Well you already found the Kropserkel video and that's the closest thing in construction to the Studio Creations. Unfortunately we don't have a build thread for the SC helmet. I would advise you stick with the KS video, and also pick up some screen accurate bolts for it here: http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/index.php?/topic/10270-fs-accurate-tb-helmet-hardware-kit-headband-kit/

I would say we would prefer no clip as we have no reference for one.

We can't see it on the toy so I'd say seam or no seam, either are fine.

So I guess this needs to be made to fit a wide variety of leg sizes. It seems that most of the FO costumes have the spats? Do they use velcro to close them? I assume those clips are just greeblies.

That's what I was thinking. They look very similar

It doesn't seem like these go all the way around like the Shoretrooper faulds do, so I think making two separate pieces that hang from the already existing belt is fine. Also, to the extent it helps, my Shoretrooper fauld is 10 inches high

The spat.

I'm convinced. @MrPoopie ready to mock up one of these too?

Hold up let's try to nail down a standard for this first.

Yeah I'm leaning that way. I thought it might be shin armor but as you don't see it anywhere except there, it may as well be a spat.

Now that's what I'm talking about

I think I'm going to repaint my Captain. Well at least the beige parts. Starting with my shin guards

Amazing work my man! When you going for CHiPs??

Yes sir. Looking at the toy I would say it ends at least 2 inches above the ankle

@MrPoopie? Youve checked out that one I believe.

Yeah not all portions of the CRL have been squared away yet. We started with known parts of other costumes and worked from there. I'll revise.

I've already made some of these changes to the Draft CRL in the dedicated thread for that. We're still working some of this stuff out. Where there are differences we'll probably go with a consensus choice that goes to the designer's likely intent. Like we have with the Biker Scout.

The rule with Star Wars costumes seems to be to wear the belt on your waist, not your hips. The ab piece should sit fairly far up. Take a look at this production still:

We don't do Level 3 here. And I doubt we'll even go Level 2 with this one. I'll leave the material open to a variety of things. I just think we can all agree they shouldn't be hard armor

They remind me of these from Fallout 4:

Just for an example here is the Black Series Scout. Check out the ribs on the bund:

True, but we don't know if the width of the grooves is a side effect of having to replicate the design in plastic. I'd like to see canvas faulds mocked up if we can do it.

To me it makes more sense if it's fabric. This guy is a climber, he needs to be as mobile as possible. It's very easy to sew those outlines in if there's enough batting. We do the same thing with the Scout cummerbunds.

Well done, James! See announcements
