I have noticed in most of the ABS DT kits, the edges and the recess are there, just not as sharp. With that being said, as long as there is an "oblong recess", no matter how slight it is, your GML should be able to approve it. Some with the ABS kits have used 3D printed handplates so that the details are sharper.

chest and back armor cleared and locked. regarding the suit, many of us have the black suit already, and we will be re using it. I see no reason to create an all-new set of text to create an all new version of the suit. To me the costume builders on set re-used what they had, and that is how I will write the text. Ultimately, as we continue to create these CRLs, the LMO has the final say on what is approved text, and we have had to go back and change things with LMO input. Regrding seam hight, anyone who served in the US military in the 80s and wore BDUs knows that the blouse will fall to different hieghts on different people depending on build. My blouse falls to the top of my thigh but someone just an inch and a half taller than me wearing the same size blouse will have it appear to fall higher becaues they are taller. When we wrote "just to mid thigh" that means it will not go lower but higher IS permitted-based on all the discussion from S1 on both the green and black unforms, input from he people wearing them on set, staff discussion and what the the LMO ultimately agreed on. Shoulder armor and biceps are next, copied from the Security trooper CRL with prooposed changes: Change log 1.0 Shoulder armor: I may be wrong on this, but are these just common R1 stormtrooper shoulderbells? I dont see the grooves present on the regular Security or Alhani or Mudtrooper shoulders. I see no shoulder strap around the arm like Tks have. The whole shoulder armor just seems to flop about, and do whatever it wants mostly moving back on the arm when worn and on top of the Supervisor Heert's tunic it rides up and floats. So if these are just R1 shoulderbells we would suitabley alter our text to: Shoulder Armor Rogue One style stormtrooper shoulder armor. The shoulders are considered effectively symmetrical; they may be worn interchangeably on the left and right shoulders. Shoulders are mounted to the shoulder strap via a 1" (25.4mm) up to 2" (50.8mm) webbing strap. A black elasic strap is permitted to help hold the armor in place. Biceps — Version One For basic approval a one-piece bicep is permitted. The bicep may appear “open” or split as seen on screen. Cover strips will appear on the front and back, covering joints if present. Bicep cover strips are raised and beveled with an added strip inset into the top of the bevel. Cover strips may be as deep as ½" (12.7mm) and up to ⅞" (23.5mm) in width, beveled on all four sides. Biceps are painted to match the armor and helmet. and shins. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Biceps are a two-piece design with the halves held together with hidden flexible cord and shall remain flexible. I had my doubts regarding the two piece design until i noted that Sgt Gharials' biceps are clearly split and moving apart. I think the bicep the poor trooper that Kleya went beast mode on was probably a one piece design.

i have Jims armor and I have a metric frakton of Walts plastic. The flexible amor is wierd. It gives. Very handy, but the neck breaks. Tarrif was good enough to model up a replacement neck to be 3d printed in flexible material like TPU for us. ill be using the Jim armor for my own ISB build. Walt uses a top quality plastic. Gorgeous plastic. Now te edges of his molds where the mold meets the parting line, that gets a bit waffly, but as I said I have a LOT of Walts plastic, so I just work around it knowing that the edges need to be sorted out with care when cutting.

Very well reasoned Paul , its apprecated. im going to err on the side of Caution (and knowing how the LMOs approach what we do NOT see in references) and say the left name tape with a simple MEDIC in black or even blue as pointed out in the Wiki would be likely to recieve LMO blessing. Dropping that pouch can be accmplshed with very heavy fabric and a loop around the belt, with some plastic reinforcment inside it. For the box, less will be more towards acceptance by the LMO. Amazon is even kind enough to offer a pistol case molded in white

yeah those helmets will drop right down on your head for sure Mine all have hard hat liners in them.

So lets talk about the belt. Is there anything further to discuss? Text from the current CRL: Imperial Officer Under Belt The belt is constructed from leather or a leather-like material. A very slight texture is acceptable. Approximately 2" (51mm) in width, up to 3" (76mm) is acceptable. There are no loops or extra holes on the belt. A single large snap or rivet is visible approximately 1" (25mm) from the left side of the buckle. The buckle is constructed from a horizontally brushed metal, or metal looking material. The buckle size is approximately 2.62" (66mm) high and 4.12" (104mm) wide with 0.5" (13mm) radius rounded corners. Buckle is adorned with an Imperial Code Disk at the center. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Belt is made of non-textured leather. Two parallel grooves run the length of the belt 1/8" (3mm) in from edge. Snap is worn to the left of the wearer 1" (25mm) from the buckle edge. Buckle has a slight horizontal curve.

Hi all, in an effort to keep from flooding the forum with new topics every time I have a question, I’m hoping I might be able to get some eyes on this here. I ended up going with the Death Trooper kit and raw helmet from 850, and they will be here by the weekend most likely. (Impatiently watching the box make its way up a few states to me) I’ve already made plans to have some helmet pieces printed for better accuracy once I get the helmet and can measure for scaling, but wanted to get opinions on this hand plate. The file is from MCM_Design on Cults3d. I wanted to reach out and see if they might be willing to just sell me the hand plate file. With this having the appearance of some thickness and the recessed oblong shape along the front edge, would it be a safe guess to say this should be better suited than what will come with the kit?

