I know you mentioned not doing battle damage, but I wanted to make a note on weathering and then I can speak to your initial request. Weathering is something that crops up every few years. There is no official approval on weathering right now. If someone wanted to push weathering through to match a specific source, it wouldn't outright be shot down, but they (and we) would need to work with the LMO on it and it should be expected that the weathering would need to match the source exactly. To date, no one has followed that through to the end and troopers have for one reason or another decided in the end to take the easier path to approval. On to your question, if not doing weathering, what specifically are you looking to match in this figure? Most of what I see is pretty spot on to the current CRL. The Silver lens, frown, vocoder combo is approvable. The pouches are not currently approval. The DLT is already an option for the Shadow Stormtrooper, so no problem there. Leave out the pouches and you are essentially creating a standard shadow stormtrooper that won't have any problems being approved.

On the gray, I would darken both the cod and the knees. They are almost white, at least in the pictures. For weathering, I am good with it as is. You could go the more sandy style which is a little more realistic looking, but this is definitely approvable. For consistency, it would be nice if the cummerbund had a little weather as well, but not the end of the world. One pouch doesn't look like it is closed correctly. It looks like it would close correctly but not sure if that was just misaligned after it was opened last or if pouch closure is off.

Question about the shadow trooper CRL
Darth Emphatic replied to Allan1313's topic in Shadow Stormtrooper
I can expand too. There isnt necessarily a 'more accurate' for the shadow stormtrooper. Its comic-based. We aim to be inclusive and we specifically stick to our base requirements as the standard for new members. There arent movie scenes to point at to find those particular one-offs. As a detachment, we look more at the intention. Specialist is there for those that want to pursue it. -

The knee gaskets were already in the CRL. I'll get the others edited and added in. -

Hey dan, thanks for posting those. It would be nice to get higher resolution shots of the elbow and shoulder gasket. The back is fine resolution wise, but it would be good to clean shot of the armor, maybe right after a wipe down. I'll these pics for now, but updated ones will just make the CRL all the better. Thanks! -

Eric, the CRL has been updated with the additional measurement text and the new chest image. I believe we are in the LMO teams court for approval on the CRL and final posting. Let me know. Thanks! -

Update the CRL draft on the 501st site with the approximate measurements. -

It tends to be one of those 6 one way, half a dozen of another situations. Not providing anything can end up in a wide variety of submissions. It will be listed as a guideline, not an absolute. -
I also wouldnt use e6000 for this. You want that sucker to be strong all the wat through.

Darth Emphatic replied to Chef's topic in First Order Elite Stormtrooper
Dan, can you also get me a measurement on the special forces markings. Preferrable, how thick each marking is at the bottom of the chest plate and how thick they are at the top (if not equal). Then the same type of measurement for the yoke piece. I want to include that in the CRL. Thanks! -

Dan, I can't properly trim out the photo because of the dark background of your case. Can you take a pic of the chest piece on a light background? Everything else looks good. -

Question about the shadow trooper CRL
Darth Emphatic replied to Allan1313's topic in Shadow Stormtrooper
Part of that is just where the crl's have been the last few years and how updates have worked. With the current system, it will be easier to implement something like that. -

Darth Emphatic replied to Chef's topic in First Order Elite Stormtrooper
I think it is workable. If you get another chance to take another one that will be great, but for now we can use this pic. -
Congrats Jose!

Also, is the bicep armor missing the adjoining greeblie in the most recent pic? -

Darth Emphatic replied to Chef's topic in First Order Elite Stormtrooper
Dan, I still need an updated picture of just the chest plate with thicker striping. I also need a new full armor shot with you wearing the update chest plate (one without a blaster). Thanks! -
