The pistol does not have any visible trigger, labels or logos. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Kenner toy blasters, modified Kenner toy blasters or resin recasts of Kenner toy blasters are not acceptable due to the fact they are approximately 10% larger in scale than an accurate style blaster.

If using the Hasbro E11 toy blaster, it is modified to have the correct number of T-tracks (6 total), with a lower row of open vent holes on the magazine housing side. This is accomplished by covering the pre-existing rows of holes with T-tracks, then grinding off the lower integrated T-track on the magazine housing side, and drilling a new row of holes in its place. DLT-19 Heavy Blaster Rifle Based on a real or replica MG-34 machine gun. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): A DLT-19 is an MG-34 with T-tracks on the barrel, ejection port cover added, and a small disk on left side.

Bump. Closing membership feedback on Thursday, 10/3 for publishing.

I started the direct-loaded reference picture thread. I had some issues getting some files over (incompatible file type?). Anyways...did most...not all. There might be more that need to be added @nanotek Feel free to pull more from this thread and add them. I did not add any video links. For that thread, we will stick to screen caps and pictures. Keep using this thread to post new ones from which we can pull and load direct.

Threads have been created to discuss each piece individually by @nanotek. I have been working through each area to compile pictures of all of our costumes into single threads. The Sith Trooper is on that list. There will be one thread w/ all reference pictures in it loaded directly into the forum (though @gmrhodes13 has been doing a great job collecting the photos and posting links so far here) If you have more pictures you'd like to add that he hasn't already, post them in his thread and I (or @nanotek) will grab them when ready to compile them: https://forum.specops501st.com/index.php?/topic/6790-sith-trooper-reference-pictures/ The pictures can be pulled into those threads (they can even now using @gmrhodes13 links) already as needed and most of the text is already drafted...for example...see the helmet here: https://forum.specops501st.com/index.php?/topic/6787-sithtrooper-helmet-draft-crl-development-discussion/ You should review those individual piece threads as the discussions and drafting have already begun.
