Hey y'all, I didn't want to start another thread, but I also have a CRL question, this time about Carnor Jax. The CRL says the cape/cloak MUST be constructed of "black non-reflective, heavyweight material"; I have a Rubies Darth Vader cape which IMO fits that description. On the other hand...

In the bottom pic you can see a detail of the belt with pouches (both are the kind used by police officers and security guards) and holster (the bl...

Another update on the breastplate; the pieces have been fine-tuned (puttied and sanded) and are now ready for painting.

Notice the beveled edges, which IMO really enhance the overall look of the armour:

I saw a recommendation concerning a flexible plastic tube connected to a snorkel mouthpiece:

I myself haven't attempted to do it yet, but it may be worth a try.
