would these be ok to wear with my belt and stuff and if i can wear something like these would i not have to do knees, the reason i ask is because shotgun chaps would look really cool with my concept, but if i throw knees and leg armor on it may look wonky so can you let me know what you think vod?? thanks

[Zebra38]

oh and ignore the frilly shiny stuff, the chaps i would wear would look very similar to the guy from True Grits that had fur on them
here is a photo

No. you must have at least 2 pieces of armour below the waist. and knees are a must.

so basically this is just a bad idea???

[Remo Jadd]

I would say so yes. You must have armour and knees are required. I'm afraid chaps of any kind won't pass muster. Sorry  .

[Zebra38]

its all good ill just keep thinking!!! thanks for your help vod!!!

Chaps probably wouldn't be accepted, but you may not need to scrap your entire concept.  You may be able to make a kama and loincloth combo work with the concept.  Try tweaking your concept first before you start over.

Knees are required now? I must have missed that. I was under the impression it was just two pieces of armor below the belt...hmm...guess I guess better find some knee pads now...

Yup, has been for a year or longer. A minimum of two coverings below the waist are required. 1 must be a cod or a loincloth and 1 must be knee's.

[Cando Pax]

So, even thought I have thighs and shins, it's still not enough...

[Hondo Karr]

Correct.

[Dar'manda]

unless your knees are part of your shins right?

[Hondo Karr]

As long as there is knee coverage however it's pulled off.

not trying to high jack.
These are my shins. The upper covers the knee. They are okay right?

ah feel free to high jack im not worried its awesome that your questions are being answered feel free, and i am positive those are fine app team can verify but i am pretty positive those are fine

[Cando Pax]

Vicious, the only thing I would say about those...is they look very Iron Man-ish to me. They may consider them cross over material.

[Dar'manda]

our questions kind of run hand and hand. Thats why i asked. I feel it might also give you and others ideals so there is no real harm in asking.
I have built, took apart sold and rebuilt my armor three times now. I have a dead line of New Years for getting my photos in. I feel good about it but this fine detail stuff is killing me. i feel like everytime i get close something sets me back. So if i need knees i am going to go postal. My shins dont allow for knees. It looks silly and rub something bad.

8063 is official and he had the same shins. So i am not overly worried about that. I think they are Jedi or something. If they are rejected i am going to finish my orders, And have a bon-fire with my full kit. Phoenix and all.  

[Cando Pax]

The leader of my clan, had to redo his app pics...four or fives times. But, he finally got accepted and it was well worth it. So, don't lose spirit, just keep at it.

[Dar'manda]

No. If i dont pass and have to do a major redo of my kit, I am not even going to worry about it. At that point it was not meant to be. I am not overly worried. If i get rejected it will be because of little stuff that i did not see. And i am going to post full photos in kit before i apply just to make sure everything is a go.
So far i have built everything to CRL guide lines. Armor is spaced correct. Held inplace with snaps. Gaunts, while not ROTJ style meet the guide lines. Weapon is posted and am waiting for feed back on it. Waiting on my tint guy to finish my sheet for the Visor.  If i fail for anything it will be because of the Helmet. I think i will be the first to apply with a Phoenix helmet. So i dont know if it is cannon or if it meets CRL guide lines.
But with luck, I will pass the first time out.

I had to re-submit my app pics after my first try.  It stung a little because I had a list of things I thought were wrong with my armor but they pointed out things I HADN'T noticed and didn't consider much of an issue.  But they were an issue, so I had to adjust it then I got in on my next try.  I wouldn't take any offense to it and certainly wouldn't argue with them or destroy my kit in defiance.  They have your best interest in mind and want your kit to look as good as it needs to in order to work with the club.
If they say your shins and knees won't work, just get a little piece of sintra and make some with the templates.  No big deal and it'll cost you less than $20 and a few hours at most.
And I don't see why that armor wouldn't work anyway.

As for the chaps, do you already have a set?  Have you tried to put some armor on there to see how it looks?
I used leg wraps on my kit.  I got a few pieces of craft fur from Hobby Lobby and weathered them up a little, added some black spots like Chewbacca's fur then attached it to my legs under my knee armor.  I added some rope from my girth belt to break it up a little and make it look like a sort of frontiersman hunter/trapper or Viking type of thing.
If the chaps don't work, you might consider something like that.
Hobby Lobby sells some nice looking white-ish faux fur.  It's white with a mix of yellow, tan and some black strands.  It's pretty realistic looking.  I think it's $4 per square foot but it's easy to work with and they usually have a load of it.  I guess it depends on what kind of animal fur you're looking for.

[Dar'manda]

i was joking. I would not burn my kit. I just have a dead line that a major redo will  blow out of the water. If i dont get it in by new years, i lose the support of my wife on the build. So a few tweeks will be okay (and expected)  but a major rework is out of the question. So say the queen.

I believe they are TOR Jedi armor. So, perfectly in-universe and acceptable.

they are. But they do look kind of ironmanish. I think i will use them as forms when i build the war machine net year.

[Remo Jadd]

Those shins do look like Ironman, they won't do. Having said that with a bit of modification, they are a good base. If you removed the pieces that stuck out on the sides and filled the hole in the centre, then i don't see why you can't get away with them.
