Looks fantastic!

Just got my Triple 0 approved and met Anthony Daniels Saturday in it

Thank you! I do have a couple of quick questions, though: this kit came without instructions and also did not come with any of the seam cover strips for the legs and arms. I know it’s a WTF, PVC kit, is there a source for this black PVC strip material that I might be able to get locally versus trying to purchase it online? I will try to reach out to the maker of this kit again,to see if there’s a way I can get a sheet of this material from them. Just want to explore my options. Second question: how do you differentiate the left from the right pieces of the forearms and lower leg portions? Nothing’s really labeled, so I’ve been going by intuition and what I’ve been seeing as examples on YouTube videos and build threads. Mat

Great to see this Matt. Check the other WIP threads & feel free to ask any question. There are no silly questions & this SwiftSilentRelentless family will be able to answer any build question you may have.

agreed. I believe we can rapidly move through those sections. Boots appear to be the same as well. The next piece in CRL order is the chest armor. We know the origin, there are minor differences to be discussed. We need to verify that the back box insets are the same as the security trooper when we get to the back armor, but this is only for the chest. Proposal colors Modified text New text Removed text Chest Armor Change log 1.0 Original text. We know the color is whilte so Im just going to go ahead and make that change now. Reference photo from our Security Trooper CRL gallery for reference against our white troopers. Chest Armor Chest armor matches visual references being accurate in shape and design. The join between the chest and back armor are created by an angled sweep starting at the bottom of the chest armor and finishing at the bottom of the back armor. This may be held closed with magnets, Velcro, or another hidden fastener. There is an indented area around the outer edge of the center flat section. Buckles attach to upper chest plate and match the armor color. and are painted gunmetal or dark silver. Shoulder straps are affixed to the chest plate at the buckle. The shoulder strap is black white. It is permitted to be made of cast flexible urethane or other flexible material. To the lower left side of the center flat panel is a recessed area angled inward from bottom to top with a raised rectangle greeblie and a recessed horizontal elongated oval. Left of the recessed area is a raised square that extends from the center to the curved side of the armor. On the top left side of the raised area is a raised oblong detail that protrudes outwards. Chest shall be painted to match helmet and back armor. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Buckles have black recess on upper narrow section and the lower recess shall expose the chest armor. Buckles may have silver paint chipping showing gunmetal underneath the silver. Discussion: over on Kevin Wiers's Imperial Surplus IG account he commented that this seaon he noted that new fittings were being used on the buckles, thes are Martin Baker ejection seat buckles and a different part number was used for some of the buckle components. Those with sharper eyes than mine can dive into the particulars on these fittings, but for my money, if you have the rigth configuration thats great for L1. I know @BigJasoni had remixed some buckles at one point for the MudtrooperUK files and I had printed those back then.

Greeting all! Excited to get started on this Shadow Trooper build. Please bear with me, as this is my first full armor build. I received this Walt’s Trooper Factory kit from a fellow 501st member and have been doing a little trimming and a lot of reading in preparation. I’ll get some photos loaded up when I get back home. Any advice, tips, tricks to make this process go smoothly would be appreciated. Leave any comments here, or PM me if you would prefer. Thanks in advance, (photos will be posted up as soon as I have some decent images worthy enough to share). from the shadows we come forth for the Empire! Mat

Armour on way , should be here this week or Monday

Same could be said for the pants

agreed. We shall proceed with the belief that these were reused from Season 1 without mofification. Change log 1.0 (Final text proposal) Tunic A long-sleeved, black jacket that falls just to mid-thigh, with no visible zippers or buttons. Fabric is a plain weave cotton similar to duck canvas. Has a high mandarin style collar with a left-over-right closure that rises from the front of the tunic. The front closure overlaps left over right and rises from the hem at the bottom of the tunic to the top of the collar. Four rectangular pockets are present on the jacket front, covered by large flapped closures. Lower pockets are larger than the ones on the upper chest. Lower pocket seams rest on the same seam as the end of the tunic The rear of the jacket has a horizontal seam present near the upper back. Two vertical seams start below the horizontal upper back seam moving down the bottom of the jacket. Two black tunic hooks to hold the belt in place are permitted. If used, the hooks will pass from the inside of the tunic to the outside through holes on either side of the tunic at the hip. The belt covers the holes. One pocket is present on each arm of the jacket, each covered by large flapped closures. The top of the arm pocket flaps are in line with the top edge of the chest pockets. Cuffs on the sleeves are about mid-distance to the elbow. The material folds back on itself to form the cuff. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): The front jacket flap will have rectangular stitch marks with a stitched X inside where Velcro is attached to keep the flap closed. Fabric has the appearance of waxed canvas or oilskin fabric. If left arm rank bars are present, the black fabric should be similar to duvetyn type of fabric and will have 3 equidistant horizontal stitch lines through each rank bar.

I'd suggest any hook detail be limited to L2 as its not seen in the series. Good to know from the BTS images that there's one there, but would recommend a possible L2 addition.

New submission photos with the updates sent in. (A formality) so hopefully I will get the all clear today!

