complete Sithtrooper Thighs - Draft CRL Development Discussion

[nanotek[CMD-DWM]]

Ready for agreement

Thighs

• Finished in a high gloss deep red that matches the colors of the entire costume
  • No holster is present on either thigh
  • Each thigh is comprised of 7 sections, front, inner-front, inner-rear, rear, outer-rear, outer, outer-front
  • Front and rear sections are both raised slightly in appearance and smooth flat surfaces. A diagonal channel runs from the top outer edge of the section panel, to about 1/2 way down towards the inner thigh
  • Each Front inner thigh section has a number of evenly spaced, diagonally recessed lines, starting from top of the section sloping downward from the wearers cod to the front of the thigh terminating 3/4 down the thigh.
    • Left thigh recessed lines terminate approximately at the top of the sniper plate
    • Right thigh recessed lines terminate approximately half-way between the "chocolate bars" 
    • Angle of the recesses is roughly 33 degrees from the font section edge
  • Each Rear outer panel has a number of evenly spaced, diagonal recessed lines that slope downwards from outer to inner thigh
  • Each outer section forms a visible vertical seam towards the wearers front, is smooth and has a clip greeblie near the top
  • Each thigh has the appearance of an overlap on the inner thigh where the inner-front section overlaps the inner-rear section
  • Front bottom edges of the thigh are angular in nature and dip towards the wearers knee from the sides
• Right thigh 
  • There are two vertical rectangular boxes above the knee that have chamfered edges that look like "chocolate bars"
  • Each box sits in a slightly larger recessed cavity towards the top leaving a small recessed section exposed at the bottom
  • Recessed channel that traverses the front 3 panels roughly 25-30mm from the bottom
• Left Thigh 
  • Large hexagonal 'sniper plate' just above the knee which has two raised rectangular 'boxes' in the centre of the upper left and upper right faces of the sniper plate
  • two dark grey or matt black, rectangular shaped recesses above the sniper plate, are angled slightly outwards from the knee

OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable):

• Inner thigh section has approximately 45 evenly spaced recessed lines
• Outer-rear section has approximately 34 evenly spaced recessed lines
• Greeblie clip is the correct thigh greeblie clip (see diagram) and appears to be slotted into a recess (i.e it doesn't sit on top of the armour)
• The inner-front section overlaps the inner-rear section forming an overlapping closure

Will be interesting to see what decision is made regarding the right leg thigh holster. It only appears on toys and figures and not  promo kits or production created armour.

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.

I'll take a look at the reference photos from toys and on screen and perhaps we can make the holster optional. We did that with a few things in the shadow stormtrooper and are going to add with the Kenner toy just released.

All of the toys are inaccurate and in my opinion should only be used when there is no other reference material available. Even the 1/6th scale toy has some very obvious inaccuracies! There is no holster on any of the screen used armor displays and I believe we should adhere to this.

We can wait for the film to be released on DVD, but I would say it was a decision the toymakers.
