Figured that I should post a picture of my approved costume, in case anyone was thinking of using the same vendor. Tunic, pants, hat, and boots are Keep Trooping. Belt and boxes are from @Horus’ Aldhani Trooper kit. Gloves are German army surplus. Joker who took the photo with my eyes closed - my brother.

@Chaos Will do, will tack down the boxes so they can't move about. Boots turned out pretty good, per the SpecOPs/PF tutorials. Just got the bones on. Edit: it appears all rivet sizes per PF are 1/8th or 3mm!

@Aesmodan I would think the CRL 1" specialist requirement is easily accomplished. Eventually space the boxes per the CRL and align them so the strap and slots are even and then either tack them in place with hot glue or E6000. That way if you even have to make adjustments they can be easily moved.

Thanks @Chaos. Working from home today, so I'll look into those adjustments. -I can confirm on the chest the recessed pill shape is painted flat black. The overhead hallway light with reflected off it at a weird angle. -Good catch with the thighs, I can add a second strap for each today or tomorrow. -I'll need my wife around to help with the abdomen/belt/codpiece adjustment and I'll need to get more snaps for that anyways.

ok I played with my stl file a bit to make it look a bit better again my research said 1.5 inches long and 1 inch wide I changed the open end to make it a bit more symmetrical and made the boxes on the side go through the side for a better detail that more matches the original makers design i hope this makes it as close to the game reference as possible I hope you all like it del buckle.stl

I thougth I already started this....who knows I probably didnt mash the SEND IT!! button hard enough. Ok, heres the breakdown: Green- in hand Amber- in progress / ordered Red-figgerin' it out as I go Helmet - Pilot Bay Armor - Pilot Bay Overbelt-Pilot Bay Underbelt-I have old belts laying about Thermal detonator - Pilot Bay Balaclava - Amazon Flight Suit - Jim Tripon Compad - 3d printed Gloves - in progress gloves from amazon that need to be modded with the slit Tactical vest - a big pile of fabric on my table Shoulder ammo pouch - uhhhhhhhhhhhh.............. Holster - Darmans props Boots - Crow Props DLT-19-I have filament and im not afraid to use it Thermal detnator-its the CRL model

Im doiing mine this weekend, finished off printing Kailees TL50 for her Iden now Im onto Dels DLT. I think I might have the same files, the scope is a LOT of sanding to make it round. The file seemed low-poly. Anyway, good thing I rpinted with like 4 walls so I can burn through walls to make it round. Ill post m own work as I go on my own topic.

This post will run in conjunction with my WIP on my own garrison's (Imperial Scottish Garrison) site. Plan is to buy a helmet ready made (they are always the tricky bit) with the rest made to order, Initial thoughts for a lid was the Denuo Novo - BATTLEFRONT II™ Inferno Squad™ Commander Helmet But after discussions with my armorer the "weathered" red lines on the lid are not compatible with the current CRL. Waiting on pictures from "Radu Plucinsky" but most likely the hard parts (including finished lid) will come from him.

well that is the (extensive) list of measurements sent to Crowprops as per their email for the boots & flight suit, so hopefully everything will fit perfectly!

Hello @Blackwatch as soon as BBB day arrives i'll be posting pictures

wow, had no idea Spat was making this. Considering webbing is like 40 cents per foot and triglides are a couple of bucks, 45 plus shipping handling and wait time is pretty hefty for a project that will not take more than ten minutes to make. This is for my Engineer but otherwise its indentical. I wrote both CRLs and I have all three versions of the Army trooper from the comics, this is the simplest part of the entire costume.

Im knees deep in my own! Im glad to see this wip! I held a Wampawear inferno / Iden suit today and its very soft/ light/ non structured. Im very curious how your crow suit will be. I orderd a Jim Tripon suit last night for my own build, and ill be evaluating that suit once I get it. Thanks so much for posting, we need more Dels!

