Cod pieces?; TK only or can something else be used?

The one piece I'm having a heck of a time finding is an accurate cod piece. Are you guys using the bottom portion of the TK abdomen armor, or is there some other piece out there. I'm half tempted to just ditch that piece due to the comfort factor. Any help is appreciated...thanks.

And while I do have a TK cod piece at home I could paint, I think I am going to try to find a different solution. I think I will go buy an athletic support cup and do a vaccum mold off of it. It is the closest that I can think of getting to the cod piece as seen in a lot of the reference pics. If anyone else has a better idea, I am all ears..... errr, eyes! - Bill

Fortunately, I do have friends in the garrison that are very talented that could lend me a hand. - Bill

It cuts with a sharp knife, sands easilly, and forms in boiling water (or with a heat gun). If anyone's interested I'll post up some kind of 'how to guide' as I'm making my thigh armour from sintra.

However, I can post a general 'how to' with sintra and add in pics as I go through the process with the thighs.
