Thanks to all involved developing this crl!

Excellent, good to have the clarity on the name. We'll need to put together some decent screen grabs to prove it, but it would largely appear to be an unarmoured Imperial Security Trooper wearing the white ISB tactical armour. Similarly we see an ISB officer being given some of the same armour (the torso armour) to wear over their ISB tunic. I would therefore be surprised if the placement didn't follow those of the pre-existing underlying costumes. Specifically the ISB Tactical Agent to SpecOps to join the underlying Imperial Security Trooper costume; and the Armoured ISB Officer to IOC to join the ISB uniforms (eg. Dedra). The same logic was used with the Star Wars Rebels armoured ISB officers such as Kallus, who wore their armour over their officers' tunics and were subsequently placed with IOC. If this is how it plays out, the only minor complication would be that the torso armour needs to be consistent across the two costumes. I'm sure however that we'll have no trouble coordinating that if that is the direction that the LMOs decide on.

Going to chip in, for those that don’t know me I’m Will 10 year legion member and a film and TV costume assistant, I was the costumer in charge of most things uniform on season 1 and 2 of Andor, most of the hard work has been done by the crl team and other contributors like my friend Fraiser etc, but if there are any other outlying things I’m happy to see if I can be of any help. there’s actually a few more than the door guard that had E-11’s, a few of the patrolling troopers outside the base and I believe most of the troopers that escort Sgt Kimzi into the vault when they catch the heist in progress (including Kimzi) I may as well get ahead of the curve as I’ve already seen people discussing it elsewhere, the mina-rau soldiers are the exact same uniforms form Aldhani, people are speculating they’re a new browner version however it’s just the colour grading, though I understand discussions still need to be had as obvious going off “screen accuracy” they look different even if they were the same uniforms from before. some of them have the new addition of the goggles which are the helmet goggles that have been reduced in size.

Note to start, using this as the start of the build thread, got contact going with Walt's Trooper Factory to figure out the source for the armor/helmet. No pictures yet, will update with such once I get started.

These are today's vacuum work.

The digital repair of the chest and back armor has been completed.

This is a vacuum test for the thighs and buttocks. I think it looks pretty good.

The CRL has been officially submitted to the LMOs for final review with the text and images in the wiki.

NOTE: This costume has NOT been placed by Legion Membership Officer (LMOs) at this point. It is not guaranteed to be placed within the Special Operations detachment. Use this thread for the ISB Tactical Agent (Andor S2). Now, that I got that out of the way the trooper type/name is confirmed from the official Star Wars Databank under Sergeant Benzi and Sergeant Gharial:

the files are now done, i have started printing them. I am still waiting on soft parts from the seamstress extrordinaire

Worked pretty hard on the Imperial Army Trooper armor today because it was so nice out. Lots of sanding, filling, and painting. This is for my friend Nathan Gamer. Everything 3d printed in ABS and TPU for straps, respiratory mask, and goggle padding.