HI Chris welcome, im elbows deep in my own Del, and I wrote the CRL. So, with an Iden here who has literally BEGGED me to be her Del, I guess "were getting a Del!" I got Pilotbays new armor molds so I dont have anything printed for this build other than the special buckle half for the tacvest. Im not sure what Im looking at with that first link. That is Mudtrooper/ ICAT/ Security trooper style armor with a box setup on the back like we see on all those mentioned costumes. The actual chest for Del is modified TX armor like our shadowtroopers wear, but sligttly differnt, Looking at the armor over on Cgtrader the typical Tk belt is hask / iden style not Del. The scout style belt Del uses is smaller than a typical scout belt and the end boxes are a different shape. A standard Scout belt may be used for basic approval, but the smaller, specific belt is needed for L2. The Etsy file doesnt look too bad for the belt, but the boxes are very tall. Id be temped to print them at reduced hieght, slice off te belt part and bond it all to a new abs "belt" that way you have the hieght. The drop box is smaller than normal, and it has a bit curved cutout at the top edg, and is backed/ closed up but you can do that with sign plastic the helmet is smallre and rounder. its a specific shape. A R1 style TIE helmet will suffice for basic approval and we wrote the CRL that way but the game helmet is small. Im a TIE, have been since day 1 and Im also an ATAT driver, (same helmet) and they are huge. this new helmet I got is so tight it tears my ears off and my eyelashes touch the lens, so per the game model its a small helmet. For me, the last few weeks have been a suit search. Per the CRL and per all the references we worked from writing the CRL the suit is stiff and heavy cotton canvas with the nubs in the weave. The closest canvas I have found that meets this is heavy sail canvas , like the stuff Rothco uses for those parachute bags or for old military vintage tool/ gun cleaning bags. I ordered a Jim Tripon siut last night,and i asked for special mods in the suit to shoot for L2 approval. ill review it once I get it. Today I held my freinds Iden suit from Wampawear, and its soft, light and has a very soft drape and hand- definitely not the heavy structured suit we would look for for Level 2 approval. I have not seen/held a Crowprops suit or HerotecX suit so I cant comment. I am working on updating the Del vendor list and have already made some changes to it. It had been a few years and an update was due. Im looking forward to your progress!

More progress is being made on this kit. I'm building it and my new TK at the same time, so, yay me! Question, the raised part on the front the thigh. Is is a certain width for Level 1? This kit is a bit small in my opinion, and I feel like I'm having to leave a lot of the extra plastic on it to fit around my thighs. Here is a picture of the right one. I also have the shins, forearms and biceps done, minus cover strips.

I know there is a vendor on Etsy that sold them, called Spatcave. https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1430704966/imperial-army-trooper-web-harness Listing says sold out, but might be worth a go message him?

Pictures or it didnt happen! 🤣 Kidding…but not really…would love to see the progress!!!

Long time since an update! 1. Bandolier has been printed, and I will be going with Rustoleum Gloss Apple Red indeed for the red bits (thanks to @Ammonites and for models for weathering. This paint is a great match to the best red strapping I've been able to find) 2. DLT-20a has been printed, needs sanding and painting; also printed a DLT-19x for use with the modular Shadow Scout. These have been put together so they are collapsible and transportable by removing the barrels from main receivers (hardwood dowel inserts). 19x to have scope removable and barrel switchable, in case I ever need a DLT-19, per great suggestions on PF. 3. Strapping mostly done for the armour (changed my mind, going with gloss black rather than matte) 4. Soft parts largely done, tutorials followed; codpiece has the shaped plastic "jock" ("anti-cameltoe"); boxes printed to neatly fill out cummerbund pouches; suit adjusted for leg size and length; black pig suede acquired and in progress for the butt flap and saddle (and leg elastic) 5. Boots follow tutorials and are pretty much done as of today (doubled up on vinyl and they stand well alone); holdout blaster printed; holster needs attaching with backing 6. Belt boxes are strapped but TD needs doing; still looking for the right gauge wire. Recommended clips acquired 7. Wampa gloves are in the mail, didn't want to attempt to make those 8. Helmet is finally aligned together well (was painful) and needs Bondo (been slacking on this). Helmet inserts acquired, and headset/speaker for comms. Haven't thought about bucket fans yet, but glad my glasses fit inside! Where's the best place to get a red lens? (Trooper Bay?)

I modeled and posted the Del Meeko compad on Thingiverse a while back when I was building my costume. It's compliant to the size requirement. Search "Del Meeko" and it'll pop up.

