My friend and I both set to create TK armor last November. We were able to complete it in July.
Here is the Flickr Photostream for my approval pics:

Thanks! I wish I had pulled up the forearms for the pics... they fit nice and tight. Hopefully that part of the pics is a non-issue.

Awesome looking costume.

Where did you get the silver flat headed rivet on the codpiece? I've been trying to find one.

JoAnn's Fabrics. Buy a pack of Jean Rivets and a jean rivet crimping kit. All works really nice.
I also used them to make loops for my thick strapped elastic connected to the thighs. The elastic loops go through a black belt to keep the armor held up nice.

I just need to pull up my belt in the back and replace the ab button plate. I have it in the sandtrooper square and it should be glued over the top of it. That sort of detail makes me with these things came with instructions!
