I have got the jetpack to a comfortable place. I will have to dig through my Greeblie bucket and see what I come across. The devil is in the details and I want a lot of small details on this.










I made this blaster rifle many years ago and it feels like it matches the whole animated feel for SWTOR.

Looks great!  I can see the same level of detail that Bernie has in his LC kit.  Looking forward to your continued progress.

Is a form filled under suit required for this style, or can I use a coverall?

Coveralls, as ina flightsuit with sleeves?  That would be fine, I have a flightsuit for my LC kit.

I have made a bit of progress in the past couple weeks.

Here are the base biceps and cod piece. I will still be adding details and Greeblies.








My knee armor was a test of skills but I have come up with a technique to help get the complex angles and sharp lines easier. More definition and greeblies are to come.

Here is an update on the progress. I have the majority of the armor roughly fabricated, and have entered the detail phase. So many details...












The gauntlets are progressing beautifully.






Belt boxes and hard belt are almost there.







Thighs and knees are spot on.










Jet pack!! ooo lala

I finally got the chance to do some shaping to the chest armor and found a suitable solution for the back plate. I will be modifying the back plate a bit to fit what I need.

Chest plate looks great!

Looks like DHPFX abs back plate. I have this one myself as well on my modern kit when I wear my jetpack.  You'll need to modify it to look like referenced back plates in the crusader era, as it stands it only will work in the Modern Era as a Jango/Boba style.  Should work well for attaching your back apparatus to and a great base to trim into a crusader back plate.

I have not found any clear reference pictures of a Mercenary Elite back plate from the game. All the pictures I see have a jetpack attached.

Throw those references on here, so when the App Team reviews your WIP they can see the reference images of jetpack attached to back plate.  As well as what the back plate looks like.

In regard to the back plate design this is what I am able to find online.

I finally came up with a color scheme I enjoy, and it is keeping with the overall game feel.






I found a NATO gas mask hose that fits perfectly with the reference images. With a little adaption it looks great. I used a commercial paper towel fitting for a perfectly fitting adapter.





Here is the solution I came up with for the harness, surplus military ejection harness for the win.

Nice those copper colors look great with the overall kit and does keep the SWTOR game vibe.