Hello, in order to have the shields and baton holster included in the CRL, I would like to open a conversation to achieve it. After watching the episode several times, mainly to obtain the appropriate screenshots, there are a couple of things that stand out to me, as I am sure to many of you. The first of all is that they received advice regarding the use of the different items and how the stunts had to act as riot police. What's more, due to the high "physical" and action content of the episode,even though they are acting, the shields received a harsh treatment and they probably also had received advice regarding the materials and props necessary to give credibility to the scene. In order to have a professional point of view regarding this matter, I have requested opinions from professionals in the police field, and they agree that due to positioning, use of containment tactics, withdrawal and arrest, the stunts have been minimally trained. Regarding as it seems to be ,the material used, both, the holster of the extendable baton and the large shields, maybe it is material for police use, minimally modified to give a "star wars" appearance, as usual ,or custom made meeting the approximate specifications and standards of this kind of pólice material. I have received information about measurements, shapes and materials from various sources... and also carried out searches , what is more I was lucky enought to carry some. https://www.nidec.es/es/escudos-antidisturbios Regarding the baton holster, it is a small item with very little visual impact on the screen so it shouldn't have been very complicated to go for something simple. Several of the riot police who I´d shared the screenshots agreed that it was probably a simple glove holder. Sample: https://www.desenfunda.com/porta-guante-giratorio-en-cuero-parabellum-95165-pa-95165-209699.html?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiApsm7BhBZEiwAvIu2Xy2Ka5lGoW-2lLydRs9xaMAEuJcVEEY3-O7PXiZlhUItskAKjFS7YhoCWIoQAvD_BwE&utm_source=adtraction&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=adtraction&at_gd=90C7B9B01E546FEAAEDFD926DACA08011DCA9775 To me it seems like that, is very common and easy to obtain police equipment ,or maybe custom made as I said. There are very few clear shots of this item since it is a black item on a black background...in motion...in fact the closest and clearest one we have is during the confrontation , of one belt falling.... SCREENSHOTS: The shield is more complicated , they are objects of great visual impact, close-up filming and surely in the storyboard they were well represented, also on a practical level it is an action scene and should withstand harsh filming conditions. SEE HOW IT BENDS An item with these characteristics must be based on a real model or a real one. I would consider various options: A/Produce the item from scratch in the prop department , or request it to be manufactured and give it the final finish in the studio. B/Buy items with similar characteristics to those needed and modify them until their final form , ¿Second-hand police equipment?. C/Search the studio's wardrobe and props collection for the items they need and modify them ,a fairly common thing. As I have already indicated, after watching the episode several times, I highly doubt that they are resin cast (a common in shields), they receive an amount of "damage" that brings them closer to modified real shields or shields built from scratch but with the same materials than a real one ,in short, we are talking about plastics. After having reached the final design, they can easily have ordered the necessary sheets from any company that works with polycarbonate, with the shape cut, folded, and the geometric pattern already milled or engraved. Doing the finish painting and putting the handles in the studio's prop workshop , regarding whether this can be done. I have also been talking about it with an advertising printing production technician , and he let me know that any large format printing press company dedicated to