Installed the knee darts from dark-side today. They are far too long though so I either need to cut them down or make large holes in the knee armor to push them through.
Also got a vintage microphone for the right shin tool pocket (thanks Volker).

jealousy. very awsome.

I've been watching this thread for some time, and I have the deepest respect for the work you've done on this. It's truly amazing. But on the knee launchers I think you just need to mount them "deeper" into the knee, rather than the alu pieces being to long.

Nice upgrades!

Another original part upgrade, albeit a very small one!
That looks awesome. I really need to buy one of this quality. Making it myself is near impossible...

Maybe our beloved Mojo will think about machining these?

New upgrade arrived. FP3 armor.
I love how much more form fitting it is than the old stuff
I have noticed one small problem. Could the side plates on the FP3 knee armor be too narrow? I am confident that the darts from Dark-Side are accurately sized. I had already scaled the darts myself using the original Michell part and a direct side on shot from MoM, and my dimensions were within a fraction of a millimeter of his. Yet the long darts are clearly a few mm too wide for the plate.

I thought Darkside's were Jango parts... could be wrong though.

Well even if they are Jango's, all the dimensions are spot on to what was on the Fett costume at MoM; Diameters and lengths of each section.
Maybe he makes both?
When I say the plates are too narrow I'm only talking around 3/32. But it means I'll need to either cut part of my darts off or get them machined down a little to compensate. I can't cut out large holes in the knee armor for the darts like should be done, as it will tear into the side.
