Congrats! U look great!!! If needed, would we have permission to use these photos in a CRL gallery (additional reference materials for GMLs to examine)? Well done!

Nice. I think the holdup for most people has been the material for the tunic.

Cool. Going for Level 2? We need a first lol

Excellent photos! Looks great!!!

Excellent! Glad to have this here. Keep em coming! At quick glance...possibly may look at the goggle trim n compare to references to see if it needs some trimming back. Looking good! Did u throw a little bungee wrap on that telemetry unit?

Excellent. Opportunity here for a brief "bloused" how to link for those that might not know what that is as well.

Interesting. I will need to go back through all of the discussion threads to see the references as to why that is. Let me ping my Mud experts as well @JAFO @amcclary @rickyboyblue @Tarrif

Awesome. Did you do the end cap details? Those top "clips" are remaining silver?

Heck yea bro!!! Well done. @Hydra @IcyTrooper Can we get a nice clean edit of him up on social media? THX!

@MahXPrime @macdaddycjs @Tarrif any input?

Correct on the hat...the issue is the context of where those items were used by the troopers (from the very beginning hence why they were allowed as optional)...again, not their appearance in panels necessarily. @TX-15293 has provided me w/ some digital copies of these issues so I can take a look at them and make an informed decision. As far as trooping with it...you should just make sure to clear any non-CRL items w/ your GML and CO prior to use...particularly if it's an LFL event.

Ur not much shorter than me (I'm 5'9"/5'10") but a heckuva lot thinner (190 lbs). Need to borrow some of my weight? It's tough to tell with tape because elastic tends to pull stuff in tighter once it's all connected.

Mmmmm...by scavenged I mean "not standard issue"...Boba (bounty hunter) has no "standard issue" because he's not an imperial trooper. In terms of semantics, everything he has is scavenged so thats an apples to orange comparison. He has the screen reference for what his costume has always been (though it changes from ESB to ROTJ in some ways) but he's not an Imperial trooper. The context we are discussing is Imperial troopers and their gear. Please note, I'm not opposed to the idea persay...I am just giving you the context of what was already discussed w/ previous LMOs and the CRL team when the update was made and why the the decision was made to omit the belts. What you're addressing is not a new request/find...I actually found the CRL discussion on this in our staff area from last term...I can't link you to it unfortunately because it's in the staff area but I was actually the one who noticed the belts (and the absence of any body armor which the initial IAT CRL had) and inquired about them. The armor was pulled from the CRL and the belt was shot down (which I initially advocated for). The reasoning...if it's not standard trooper issue, it sets a precedent for anything picked up by any trooper at any moment (whether on screen or in comic panel) to be labeled "optional" even if that's not the intent of the costume. Use your imagination...that precedent can lead to alot of unintended consequences on what can be considered optional (i.e. in ROTJ Vader hands Luke's lightsaber to an Imperial officer...sabers optional for officers?). Simply being in a panel is not necessarily enough for acceptance. Context of use of the item must be taken into account. You are more than welcome to present the case and evidence...just be aware that there is a wider perspective as to the omission. I've contacted @toddo for his input as he worked on this w/ @izzi at the time. @stormtrooperguy and @Hask (our current LMO liasons) can add some perspective as well if they'd like.

What's your size dimensions?

@Blackwatch I would adjust L1 to say jackboot and commuter. Then, the "bloused" line you can add "If using jackboot" or some verbiage such as that as, correct me if I'm wrong, a commuter boot would not require blousing right?

I believe we discussed this in the updated IAT discussion (possibly the original as well..I'd need to go check). @Blackwatch would have better recollection possibly. From what I remember, the discussion was that the belt and TK options were not going to be accepted because they were not parts of the actual trooper garb...rather they were scavenged parts from survivors throughout the battle in this comic (note, I've never read the comic) and these were simply IATs using whatever gear they could find at this point. If I could find the entire comic(s), I would love to read that for myself. We should not point to rebel or hero options as standards for our troopers (i.e. Han or Luke...they aren't ever approvable on our end in the Legion). That's not good practice. Regarding the Mudtroopers, the majority DO have the second belt...I'm not sure we can safely point to them having a 2nd belt which is a norm as reasoning for why we should allow TK belts. I'd like to see the context of the belt usage. I'm going to see if I can find those thread discussions to see if my memory serves correct.

The faces make this so much more entertaining ? Kit looks Anovos yes? You won't find much better build advice than from @ukswrath and knowing him...you're prob not annoying him at all. Tremendous and self-less resource. No such thing as a stupid question...better to ask than make a mistake that's so much more difficult to repair.

I'm going to call in @Fivezero to help w/ feedback on the 3D models...he's waaaay more knowledgeable on that than me (not hard...I have zero experience in it lol). Excellent work! Is it safe to say you're starting from scratch on this? LMOs are deciding if they want me to tab this under the same CRL as the Rebels version or create a new CRL...this feels like a a more "realistic" version. On Gar...interesting, no balaclava. The jumpsuit appears to have texture. Can you grab a closeup of the grunt so we can see if there's texture there?

@splinter @Tarrif @Gaugerage could prob chime in if you go start that thread in the swamptrooper section chaos mentioned.

Looks much better. I'm not a 3D artist by any means...when I look at the canister it feels like it may be sitting just a hair high still (so possibly a hair big). I only get that "feel" though when I look at the angled renders...not the full on back render.

I think that's acceptable if the look is achieved for Level 1 so long as it's worded into the boot requirements as to how that look should be achieved. Would we then want to make commuter a Level 2 requirement OR is the consensus that based on the references it could be either commuter or a bloused jack?

@Blackwatch @TX-15293 how is our text proposal looking? All discussions on it set and ready for review?

Thanks @MrShadow!!! You are doing the grunt correct? Gar w/ helmet available or no?

@Fivezero has a thing for big blasters. Not surprised to see this lol.

@MrShadow Great to have you back in on this. You must be a mind reader because it was on my agenda to reach out and see where this was at. Regarding the Force Arena model...you have 360 references. I don't see why it wouldn't be approvable. I would need to speak to the LMOs to see if we should launch it as it's own separate CRL from the animated Rebels version or if it would be a tabbed version under the same CRL. Either way...I think you would be clear. Any reference of the weaponry used? Additionally, do you know if Gar Saxon and any other commandos are in the game that you could find references for?