advertising , usually has the necessary machines for die cutting, bending and machining, methacrylates, ABS, forex, polycarbonate, etc... .. https://www.brettmartin.com/images/default-source/plastic-sheets/industry-case-study-images/application-spotlight-images/fabrication-spotlight-1-police-riot-shield-600x350536b1923-1dd9-4445-9b6d-885aaeced6c2.jpg?sfvrsn=61fcc077_15 https://www.brettmartin.com/ Obviously it's my opinion and I'm opening this thread to get more points of view, it would be great to have first hand information from someone who was on set. there are 16 large shields and 4 small shields. The width of the front part seems to be the same measurement, however on the large shield the "wings" seem larger and with fewer degrees. The height of the small shield seems to be the size of the large one WITHOUT the "window", in such a way that the geometric shape could use the same template for both, adding the small "wiew slot". Using chatgpt ,with the measuraments of the my buckle as a reference of a real item and superimposing a layer on the most complete photographs and then leaving only that layer: SCREENSHOTS: On the back there are not many screenshots available, but there are enough of the support elements that must be assumed common for the two shields and it is clearly seen that apart from the handles, the foam/forex, are painted in black. the handles on the left look like a kayak ones: https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Kayaks-correas-moldeadas-extremo-paquete/dp/B009DF8PIC/ref=sr_1_4?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.ivbQnwpozrpCiX3bxGAUn0wgZhqjR4H_M-x6sGJMUiVqRSo2GZDHX0xF_i6fSJmKpepCtL4xZ-WLMyQDFSTrPcDVF9_1e2XMdSST5nvEzfznmLIf29eAJR1P3efXh_jPah9Qg8Sme4I_TPbzR5YlcXRrGvU3k-HkIAghdAvmYkEPImuqXJ8qYxjk3ZnBi0BlOzMBT52gdbbY3yN-q7cSOfpPu-rmqA0ZGMvvPUyNJxEBoxtQCDb0xI4Xs4asELSP26DypOUCzQxQ6InxVcmYkFtN_-QgBKA4jN8AFfB12d93IWMRdOJ9xsQgqI7fAsXetMiebpXfcce1skwmec4NBTXoz60J6CadTskQZzCv1uFijx6NOAFWonHen8V-xPt1G0woIbWQMR7LJw0mSPnerXuASiGdv-E1w0_8RdEyNzCrBg8dpRcBVrjkF9IoeXLn.q3yknZ7_RJ51Pkv74CypE2oe4UyrNyPEK4TDk3KRx_Y&dib_tag=se&keywords=kayak+handles&qid=1737135103&sr=8-4 The handles on the right look something like this : https://www.amazon.com/-/es/tiradores-cuadrados-plástico-gabinete-equipaje/dp/B07YCGWBBM/ref=sr_1_8?__mk_es_US=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=18TZLCQZITBKI&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.J59q79WhD6nDUH7LKN6CJ549WYEBc8zn0N6e3POaGcizcZTvXsCKAVIJiakJdMwtrZFjHyAiVICToRIjon972qukfr1tNz2G3Q1ff11GJRrgaExsafiyT-0Cvzp-M7R8CVBgxh9LVjK6VRlkmmZB-M7hLGYWAZAhfOF8tuOuoJkk6RYFY_p4lvOUaVZ-Clc2DncE9b17YymM6hcq4_nEhR_iOKJDbIrWsFmOs752a9RglTNzzpLYRLFTqa3VReisCUQrbUXYGC_9PvA1Wn4NSqPfT4ENMdtgi1QYiQWm0xnrv2Pji4Dtch9kKuuP_fmfVqjt-p5pSrqArtroodHXiKDahpgiWCy4VqBVJcT3BEGXBc6Y_uvoa-nFhVXR7fp7ciUMPvCJ-ogbXt2GtZqRZc6b4dZTHJ7rRpNKoNY66qEEPTz2eDwVKm2n0BAtQYzX.arjk57vTrwMOmFVQSro4ycKmQAmzlBtXyx7MZWxP4WM&dib_tag=se&keywords=plastic+black+handles&qid=1737135532&sprefix=plastic+black+handles%2Caps%2C165&sr=8-8 SCREENSHOTS: EDGES AND MAYBE LAYERS? In my opinion they are two constructions of 2 millimeter polycarbonate or something similar, composed of two layers. One of the layers (the one on the back) with the high-density foam/forex supports, with the handles attached ,another layer (the one on the front) with the engraving, the two layers attached with glue and painted black. In the case of the large shield and since it is the first line, everything is also joined together by the 4 screws that can be seen. I await your ideas and/or opinions. As soon as we agree on some measurements and some details, I can make them.I have embedded the photos in the forum to the best of my ability/knowledge.Sorry for my use of English, I hope all the text is understandable, I'm a little rusty. If the moderators consider it appropriate to move this post to another thread, let them do so. Likewise, I can provide moderators access to a folder with the screenshots in case they consider it appropriate to upload them to the thread. Greetings.

