Micro Med Kits My first troop I ever did was before I was a member of the 501st. I went to a Ren Fair in Colorado in the summer in the summer of 2001. I had the Armor FX and it was all velcro. It was near 100 and that kit fell apart after a couple of hours. I never considered having a repair or med kit for a troop. I didn't have the experience. A fellow trooper saved me with some white tape. I knew a med kit was a needed thing. I have a repair/med kit for each costume, but I've found that when I go to a troop like a parade or even that takes us far from our tubs, it's all about what you have on you if something goes wrong. In my TK, there's not a lot I can have on me compared to my Scout with my pouches. So, I created what I call Micro Repair or Micro Med Kits. I use our Challenge Coin sleeves and as my base for the pouch as it's thick and flexible. I used CA glue to glue the back side of the coin sleeve to a little ABS piece. Then I glued a black nylon piece to the top to act as a tab. The back side of the ABS has a tiny piece of hook velcro. I glued that on the ABS piece too just make sure it didn't come off. What I do is I tuck this micro kit in the arm armor. The black nylon tab can either be tucked in to hide it or have it out to easily grab it. (Think of it like Spiderman's web shooters, just angle your wrist out a little and grab the tab and pull out your kit.) In the arm armor, there's a strip of loop velcro where the kit attaches. This little kit is small enough to pull in and out as long as you have a little room at the wrist part of the armor. The ABS Piece is solid enough it helps you push it back in to the arm armor when you are done with it. I only take these on events that take me a good distance away from the storage tubs. They really don't bother my arm or are in the way. You also won't have them fall out and not notice. Because it's light enough, even the little velcro keeps it from falling out. I did have to experiment a little to get the right amount of hook velcro to make sure I can pull it out, but also that it won't fall down when arms are down. I don't really notice them, but haven't had long troops with them yet. This is a newer idea with not a ton of hours on them. Oddly, I've not used them for myself aside from Advil, but I've pulled them out for a couple of other troopers at an event. Here's what is in each micro kit: Micro Repair Kit: Roll of white duct tape, swatch of industrial velcro, cleaning wipe, sewing needles with heavy nylon thread both white and black, pencil erasure (to put the point of the needles and to use for scuff marks) and safety pins Micro Med Kit: Band-aid, tissue, $5 (for a bottled water if the situation occurs), and medicine pills (these include meds for headache, stomachache, heartburn, allergies, head cold, and a breath mint) I added some labels with the mini-imperial cog logo for fun on each one too. (Not pictured is a mini multi tool used for cutting if needed that is attached to one of the kits)

(No Need for AMS%2C or Supports!)-1477762 Description: We designed this Gingerbread AT-AT to be a realistic representation of the real thing! It has 13 joints (3 per leg and 1 for the head)! This requires No Supports and No AMS making the process of printing super easy, all you have to do is print and assemble! We designed all of the parts to use no glue, but the Candy Cane will need some glue!

I think Glen @gmrhodes13 summed it up nicely

Thank you very much for your time and very detailed feedback TK85421. When I read about the cover strip being mounted incorrectly, I wondered, how could that have happened? Happy to read, that I am allmost there, that motivates me alot.

That's great Paul! Love it! I had never seen that rig before. This was what I was hoping to see for this thread. More great ideas for trooping. Thank you for sharing the pics!

Looking good, a few tweaks and you are almost there. You may be able to add V tabs to your kidney/posterior to stop it pushing out With a heat gun or oven you bend strips of ABS plastic into the shape of a V, only glue one side and the other remains free to allow movement when you bend. Just helps stop the butt plate from pushing back from the back plate. As you may be able to see in this image your backplate is digging into your back and not in alignment with the chest. Your right leg on the rear has the coverstrip going the wrong way, should be outside over inside, yours is inside over outside. Belt is a little high on the back Check your TD measurements the gap and end caps width looks a little off I would change your snap, you may find it's not quite round, any distortion the smallest movement or angle it can let go. If you want to try first use some pliers and gently close trying to keep the snap round, or even slightly squared, video here

The only two makers of proper Rogue One/New Era style undersuits that I'm aware of are Keep Trooping (left) and Jim Tripon (right). I happen to own both of their undersuits and to have worn a production undersuit. Jim's is great and well made, but the Keep Trooping is as close as we'll likely get to the studio ones and is fantastic. Both feature the hexagonal mesh detail in the armpit and both should qualify for L3.

Thanks for sharing your ideas! I like the mirror for checking dressing issues, gotta look our best for the Emperor I use a lightweight folding camping table attached with velcro to my kit box. it's ideal for all those parts you can't reach once you have the torso armour on.
