I started trimming the forearms and hand plates. I think I will trim all pieces first and start assembling after that.

Instead of putting the two halfs of the td together , I think I'll look for tube.

Hi, this photo is from the CRL, I think you can use it for reference. There's no outer edge, so you can start by cutting it.

 

Cheers

Until you can size them, I would be conservative in my cutting. 

 

Obviously the return edge can go.  If those bells are anything like my DT bells, they probably have a rough transition (some bumps, lack of definition of the ridge) from the return edge to where the surface is nice and smooth.  I would keep some extra to make sure the bells are large enough when it comes time to size them - then you can shave away as much of the outer edge as you need to.

 

So, I would trim less than what you have taped off - probably half of that for now.

You'll find a lot of great references in the "gallery section" https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/gallery/category/28-r1-tk-reference/

The shoulderbells seem to be a little problem. There a nearly no lines to see, where I can cut.
Any tips?

I'd cut along the flared edge until you're ready to size them.

Not much progress today. I struggle with the belt. (Like almost every R1 builder)

Afaik is the top part the front of the belt. But what do I do with the two squares and the four rectangulars?

This will be the ammobelt on the right tigh. Do I have to cut it down to a flat strip with the five rectangulars?

 

At least I have my first two parts ready.

PM me on FISD boards with any questions and I can help ya with any. I built a few 850armorworks as well as several other sets. Working on a set of 850 R1 now for a friend.

Thank you for your offer. I'd like to post it here to share experiences with others who will build this kit, too.

Today I took the opportunity that my son is here to help me. We made a duct tape mannequin. 

He had much fun wrapping his old dad in tape.

The problems started as he had to cut me open. To make it easier for him and more comfy for me, I lay down on my bed. It looks like this

I also worked on the shins and tighs. 

Slowly all comes together.

I'm going slightly mad

 

Not alone the biceps keep their secret which one is left and which is right.

 

The shins also can't decide. Me neither.

Which lower edge goes on the inside and which on the outside of the leg?

This

or this

I was under the impression that when viewed from the front or the side, the overlap should not be visible. So the panel that rests on TOP of the overlap should be the outside panel when assembled.

I´m working on the biceps, but don´t really know, which part is left, right, outside or inside. Can anyone who built an 850 Armor works TK tell me, what is what?

 

Looking at the Rogue One Armor Crl I found this;

 


TK R1 shoulder bells.jpg    Shoulder Armor
One on each shoulder.
The shoulders are considered effectively symmetrical; they may be worn interchangeably on the left and right shoulders and may have a black elastic strap that wraps around the inside of the bicep.

OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable):
OPTIONAL Level three certification (if applicable):
There is no swoop on the shoulder bell raised area.
There is no elastic strap that wraps around the inside of the bicep.


TK R1 bicepts.jpg    Upper Arm Armor
Biceps are fully closed.
Both biceps are symmetrical and interchangable.

 

File:TK R1 bicepts.jpg
The front strip is beveled and approximately 1/8" thick that does not extend beyond the bicep, and has a smaller cover strip layered thereon.

OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable):
OPTIONAL Level three certification (if applicable):
Biceps must be constructed using the butt joint and cover strip method. Overlap construction is not allowed.
Biceps are closed in the back with Velcro.

 

I think this Photo shows every part at its side.

I found this threads that think has some interesting reference photos that you can use to figure out  which part is each one.

 

 

 

Cheers

CRL is a little misleading - the arms should look symmetrical when assembled (ie, no left thumbprint or shoulder bell swoop), but there IS a left and right, at least for Jim's kit. It's all about the overlap and how they open. Same with the shins - I know traditionally that the longer bottom shin edge is worn on the inside for ANH shins, so I assume the case is the same for R1 when in doubt. So the one you posted shouldddd in theory be the left with the sniper knee attached. Unfamiliar with 850's kit, but that's how I'd build it at least.

You could suggest any changes to the DL @Sly11, CRL's don't always contain every correct detail, sometimes new references or details come to light, CRL's are ever evolving ;)

Oh don't worry, I'll have a suggestion or two based on the Anthology kits we saw in The Mandalorian once the rest of the world is able to have seen the show legally in March. I was told no changes would be made without specific canon reference material, but that it was too early to share caps from the show. Plus with that one, I know what they're TRYING to make clear (that R1 is different from ANH and not interchangeable), but there are some carryovers from the other TK CRLs that are either straight up wrong or misleading. Hopefully an overhaul can be done to include Solo and The Mandalorian suits under one "Anthology Stormtrooper" CRL.

References is what it takes, ANH 1977 and the CRL still gets updates ;)
