Very nice looking kit! Only things I see are the ab buttons need to be painted all black. Your right shoulder bell is turned towards the back too much, and when you're ready for your approval pics you'll need to remove that DT decal on the left shoulder bell. Hope that helps.

Nice work!

Also keep in mind the standard scout helmets won't pass either. There will need to be mods made. Holsters are required.

Congrats! Nothing like the feeling of getting the "big brown box"! Only thing that immediately stands out is that they painted part of the TD gray. You'll need to remove that paint, or paint it black. (just removing it will probably be easier) Keep the pics coming with updates! and any questions of course.

A blaster is not required for Legion approval. Only a holster. Your resin blaster will be fine to troop with.

Where's the little spy droid? and what's her bounty hunter name?

When looking at all of the current references http://forum.specops501st.com/index.php?/topic/30-storm-commando-reference-pics/ there appears to be some discrepancy there. Some have it, some don't...some.. can't tell. If you plan to try to do this costume the best bet would be to go with a version that has the clearest reference pics with both front and back detail. That doesn't guarantee the LMO's will approve it, but that will be one of the first things they look for. they'll also want all the given references at time of application to be as uniform as possible. Meaning...if you go with an armored leg version...don't show them one without it. hope that helps. as for building this. No one has done one to my knowledge and I'd love to see one! approved or not it would be a kick ass costume!

The FX bucket is currently Legion approved and Detachment approved. as for the mods, those will be according to your taste. the CRL's for the bucket are Mandatory Costume Components The costume components below must be present for approval: Helmet Shiney Black fiberglass, ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), or HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene). Helmet Details: Lenses must be sufficiently dark enough to obscure the costumer's eyes. They may be flat or Bubble. The black "ear" bars have three of four bumps Frown must have either 6 or 8 teeth cut out and any colouring must not leave indented area. Tube stripes may number between 9 and 15 per side with the curve bends extending backwards. There does not need to be the same number per side. Aerators (cylinders on either side of the vocoder) are black, and screening maybe silver or black. Tears, traps, and tube stripes may be: hand painted, decals, or decals that replicate hand painting, they may also be untouched and left as unmodified shiny black helmet material. Helmet Colour Combinations: Accepted helmet colour combinations are as follows: 1) Smoke/Black Lenses must have the following: Frown: Shiny Black Chin / Vocoder (vertically ribbed chin detail): Black (Shiny or matte) Tube stripes, Tears and Temples: Black (Shiny or matte) 2) Silver Lenses must have the following: Black OR Silver/Grey Frown - Black Frown: Chin must be Black - Silver/Grey Frown: Chin can be Silver/Grey or Black (Shiny or matte) Chin / Vocoder (vertically ribbed chin detail): Black (Shiny or matte), or Silver/Grey - dependent on frown colour. Tube stripes, Tears and Temples: Black (Shiny or matte) * - A Black Lense, Black Frown and Black Chin colour combination may be paired with Navy Blue Tube stripes, Tears and Temples - But this combination requires a Dark Navy Blue Under suit.

The problem with that is that the action figures can't be used as an official reference, only as a guide. Hasbro has license to make slight altercations to get the best fit mold they can and still make their toys moveable therefore they aren't allowed as a reference due to the slight mods they sometimes make. Although this drawing kinda looks like the reference they used.

I suggest cutting out the black "teeth" in the frown and putting mesh behind them. It looks better and allows for some air flow and better breath-ability. For the mesh or screen I recommend a roll of pet screen for screen doors. You can get a roll at home depot for about 6 bucks. I then suggest double layering it so people can't see through it. Here's a pic of my first bucket. If you PM me your address, I'll mail you some screen. I have plenty of it.

looks fine bro. Although, you might want to remove the mylar. Right now it is acceptable, but we're close to releasing the new CRL which states "(a.k.a. O2 canister) attaches to the back of the belt. This is an all black cylinder 2 to 2.5" in diameter with black end caps and a black control panel pad, with controls closest to the right end cap." so it may be unacceptable by the time you're ready to submit your approval pics. If it makes you feel any better...I currently have it on mine and need to remove it also....

Very nice work!

Be sure to keep track of your troops in the Imperial Dragons program and you can relive it anytime you want.

So first troop......What'd ya think!? Oh and Congrats!

Interesting. First I've heard of this. Your costumes all look to be professional quality upon first glance. Are any of your members also 501st?

Nice kit Tone! Are you a UKG member?

Awesome! Can't wait to see what the LMO's have to say about this.

Somebody has added quite a few pieces to that sideshow trooper there. Those weapons and jet pack are add ons. As far as the weathering, we'll be looking at that as an option probably after we get the VCRL's finished.

Yeah, gloss or flat black stripes are both fine.

Looks good bro. Took me a minute to figure out the blue was a reflection. Kind of hard to tell. Do you have tubes stripes on there?

Here's mine It's mostly resin and pvc. I built it myself and did all the painting. My barrel holes are just a hair off but all in all I'm pretty happy with it and it was only $35 since I attended his blaster workshop. I still need to add the cocking bolt too.

Where'd you get your resin bits? They look like they're from the same guy I got my E-11 from. He makes all his molds off a rebuilt Sterling just like yours.

Nice work!

There may be a TX who has a captured light saber from time to time, but the standard weapon for a Shadow Stormtrooper is the E-11and DLT-19

Ha Ha, That's cool. Will have to keep an eye out for this film.
