Exciting times when you waiting for your first BBB. Welcome. Let us know if you have any questions.Hello all my name is Nate. looking to get my first set from TM was hoping someone nearby (Grand rapids , Rockford, Belding , Greenville) may have a TM set of armor I could look at and get a basic look of what I was getting into and anyone with tips and tricks to getting everything fitted and trimmed when Big Brown Box day arrives! Excited to meet others in the garrison and start trooping and making friends .
Cheers , Nate

I make these to order. Each pack takes me about 4 weeks to print and then a couple weeks to finish. If you are interested in one, let me know. This is quickly becoming my favorite back.

I just finished this pack and wanted to share it with everyone. This is a Full-Size Wearable Replica of the Rogue One Jedha Patrol Backpack. All parts are 3D printed and painted. This is very light weight. I posted a build thread on MEPD if you want to see it.
Here are some pictures of the final product. These are now for sale.

Looking forward to seeing the armor, I've heard of them but not seen anything from them as yet.
The wait for the BBB is unbearable
Tell me about it. I cannot wait. It is not the cheapest armor, but it is high quality and painted in high gloss.

I have armor coming from MIMIC in the UK. The armor itself is made from a high quality fibreglass cloth with a perfect gel coat surface. All parts will be painted. I will still need to fit it, add the strapping, belt, boots, under armor, etc.... The new Episode VIII helmet will follow about 1 month behind. I should be receiving the armor in a couple of weeks. So I will probably start acquiring the soft parts. NOTE: After a year of waiting, I still have not received the second half of the armor.
THANK YOU KB PROPS for working with me and others that got taken advantage of by MIMIC and getting us armor at a great price.
So this armor will be a mix of MIMIC's Fiberglass and KB Props ABS.
Below I am going to list what vendor I am purchasing all of the items from:

I have about four of the pages on PDF. When you print it out a couple hundred pages long. It is not everything but it is a lot of what he did.

Thanks for the update.
It's still in progress. If the applicant was building their pack while the CRL was in transition then technically they could be grandfathered in. Ultimately we leave it up to the GMLs but without a solid CRL to refer to telling an applicant no antenna is a hard push.

Hello and Welcome Aboard.

Has the CRL been revised yet? On the 501st page is still looks the same.
I am asking since we have someone in the Carolina Garrison submitting with an antenna and from what I can tell, they are still allowed.

Do you still sell the ROTJ Decals?

I like it a lot, and will have to do that for my pack. I like that it looks very easy to take on/off. Another option is for the top to not be adjustable, so just the bottom needs to be.
Good idea on the top not being adjustable. I think I will make that happen.

Here is what I have come up with for strapping the pack to the backplate. I like this option, since it will allow for easy removal and placement. I would probably still use with magnets just to hold it in place as best as possible.
I cut (4) slots into the base plate. Inserted the white 3/4" nylon webbing. I used the black plastic slip buckles just because it was all that I had. For a real pack, I would do with out them and either glue the fabric together or sew it. The black hooks holding the plate onto the armor are actually from a bike rack system that goes on the back of a car. I ordered these online and they can be painted white so they do not stick out in great detail.
This will work great and keep the pack on, even if someone bumps into it. I will have the base plate redesigned to allow for these 4 slots to already be present. In this picture, I used a sodering iron to create the slots.
This is the first picuture. My next one will be without the black pieces and no extra nylon webbing. Should blend pretty well and not stick out.

As you can see, I did not have it pulled completely tight. The black sliders prevented me from doing that.

After sanding everything smooth, I primed it and then used 6 (yes, 6) coats of Automotive paint and then a clear coat. I chose the Chrysler "Light Almond Pearl" for the canisters, as it really isn't a pure silver or bronze, but sort of a mix. I used regular silver for the main body/hose connector and helmet/hose connection as well as on the back plate, and Nissan "Super White" for the main unit. Don't ask why, (I don't know, LOL) but I added a leftover Hovi-tip screen into the end of the hose/helmet attachment.
BTW, I used large rubber O-rings on the outside of the main cannister. For the other recessed areas (like the 2 bottom attachments) I used silver pinstriping.

Amazing....When I finally get to make myself one, I am going to talk to you about how to paint it.
Great job. I would ask to use those pictures for my marketing, but there is no way I can make it look like that right now. lol.

Since I ordered the "unfinished" kit, I have about 40 + hours into this bad-boy. This includes sanding, filling, dremeling gluing painting, etc.
As you can see I took an"artistic license" with a few of the pieces to say the least, lol. Since the insides (cannister/vertical tube inserts) cannot be seen unless removed, I figured what the heck.
All that's left to do at this point is to do some touch-up painting, attach a hose to the "mouthpiece" and secure the back on.
That looks amazing. How did you do that paint job?
