@IcyTrooper perfect! I'm in the middle of a 10 day Mediterranean cruise. I'll post up the next piece text within the next few days.

Thank you IcyTrooper! I'll be sure to let you know if I have anymore questions! :]

You can be whatever you want to be! There are no restrictions on height, just make sure the pieces are proportional, which may require some trimming to fit your body.

Awesome! Thank you so much!!! Also I know that Death Troopers are like 6ft, I'm unsure of the 501st is like really strict about height stuff but I'm around 5'6-5'7! Would I still be able to do a Death Trooper cosplay?

Good evening! You can find a good list of vendors here: Jim's contact info is here: jimmiroquai@yahoo.com

We are still waiting for the CRL system backend upgrades before we can add it to the CRL (as well as pictures), but this will be the finalized accessory text for the Jump Pack: Jump Pack Solid black in color and styled after the comic reference. A loose interpretation is allowed, but reference accuracy is encouraged. There are four levels/sections to the backpack described below: Top level: A four-sided rectangular detail in the upper one-third of the second level near the wearer's helmet. The sides of the rectangle are longer on the outer edges. Second level: A six-sided coffin shaped detail in the upper two-thirds of the third level. The sides of this shape are longer on the outer edges. Third level: A ten-sided uniquely shaped detail, with two sides that that jut out just above the thruster sections. On each of those two sides there are two rectangular cut-outs that match the reference photos. These cut-outs must be backed with material that matches the color of the rest of the jump pack. Fourth level: There are two obtuse triangular-shaped sections on each side of the jump pack. From these triangular shapes there are two slanted sections where the thrusters are mounted. There are two circular thrusters mounted on each of the slanted sections on each side. The circular thrusters have straight or slightly curved pipes with a ringed section, approximately 1/4 inch (6.35mm), near the top. The inner section of the thrusters must be backed with material that is either painted or utilizes LEDs to give a bluish soft glow. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Fourth Level: The inner section of the thrusters must be backed with material and utilizes LEDs to give a bluish soft glow.

I will push this to the finalized text and we can move on! @Andreas Funk jetzt geht's los! Codpiece Gloss black in color unless noted below. May be painted in accordance with the Color Scheme Guide. If used, all armor pieces must be painted using the Color Scheme Guide. Codpiece may be slightly weathered but must be uniform with the rest of the costume. Extends under the belt at the top and may be attached to the lower edge of the abdomen. Has a general "V" shaped appearance with three equal distinctive tapered sections with the bottom of the "V" being a horizontal edge. There are two levels to the armor, the top being raised above the bottom. The side edges are angled slightly back towards the body. The bottom edge has a small section angled back towards the body. Has a “U” shaped recess outline on the left of center as worn. A black elastic strap, approximately 1" to 1.25" (25mm to 32mm) wide, may be used to connect the cod and butt plates between the legs.

Great job on this!

@Dropkick and I discussed Version 3 with the helmet being feasible here soon. We are waiting on the backend upgrades to the CRL system before we can update any CRLs. @TreeHuggerMatt I think that we'll be able to add that MerrSonn Power 5 Blaster as well.

Hello! I am fairly new to the cosplay community and wanted know how exactly I can start with making a Death Trooper kit? I've done a little bit of research and see that Jim Tripon" is really good? Was wondering how I could get in contact with them to hopefully start my Death Trooper journey! :]

@RAIDER @Phin Scout @Syntaxerror @toddo what boots did you guys use for your Specialist scout boots?

Is there a base boot that everyone looks for in a specialist build? Thanks

Hey guys! Been awhile huh. Anyway I've received all the parts and am finished up painting and assembling everything. I hope to be able to submit tomorrow, if not Monday.

UPDATE: Flightsuit: Jim Tripon-scheduled for delivery Tactical Vest: Tripon-scheduled for delivery Inferno patches: Endor finderes-scheduled for delivery Considering the following: Helmet, and hard parts: Intergalactic supply/pilot bay Shoulder ammo pouch: trooper bay: just got word that it is CRL compliant Compad: Most likely will go with Philo Props rather hero Tec X: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1041594014/1-set-compad-of-inferno-squad-replica?ref=search2_top_narrowing_intent_modules_top_rated-1&logging_key=3d69c3b47f9805bf2318cab7b52a60d515683264%3A1041594014 For gloves and boots: do you recommend Crow Props?

Sure! As soon as I get them, I will leave a note and a review. I'm sorry that your former blaster was broken... It just saddens me to hear that...

Hi. One of my local garrison members is looking at the kit. Could u pls confirm a couple of details? Does the detonator on the back kidney plate have different sized end caps? Do the thighs come with enough accurate ribbed material to do the inner And outer gaps? The person looking at the armour is 5ft 11". Can u confirm this will work? My concern is, altho abs I cant see how it could be trimmed without losing important details. Many thanks Nick UkGarrison DT armourer.

