Clone update
Well, I finally had my first test-fitting of my clone armor and had some pics taken. Aside from the fact that it took about three times as long to put on as my TK, things went relatively smoothly. I had these taken more as a reference to see what I need to adjust, but I thought I might as well put them up here so that you all could see that I really am doing a clone build! LOL
Here's a shot from the front:
And a back shot:
Lower front & back:
I didn't take the time to pretty up the calf spoons or tuck the extra material from the shoes in so that looks a little messy.
There are still some small things I want to work on, such as adjusting the length of the shoulder webbing where it attaches to the shoulder straps, as well as working on keeping the thighs from rotating slightly. I also need to work on finishing out the extra detais; since this will be a 327th Star Corps clone, I need to put on attachment points for my kama & holsters and measure out the length for the bandolier. Then, after some weathering, CT-2055 should finally be ready for his debut!

Re: Clone update
After some more work as well as procrastination, this 327th Star Corps clone is very close to being done! I've weathered the armor as well as a little more work to the bucket; I filled in the old detail slots on the chest and cut out new ones that should be more accurately sized and placed; the calf spoons are good to go; and all of the 327th details have been added.
The weathering may still need some fine-tuning, and I've already decided on something different to hold the holster straps onto the belt. I had installed snaps, but they don't want to remain glued, so I may end up putting a bolt through the strap and into the belt. They are position directly behind the second box on either side, so I shouldn't have to worry much about punching all the way through the belt. I've also seen the straps attached through the kama and onto the armor itself, but that adds more weight pulling down on the armor itself and I'd rather not do that. I'm also redoing the velcro to hold the back part of the paldron down as it kept wanting to seperate from the back plate. Also I believe I messed up the painted-on stripe on the shoes, as it should mimic the same angle as the straps. The kama might be a tad too narrow...I'm still debating that bit. Well, a costume is really never truly finished...
Still, I'm pretty pleased with how it's all coming together. Hopefully it will be ready for submission soon and CT-2055 (after a 1 3/4 year process) will finally be ready to enforce Order 66!