just wanted to give an update, i am just awaiting the soft parts to be finished so i can get started on building the kit. i am still 100% committed to the build, just unfortunately, i suck at sewing, so have to rely on the talents of others

Boots done! What do you guys think? Action pose:

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

Since my approval years ago I see that the CRL changed and update the TU for the helmet. I searched around and found the WTF was able to provide one for me...but it's awful. The quality of the resin case was very bad and the scale seemed off compared to the CRL photos.... So I've modeled my own for 3d printing and I'm giving the files away. If you spot any glaring inaccuracies, I'm willing to try to fix it or share the fusion source. Merry Christmas! nocjef TX66667 IATCommUnit.3mf

With great satisfaction I inform you that my Mudtrooper has been approved by my Garrison! Thanks to everyone for the support!!! I made this costume trying to meet all the requirements to be a "Specialist", I hope I will succeed. In a few days I will forward the request in the appropriate section of the forum...

Well... I think this journey is pretty much over 🥲 Thank you so much for your support ❤️ Today I sent the photos to my Garrison GMLs for approval. Here are some oh them showing the full costume and weathering. I hope it will be approved as is, otherwise I will make the changes they ask me...

This is awesome. Thanks everyone for the work in getting this to the finish line.

We received the new images last night and are editing them. LMOs are standing by for our upload. Very close everyone.

Thanks for all the great job. Can't wait to see all this photos at you wip BigJasoni

Good news, the LMOs have approved this as a NTTL costume for placement with us, we can continue the CRL development and costume refinements!

Hello all Whiel teresa is workign on pans, i did a few more modifacations to the chest, belt, and gauntlets. How we looking?

I'm back! Lately I've had a lot to do and little time to dedicate to the Muddie, also a lot of the work was gathering informations, taking measurements, strengthening some pieces, adding snaps. In short, little that could be photographed. But I finally got to painting! On the inside of all the pieces I applied a dense primer in order to seal the fiberglass (one of those products that take forever to dry 😨). On the external side I applied two layers of a gray universal primer: Note that the upper belt is missing because the one I received from Philoprops is already painted and with partial weathering. As a second phase I applied two layers of matt black paint: In a few days I will apply the texture on the helmet, and then proceed with painting all the pieces with Pantone 350U green. In the meantime I decided to take care of the respirator. Here are the parts I will use: - Straps, two-piece buckles and 4mm hex socket cap screws provided by a friend of mine from the 501st Italica Garrison, who became a Mudtrooper before me - other buckles taken from the famous Yugoslavian backpack (they have rusted a little, and I would say this is a very good thing 🥰) - Isopon Aluminum mesh to put in the filters and in front of the mouth - disks that I cut out of a forex panel to close the filters internally. In the next post I think I will be able to show the respirator almost finished and ready for weathering!

As far as 3d print files Christhepropguy has the most accurate files. His kenobi clone trooper is very accurate witch is the same armor. If you buy those files and message chris he will give you the purge trooper specific parts aswell. Definitely get the helmet from kenyon. He is the only one who has a totally accurate helmet.

Hey all. Ive been reading back. And have a whack of pics myself. as I’m sewing these funky pants, I have some concerns on text to construction. As well as any concessions on seaming on the rear end. seams- double lapped. With only single seam. There are no center inner or outer leg seams. Only those on the inner panel portion of both front and back. . And circumference around top of knee. Nothing runs down the center outer leg. Nor center inner leg. The little butt panel, I need to discuss this with those judges allowing the construction. Pics I see have no crotch seam or one boing up the rear end. That’s a bit problematic especially if you’d like a nice sleek bum looking fit… ha! I messaged both Daniel and Ryan for a real time phone conversation regarding this color- pale grey for Saxon. White or winter white for the grunts. fabric- some form of mid to heavy weight cotton/spandex/lycra blend. Stretch cotton twill. Heavy weight stretch suiting. I've made 4 pairs of pants thus far and cannot create a nice looking arse with no seam under crotch. I await messages from those in charge of this CRL. Thank you!!!!

I agree the base of the underlying uniform should dictate which detachment it goes to. I will be doing both of the ISB Tactical and the Armored ISB officer so I am open to being the guinea pig lol

I got some work done at an armor party yesterday, here are some updates! Boots still need a major overhaul but everything else is getting a nice, subtle wash of light green after many passes. I think I'll do another round of green wash and then try a suit-up to check in on how it's looking all together. Thanks for the support guys!

