    Hi Millssy,

    I am also a member of the Clone Trooper Detachment. I have both phase I & phase II Rex animated costumes.

    There is also Rex - Cold Weather costume, which is mainly a soft costume with a few armour pieces.

    This may be a better option for you, as when you may need to rest you will be able to sit down. Whereas, in clone armour it’s a bit of a mission.

    Happy to give any assistance I’m able to.

    Cheers from New Zealand.
    The name’s Rex, but call me Phil

    Hi Aiden,

    Which Garrison are you involved with?

    I’ve been building clone troopers since 2008 & recommend contacting your local garrisons Clone Trooper Detachment members. As the FOTK kit is assembled similar to the internal cover strips & butt joins we use on the AOTC & ROTS realistic version clone troopers.

    I’m sure my clone brothers would be more than happy to assist you with your build

    Im based in New Zealand if you need any remote support

    Cheers,
    Phil

    Hi guys,

     

    I was one of the 75 legion members that signed up for the alpha set of FOTK run for Celebration Anaheim 2015.

     

    Unfortunately I didn’t receive the kit in time for Celebration Anaheim, and there was a delay in receiving the kit.

    In the interim, another member who did receive the kit, opted to sell his partially assembled kit. I was lucky enough to be in a position to buy that kit.

     

    I finally got around to assembling & completing the kit in December 2019 & submitted approval photos.

    I was knocked back on a couple of minor issues, and it took another 12 months until I wore the costume again with the alterations completed. In my haste to change into another costume, I forgot to get new approval photos taken.

     

    At Wellington Armageddon Expo 2021, I wore the costume & remembered to get the required approval photos, and submitted them to my GML.

     

    After 6 years, I can say this alpha kit is completed

    Ps, I did receive the original kit I ordered.

    It’s still sitting in the multiple boxes it arrived in

  16. New suit how bad is is

    I’d raise your butt plate & kidney plate, as the belt looks to be half way up your kidney plate.
    Lower your back plate to close the gap between it & your kidney plate.

    Right thigh looks like it needs to be raised to match your left thigh. This will increase the gap between thigh & shin at the knee.

    It's a bit hard to tell without other pieces of the armor on, thighs do come up quite a way, here is a comparison
     
    ------------
     
    You may very well have to go wider on the thighs to allow them to come upwards, trimming 7cm off you have lost a lot of material. I would suggest trying with the ab/cod section on and see how much gap you have between that and the thighs.
     
     
     
     


    Is that a Rogue One TK? As the boots are FOTK boots...
