as close as possible to the reference pix @14166. reference doesnt look completely flush...but close

Just checking in on you @14166 and how the pack is progressing. You got it from @CrookKnight already yes?

@Blackwatch Reviewed and made some minor typo edits. Let's leave the size of the EC-17 for a later time when we have a more solid idea of the proportions. We can update that in as a Level 2 requirement even post-publishing. At this point, we simply wait for photos from @jimmiroquai and review that common parts w/ the Mudtrooper are aligned (w/ the Mudtrooper update) where applicable. Thanks everyone!!!

Any other things to make note of? In particular...are we in agreement on the color? @Blackwatch will update the draft and we can send this off for publishing along w/ Mudtrooper Val

text wise i believe we are set EXCEPT i wanted to ask @areilly do you know the %age larger the ec-17 is than the OT ec-17s?

awesome askara. look forward to pics. if you would like, start a thread for your build and we will follow it

also keep in mind that blasters are not required for approval so if $$$ is an issue i would say its the lowest priority item

Great progress @weldingdude Thanks for the WIP! Hopefully yours will inspire another after you as well.

If you are getting a helmet printed you can also get a DH-17 the same way as well. I know several guys who print those.

Ok thanks. Then unfortunately there's not going to be a whole lot we can do with it if that's all that's available. I mentioned it to our LMOs as well and they said concept art costumes are a bit of a gray area as it is...some have been approved while others have not...but all of those, approved and rejected, have all had alot more reference material to build the entire costume from. If full-body shots front and back did surface we could revisit this and see what LMOs think at that point.

Its a full body image or just the helmet posted? The other image is a BF2 model modded correct? We cant use that (as you and Icy stated) if thats the case

@Arminius as of now they are headed to CTD as in the comics they are clones and the build is primarily clone armor. If it comes out these r not the same clone types in the Vader comic issues (doubtful) then that may change

@DT5150It's cool looking for sure. Are you able to provide sufficient official LFL reference materials for this?

Congrats @LSKIV!!!

Thanks Jim!!! I see you added the foam in the back plate as well. Great! Would you be able to reshoot the other armor pieces (chest, shoulders, biceps) in the same lighting effect by chance so they match the backplate? Will you be editing these to white backgrounds or shall I find someone to do that? Lastly, with all CRLs now, we are building CRL galleries with additional shots of items. Most of the items I can pull from the Mudtrooper CRL gallery pics that are being processed by @rickyboyblue but there are a few I would like from you please. Would it be possible to get the following shots (edited if you are doing it): -Helmet all 4 sides (no goggles) -Other side of the blaster -Up close shot of cartridges by themselves -Up close shot of grenades by themselves I know you did those last 2...but maybe reshoot w/ same lighting and editing as the rest of the pictures.

Great news!

@Blackwatch You are right. The EC-17 will have to be optional as it is a blaster. Boot adjustments sound good. Additional note, I contacted @jimmiroquai and requested that he add the foam “wings” to the back plate as we have it as a Level 1 requirement at the moment. @areilly interestingly as I was flipping through FB today I saw a vendor offering 3d printed scout blasters and then offering to scale them up for R1/Solo versions

Firing up BF2 isnt a bad idea. Forgot one was in there

Yup I see it...in at least 2 of the pics. Is it black or grey? Hard to tell for me.

@Blackwatch Belt description looks good to me. My bad...we accidentally skipped over the EC-17. That can be next and then boots. I've looked at pants...doesn't seem to be anything different.

@jimmiroquai did some weathering to it...looks better...can see that image on page 1.

Hey Raven! I wish I had international providers I could suggest for you. I know we do have a few Imperial Army troopers in Italy...thats what i know of in Europe. As far as the build, if your goal is 501st approval u do need to stick to the CRL. Any deviation from that and you risk not being approved and told to correct things (which is a headache). Keep doing what you’re doing by asking here first. Best wishes!

@Blackwatch I have no issues w/ the chest/back. Just need to make sure that whatever is done to the standard Mudtrooper (such as coloring) that applies carries over here as well. We should be able to clear the other armor pieces as well (shoulders, biceps) and gloves and move straight to the belt.

Just doing a follow-up... @pm07 @Barons_Crown Any progress?

That sucks @Bozzy I know the feeling. Left my DLT-20a in the car for like 2 hrs (Florida) on accident. Came out looking like a banana.
