It's not a bug, its an addiction :P Looks like a solid plan you've got.

Now i have upgraded my Helmet and repainted my plates i'm looking towards the brigades.



i have decided on Shock Infantry and will be overhauling my kit towards the Heavy Assault CRLs   

First up is Legacy Style Chest plates made from 1.2mm Steel, i have decided on a wrap around design using angles to form the plates rather than smooth curves.

Templates below were made using my original plate templates as a guide.

First in Cardstock and then in foamboard, i chose foam board because i needed something rigid enough to work out the bend angles required.

I took the same cuts out of the main corners, but the collar part rolled well enough without the cuts taken out of it.

Progress at last  ;D

i have my next convention in 18 days so naturally its the best time to completely overhaul and change all my armour plates and swap out Sintra for Steel  :'(

previously i have been posting Pictures via Facebook unaware that FB changes Photo urls periodically :/  it's going to take awhile to work out which photo is relevant on each previous post. 

I have switched gears somewhat from my initial MK2 legacy inspired design. I think i was on the verge of being too custom and along with the Executioner bucket i wasn't seeing much left of Fett when i looked at it.

So i went back to my old Cardboard plate temples as a start created a new set of plates making a few changes based on lessons learnt from my first kit.




*Update*
