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.

Freshly painted. More weathering to be added. Will focus on finishing up a few props, including a vibro axe, a vibro sword, and a carbine while I print out new shoulder bells. As always, any constructive criticism is appreciated. This is the way.

New leg armor painted and weathered to match the rest of the suit. Waiting on some materials and for my new shoulders to be printed. Mi kit is taking shape slowly but surely. This is the Way.

Hello! Update. The shin area ans the knee area have to be distinct per CRLs. Trauma plating may be used. I modded my original shnees to have a more distinct knee armor to comply with the CRLs. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I would suggest making the knee portion stick out higher from the shin area.

I'm not a judge, so wait for them to chime in.

I finally completed my kit!!!

After many weeks of work and research, I completed the upgrades I wanted for my Legacy kit. I changed the FS from a 1 piece to a 2 piece for comfort and ease of wear, exchanged my shoulder bells, and changed my shnees to a shin-knee setup. Here are the details of the new pieces. As soon as I kit up, I'll post my last WIP update. Thank you for your help and interest! This is the way  ;D
