Bo Katan yet another Bo Katan! This time it's an AUSSIE!

Bought the hinges yesterday.
I would have to agree with you as I'll definitely need to pad them out with foam. I'll post some progress pics up when we've done it
 
next piece of the puzzle...

My concern with using a piano hinge on this is the armour is abs plastic. Not solid resin or fiberglass like what most Fett gauntlets are. Also, Ash does have rather small forearms so a slide one would be better suited.

As far as padding goes, I had I similar problem padding the forearms on my tk with padding coming out but I fixed this by using thinner PVC pipe insulator cut lengthways wrapped around and using a platiprime glue which is designed specificly for rubber and foam.
 
my next question is the heel pieces. Is it just that little rectangular bit that i cut out? or does it extend out further than that?

This is TK6683's boots - notice the part I've highlighted in red (duplicate images used for the clarification) is that just part of the shoe or is that the actual heel armour part?

This is BH5993 heel pieces - the first approved Bo Katan for the legion.

Here is a quick video of my assemble Pre-Vizsla season 4-5 gauntlet.
The magnets are "Rare Earth 1/4 x 1/4 cylinders."

The very end of the video was cut off and I was about to say that you can add 2 small strips of velcro on each end near your wrist and elbow to help keep the open end closed once it is on your arm if needed.

PS Remember that Bo-Katan's Top detailed gauntlet parts are on the opposite side as Pre-Vizsla's. And Bo-Katans top covers need to have the 2 small side circles filled in and made smooth.

Thanks so much for the tips Kevin! Every little bit helps and although I'm still buried in my helmet project, the help you're giving Ash is going to help me a bunch later. :)

one day I will stop asking all these questions.

the lights on the gauntlets. no matter how many times i watch her episodes i can't quite place which lights actually 'light up' whether they flash or stay lit etc. and which ones are just there as a pretty tile.

help anyone?
 
Bodysuit made - just got to finish off the neckline and trim the arms/legs, add a stirrup. adding in the darker/lighter greys/blacks with an airbrush on the weekend

Thank you very much Cruzer! Your craftsmanship really shows... It's a masterpiece!

All my armour paintwork is DONE! Now I got to work out the best way to do all the webbing. Suggestions people?