Looking good Dan, I made some constructive comments which will help with some "fitment" issues. Your GML may not mention anything about them, but they will help with the overall aesthetics of your costume. Let me know if you have any questions. Suit up Look.pdf

Here is my template. The numbers are measurements in cm

Veryyyyy good. If we think they are incorporated as one single piece in the reference images we could make that a L2 detail. Some small edits for it: Bicep Armor 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. Biceps may be slightly weathered but must be uniform with the rest of the costume. One on each shoulder and are not interchangeable. Each bicep is a mirror image of the other. Is overlapped by the shoulder bell and may be incorporated with the shoulder bell as one single piece. The bicep has an overall square appearance with the rear panel flaring out slightly the last 1/3rd to 1/4th of the length at the top. There are two raised panel details on the inside and outside of the bicep. Both have a horizontal rectangle cut out positioned in the upper 1/3rd length of the panel and a square cut out positioned in the bottom half. The upper rear corner of each panel is angled to mimic the bicep rear panel flare. (See CRL Photo for reference). The forward lower corner of each panel is angled rearward. (See CRL Photo for reference). Panels are painted metallic black, matte black, or dark gray. The outer raised panel is raised out more than the inside panel. There is a raised panel on the front side of the bicep which is flared thicker at the top half. There is a vertical rectangular cutout in the center of the panel. There is a vertical rectangular insert with a beveled lower end in the center of the cutout. The top of the insert extends underneath the shoulder bell. There is a recessed grove approximately 1/2 inch (12.7mm) wide around the lower edges of the bicep. This recess is offset slightly upward from the lower edges.

Thanks. Our GML approved my Security Trooper too, but our GWL hasn’t updated my profile yet.

I know we discussed the biceps with the shoulder bell armor, but they are two sperate pieces ergo why I said in the shoulder and in now in the bicep that they can be one piece, but we need to define them both separately just in case someone builds them separated: Revision 0 Bicep Armor Gloss black in color unless noted below. May be painted IAW the Color Scheme Guide. If used, all armor pieces must be painted using the Color Scheme Guide. One on each shoulder and are not interchangeable. Each bicep is a mirror image of the other. Is overlapped by the shoulder bell. May be incorporated with the shoulder bell as one single piece. The bicep has an overall square appearance with the rear panel flaring out slightly the last 1/3rd to 1/4th at the top. There are two raised panel details on the inside and outside of the bicep. Both have a horizontal rectangle cut out positioned in the upper 1/3rd of the panel and a square cut out positioned in the bottom half. The upper rear corner of each panel is angled to mimic the bicep rear panel flare. See CRL Photo. The forward lower corner of each panel is angled rearward. See CRL Photo. Panels are painted metallic black, matte black, or dark gray. The outer raised panel is raised out more than the inside panel. There is a raised panel on the front side of the bicep which is flared thicker at the top half. There is a vertical rectangular cutout in the center of the panel. There is a vertical rectangular insert with a beveled lower end in the center of the cutout. The top of the insert extends underneath the shoulder bell. There is a recessed grove approximately 10mm wide around the lower edges of the bicep. This recess is offset slightly upward from the lower edges. Biceps may be slightly weathered but must be uniform with the rest of the costume.

As a print that looks perfectly good to me for all clearance levels.

ok so i ran the file in extra draft mode with a .6 nozzle on my E3 using cheap pla at fairly high speed. here are the reference bits: our CRL gallery reference , likley using Hyperspace Props offereing : and my result printed at 100% Ill run it at home on my Bambu in black and see how it looks that way. Im sure it will look better. I would love feedback on this.

try this STL and see what you think I believe it is close enough to pass but I am not the one who has final say on these things. that being said it is a place to start and maybe some one who is better at building files can fix any flaws I have. delbuckle.stl

Yea this looks good. I would say the curve here of the thrusters is much less. Id add that I think if you didnt want them to face straight out you could angle them down a tad so long as no more curve is added to the pipe itself if that makes sense

Hi Guys, Got some time to fire up the printer last week so here are some fresh prints (not sanded or painted) with no text on the upper panel, no Seam showing and the thrusters pointing straight out. I still like the functional look of the curve to the thrusters but let me know what you guys think of this version ? Thanks, Steve

This is a composite ribbed fabric with a thickness of 5mm. I added Velcro to it and it perfectly blends with the leg armor.

Pic lost blaster so far , not my sofa lol still to be added , weathering ,sling and sling loops

very cool paint! cant wait to see this come together.

here is a topic that should help with that. Clear your boots with your GML. That will be up to the GML for basic, but for L2 which I highly suggest, only 8" tall boots will be approved. For the holster you can do green nylon or black leather or painted green leather. Mine is painted green leather. You do not see the holstr too much but I do see one on the left. Again, that will be a GML call for basic approval. for L1 that is up to your GML. I would suggest one color since that is how the art is presented and what I wll expect for L2 approval. All of our L2 approvals are sprayed the same color. Just as Stormtroopers and their gear is white, our gear is issued to us green, as are the Andor and Ferrix IATS that are otherwise uniform in color with the exception of the belt parts. What we do not want to see is a group of IATS and eveyrone looks different. That should never be the case especially in the situation where a unit draws from a sole source supplier. All my gear with the exception of the coverall is sprayed Montana Gold Olive Green.

