nothing to see here move along

looks good

the only rivets on this costume are the ones to attach the ammo on the right thigh piece on the bottom. So just paint those red when you finish attaching them.

Reference Photos

Are there other ground variants or just one?

Please provide reference photos of this costume here.

There is a stronger case for this being mostly aligned with the alliance which it is the majority of its function. Unlike Triple 000 who has a clear cut role in the empire. However there is grey area with this droid: Canon: it was serving the alliance Non canon: it was programmed as serving the first order Legends: left by a smuggler in the alliances care and used as an espionage droid http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/R-3PO It doesn't hurt to try and if it does end up only as Rebel than it is what it is. I am wondering what it will end up being since the new toy debuted this year if there will be more addition to his story or if they leave him as is.

I havent forgotten about this but right now we are lacking legit references so I am hoping we get some. I can go ahead and put the base CRL in but for right now still not approvable until we get those legit references.

I think the SWCO panel has some great insight into the game as well as the costume in question. [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-f7FkuldLAA"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-f7FkuldLAA[/url]

After watching the SWC Panel I heard a lot of this special forces etc etc. Proficiency in both air and ground combat was mentioned and again special operatives. I do like how Spec Ops is described as most devote, have that hard core training/skills, and commitment to the Empire. Now I guess my question which i think they can only answer is why make it look like a tie if its supposed to be a special forces trooper? that by far makes it confusing and leads to a lot of ambiguity. So I do agree with David that there is a reason to go for it based on what the developers have said about this character and their functionality. But its bloody annoying the way it looks resembles too much tie in my opinion. Best of luck to any attempting this costume and hopefully things go way smoother than the bloody shoretroopers oye.

Hooray I start work in May so I shall have some money to buy the extra parts in June What boots did you end up using for your evo trooper? If they only come in white that wont be an issue to paint them I know the perfect place to buy the right type of paint for boots had to do it with MT boots

Keep in mind these thoughts are only based on the pics posted above as more information comes out to support I can make a better assessment. I personally view this as a tricked out Tie pilot Spec Ops and if that is the case it should go to JRS. That is just keeping it real its like with the clones they have special operations clones but they are clones and are in the CTD detachment. Looking at this costume and the majority of it is basically tie pilot items it would make more since to be in the JRS since that is their specialty. I think that is just being fair and realistic about it.I am all for spec ops and getting more and more costumes but especially after what happened with the shoretrooper thing I think in my opinion should hold back on trying to claim this one taking into consideration the costume details etc. If JRS goes for the claim(which i think they are) and the LMO says it goes to us at least it wouldnt be a fiasco like the shoretrooper incident. Thoughts?

Well after much thought and since i have finished my deathwatch. This project will be officially a go.I have no idea when I will finish it but I will be shooting for before 2019 Celebration I will try to update my progress as I go along.I kept thinking so many times how much i just wanted to do this costume. Deathwatch was costing me so much money at the time and plus i had no job security so i had to abandon this and now that things have changed I am happy to be doing a costume that I wanted to do in the first place.

Im organizing the photo so i will be there.We will also be doing a Dragon Slayer photo as well

Congrats btw !!!!! look forward to trooping with you.

so was this going to become a reality as far as creating a new crl for this costume? is anyone working on it? were there reference photos?
