In the film, the pouches were sewn to the bund via the attachment tab. So the rest of the pouch would swing out. For level 2, we ask people to replicate this look. So in other words, if you choose to attach the pouches to your armor, it still must APPEAR like the pouches are attached to the bund by the attachment tabs. Yes you don't sew the entire pouch to the bund. That would be wrong.

They aren't lost, they were just taken off the main site when we upgraded to the latest version of IP Board. @Drewid has them backed up and when he has time he's going to dig them out so we can post them on their own page here! In the mean time, Corey's template is great. Don't forget the double stitching, that is a CRL requirement now!

Helmet looks great! I am going to start digging into mine soon. Thanks for doing this 💪

It's optional and only for Level 2 so you are fine if you leave yours white.

Awesome! Please make sure you make a WIP thread!

Hi Dawn! I had just implemented Chris' corrections just a few days ago and I believe his next move was to pass it on to the rest of the team for final review?

Yeah that should be fine. Just pull it up a bit. Remember you want to wear your belt on your waist, not your hips. And the bund should stop at the belt and maybe tuck into it just a little

Bund looks a little tall for my tastes. I can see it's coming down to your hips when it should be coming down to your waist. But the belt will mostly cover it so that should be fine. I wear mine higher up too. Right below my armpits. We recommend a height of between 8-10 inches for the cummerbund. 8 inches makes it tall enough so that the pouch and its attachment tab fit the entire thing evenly.

I want to do a full build at some point, but I am up to my eyeballs in Shoretrooper armor right now! Somebody was selling this on one of the Facebook PT build groups for a dream so I snatched it up.

I have my hands full with so many different things that I highly doubt it!

Trim, trim, trim!

Denis did a really great job with this kit. There is not much to do with it. Masking off areas to be painted different colors will probably be the hardest part. But yeah, I've got so much trimming to do with my Shore kit it might be a bit before I can get to this!

Brown box day!

The stitching is getting added to the CRL very soon, just FYI

I made the change. Thanks everyone! The more eyes we get on this, the better CRL we are going to have.

That's what I'm going to do. Good catch, James. Part of my doing Level 1 from the ground up was to read the old instructions and try to figure out why they were there and see if they could be simplified. The reason the "flat" instruction was in basic was because so many of the old helmets back in the day had rounded bolts. That's not really an issue anymore so the language doesn't serve the purpose it once did.

Brown box day!

It is not only acceptable to do things the way they were done in the film, it is preferred!

EDIT: Implemented @Reideemer's suggestions

Added!

In the film, the suede patches were 4 separate pieces. The pictures I posted here show how it was done:

Definitely! The more suppliers of armor, the better!

I'm hoping this language will handle that: "[Cummerbund] Extends from just under the chest armor down to the belt." PLUS "Belt is worn on the waist and not on the hips"

Maybe! A little hard to tell until we get the Hot Toy in hand. But just to reiterate, we are allowing boots with buckles like this for Level 1. Level 2 is a ways off at this point and hopefully by the time we start drafting it, we will have more pictures and the Hot Toys in hand as we do. The bonus material for Solo didn't reveal anything new unfortunately.

I tried to keep the ones that were already there. And yes I share that concern
