WIP update for today! I drilled holes in the cod and kidney pieces. The piece is a tight fit, so I might need to hit the gym more often, lol. I painted the studs a more grey color instead of white.

I'm still unsure about the exact colors since the CRL only provides this;
''Codpiece appears to connect to the kidney plate on the sides via 2 square studs, identical in shape/size to the shoulder studs.
The studs may be functional connectors or decorative. If the studs are not the functional connection between cod and kidney, no other attachment method may be visible. '' I still have some spares unpainted luckily

The shin tools are now complete and have been weathered appropriately. For the fourth shin tool, I'll use the MOW version until Minutefett's new 4th shin tool arrives.

The last task of the day was drilling holes in the studs to attach them to the collar and backplate. I definitely didn't enjoy drilling into the armor!

I need to get a longer bolt for the stud where the cape attaches; I barely managed to fit the MOW cape on.
