High all! It has been a few weeks since I posted last.
I will post pics as soon as I can, but my camera phone is not funtioning properly.
I have elected to use chicken wire and Paper Mache for my molds, and have made the frames(minus the details) of the Breast plate, back plate, a shoulder bell, lower legs, gauntlets, elbow, helmet, hand pieces and am working on the biceps, now.
Besides the shoulder pads and toe armour, am I missing any hard pieces?
Oh, and in some pics I see the shoulder bells are the same shape, and sometimes I see them as two different shapes. Mabe I am seeing it wrong, but are they just different builds?

G'day mate. Sounds like you've got it all covered. The shoulder bells are different. The right shoulder bell is the same basic shape as a Biker Scout shoulder with the addition of some 'loops'.  The left is a standard clone shoulder bell.  |

The left shoulder bell is the debatable one. In every movie screen I see it looks like a Kashyyyk Trooper bell, but there are sources where it looks like a clone bell.
The CRL's say Kashyyyk Bell but there are quite a few clone bells running around out there.
The right shoulder is just a biker Bell with the ribbing.

How do I attach the straps for the shoulder bells to hold them on?

I have the straps on mine taped and Velcroed.

I ran nylon straps over the shoulder to hold the front/back together and ran short nylon strap off of those to attach to the upper end of each shoulder. Then an elastic strap under each arm to keep them from flopping around  |

!UPDATE! After several failed experiments that resulted in the self-destruction of my frames, I have resorted to using pepekura for my armour. I have been making the models on Blender, and before I hit the print button, thought I might check for accuracy with the gurus  .  Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.usAttachments:
