My guess would be this would end up w/ FISD… @IcyTrooper knows the current process much better than I these days though about how to present a new CRL, getting placement, etc.

@Aesmodan Regarding the tank topper…Kev converted a shadow scout to the weir build, so his tank topper is in the CRL pic (CRL models do not necessarily need to portray the Specialist build…we prefer it but it isnt always possible) as it was already installed for his shadow scout. We allow the topper for Level 1 as there may be (have been) others making the same conversion. However, it isnt present in the comic panels and so it is a Specialist requirement to leave it off. Elastic on the knees dont necessarily need to be riveted in for basic approval. For Level 2, the wording says they should be…not the illusion of being riveted. Think that covers everything you asked about so far.

I dug through my old texts with kev and it looks like he just used velcro on the back plate there to attach the red straps at the bottom. I think thats what you were asking

Pictures or it didnt happen! 🤣 Kidding…but not really…would love to see the progress!!!

Nice! I only notice 2 things… - Base level req, third level. bulletpoint 2…looks like a repeat of Level 2 req. HOWEVER, I dont see evidence in the panels for those cutouts to be lit unless Im overlooking something. If not, would recommend removal of this at both Level 1 and Level 2 reqs. NOTE: @Threeve these cutouts look pretty thin in the panels and if they arent lit they might look better/more accurate where they arent as thick as you currently have em Just a thought - Base level req, fourth level, bulletpoint 2 looks like a repeat of Level 2 req. It exists in panels though, so I guess the question is keep this in Level 1 or Level 2 req?

Yea this looks good. I would say the curve here of the thrusters is much less. Id add that I think if you didnt want them to face straight out you could angle them down a tad so long as no more curve is added to the pipe itself if that makes sense

Been catching up on my comic reading and ran across these troopers. Black armor w/ red highlights and a breathing apparatus pack (Vader's Magma Troopers?). They are stationed on Mustafar at his personal fortress. They aren't named, and there are more panels with them...but figured I'd drop the panels here if any are interested.

The pack is an awesome addition. Issue #61 should be a good reference since they are still stranded on the same planet that they were on in 59/60…but either way I think it could be added using the earlier arc references as an optional piece of gear. For the purpose of a CRL and reference images we would need, just a few things I’d point out: -There is no evidence of aurebesh etching that I can see in any panels. -I dont see any blue-lit sections on the main pack body. -The thrusters dont appear curved in the panels. This one might be a lil nitpicky but figured Id mention it…they all seem to have a straight “tube” shape

Hey there. The scout base figure was a Black Series release (in a pack w the Shadowtrooper and a black speeder bike). The pauldron was not a part of that set nor the blasters pictured.

Welcome! To answer your questions: 1. Chefs kit would be just fine. 2. Satin or matte is fine (Special Notes section in the top portion of the CRL). 3. Great catch there. It might be enough to get it added to the CRL since blasters are optional accessories anyways. @IcyTrooper?

Thanks @IcyTrooper We can work here @TK-1979 Helmet Lenses must be sufficiently dark enough to obscure the costumer’s eyes. They are either flat or bubbled. Acceptable colors are black, smoke, or dark green. The “ear” bars have three or four bumps and are gray or painted gray, with a black outline. Painting the bumps with rank stripes (highlighted) in black is optional. The frown must have 7 teeth cut out and any coloring must not leave the indented area. Acceptable color is gray. Black mesh must be used to obscure the face of the wearer. The tube stripes are blue or black in color and may number between 9 and 15 per side with the curve bends extending backwards. These can be either hand painted or decals. Vocoder (vertically ribbed chin detail) is painted black. The aerators (cylinders on either side of the vocoder) are black, and screening can be either silver or black. The interior of the aerator can either be white, silver, or black. Traps (trapezoids on dome of helmet) and tears (area beneath the corners of eye lenses) can be hand painted or decals. Acceptable color is gray. Rear traps and tears have vertical black lines. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Lenses are bubbled and are dark green. On the ears there is the presence of 1 screw above the ear bars and no screw below the rank bar. The screw is painted white. Ear bars have 3 bumps only, not 4. A black rank stripe is painted on the rear most bump. There will be 13 black tube stripes per side with the curve bends extending backwards. These can either by hand painted or decals. ----------------------------------------------------------- Due to the hood, we never get a full look at the helmet. This shot is about the most exposed we see it: Considering it's a comic, I think it's safe to say it's a pretty standard TK bucket w/ the same level 2 reqs that we have on Kreel and Cav. My only question...since those ear bumps aren't ever exposed should those be included in L2 (or L1 for that matter) and would there then have to be some note in the cloak text that the hood fully covers those?

@IcyTrooper @Heavy Those look good to me for knees and neck seal. We put on boots that no holster is present so we can just remove the holster entry entirely I think. No adjustments to blasters right? If all that is good then @Gree23 that should mean everything is green and ready to be built. Let's goooooooo!!!

@Gree23 @Heavy to help out@IcyTrooper let’s wrap up this text this week if possible. We really only have a couple pieces left since there shouldnt be any adjustments to blasters. Cool? Once this football game ends, I’ll hop in and start adjusting text in first post.

Missed this one. Seems good. Anyone aee anything needing adjustment?

This looks good to me. The only thing I see is do you want to require that bottom rivet even? Shading on that makes it pretty much impossible to tell…so can go either way.
