Looks good!

Looks good to me!

Only suggestion I have on the pauldron is mentioning the under strap attaching to the underside of pauldron with the snap.

I was following a build from a member who was an actual clone on the film and built his kit exactly how the orginal was rigged. I'm happy to leave it out. I only mentioned it as an extra detail people could have if they wanted.

No worries man. We will help any way we can!

I'm fine to leave it as until more photos surface. Being the hot toys is our only real reference that's what we have to go off of.

Are you referring to my suggestion for the knee armor or my suggestion if lvl 2 rigging? I'm fine to leave out the lvl 2 rigging details. I was just mentioning it incase people wanted to add it but if we don't that's cool. If it's in reference to my suggestion for the knee that strap is visible and specifically detailed, that's why I feel it should be outlined. If we wanna remove the reference to it being a "clone strap" that's fine aswell.

Here are some photos of my shin armor. This is the new style that should be used on the purge trooper. Here is my suggested revision. Shin armor: . Armor is gloss black to match rest of armor . Armor is correctly sized to the wearer . Armor is a 2 piece construction with a front and rear part joined together . 2 seams are visible down both sides of armor . One seam must be able to open up allowing room for leg to be slid through. The inner lip of this seam should be recessed lower to allow room for velcrow to make both side of armor sit level when closed. . Bottom of armor should slope down from the top of the ankle to the heal . Armor closely resembles the realistic style clone shin with the added detail of a recessed arch on the lower end by the heal of the armor.

Afew more notes. Knee armor: the rear strap is a black clone trooper style rubber strap (I can send photos of mine). Also the outside edges of armor are smooth with the strap attaching on the inside with snaps or velcro. Shin armor: the shins are a seemed clam style armor like the rest. It's a 2 peice style with no trap door piece on the rear like the older clones. It has seems down both sides with the outside seem opening to allow leg to slide through. This can be seen in the reference photos and the Adam savage clone video. Radio: I'll start by saying your radio outline is awesome and I don't think there are any specific details that need changed. The only thing I might recommend is laxing the details a tad. I feel this is very much like the dengar back pack where there are no really good photos of the radio so we should allow alittle creative freedom with some things until some better photos surface. However this is just a suggestion. If it stayed just how it was I think that would be fine aswell. Chest armor: with reference to the red light cap. I think it would be fair to require this To illuminated since it is shown to be lit in the film. And it would be incredibly easy to install one light in there. Also where the gap is there is a black peice of rubber that goes on the inside to help fill the gap but gap edges are still visible. Thigh armor: this isn't a huge detail but specifically with the thighs I feel we should require the 2 strap rigging to garter belt. The reason for this is this was strategically done to hold thigh armor straight and prevent rotating while wearing and walking. Since this causes a cosmetic difference to the kit I feel it's fair to require it. Abdomen plate and belt: this one is tricky. In the films the belt and Abdomen plates are attached as one piece. I don't know that this is something that needs to be required just mentioning it for discussion.

Freaking Scott Killin it! Looks like someone made good use of the time off from the holiday;) afew things I might suggest Chest armor: reading it is sounds like you have written there should be no gab on the bottom corners where the front and back armor meet. This would be incorrect. There is a gap between them on the screen used kits. Also for larger troopers it would be impossible for there to be no gap there on the sides. Let me know if I miss read the description. Knee armor: there is also padding on the inside of the knee to elevate the knee armor off knee. I would recommend adding that lvl 2 detail.

I agree on the strapping. If we keep it level2 then that leaves rigging open for everyone for Lvl 1. We will just keep the clone armor thing for now and if he decides it's not necessary we can remove it later.

They are close but not exact. I would sell it and buy the correct R1 tk undersuit

Right thigh armor: . Movie realistic clone thigh armor . Armor is a 2 piece construction with front and back pieces being joined together. There should be 2 visible seams down both sides of the armor . Armor is sized to the wearer . Armor is painted gloss black to match the rest of the armor . Armor is rigged to a garter belt with 2 1" straps the are attached to the front outer edge of thigh armor. "this particular detail can be seen in the Adam savage video" Left thigh armor: . Movie realistic clone thigh armor . Armor is a 2 piece construction with front and back pieces being joined together. There should be 2 visible seams down both sides of the armor . Armor is sized to the wearer . Armor is painted gloss black to match the rest of the armor . Armor is rigged to a garter belt with 2 1" straps the are attached to the front outer edge of inner thigh armor. "this particular detail can be seen in the Adam savage video"

