Coming along nicely, I would align the buckle recess then trim the top accordingly. You want zero return edge at the top and bottom edges anyways.

Hope this helps Yeah I guess the sides on these should be more squared off, but I'm not sure the material is as thick as it looks like it should be on the ref photos? so I left some of the rounded return look, like in the ctrl images. I'm considering how I would make things look and work more like these, but not pull apart as easy as maybe they did...

I'm a little confused, my apologies. Are you referring to the spat image I posted just above? We are still in the process of a rather large overhaul of image repair and gallery rebuilding. The FOTK galleries will be fleshed out with more imagery and details as we get to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revvek[TK] Posted September 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) didn't get a lot of time to work on the Armor this weekend, but production of my replacement clip greebles is progressing nicely. (I have a bunch of smaller ones on supports I should photo waiting to be cleaned when I get home...) here I show 6 large size and 2 original model size. (that seem to work for the KB small ones perfect) and I bent 2 of them in prep for use on the Spats. these from Rob's model really look very close to the one in the Spat photo Sly11 posted above.

Sly11[Admin] Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 On speaking with Dan a while ago now, he did mention they jacked the freight prices up so high he felt it was an absolute rip off and in good conscience just couldn't accept charges like that and expect troopers to pay extortive price gauging. Justin Morris is an option and is in the suppliers list for components, you can contact him through PM on FB. I know he does a combination of metal and resin parts so you can check if he does a full metal holster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revvek[TK] Posted October 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 I was able to buy an unused R2Dan holster (without hardware) from Ryan who ended up needing a different solution for his fiberglass kit.

Revvek[TK] Posted October 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) Next up, the shins. (I’m going to move my way up the legs for now.) gmrhodes13 made a great suggestion for fitting the shins, using the boots. So I dug those out, along with the knee gaskets. I believe the seam on these faces the opposite leg once installed? I started to trim things close to the hint lines on the pulled parts to start. and I noticed this one part has a bit of a bubbled out bulge I'll have to figure out how to fix.
