Yeah and plus takes some time to get through the process but rest assured this is being looked at for sure. I am very pleased with everyone who has been putting in effort to get this going and worked on. Im all about that shovel for the engineer

Yeah i know its been taking me so long but i finally getting it back on track. i have my lights right now im waiting for my inverter for my 12v. the string came with the AA but i feel it could be brighter than that so looking for some helmet pics soon

wow that is legit looking the level of detail you are doing is outstanding love it keep up the good work.

No worries and we have another guy working on this that is almost finished so we have a nearly approved CRL so yay glad to see you back on track hope you are feeling better

Congrats on your approval! When you get some time check out the neat programs we have here at Spec Ops! http://forum.specops501st.com/index.php?/forum/52-spec-ops-programs/

That is awesome looks exactly like the reference pictures looking good

The Force Unleashed:

Ive decided the 5.5" long and 2.5" wide will be the standard for the CRL and for the battlefront stormiei feel it is the most accurate depiction.

Looking good keep up the great work.

looking good

Quick update just bought materials to get the glowing lens for my helmet. So once those come in i will be experimenting with those and finally finishing up my helmet. Once that is complete I can start working on the 3-d printed parts TY has sent me. After that will be ordering the main armor for more work. I am still waiting to do that part once I get full time with work.

Thanks and good to see you again Mike

Congrats trooper! When you get a chance check out the cool programs we have for members http://forum.specops501st.com/index.php?/forum/52-spec-ops-programs/ Also we have a swag run going on so you are just in time \ http://forum.specops501st.com/index.php?/forum/51-spec-ops-detachment-runs/

Hi In theory you could use the same back piece however i would just fill in that indentation to make it look as if it is not there. I can see that easily being done now other thing to keep into consideration is do you want it permanently filled or not? So technically you could actually just with a small modification for Seyn. As for other things they have different belts and no pauldron for Seyn. Let us know if you have any more questions.

Yes tis be a happy thing Woot!

Looking very good trooper I am very glad you continued to preserver even though you had some problems working on your build. Your hard work is paying off and you are doing an excellent job keep it up.

Hi ya know in all honesty it was a bit of a challenge to figure this out since the reference of her is on the cover of the book and her back is turned. We decided to go with some general guidelines of the inferno squad basic outfit for her and i thought it made sense in t e pretext of her being with del, iden, and gideon. So since they was enough reference for them at least in my personal opinion it was easy to get a sense of yes she would probably be wearing this too. I understand where you are coming from with the references and how it was usually done but it seems since we had enough of the others and they all spanned the same thing we were able to come up with what we have for a CRL. Now your garrison shouldn't make the assumption that they can make any costume they want from a book and that would be extremely ill advised to take that position based on this specific instance. Hopefully that all makes some sense.

This is looking good keep up the good work

Ah ok i actually ended up not getting a chance to look at it yet got a bit busy. sounds like this one is going to be a no go. Ill still look but i trust your judgement i know you guys have been looking at these items with a fine tooth comb.

I will take a look and see once i am home from work. Maybe someone else will also offer their opinion as well.

Check the Captain Phasma book for more information.

Captain Cardinal appears in the book Phasm as part of the new Disney canon expanded universe. He is a crimson colored first order storm trooper who trains the young children until they are teenagers to be part of the first order army. He is actively trying to find a way to have captain phasma dismissed from her command as he is an immediate rival to her. Wookiepedia information Cardinal, also known as CD-0922 or Archex, was a human male stormtrooper who held the military rank of Captain in the First Order. His skills were spoken of with high regard even by Supreme Leader Snoke. At some point before the attack on Tuanul, Cardinal interrogated the Resistance spy Vi Moradi aboard the Resurgent-class Star Destroyer Absolution for information about the past of his rival, Captain Phasma.