So I recently got my V1 helmet from Intergalactic supply (who also did my V5 gunner armor). And while I expected it to need some work to fit, I was actually surprised how big it was. (I have a big head so often times things are smaller for me than they are big like this) Thankfully I found these pads on amazon, As you can see it included a very large 1-2" thick pad that fit perfectly in the dome of the helmet, . Which was the perfect thickness for me to get the helmet EXACTLY at the level it needed to be.

There it is! My memory was lost on where we got that from lol. Thanks! And I figured those 2 other suggestions were for standard IATs...we can put that aside for now and just focus on the medic text.

@RAIDER I appreciate your feedback! I would imagine that the Imperial Army Logo came from Comic 35 of Sunder's uniform: I agree the Aurbesh should be standardized on the nametag. once it's decided what it should say. My other two suggestions were for any IAT, as regular troopers (suspender wearers) were seen with them.

With this text revision drafted, figure I'd chime in a bit since I did alot of that initial IAT work way back when... First, @MbIAT I appreciate all of the panel references to support your suggestions. Will always do our best to err on the side of references (though we haven't always been perfect). With that said, here's my take on some portions of the draft (I'll work in reverse): Medical Accessories: This could get hairy...I wouldn't leave it open for "creativity." That just seems like a Pandora's box. I think at most, maybe the box we see the trooper carrying. The other items are more like things you'd find in a tent and then hand to a wounded trooper...I wouldn't include those in the CRL. Additionally, I wouldn't even include the box unless a builder has one built to be reviewed, photo'd and ready to be added for others to reference. Pouches: I'll defer to @Blackwatch and @Beau Thacker on this. Nametape: For this, Option 1 seems the safest. Looking back at the Sapper, I think we may have written the rocker tag a little too loosely by not specifying what the text is saying...I'd even recommend we revisit that piece as the CRLs are getting transitioned to the new system. I'm actually torn a bit looking in hindsight because I can't recall where we even got the Imperial Army logo as it's not visible in any of the panels that I see (unless I'm overlooking it). So all that to say....if something is going on the nameplate (and I'm not certain we should anymore), the less the better IMO so I'm not a fan of adding logos...and then whatever is added should probably have a specified aurebesh text so costumes are uniform. I think that covers it for the medic variant along w your suggestion to remove suspenders. Now you made 2 other suggestions regarding holster and thermal det...are these not for the medic? My take on those...the holster optional orientation works for me...you supported that well w/ references. The det...I'm good w/ that as well...though the lore says they aren't standard, neither are the white belts being used. In this storyline, the IAT use of gear typically used by TKs (i.e. the belt), works.

Hi. I recently ordered mine from him and yes you will have to ask him on Facebook. In a PDF it’s labeled but yo can put down a 40% down payment and you’ll be in the queue. You’ll save money for it too.

First pulls:

Thanks for looking these over, Ive since corrected the angle to further match some reference I found with the R1TK

Sie müssen beim Tim fragen. Er macht die ganze Soft-Parts so Sie können von ihm kaufen ohne Sorgen. Tim ist in Facebook!

Started to paint shoulder bell. Scuffed and tack clothed why’s it goin on funny notices i Let it dry then brought it inside. Sees humidity of 77% That’ll do it Bugger

Morgen, dies ist mein allererster Beitrag, also haben Sie bitte Gnade mit mir, wenn ich falsche Threads usw. verwende. Ich möchte eine Death-Trooper-Rüstung bauen und habe deshalb nach Tipps, Einkaufslisten und Tutorials gesucht. Dieses Forum ist echt super! Als Erstes möchte ich die weichen Teile organisieren, da ich monatelang warten muss. Viele Leute scheinen ihren Unteranzug bei Jim Tripon zu kaufen. Da ich in Europa lebe und normalerweise hohe Versandkosten zahle, wollte ich fragen, wie viel ein Unteranzug von Jim kostet, um zu sehen, ob es sich lohnt oder ob ich ihn mir von einem Schneider in der Nähe individuell anfertigen lassen soll. Verkauft er auch den Halsteil? Mir ist außerdem aufgefallen, dass es Gummiteile an den Oberschenkeln gibt. Wie hast du sie befestigt? Welches Material hast du verwendet? Könnte jemand Referenzbilder seiner Rüstung posten? Vielen Dank! Zippy

Thanks

Looking good buddy .

Thank brother ! This immensely helpful . Ordered soft goods and armor . All I got is the boots so far .

Doing an IST trooper ( Ferrix) and this will be a big help thank you . I am fearing doing the collar . I ordered my armor from 850.

Hallo Kann einer von den erfahrenen Leuten erzählen, wie lange ihr noch damit rechnet, bis das Projekt komplett durch ist ? Gruß Andreas

Likewise. I've messaged Jim for a price for the soft good and armor minus the helmet.

Thats just amazing

need to sort out paints etc for the very slimey shoulder straps... Pretty sure I can remember what @Dropkick said I needed lol
