are we going to specify methods of rigging? other than that, looks good

Codpiece Finished in a high gloss deep red that matches the colors of the entire costume Connected to the belt/abdomen assembly Has the appearance of two separate pieces joined together upper section is a trapezoid shape lower section is a tapering rectangle that extends beneath costume connected to posterior?

Posterior Finished in a high gloss deep red that matches the colors of the entire costume Attaches to the belt/abdomen assembly Has a recessed trapezoidal section, with ribbed details running horizontally connected via elastic to cod piece?

Looks good to me.

Thighs Finished in a high gloss deep red that matches the colors of the entire costume No holster is present on either thigh seams visible on the inside of both thighs Raised section sits on the front section of both thighs, with a diagonal line running from the top outside edge to the inside edge Right thigh two vertical rectangular boxes above the knee recessed line that runs along the front face, traveling from the outside panel to the inside edge, (measurment) from the bottom Ribbed details on the inside of the thigh, traveling at a 45 degree angle, upwards to the edge of the armor, starting from the middle of the rectangular box details Ribbed details starting from the edge of the 'outside' panel, traveling at a 45 degree angle, downwards to the edge of the armor. Outside Panel has a clip greeplie at the top of the panel Left Thigh Large hexagonal 'sniper plate' just above the knee has two raised rectangular 'boxes' in the center of the upper left and upper right faces two pill shaped holes above the sniper plate, angled slightly inwards Ribbed details on the inside of the thigh, traveling at a 45 degree angle, upwards to the edge of the armor, starting from the middle of the rectangular box details Ribbed details starting from the edge of the 'outside' panel, traveling at a 45 degree angle, downwards to the edge of the armor. Outside Panel has a clip greeplie at the top of the panel

Belt All parts Finished in a high gloss deep red that matches the color of the entire costume Attached flush to the bottom of the abdomen Made from a material that matches the rest of the armor 5 Belt boxes are attached on the front half of the belt 2 'large' drop boxes (measurements here) Diagonal line running across the front face from corner to corner (each box is a mirror of the other) A recess runs around the entire perimeter of the edges of the box approximately (measurement) from the face 1 'medium' box 1 'medium' drop box 2 horizontal boxes on the front, on each side of the center

Looks good to me. Do we have any more concerns about the handplate?

looks solid. One thing ive been curious about is the "seal" (for lack of a better word) that seems to be on the inside edge of the bucket (where your head would slide in. Assuming its a flexible piece, like the rest of the armor, is that something we're going to be looking for at baseline?) For L2, perhaps we run it like the shortrooper and make the recesses beneath the brow at L2? Although it seems just about everyone making the bucket at the moment has accounted for this. The double lens and separate teeth should also be L2. Everything else should probably be baseline.

my concern with using rubber/silicone is color matching. its nigh impossible to get a finish that'll stay on flexible materials like that, especially with such a high friction location. Whatever color you cast in, is ideally what it'll remain, and so while we havent nailed down a specific code of red to use, i can imagine slight variations of red depending on global product availability becoming an issue for slightly off color gorgets.

if its any help, this is the back of my jim kit fully sealed up. The seam is definitely there, but only really visible if you're looking for it. Its definitely a piece that would not fit around my head if it didnt have an opening. https://imgur.com/a/Y63Iek9 edit: (seems im at my attachment quota? Linked it to an imgur post instead)

So do we have anymore input so far the thigh holster goes? Both watches of TRoS for me didnt show any sign of the holster on the screen. Im inclined to believe it was an addition to the toys for accessories sake.

Hey there friends. I've been wanting to join the Spec Ops detachment for a while now, and the Sith Trooper has finally pushed me over the edge. Anyways, I figure i'd record my build log in here in detail. I'll insert a full write up of my process and rigging when I have some time to take photos of everything.
