LTM[TK] Posted May 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2023 Working on the TD. Planning on strapping the posterior plate to the TD via velcro sewn to the nylon straps. Should make it easy to take on and off Will add the snap for the belt. Magnets will help keep the TD centered while trooping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTM[TK] Posted May 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2023 TD was downloaded from Thingverse (link in the 3D file section) and is actually made for the DN kit. As we are allowed the gap, is this acceptable or do I need to sculpt it for a more uniform appearance (will it even be seen on the sides and bottom)? Holes for magnets to help with keeping it centered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTM[TK] Posted May 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2023 Belt is built, just need to add the hanging boxes. Modified the empire front belt boxes to have screws attach all the way to the front cover. Concerned that the fronts could break off during a troop. Just need to counter sink and then epoxy over prior to painting. Bicep is just pushed on and not at the correct height. Looks like it is sitting well on the posterior Green tape is just to make sure I stay in alignment as I build each piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTM[TK] Posted May 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) Used empire 3D front boxes with the curves, removed the inset nuts and drilled all the way through for a secure assembly. I will counter-sink the hardware. Working on the pauldron next, plan is to attach with magnets Pauldron from DN: Edited June 5, 2023 by LTM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 I used magnets as well but found some times when moving the arms the pauldron could detach, I ended up adding a velcro strap to which went down around the neck area, see how you go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
