Is there a source or tutorial perhaps for the rank badges seen on the Rebel Troopers vests as seen here:

Re: Rogue One Rank Badges
Random bits of junk glued to a back plate.
Many times the pieces are model parts and the rectangles are the same machine button covers used for the Imperial rank badges.

Re: Rogue One Rank Badges
The rank badges are the ones on the right (silver w/dots)
Dot color denotes military branch, Green Army, Red ? (doesn't say)
UVD calls the one on the left in window pocket a "Personal Identifier Transponder" that also conceals a "lullaby" suicide pill.

Re: Rogue One Rank Badges
R1 rank badges are made differently than the ESB Hoth ones they're trying to emulate, too.
ESB ones had round switch covers (ala the Imperial bars) on the surface. These have round cutouts in a coverplate revealing the colored transparencies under them.

Re: Rogue One Rank Badges
I won't swear to it but it seemed like the R1 ranks were a triple layer design because I think I noticed the layers from the side. The front and back layer was silver with a blue (or red depending on affiliation) in the middle. It also seemed like it was not just a simple circular cutout revealing the blue (or red) layer, but that the pips/dots were actually raised a bit toward the surface.
Like I said... I'm not swearing to it.

Re: Rogue One Rank Badges
I am pretty sure that Rebel and Resistant ranks are pretty much the same. Blue marks Navy affiliation and Red marks Army. The main difference is that instead of just dots, the resistance pretty much connects the dots to form lines.

Re: Rogue One Rank Badges
Which has been answered.
Junk glued to a back plate.
The red rectangle in your second pic is the same cover plates used on the Imperial rank badges, Snow Trooper, etc.
The other parts look like rubber stick on feet, random plastic rectangles and bits of half round strips.
The textured part is either a machined part or a truck muffler.
Top pic looks like a hose connector with the same stepped bits used on the other plate and a toy comb (could be an electronics part)
Lot's of random parts can be found at machine shops or parts surplus stores.
Almost all of it can be scratch built with just stuff around the house.

Yes, or he could rename his own thread topic to correctly ask for what he wanted: "Rogue One ID/Transponder Badges.
I'm just glad fans are finally realizing these badges on rebel uniforms in R1 and past movies are not rank badges. I've been trying convince people of that for years now.

Found this pic of Jyn's poncho showing the same piece,
Some of the details on the comb looking thing, some sort of electronics plug from the looks of it.

Re: Rogue One Rank Badges
Ok...thread title changed. Some of these parts remind of electric shaver parts:

Looking through the Art Of Book (pg 163) it's referred to as a Communicator on Jyn's poncho drawing.
If that shaver part is small enough it may work.
