Battlefront 2: Rebel Vangaurd

[Spooner ()]

was looking over the write up/CRL that was written up for the Vangaurd and was a tad confused on the gaiters and pouches.
The write up said the gaiters need to have 1 strap at the top.......does that main they can be velcroed or zippered up the back of the calf and then a grey strap at the top?

Now the pouches are pretty vague and says 3 green pouches......does that mean leather or canvas and should I stick with all 3 the same size, get Vietnam ammo pouches, or just 3 pouches no matter what as long as they're green?
I figured possibly canvas since most pouches written up here for troopers are canvas and they'd go along with the olive green web belt.

I've seen 2 different type of gaiter patterns on here and dunno which is useable.

for anyone trying to determine how to make a gaiter, thats really good info. My MF gunner gaiters are just a tube that fits my calf, with the seams down the front and the velcro in back along with the tan strip. I put some heavy batting in to help them keep their shape.

I dunno, from all the pics I've gone over from the games, this just doesn't look right.

[G'nott sH'urr (David Campbell)]

Which part does not look right? We only have so many images to reference, so we work with what we have.
Since you would literally be one of the first, build it the way that you feel is correct, then submit. The judges may be inclined to approve your methodology.

I think shadowing seen on the gaiters could be accomplished with spray paint to indicate shadows are there.

Seeing as I've been slowly working on a Vanguard as well (need a "good guy" to go with my Phase Zero Dark Trooper armor!) this is something that I've been looking at as well. The gaiters seem to be very similar to the A-wing, B-wing and Y-wing pilot gaiters from Return of the Jedi, just without the double fold down the front center, and of course these are gray with a tan strap, and there are no buckles on the sides. They look to be fairly loose, rest at about the top of the foot, and are wrinkled (caused by the looseness and resting on the foot, which creases it when the foot bends). My pilot gaiters are made out of a thin vinyl with a felt backing and the Vanguard gaiters look similarly smooth, though that's likely because of the low quality texture of the graphic skin.

Judging by the shadow cast under the strap, it looks like the strap fits somewhat loosely, like the pilot gaiters do.

One thing that I've been debating is the black area at the top of the gaiters. I don't know what that's supposed to be. It looks to thick and dark for a shadow, but it also doesn't make sense to have that as a piece of material under it. There also appears to be a triangular cut in the front top of the gaiters, which is... odd. Maybe the gaiters do have a triangular cut at the top and maybe the black is just a shadow on the pants?
