default.

Ready for review

This one is now up for review

The whole costume is Polyurethane (flexible rubber) with a shore strength of hard. Maybe around the Shore A70 or Shore D20-30.

If we do include it, it would be optional for level 2, not a mandatory level 2 requirement

I have fixed this area up

Good pickup, no sanity check required. Text updated.

Sure thing

Should be moved to L2, it is a separate requirement about hexagonal mesh not appearing between the teeth. The FOTK from TLJ has mesh between the teeth and is a L1 requirement. I'm not sure how you would see something like that from a generic application. I am starting to think however that this is not a generic costume, and should be submitted differently for approval. You won't be able to see all the different sections of the armour with standard front, sides and back shots. Even with the L1 the way it is

45 degree lines, not 45 lines

I don’t know where the original concept came from and not sure it’s relevant to us as it is a made part. It has been referred to as a clip greeblie since the beginning. It was taken from other CRLs and is the general terminology used by the community. I have created a document to outline the different clip greeblies used across this costume

Changed to: "The right shin has two elongated trapezoidal boxes that are chamfered with one flat section between them evenly spaced in 3rds:"

This is now up for agreement
