Been a long time since I last posted among the KT been doing nothing but sitting around much like allot of my other 501st stuff that I hoping now to get back around and rebuilding or starting over with things that got dumped mid way due allot of stuff happening all at once and never picked back up till now. Hopefully this post will be something to get those old armor skeletons out of the closet. Unfortunately been way out of the loop with allot of stuff and going through the post seeing allot has changed as well to bring the KT back up to snuff. The hardest part is trying to find some parts as the armor is fine, but unfortunately some of the soft goods is not fairing as well due to they were the last runs in molds before being sold off that and its been in storage for a let say about the time of my last post here in 2013ish. I was wondering if anyone does just the flexible parts, ie the belt, straps and etc. Among trying to get led on a cummberbunds due to worn mine once and now it does not fit anymore due to my chest being wider then when it was made. Any help is appreciated

Going to be there, may or may not have the armor due to it was a last mintue decision to bring and I working on trying to finish it at the moment.

Thanks for the insight, as I will look into that opinion

Hello, all I was wondering something while I was in the store looking at paint for my armor. I am in the process of painting the base color and was wondering something as to me the two colors does not look the same. I have searced through the forum and found that some places the base color is refereced as Krylone Kakai (From their camo line) while other places its referenced as Benjamin Moore's HC - 96 Richmond Gray (Don't know if they have changed since Mr Bungle posted CRL discussion post) But they look drasically different to me and was wondering which one is correct, or is this is going to be something that's going to be more interpeted like the color of Commander Bly's armor as some people say the "yellow" is catapeller yellow while some people say its musturd yellow, to me that looks different being that musturd yellow is almost like yellow yellow while catapeller yellow looks closer to the orange spectrum. Here is the forum pages I was looking at Mr Bungle's CRL discussion topic http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=5025&hl=%2Bkashyyyk+%2Bbase+%2Bpaint&fromsearch=1 And Heat Shocks' http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=9409&hl=%2Bkashyyyk+%2Bbase+%2Bpaint&fromsearch=1 As here is the pages for the colors, i know that looking at them on screen may not work from some as some people's screen are not caliberated but I was looking at them at the local hardware store when I was looking at them as this can give you reference is you want to do the same. Benjamin Moore's website with color referenced by Mr Bungle http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/for-your-home/color-gallery#&ce_s=HC-96&ce_vm=1 Page with color referenced by Heat Shock http://www.krylon.com/products/camouflage_paint_with_fusion_technology/

Thank you all for the comments Sorry for the lack of updates. Been super busy with life and the problems it brings up. Hopefully will get the armor done soon among getting the project, minus boots and gloves at the moment, done so th the largest part of project is finished.
-
They are the correct type of pants, but wrong climate pattern. The ones I used were the "Desert" version as the ones in your link is are "jungle". The desert ones don't have green
-
Well after looking around at local stores here, I found that I could not find any gloves that matched what I needed. Most of the places I looked at only carried super / street bike gloves. But I think I found a good base for them as I would like to get everyone's opinions
-
Thanks Jimah, as I saw it just a while ago going through their. Waiting to hear back from him at the moment.
-
Thanks, as I hope very soon to have 98% of the soft parts done, minus boots, as I just got a tracking number for my cumberbun and will go out and look for some gloves this weekend.

I am not going to speak for crow62, but reading through the post he has here it sounded like they are not in production or had problems with mounting the soul to the boot. But if he did go into production with them, I would most definitively go that route due to one they are already white and have the canon soul on them like the CG model. The only reason I brought up magnum boots is I have a place close to where I live that I can usually find the boots for about half or more off MSRP, for I picked up some up just recently that usually retails for abt 125, got them for 50 bucks among in my size as that also a problem I been running into finding boots in my size as for some reason I have an abnormally large foot according to the booth manufactures for I wear I 11 1/2 wide, as I usually just go with a 12, but for some reason they are in very short supply.
-
Thanks, as I was also thinking of the same thing for at least now till I can find some better ones or till something better comes along.

Update time, finished my pants front pockets and now all left to do with them is add the measure out the riding patch and get it sewn together as here a pic of my pants

After doing some more research and looking an my opinions on what I can find, since I have begun to run into the problem of not being able to find my size. Decided to go another route after looking at some of the older threads and thought I may look at some boots like the ones heatshock found, the PT05s, as here what I came up with as I wanted to get everyone opinion on these as I can find these usually really cheap at place I usually hit up for other costuming needs. http://www.magnumboo...response-ii-60/ http://www.magnumboo...ponse-ii-80-sz/ http://www.magnumboo...ponse-ii-80-st/ http://www.magnumboo...228/shield-wpi/ http://www.magnumboo...ide-zipper-wpi/ http://www.magnumboo.../viper-ii-8-wp/ http://www.magnumboo...sidewinder-hpi/

thank you for the insights, as I got my shin plates done and now they are in for filliing in the gaps, here a update pic

Drew up a template for my cumberbun pouches, using Mr Bungles blanks he let me borrow. These measurements were taken right off the blanks as he also asked me to post these here as well for everyone. Again these measurments were taken off blanks and some minor modding my be required to make them look right on your body type. All these can be printed on 8.5 X 11 paper see my build thread for the actual templates. see Post 9 - http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=9122&pid=74714&st=0&&do=findComment&comment=74714

thanks for the insight,

thought I would post an update as I got my tank and my backplate married now, as I am working on a the shins down and hating it. Speaking of shines does anyone have any suggestions / better way to get the middle of the shin plate to glue, as I been using the boat load of clamps method? On a another note, drew up a template for my cumberbun pouches, using Mr Bungles blanks he let me borrow.

thanks all for the comments, I was hoping tonight to have some update pics of my back plate and my tank as I finally got to dry fit it and its clamptasic. But, will probably upload them tomorrow when I get to glue it to the back plate and its sits their drying to take a pic. Yeah I must be insane to work on the back plate and tank first before doing anything else, both my back plate and my tank has offically been named after an *@)# of a ex-girlfiend for that what they where, a beeich of a pain to get them close enough to be glued and clamped, as I may also fiberglass around the inside of the tank and back plate making them more secure for I have a feeling glue alone and bondo will not hold them together. Like my Republic Commando backpack that also was a beeach to put together due to it was the older armor not the new super easy to put together RC armor. I will be sure to keep you all posted on any updates, thanks again for commenting.

thanks all, as here some more progess as I got around cutting out the intake vents on the side of the helmet. Got to smooth them out some among working on the overall helmet as their few "rough" spots that need to be fixed on it. But nothing bondo and time won't fix. Next going to change gears and work on the tank and backplate. Overall pic with a vent cut out Here a pic of the first test fit of it one w/o padding as I wanted to see if I could get my head in the helmet with the opening I have in it.

thank you for the insight and the advice Heatshock

Finally got my hard armor, minus a few pieces as I here what I got done so far on the helmet Side view, working on getting the ridge detail a little bit more depth and getting ride of rough mold area, smoothing out the helmet, and getting rid of the molding seam Front with visor already cut out, have to do some work

Hello, all After reading through the forum I was wondering what boot options their is out their as its seems allot of people have their own opinions on the matter as I searched for a few of them to find that they either have been discontinued or have been revamped since the thread post was done among having a hard time trying to find a size that will fit me in the US as I know a 12" will fit me in most tac boots from 5.11. Also does anyone have a picture of what the real boots, the Kennth Coles that everyone been hunting for looks like before adding armor pieces on, just out of curiosity on the manner? Thanks for any advice on this matter
