All armor must be made of a solid material such as fiberglass, styrene, urethane rubber, sintra or Vac-formed ABS. Armor must have dimension and give the appearance of thickness and depth according to the visual references of this character. All armor and soft parts must be weathered where indicated in visual references to give the illusion of battle wear and damage.
Helmet
- Helmet must be the Open Seasons styled Death Watch helmet with a more narrow, block shaped “T” visor that obscures the wearer’s face.
- The overall design of the helmet features high backed rear panels that curve forward to the bottom of the mandibles giving the helmet a higher, more narrow profile than their True Mandalorian counterparts.
- A large raised solid band encompasses the back of the helmet continuing as a brow to the front of the helmet all the way down to the end of the mandibles at the base of the helmet. The ends of the mandibles may either be straight or slanted inward towards the helmet visor.
- On either side of the “T” visor are two small indented lines approximately 2-3″ inches long and stop well before getting to the back of the helmet.
- The front brow of the helmet also features two (2) stylized horns that must match Open Seasons references as close a possible.

- The helmet mandibles are painted gold.
BRL Level Approval:

Neck Seal
- Neck seal should match the flightsuit and flak vest in color and provide a clean transition, obscuring the neck from view into the helmet.
- Neck seal may either be attached to the flak vest or flightsuit and close at the back as there is no apparent seam or closure method in the front in visual references.
- A red ring is visible around the top of the neck seal. This can be added via decorative piping.
- Due to the high backed nature of the helmet, a balaclava or another type of head covering must be worn to obscure bare parts of the applicants head.

- Over top of the larger belt is a smaller ammunition belt, lighter in color than the larger belt, with two (2) pouches worn on over each hip.

- The ammunition belt is fastened together with a silver frame style belt buckle.
- Tor Vizsla has medium brown leg straps, made of leather or leather like material that are worn over the thigh plates and connect via unseen methods underneath the larger of his two belts. There is no apparent holster setup on Tor.

- Armor plate designs for the chest plates, ab plate, thigh plates, knee armor, shin armor and back plate must be sourced from the Open Seasons comic books.

- The outside edges of the chest plates must have an inward hemispherical edge. The chest plate fangs must follow along the mating edge and end at the edge of the Ab plate.
- Some design variance is accepted of the thigh plates, but overall they are vaguely egg-shaped in appearance with an exaggerated, longer edge on the outside top corner of the builder.
- Knee armor must feature two dart boxes, trapezoidal in shape, on both the inside and outside of the knee plate while the overall design is more angular and sharp than that of the standard modern style knee plate.
- Shin armor features more angled edges, and sides that slant inward toward the builder the closer to the boot the plate gets.
