I'm looking for some upgrade pieces for my Kropserkel Cylon to be more screen accurate.
1. The ankle amor isn't complete and I'm looking for ankle armour to go on the inside of the legs.
2. The chest plate doesn't come with the back ribs and connector between the ribs so I'm looking for those as well.
3. The back pack is in two pieces and is missing the L Shaped curve section, I think i've seen that L curve as a separate piece.
Does anyone know anyone who sells these individual pieces?
Here is my Kropserkel Cylon, I've ordered original gloves to upgrade those already and added the metal skirt.

Re: Armour upgrades
I would recommend sending member C.O.R.A a note.
He has great, accurate armor offerings.

Re: Armour upgrades
Heres what I did to improve the lack of armor from the Kropserkel kit.
I used the same thickness plastic and reflective vinyl and cut my own pieces.
Here are the pieces compare to a fiberglass kit.
Side straps,ribs
Boot pieces
As far as the backpack, I did a lot of cut,fit,tape,curse,refit,retape,retape,curse and so on and still its inaccurate because its made inaccurate to begin with. No angle. I looked at a lot of threads here on the forums to get a better idea before cutting. Id use the fiberglass backpack but I don't have anyone to chrome it locally.

Re: Armour upgrades
Wow, thanks for those pictures and ideas for upgrading the Kropserkel.
If I can't find the pieces I'll look into getting some plastic and fabricating the pieces. The back upgrade looks like it really is starting from zero and building a new pack.

Re: Armour upgrades
Ah! I used chrome vinyl for a light saber hilt... CYLONS! Totally didn't cross my mind.
Great idea for a cost effect solution to parts like the ribs.