It's great to have more input, so thanks a million for chipping in Nichole. I think you'll have no issues here for two main reasons: 1) ALL measurements in the CRL are to be taken as approximate - we're trying to do a better job of stressing that this time around. So the relative measurements compared to how the costume fits on the wearer is far more important than any absolute measurements. So if a 6'3" Del needs to drop their mag pouches by about an inch to look accurate to the reference pics, it is only natural that someone who is 5'2" wouldn't have to drop their pouches quite so far. 2) You said that you'd be worried that the pouches would end up rest on top of your scout belt, but in fact the reference images show Del's in-game pouches almost doing exactly this already. The central pouch has virtually no daylight between its lower edge and the top of the belt, while the pouches on either side have a clearance of a few mms at most. So long as they're not overlapping down in front of the belt face, I think you're good 🙂 Also, just a note for us all to come back to later - I've only just noticed that the reference image above actually shows an E-11 in Del's holster... I don't recall seeing that in any of the other reference images? Definitely need to revisit that "Holster must be worn empty" when we get to that section later.

No worries mate. @Dropkickand I are both attending an epic multi-day troop next weekend down at some of the Ep VII and VIII filming locations, so I was planning to have a word in his ear then about this 😉 Yup, I think that approach is the right one. Since I started on this, the publishers have also released interactive 360 degree images of the painted sculpts, so we're in an even better position to make the case than before. Plus I noticed that Del Meeko's artwork from the same publication also finally gives us a look at the compad, which confirms my previous assumption that it was the standard Inferno compad in place again. I added the new images and links to the reference image thread last week.

Hi there and best of luck in your build! Let me know when you get your E-11D blaster in as I'm curious to hear your experience with Imperial Blasters. I'm looking to get a replacement for my broken one.

Spec Ops Det Founder here. I'm looking for the STL file for the black telemetry unit on the helmet for a build for a squad mate. The files I bought don't have it. If you have one, could you please email just that STL to kchristley@gmail.com Kev

I'll have to dive back into this. We never did submit this to the LMOs for feasibility/placement, so we'll have to do that as well. I'm hoping that using the main Inferno Del as the primary source and then the art/models as the backup. @Dropkick would need to formally email the LMOs on this with the rationale of going for this one.

Chiming in, if I may, because I've been bothering Blackwatch in DMs anyway, but question/comment on the L2 requirements for the front 3 pouches on the vest. Apologies if my wording does not make sense. "The three magazine pouches fall approximately 1" (25mm) below the bottom edge of the vest." Even with everything being approximately 1" (strapping on the vest, etc), it still is quite difficult to fit everything in when you're someone of my stature (152cm/46kg). I built my vest scaling everything down based on the current pictures in the CRL to get it as close as possible and maintaining the "approximately 1in" on the straps. My vest could only be scaled down so much before it just couldn't hold all of the details required. The end of the vest/pouches literally touches my belt line. Adding another 1" to those boxes to drop it would probably cause the pouches to rest on the front of my outer belt. I had similar issues taking my Biker Scout to L2, with the recommended sizing on the front pouches combined being wider than my torso. Now, I know and understand I'm like the 1% of people who will ever have this problem with this particular costume. I'd like to take what I have to L2 for giggles one day, would this automatically disqualify what I've built due to my size?

I will also throw up the thermal detonator and holster components (with my initial proposed changes) so that these can be discussed together with the ammo belt. For the troopers the holster straps sit outside the belt, attaching inside the top edge of the belt. This is a departure from the way they are worn by the named members of Inferno Squad. Thermal Detonator A black thermal detonator is worn centred on the back of the belt. Detonator is based on a Black ANH TK Thermal Detonator. The detonator from the Inferno Squad - Commander Iden Versio CRL is acceptable. Thermal detonator is attached to the back of the belt via metal “scoop" hooks, painted black and attaches over the top of the belt. Thermal detonator may be light to moderately weathered. Holster Holster is made of black leather or leather-like material. A Stormtrooper or Inferno Squad - Del Meeko style holster is acceptable for basic approval. Holster is worn on left side of belt. Holster is attached via 2 black leather or leather-like straps which are attached inside the top edge of the ammo belt, hanging down over the ammo belt pass behind the belt, using two fasteners in the middle of the belt. Fasteners may be rivets, snaps, or Chicago screws. Note: The straps are slightly longer for this holster than seen on Stormtroopers. There is a retention strap which ends in a point approximately 1/2" (13mm) beyond a black snap closure. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): The holster is made of leather. A leather square is seen under the rivet at the top corners of the holster where the straps are mounted. Holster is worn empty.
