Roguebaron Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Okay, I have been working to build a head shop props kit, a nightmare at the best of times. The back plate has needed a lot of work, but, I have managed to make most of it work. Unfortunately, it is missing the 5 oblong recesses along both sides. While I have managed to fix most issues, these ones are still missing. They are not listed in the CRL as either needed or optional. I will need to rebuild most of the Upper torso if I plan to move to level 2, but are these recesses needed for level one? my hope is to get basic approval, then upgrade as finances improve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right! That detail somehow didn't make it in there amongst the myriad of details that did. I am going to correct that. I've been meaning to revise the Shoretrooper CRLs and make them a little more readable But that is a signature feature of the back armor and should be there. They shouldn't be that hard to add. You can just cut them out and then back the holes with a piece of ABS to give it depth. You've got time though, it will take me some time to make the revision. Chop chop!

Roguebaron Posted August 3, 2022 Author Share Posted August 3, 2022 Thanks, decided to add them last night. Cut a template to build the recess, then cut it out and built the oblongs with green stuff. Took a few hours, but happy with the results. Eventually plan to print a Paul's kit, but that is a ways off. Decided I was better safe than sorry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe that detail is not there. I checked the Patrol Trooper CRL and it's missing from there too. Sigh.... more work to add to the pile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
