Thanks guys, I appreciate the support!

I've been doing side by side comparisons with the celebration display and Jimmy's photos.
The first thing that jumped out at me was the fact that the ab details are much larger and the drop boxes are much larger.
I knew that if I was going to make this kit I would have to try to replace parts of the ab and most likely the boxes on the belt.
So I started playing around with vacuum forming
I made a cardboard mok up to get an idea of size, pulling sizes from the hot toys 1 / 6 scale figure

Where did you get the R1 TK kit from?

Kit is from Jimmiroquai. I think he's the only one at the moment that is making R1 TK kits.

I got something cool today! I pretty sure it's the first all white leather pauldron that trooperbay has made.
Also got my First order shoes in. A little comparison to my sandy shoes.
My R1 TK kit should be in tomorrow. Can't wait!

To be honest originally I wasn't going to include this detail however the 3D printed parts are taking longer than expected so I had some more time to work on it. Krookknight told me the parts will be shipping nxt week. He says his printers are down so he's going to Outsource the remaining parts

Glad to hear. I like the leather look much better, looks more professional. I just don' want it to get in the way of my approval, then have to buy another.
My theory behind it (other than the blurry photo) was that we know the under the orange pauldrons is white fabric. It would be easier for the prop guy to just flip it over than make separate white ones. Coupled with the fact that it'sthe first and only pauldron to have a solid color going across it.
-
I contacted Krookknight to see if he would 3d print just the parts inside the boxes as it would save me a ton of time and be more lite weight than what I could do, and probably look better in the end.
Here I was just starting to get the boxes together. Again, plywood to support the weight
Here you can see I've got the corners rounded
-
Antenne is pretty much rapped up
I wanted the boxes to be as lite as I could get them so I when with a 3/8 thick polystyrene core with a paper outside
-
Also knew I wanted the top of the antenna to come off for easy transport
I used bondo to get some of the angels I wanted.
Finally taking shape

So this started foe me when I got the 1/6 scale hot toys fig and just fell in love. I thought (and still do) that this pack is just the coolest. I debated for a little bit on making the crystal patrol pack but then decided to stay with my first love.
I started out pulling measurements from the fig and making a moc up with cardboard just to get an idea of size.
I hope everyone can see the photos.
I knew the parts the attached the antenna would need to be solid so I made the out of 1/2 plywood.
Again sizing up my parts

I would say it is leather.

I sure hope so, I just ordered one from trooperbay

I have a question concerning the pauldron. In the photo the white pauldron looks like just a normal pauldron flipped over to show the white cotton underside on top. However the hot toys 1/6 scale is leather. I was really close to getting a leather one made, then I thought I'd ask first. So what is it, leather or normal cloth?
-
I'm almost done with the hard pack, just waiting on some 3d printed parts to come in. I'm sure it is the most accurate you will find right now. As far as modeling it, I'm ordering my kit now so it will be a little bit. I see a lot more people have completed the soft pack so looks like that will be the model photo
-
I ordered parts and am looking forward to starting this building. I'm a big fan of how this pack looks

So this isn't the finished product, I've still got to do some sanding and filling but it's coming along nicely!
Its thick enough that I could use screws to attach the shoulder straps. I wanted something that I could take on and off if there ever was a problem later on down the road.