I understand your point on the reference to other armor. With this particular costume how ever I do feel it's important to mention "movie realistic clone armor". The reason for this is the armor is clearly clone trooper armor and the problem with clones is there are allot of variations. Without mentioning "realistic style clone armor". People could say "oh hey that's just clone armor" and could buy animated or other style clone armor if they didn't understand the difference witch would not be approvable. Afew minutes of research on Google would show the difference between the types of clone armor so I don't feel it's unreasonable to expect people to do some research on there own. Clone armor is very particular so you have to be very specific. Thats also why i mentioned the seems cause the OG realistic clone armor had no seams. We could alter it to say "movie realistic style clone armor" As for the strapping the only reason I recommended those as level 2 requirements is because that's how the movie suits were rigged so it's just an extra detail. There is a member on the clone trooper detachment who was an actual clone in kenobi and build and rigged his armor exactly like the one he wore in the film so felt it could be a lvl 2 detail. If we decide we don't want to mention it for level 2 that's Fine aswell. I was also basing some of that off of what is seen in the Adam savage close up clone video.

I was thinking maybe we do the legs since they are super easy regular clone armor and get them out of the way then move onto the center armor parts that we will need to spend more time on. Is there anything you suggest changing on the arms before we move on? Should we split the bicep armor into a left and right like I did with the forearms?

Left hand plate: . realistic style clone hand plate . Hand plate is attached and centered on top of glove . Armor is painted gloss black to match the rest of the armor Right hand plate: Left hand plate: . realistic style clone hand plate . Hand plate is attached and centered on top of glove . Armor is painted gloss black to match the rest of the armor

Right Forearm armor: . Realistic style clone Forearm armor . Armor is a 2 peice design with a top and bottom. Armor is joined together with 2 visible seams on both sides . Armor is painted gloss black to match the rest of the armor . Compad greeblie is positioned on the topside of the Forearm and is identical to the clone trooper compad. Compad is painted gloss black to match the rest of the armor Lvl 2 . A 1 inch black elastic strap runs from the inside elbow to the inside of the forearm armor Left forearm armor: .Realistic style clone Forearm armor . Armor is a 2 peice design with a top and bottom. Armor is joined together with 2 visible seams on both sides . Armor is painted gloss black to match the rest of the armor Lvl 2 . A 1 inch black elastic strap runs from the inside elbow to the inside of the forearm armor

I also realized something was missing here. Bicep armor . Realistic style clone bicep armor .there are seams that run along the sides of the armor connecting front to back. . Right side is painted gloss black to match rest of armor . Left side is painted gloss red . Armor is specific left to right . A 1 inch black strap runs from the inside side of bicep and attaches to elbow armor . Bicep must sit under shoulder bell

I've moved on to the elbow. Elbow armor .realistic style clone elbow armor . Painted gloss black to match the rest of the armor . There is a small rectangular greeblie on the out side corner of the armor. .a black rubber strap is attached the both inner ends of armor and wraps around the inside pit of the elbow. The strap is flat with 2 raised ridges that run along the outside edges of the strap Lvl 2 . The inside of the armor is padded to slightly elevate the armor off elbow .there are 2 elastic straps that run down from the bicep armor and attach to the inner sides the elbow.

Bicep armor . Realistic style clone bicep armor . Right side is painted gloss black to match rest of armor . Left side is painted gloss red . Armor is specific left to right . A 1 inch black strap runs from the inside side of bicep and attaches to elbow armor . Bicep must sit under shoulder bell Thoughts?

Shoulder bells .The shoulder bells are considered effectively symmetrical; they may be worn interchangeably on the left and right shoulders .The top center is recessed between the two ridges and runs from the top of the shoulder to the bicep and notches into the lower rectangular area .A raised ridge runs along the bottom edge and angles up to meet the top ridges along the side. .the armor is painted gloss black .there is a black 1 inch strap that attaches shoulder armor to shoulder straps from chest and back armor. .there is a webbing strap that runs down and connects bicep armor to shoulder armor Lvl 2 .shoulder bells have padding on inside that makes the shoulder armor sit slightly elevated off arm So this is what we have. Are we content for now so we can move on to the bicep armor?

Yeah I like that. I mentioned realistic style clone just as a base but I agree Maybe we shouldn't mention that to avoid confusion.
