was thinkin' while on my workday about those small MedPacks & Repair Kits ... (as 1 does I suppose) they could be tucked hidden & accessible in a few places ... just inside thighs tops, shins tops, insides of biceps bottoms ... Heck meybe cod (I Know - that sound weird). I'm gonna borrow an Idea that TK 42128 did with his ... Pockets on the body undersuit legs ! See for yourself (Time stamp at 16 m 55 s) if you have or find 60 mins ? It's Great Stuff !

@evnltr Indeed they do stay/keep closed. by small pieces of Velcro I cut (thinking off the top of my head) 1/4 inch Wide & 1/2 inch or less long. imo, I think I overkilled it a bit 😂. They can be tricky to open. A further idea about the belt boxes ... putting small cut squares of velcro (Loop) on the flat spaces in between the boxes on the Back of the ABS belt (in between the open boxes spaces, & A flat piece of ABS cut to match the ABS belt with matching Hook velcro to the Loop. This is to keep each of the boxes contents from finding it's way out. @gmrhodes13 Yes sir ! A fellow trooper in my former garrison, who was a smoker, used to carry his Marlboro's & A BIC lighter in his TD. tho in these days we were wearing the old FX kits. Short Story time: I'm a smoker too, so, when we'd go out of sight of the public & outdoors, we'd pull each others TD's to get to our smokes 😂 then get each others back in place & get back to keeping order.

Thread has been updated!

One thing to consider is that if the armour is approved from 10 years ago, Things may have changed in the CRL and what may have been okay back then may not be okay now. We recently had someone with an SDS kit that he bought years ago apply and even though he was told back then it would be okay, it is not approvable at this current time.

Glen, I once tried rigging my TD back in early 2000's in first troops to put things in, but I did not have a nice set up like yours. I was always shaking my rump to make sure what I had in there was in there with the rattle. Yours is way better than what I did. I got too paranoid about not having eyes on that TD and dropped it as a storage option myself, but to Anthony's point if I did smoke, that's a great idea for placement! Anthony, yes, the micro kits can be stored in all kinds of places. I liked them in the wrist for quick access. But I think I'm going to transition those to a newer idea this year. I'll show you what I'm doing next on the inside of my ammo belt shortly. The micro kits remain micro and spread out a little, but I think it looks neat. Thank you for the video share! Totally going to check that out.

File Name: Coca Cola Lightbox - (Aureb2sh) Designer: cyberLEDs Last Update: 07/01/2026 File: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2206770-cocacola-lightbox-star-wars-aurebash-rgb?from=search#profileId-2398404 Description: This is a recreation of the Coca Cola logo in the alphabet from the Star Wars universe (aurebash). The model also includes an octagonal internal frame for mounting addressable LEDs in a circular layout, along with dedicated space for a microcontroller (ESP32/Pro Micro), with a cutout in the ring to route wires. I am using a Pro Micro and it is a tight fit with a 90 degree USB-C cable. I have also included a tabletop stand and wall mount using Mr. Pen- Double Headed Picture Hanging Nails. You can expand the mounting holes if need. This is the first sign design of a sign wall I am working on!

reworked shoulders and torso...

Before I started trooping I made my detonator a carry container, I had thought of carrying keys and credit card, shortly after I heard stories of TK's having their detonators pinched, probably pesky Jawa's.

Fantastic Info ! Making Use of internal armour space ! Haven't seen many make use of these spaces. I did make cloth cotton tape hinges on my drop boxes & use 2 small pieces of Velcro (1 hook & 1 loop) to secure them closed. Also available spaces are the belt boxes ! I know, to get to them a trooper would need to take the belt off. Thought this can be done away from public eyes.

Changing Tent Using a changing tent for changes in the parking lot or even indoors. I got a couple of weights to go with it. They slide in the little pouches at the bottom of most of these types of changing tents. I used an imperial cog stencil used on black tent. The tents will have little loops on the outside and inside of the tent to let you roll up the front door. I use the loops as a location to put a light. I cut a 1-inch-wide PVC pipe and got caps for it that I can take on and off. This pipe can slide through the loops. Then using velcro, I velcored a push-button battery-operated puck light to it. Because of the weight of the PVC, it doesn't spin with the puck light on it. You can literally tilt the light up, straight or aimed down. The photo below shows the light bar on the outside, but there's loops inside so you can light up the inside of the tent if needed. I like this to have a place to put a light and be able to easily take it on/off. I like this for the underwear changing portion of outside changing. It wraps up nice and I can throw it right back into the truck once the changing portion is done.

I have a Walt FOTK. I’m working on and I’m on the dadbod bigger side. I’m still building. I’m like 99% positive I should be able to make it work without to much extra plastic or none at all. The biggest thing is splitting the torso in the middle the. Heating and shaping it to fit around the belly area properly (I should be able to report back in a few weeks) since I’m finishing up from the waist down right now. Shin armor is plenty big, thigh was a bit tight made a little bit of an adjustment there. But again for the torso the back will be covered by the TD and that’s like an extra 8 inches. So once I get it trimmed and glued I’ll see if I need to add any extra (hoping I won’t need to). The issue with the Walt kit is the yoke is 2 parts so like the Denovo kit you’ll need to make it a seamless piece.

New molds are up and running and the parts are coming out good so far: Rubber FOTK Gaskets Curing Also worth mentioning, I do fiberglass FOTK armor (no helmet) if anybody needs one of those sets: Kit Parts Laid Out I have yet to actually finish one in white since it was really just a side project on my way to building Phasma, but here's a taped together test fitting: Freddy Test Fit Side And you can see more photos in this album: https://flic.kr/s/aHskdaqdDD
