This is turning out great mate. I'm following this thread as I'm using a similar product for mine. You've given me a few ideas. You're doing and awesome job so far. Keep it up.
Also regarding the greeblie, I think its def a tad too tall. The new marked one looks about right. I'm very eager to see you do the back armor and collar. Its the part I've had troubles with so far...

Yeah, that´s what I´m thinking, too. It´s very difficult. I couldn´t find good references for the size of the greeblie. Also it has to fit in size to the other parts/proportions. The back armour was always a little bit difficult to do. I´ll have to wait till my vest arrives, then we´ll see how it works.
The latest news:
I was lucky to purchase a set of ESB gauntlets from boba trooper, which will be made by him and for the jet pack (I´m planning to built myself) an aluminium set of beacon and stabilizer from eco.
Now back to the cod plate...
I don´t know, if anyone noticed that the frontplate of the cod was too short. I fixed that problem by cutting two 3mm sintra parts (the white parts), glued them together and then glued them onto the cod piece.
To fill the little, but deep gaps, I used express wood-glue, which drys within 5minutes.
That cod looks great! I set out to do the same piece three years ago or so and ended up chucking the thing in the garbage. It was too much for me at the time!

Thanks a lot BobaFiend! Sometimes it isn´t easy... but it should be fun building the costume/props... if it starts becoming irritating... take a step back and have a break.
Thank you, mate!
I haven´t started the upper armour yet, I´m still waiting for my flak vest which should arrive in the next days (I hope so). So the proportions should be correct.