We are currently out of stock.

lol yeah honestly his looks great. The never ending battle we have with his though is when he scrapes against something. His kit is a Anovos TK that we got for waaaaaaaay cheap. I thought it would be a good idea to make a normal TK for him until he decided what he wanted to make as his favorite first kit so that he could get his feet wet in armor…….then I had to paint it black and add “red” *cough* (pink) stripes to it because he loves the red/black contrast. lol.

Hooks appear to be present, as per slide 5 on here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DJquT1zoekb/?img_index=5 (It's pretty small, and due to the compression barely visible, but yeah, you can make out a hook on the right side of the picture) Similarly, you can see the fabric texture pretty well on slides 1+2

Looks great. Just wondering, will you be adding Elite components back as a purchase option on your website?

Unless we see evidence that they dramatically altered the IST tunic just for this one costume, I'd say it is safe to proceed with the previous CRL text. Do we have confirmation from those who were on set that it is 100% the same tunics used? And yes sorry, if there's anything that is 100% hidden by the armour then probably no harm either dropping it or maybe better yet moving it to Level 2.

Apologies David, a busy few days! In line with some of the discussions we had earlier in the text, a few further tweaks below. I've also just put a little bit of proposed tidying in to clean up some of the wordiness. Flightsuit One-piece flight suit is made out of a suitably heavy fabric. A canvas style fabric is most suitable, but other fabrics consistent with the visual references are entirely acceptable. The front zipper is covered by a 2" (50mm) wide piece of leather or leather-like material with vertical lines that attaches with Velcro over the zipper. Approximately 1.5" (38mm) tall mandarin collar with a chevron shaped, left-over-right Velcro closure. A 2.5" (63.5mm) red embroidered or PVC Inferno Squad emblem, on a black background, is present on both shoulders. The shoulders of the suit are slightly padded. A compad pocket that properly fits the compad is placed above the left glove so that the pocket is not hidden and faces outward on the arm. On the left bicep below the cog emblem, there is a code cylinder pocket with no flap, and vertical stitching dividing it into pen sleeves. No code cylinders are present. The bottom front corner is cut off at an angle. A piece of leather or leather-like material is sewn below the pen sleeve openings and is the same length as the top of the pocket. There is a piece of nylon strapping sewn below the pen sleeve openings and is the same length as the top of the pocket. The bottom front corner of the pocket is cut off at a bevel on the side pointing in view direction, with the broader upside forming the border of the pen sleeves. The right sleeve has a cargo pocket with a chevron flap below the cog emblem. The right arm pocket has a chevron flap. Two large chest pockets and two large front pockets with no zippers or flaps are present below the belt. There are no leg pockets below the knees. There are two red stripes that run up the right side of the flight suit. The first begins at the bottom of the right leg and continues up to the right armpit. The second begins at the right wrist and stops at the bottom of the arm pocket. The stripe then continues above the arm pocket, behind the patch emblem to the shoulder seam. The red arm stripe stops at the top of the shoulder seam, but continues up and over the shoulder as a black stripe. There are two black stripes that run up the left side of the flight suit. The first begins at the bottom of the left leg and continues up to the left armpit. The second begins at the left wrist and stops at the bottom of the arm pocket. The stripe then continues above the arm pocket, behind the patch emblem to the shoulder seam. The black arm stripe stops at the top of the shoulder seam, but continues up and over the shoulder to the collar. For basic approval this can be accomplished with topstitching. The black portion of this stripe stops at the collar. A piece of leather or leather-like material is sewn below the pen sleeve openings and is the same length as the top of the pocket. MOVED ABOVE TO THE SLEEVE SECTION FOR CLARITY OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Patches are vinyl on textile with no edge border. If twill is used for the patch material the fabric texture will be vertically oriented. The black stripes on top of the shoulders shall be a material matching texture and weave of the red stripe. Textured canvas is most accurate for the flightsuit's construction as it is a thick materials with a "solid" structure. A "loose", soft or lightweight material is not accurate.

Any discussion about the tunic and the points I brought up ?

I'd say just another version of this to include the riot helmet version. The riot shield would probably follow the weapons clause and be optional.

Good question, and it will either become a new tabbed variant, or recieve a new CRL. Ill review with Staff. Im inclined to add verbiage to cover the "green" newbie Ghorman troopers who had brand new armor, but also riot helmets and sheilds.

Your link works and the photos are definitely helpful! The immediate things that stick out to me are: -the top grey faceplate is crooked and would have to have the space on the side of the nose grill more evenly distributed - the front grille greeblie should slide in to its slot and lay flat. The nose grille is also look crooked. -the 2 tusk covers would need to be trimmed and fit in from behind the tusks (though you may just opt to use dark green safety face shield and trim it to fit inside them). Hopefully these are easy fixes for you!

The Pathfinders Detachment has a list of 3D files that they've seen used (below). I don't see anything glaringly incorrect with the Galactic Armory files, but there is an analysis of all the inaccuracies in the files in a thread on the Pathfinders Detachment. GA did correct the important inaccuracies, so you should be fine as long as you've purchased the files recently and you aren't going for higher level accuracy. The Pathfinders folks confirmed that the files shouldn't have any issues with basic approval, but you may want to go find that thread for any concerns.

I think you may be right, it could do with a little less angle to it. I'll get some strapping on it tomorrow and see what it looks like then.
