That's pretty similar to how mine is looking. Ive got velcro on some pieces of elastic which allow me to put it on back to front and then it stretches enough to let me push it round. I've then put a small piece of velcro at the bottom to keep it inline. Lastly two pairs of rare earth magnets, one pair glued to the back plate which will connect to the other pair glued inside the ab / kidney. I'll take some pics tonight.

This is something Im trying to figure out too. I was thinking about attaching it with magnets so I could put it on myself when dressing. On that subject, how are you closing the kidney / ab section at the back?

I'd read Glen's post 3 posts up....

Ok, I can see a little clearer, kind of. My question still stands though: why would this crl include such an obscure detail when there is no precedent with other very similar costumes?

If the clips holding the thigh armour up is approved is that likely to be basic or level 2/3? On the “eye bump” personally I’m still not clear what I’m looking at, even with all those images above, maybe it’s just me. However, even if it is, the OT TKs (on whom the bump is clearly visible) don’t have that detail in the crl, even for Centurion so why would we add it for this costume when it’s even harder to see?

That's exactly what i needed, thanks Tony.

What colour blue are people using for the 2 buttons on the ab?

Did you get through to Jim regarding purchasing a kit?

Sadly I haven’t found one. But, nor have I found anything that suggests that it is 2 piece either, I’m guessing this (like a lot of other details) was just copied over from the ANH stunt crl? Given that the shoretroopers, Tank Troopers and (I think) FO TKs were all made by the same teams and all have the ab / kidney plate as one piece it seems to me far more likely that they’d have done the same for this costume.

Just re-reading the crl it states that the ab and kidney plates are 2 seperate pieces. Im not sure this is correct?

Congratulatuons on your approval and becoming the crl model. https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TD_R1_Jedha_Sandtrooper

You're best off contacting Jimmiroquai directly for a quote. The final price depends on exactly what you want (armour, helmet, undersuit, all 3?) And of course shipping.

Thanks for posting this, I've seen 3d printed armour but its good seeing the actual printing process. How complicated was your printer to setup?

That's a fantastic idea. I think I even have an old tshirt that would be the right colour.....

How do you put this part on? Can you reach behind to connect the snaps or do you put it on back to front and then rotate it round your body?

I wonder if its possible that you've been sent an Inferno Squad back plate by mistake?

I was thinking that maybe using magnets instead of velcro might stop it flexing?

These are the best that I have. The first I think is from Celebration, the second from the "walking through the water" scene that never was and final two are from the visual guide.

The one Jyn uses extends and the side handle folds flat. We never see a TK with a baton in their hands, they're only seen on their belts. Also is Battlefront 2 relevant to the RO TK as they would be the mark2 ROTJ armour.

Isn't it likely that the baton used by TKs is the same as the one we see Jyn use in Jedah?

I can just about with the forearms. However, they’re held together with a simpler overlap so I can glue one side and Velcro the other, the flex is minimal. sorry to highjack your thread THM, as someone who has completed their build did you have this issue?

If you do go with MTK then you will need the helmet because MTK is an OT (original trilogy) kit not Rogue One, therefore your black series helmet doesn’t match. If you want to do a Rogue One trooper then the only person currently making that kit is Jim Tripon.

Not really, it cracked when I tried and I don’t have particularly large calves. That’s why I’m thinking to keep them in 2 halves and using Velcro front and back.

The thing is that the OT kits are put together differently to the Jimmi RO TK. With the OT construction they're put together using the but and coverstrip, which means that when you flex it to put it on that force is spread across the whole surface. With Jim's kit though the coverstrip is molded onto one side, when you flex it all the force is concentrated in the area I've circled below. This is exactly where mine cracked. I'm not sure that the glue used would make any difference?

Im at this point too. I put clamps on the front to see if there was enough flex to get my leg in. It worked, but as soon as i took them off i found a small crack right where they flexed. I'm currently thinking to just use velcro front and back?
