Hello everyone! This is going to be my WIP thread for my legacy era desert kit. If it is not in the appropriate thread please excuse me. I will be posting the armor planning, construction, fitting and more. For now, here is the finished concept/design.

I am in the process of waiting for various parts to arrive, including my FS, my hemet, and some other soft parts. I wanted to make a JT 12 jetpack for my previous kit, but for some reasons I could never get to building it. I started the process today and this is what I have so far. Any building suggestions are welcome. Thanks! OYA!!

Made more progress today. Unfortunately I have not been able to form my plates, but I will try to do my best to post them as soon as I'm able. I'm in the process of painting my Jetpack and I made a Stormtrooper style Thermal Detonator with some spare parts! Here's what I have so far.









As always, if you have any suggestions please feel free to help a brother out 👌👌👌

Hello again! I have made some progress since I last posted. I realized that my chest and back armor were too small and I decided to redesign them. Haven't been able to form them yet but hopefully I'll do that in the next couple of days. Took a pic of the templates and how they look with my vest (may look wonky because I was alone and it is very difficult to align them by myself). Also, I finished my jetpack! As I stated before, the colors are an homage to my previous kit (Also also 😂, it's sitting a bit lower than it's supposed to because I was alone. With help it will sit properly) Here's my progress!

























I'd love to hear what you guys think. This is the way.

Made the shoulders out of 4 inch PVC Elbows. Working on a few things this week, including making my helmet from a Rubies Jango 2 piece helmet, remaking my shnees, and tailoring my flightsuit. Had to change the boots as well.

Started working on my helmet. Sanded, bonded, and fiberglassed. Just a little more sanding and making the custom ear caps before paint. Updated the shnees by cutting the excess on the top to make it flat and squared. Also updated the gauntlets by making a more traditional vambrace shape with "trauma rails" as I like to call them on top. Belt has the pouches installed, they will be weathered to match the rest of the armor. Here's how the updates look so far.

Yesterday's progress. Did a quick test fotting of my soft parts and belt. Also, redesigned my shnees. These are lighter and more comfortable. Plus, they look better!

Shins are installed and ready to paint. They are surprisingly comfortable! Also, thought about carrying two imperial cylinders in my left sleeve pocket. Do these work as trophies?











Almost done, just need to form the chest and back plates and then paint. This is the way.

Hello everyone. Posting some close up pics of my soft parts so you can appreciate the weathering a little better. Also, added some trauma plates to my shnees as required by the new CRLs. Just a few more adjustments and mods to go before submitting.



















As always, any recommendations are greatly appreciated. This is the way  :jango:

Excellent work! A little clean for my tastes, but that's personal opinion only. The whole thing looks very well done. The only suggestion I have is adding thigh plates, but that's another personal opinion :P. To my eyes, shins without thighs makes a kit look a little unbalanced, especially without thigh pouches or something of the like. I also tend to prefer legacy with medium-heavy configuration, as the extra coverage of the torso plates gives a more 'fully armored' feel than Fett-style plates. I can't really see anything that would prevent approval, though, so you're in excellent shape on that front.

Hello again! It's been a while since I updated my WIP. I'm working on a new piece of shoulder armor. Gonna add an elastic strap around my arm to keep the piece in place while allowing flexibility. Still need to paint it. Hopefullg after this I'll be submitting for approval. As always, any constructive criticism is appreciated.

Last WIP update (I think). My Desert kit is hopefully ready to be submitted. Will be taking the pics later today, if not, this week. Jetpack is sitting lower than I expected and it still needs to be weathered. Will be submitting without it. Any constructive criticism is appreciated. Thanks in advance! This is the way.

Decided to redesign my shin armor. Went with a shin knee and shnee combo. The left leg is a shnee and is designed to accommodate my knee brace due to a knee injury. The right leg will be armored with a shin guard and a knee plate. Here's what I have so far. Still need to do some mods to them but they are very comfortable. Any constructive criticism is appreciated.