Excited to be part of the Detachmwnt. Imperial Army Trooper. Andor

Luke I just pulled everthing into the slicer and it looks great. THANK YOU so much for giving our next generation of Sunbers the ability to get the parts they need to get approved. Here's what I come up with, scaling is great and the pin on the comm/ holder will keep it in place.

as a general reminder there is a Legion moritorium on both new costumes as well as CRL amendments following a new show. This is currently in effect and we will not start development of S2 ofAndor troopers until after the moritorium period is lifted. The CRLs are being transitioned to a new format. we also need to wait for this ot happen and wait our turn.

@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.

As an update, the JB worked great, matches the black closely too! Thank you for the recommendations.

Some more photos.

All opinions welcome. This is my first kit build. And am sharing along the way. Thank you all for who you are and what you do. Long Live the Empire. Hard parts “Jim Tripon” Undersuit “Jim Tripon” Gloves “Endor Finders” Belt Buckle and Wrist Rockets “Phoenix Props” Belt Pouches “TrooperBay” E11D Finished “sourced Through Spec Ops Member” Se14R “sourced Through Spec Ops Member” And much much more TBD.

some work before the freeze sets in. I got my pipes set and sanded the hell out of this print and welded the parts of the forward scope assmbly together. Its at the final putty round now, heavy application to make it "rounder". February Update:

The arm mold has been completed and is currently being produced.

The cutting has finally begun. Only had time for some basic trimming.

Hello @Sparrow_69676! I appreciate you letting us know! Let me look into it quickly and get back to you 🙂 Just to clarify, can you elaborate on what specifically isn't showing up for you? I assume you're referencing the actual forum where you need to post your access request yes?

Next up: Revision 0 Back 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. Is in proportion to the rest of the costume. Overlaps the abdominal plate. Extends over shoulders to meet chest plate. The chest and back plate meet flush at the sides. The arm area of the back plate has a raised tapered ring that joins with a matching detail on the front plate. The collar extends upward and tapers to the chest plate. The back plate has two large cut out recesses with vent details and greeblies inside. The vent details above the greeblies are cut out and backed with black material. Each recess has a different and specific set of greeblies inside: Left side recess: A rectangle shape greeblie with an angled right side end with 5 panels. On the right side a heat sink greeblie is fitted. Right side recess: Along the top is a long thin strip with flat ends with approximately 30 cylinder shaped teeth in the middle. Along the bottom is a long thin strip that has angled ends with approximately 28 cylinder shaped teeth in the middle. Below it on the left is a rectangle shape greeblie. Approximately 1/8th of the left side is flat followed by a thin line recess and 7x3 rows of oblong-shaped indents. On the right side is a raised circular ring type hose connector. Below that, along the bottom is a long thin strip that has angled ends with approximately 28 cylinder shaped teeth in the middle. There is an oblong greeblie centered below the 2 large recesses. There is a small, raised circle greeblie centered below the oblong greeblie. Bottom left has a rectangle cut out with the left side stepped. The recesses may be matte or metallic black. There are solid pauldron type shoulder plates that sit on top of each of the shoulders and extend slightly past the shoulder/bicep armor and are attached to a single point on the chest and the back armor. Shoulder plates may be stationary or pivot with shoulder movement. The attachment greeblie is present twice on each shoulder armor (front and back) and is circular in shape with a bracket shaped extension that faces outwards away from the helmet. The bracket shaped extension has four equally spaced raised edges. Within the circular greeblie there is a centered raised circle that is smaller than the circular greeblie it sits on. The back armor may be slightly weathered but must be uniform with the rest of the costume.

Unfortunately, proportions are a thing that we have to notate and only can really drive direct lengths to L2 (Specialist) details. It'll be up to the GMLs if the details and proportions are adequate to not only the CRL text but also the photos that are on the CRL. We can only do the best that we can and cannot limit the costume to certain heights.

Updated pics are coming ASAP.