I added the darker green, brown, and dyed most of the components. The armor just needs some black detail, a black wash, and to reapply the decals. The dye didn't really take to some items so I'm planning to pick up some new webbing/etc. Happy holidays!

Check ogleprops.com, their visors are L2 compliant

The dark green welding shields would be the correct colour. If you are looking for level 2 approval, you need to have a bubble lens. Not a lot of options for it except OPLEprops I think. This is the shield I used for my stormtrooper green lens. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B00209I0UG?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Welcome to Spec Ops Erick

Es dauert nicht mehr lange, dann sind die 100 Abschlüsse erreicht. 😉

that is very exciting that all the files have been given the green light. i will start printing them today to move on to next stage of it all

Thanks for the explanation, @Chaos! At the end we may want to make sure our text doesn't overlap/duplicate between that other text we had, but that can be done at the end. Your text is good for the Shoulder Bell Armor with some small changes: Shoulder Bell/Bicep Armor 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. Proportional to the rest of the costume. The shoulder bells may be slightly weathered but must be uniform with the rest of the costume. One on each shoulder and are not interchangeable. Each shoulder bell is a mirror image of the other. Overlaps the bicep armor or may be incorporated with the bicep as one single piece. There is a notch for the bicep armor greeblie in the front lower edge. There is a raised beveled circular detail on the outside of the shoulder bell. (See CRL Photo for reference) Inside the detail is a raised circle ring which has a flat disc painted metallic black or silver. There is a raised cylinder in the middle of the disc painted metallic black or silver. There is a vertical recess approximately 0.75" (19.05mm) wide along the inside edges of the front and rear faces. This band is offset slightly inward from the inside edge.

@Aesmodan Regarding the tank topper…Kev converted a shadow scout to the weir build, so his tank topper is in the CRL pic (CRL models do not necessarily need to portray the Specialist build…we prefer it but it isnt always possible) as it was already installed for his shadow scout. We allow the topper for Level 1 as there may be (have been) others making the same conversion. However, it isnt present in the comic panels and so it is a Specialist requirement to leave it off. Elastic on the knees dont necessarily need to be riveted in for basic approval. For Level 2, the wording says they should be…not the illusion of being riveted. Think that covers everything you asked about so far.

i had printed a bunch of those zip tie holders for my own scout project, so this affirms what I was planning. Smart idea!

Got more appropriate curly cable for the power 5. Got it secured at the din plug end but having really difficulty finding where the other end fits on this one.

Well, I just got word that I am APPROVED! I am making the small adjustments that @Chaossuggested regarding the posterior armor, belt and abdomen this weekend. I've already added the 2nd straps in the back of the thighs and they fit MUCH better now. Wow, what a journey it's been! Thank you all for the help over the past year! Now to request full SpecOps access!

That's peculiar. It's the same files I used to resin print mine and it turned out correct scale. I just opened the base part in Creo and it set the units to MM (I think that's a Creo default for STLs) but the part measured 2.5mmx2mm. I could just convert the units to inch and it's correct. I'll take a look tonight if I have time to see if I saved the Fusion files and can re-export with different units to see which one works for you.

Updated the links to these files Loop: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/pmqcd5ju86xwt5hf7fq5q/2-Deathtrooper-Voice-Lines-with-segments-Loop-track.mp3?rlkey=held2gs9g67jblxghyss1ip8a&st=gjbmj0rt&dl=0 Play/Pause: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/f6dfcccx81mmo2aelraov/1-Updated-Deathtrooper-Voice-Lines-Play-Pause-track.mp3?rlkey=jugv272t3wax10ld22wdz7bw7&st=uu4ecm82&dl=0

Yes, as long as the cut edges butt up against each other so there is no gap.

Nice!!!

Thank you for the visor suggestions I’ll be able to order mine tomorrow on payday

Thank you @IcyTrooper The glove maker is making me some better white ones. As soon as I get them I'll make a complete fitting test ^^
