Connecting the but and kidney plate

[AmmTian[TK]]

Hi guys. <br><br>

My first post here. :-)<br><br>

How can I connect the but and kidney plate, so it will be 1 piece?<br><br>

Thanks <br><br>

The only way to do this would be to cut the returns and then glue a strip of abs across the entire back between the 2 of them, then blend the seam with plastic mold and repaint. Why do you want to try this? The CRL and the original way of making the TK have these as 2 separate pieces.

I personally would not do this, Christian, as it would affect your range of motion.  Is there a specific reason you want to do this?  If there is a problem with alignment you should post up a photo and we can help solve the problem.

The reason why is, that the CRL on the TK Commander says;<br><br>

Kidney & Posterior Armor<br>

For 501st approval:<br><br>

A separate kidney/butt plate is not allowed - the kidney and butt plate shall be combined/fused to a single plate/one piece.<br>

A white flexible U shaped gasket or molded lip shall be present around all edges.<br>

The crotch tab of the butt plate area may or may not have visible snaps.

I was cleared despite having a separate butt/kidney. It's a stupid detail that only exists because it's a low-poly model in the game. There are a few things in the Commander crl that aren't very accurate, such as the gray drop boxes and lip around all edges.