Well...it's been a minute! I haven't forgotten about you Spec Ops or my Death Trooper build. Just was focused on getting stuff done for DragonCon and now that it is done, here's an update of what's happened since last time. So back in May, I was painting the helmet parts to get the gloss black look. After still getting the orange peel look, my garrison had an armor party in June. I brought my kit and talked to more experienced troopers and they told me straight up to ditch the Rustoleum and either use Duplicolor (which I now have), or Montana Gold. I also have acquired the 2K clear coat. When I wet-sanded it and applied the Duplicolor and 2K, I got myself a spray tent and fan and had a very cool/low humidity day to try my hand at it. There was noticeable improvement, but I didn't give the 2K enough time between coats (only 5 min. as opposed to 15 min.) Since we are in the high 60s/low 70s now in Chicago, I'm going to take another attempt at painting the helmet and other parts before winter. But today was another big step. I met up with my GML and brought everything over for a proper test fit and to get the strapping down. I had already connected the shoulders to the biceps and did the cording for those, so we set the snaps in place for the shoulders to the back plate near the neck. I also practiced walking with my Crowprops shoes, shins and thighs. I can move pretty comfortably in everything. My next bit of homework is attaching the snaps for the kidney armor to the back armor. We think where we held it in place with duct tape for now is a good spot. If consensus agrees, i'll add the snaps for it it. Then the butt armor will be added next,as we were referencing the Jolly Rogers 1942 Build guide, and attach it to the cod piece. Then the belt afterwards. Overall, I asked my GML what he thought, and encouragingly, he said, "You're close to being done." That was such a morale boost. Any feedback is welcome!

Hi Michael, That sort of question is usually best answered by your local Garrison or Squad. In my own Garrison, I believe the ruling would usually be that if we are attending an official Disney/LFL troop then we are restricted to the props in the character's CRL. However in all other troops (the vast majority), there is no issue at all bringing other suitable props. It is however up to your own local staff to decide.

Everything should be done! Unfortunately I caught something and I'm sick at the moment but, all that's left to do is comb over the CRL again and suit up to take pictures for my application! That's for a later date though when I can breathe normally and can tolerate wearing my bucket...😅

Guys thanks for the support! ❤️ After the gray primer and the matt black, I moved on to paint all the pieces with the official colors: two-three layers with Pantone 350U, then a thin and non-uniform layer of Pantone 433U. That is except for the right bicep, which I painted Toyota Red 3E5 and Montana Yellow Cab. For this piece I made sure the paint is chipped in a few spots. As I mentioned previously, I also added a texture to the helmet: And finally I got to the assembly of the respirator with all the required pieces! I still need to adjust the straps based on how it will fit on the chest. As regards the connection of the rubber tubes I tried to come up with a non-permanent solution that would also allow them to be attached and detached quickly. I think that's a solution adopted by the Tie Pilots, too. I shortened the 3D printed hoses and attached two magnets to the base. Then I stuck them in the end of the tubes and glued two more magnets inside the respirator: This way the pipes can be put into position by simply placing them down. I will most likely have to add more magnets inside the respirator (I think I will make two stacks of three magnets) in order to get a strong enough attachment. I will be on holiday for about ten days, on my return I will finish the goggles (indeed a scary work!), the TU and the lower belt, which I have already started working on.

Jetpack looks perfect, great work! For the shins, it looks more like there is a separate knee pad, rather than it being a part of the shin armour: It's also worth noting the shape of the knee armour, and that the cut out at the top of the shin armour is more of a semi circular shape than the angled version you have in the first draft there. Keep up the great work, you're nearly there 👍

If you'd like to include this in the Special Notes section I suppose you could may be slightly weathered to look as if white is showing through with minor scuffs/dirt. I think that still let's white be 100% optional and not restrict what the base absolutely has to be...that's why I lean towards a similar verbiage to the Kashyyyk Trooper CRL which doesn't specify any base and basically says "match the pic" (which just means the CRL model will need to be on point to what the camo look should be.

Mask is coming along nicely now that the printer is dialed in. Going to finish the full helmet and assemble before any finishing to check fit and other details to make sure everything is good first. Print, print, print.
