Man this got lost in the shuffle w/ all the Mudtrooper work. So sorry. Ok...do we have pics ready to go for this one?

@IcyTrooper Excellent. Makes sense. That sounds great to me. My next question (hopefully my last), do we think the pack can use a bit more detailed description? I'm thinking some reference to the buttons and stripes (yellow looks like) in particular...but really any details we think it absolutely must have. I mention this because the chestbox has detailed description, and since every Rocket Trooper pack is identical w/ no variation, maybe we should consider making that a bit specific. Thoughts? @Blackwatch @Scubacat @izzi tagging to get some fresh eyes on it.

@IcyTrooper THANK YOU! I've only built using cover strips. So with that method in mind, my question would be...does the source reference clearly depict that method? Currently Level 2 says it is the ONLY acceptable method and I would like some feedback on if that should in fact be the case. @Tarrif would like your input as well. Also...please adjust the posterior/kidney so that there are NO crotch snaps. THANKS TEAM!

Excellent. Yes I'd like to see that. Thanks!

Great draft up man! Thanks!!! A couple questions/observations... 1) I've never built a ROTJ styled TK...can you explain the "overlap" method for the biceps? 2) Kidney/Posterior...its worded as with or without snaps. In reference I don't see any at all. I think that's it for now. Great job on the draft and big thanks to the trooper who kicked this off. Well done!

Yes I think that's the consensus moving fwd.

Awesome! Congrats! Looks great!!!

Awesome man! If you need any other feedback drops some pics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Excellent resource @rickyboyblue. Thank you so much for posting it here! I hope we can get some other detailed builds up here as well to help expedite these grunts to the frontline!!!

Here would be my suggestions: 1) Pouch is far off to the side. Needs to come in towards center more. Ideally, you'd like them positioned so that they nudge up on the "stripes" on the cumberbund on both sides. It looks like that one your right may need more padding to fill it out evenly as well. 2) Paint the rivets on boots and belt black. 3) Belt positioning. From the rear (and all the way around), the cumberbund should not creep out below the belt. The bottom of the bund should tuck under the belt and end there. Those are easy fixes...and might just need someone to suit you up, take those pics, and check em thoroughly before you desuit and call it a day. The only concern I have that might not be as easy a fix is the helmet. The visor looks slanted. It's tough to get that part perfect...some curvature can happen...feel like yours might have too much slant down to your left. Hope that helps! Thanks for asking! Build looks nearly done man!!!

Post-CRL review, updated reference pictures from other proposal thread and discussions.

@Toda Awesome! These guys have worked hard to comb through the details of our references to get this right. Anxiously awaiting that pack to finish it up!

THANK YOU! We had several submissions for both grenade and medic bicep. With this, all pics are in and accounted for. LMOs have been contacted and we wait. Thank you again to all prospective builders for their patience and the amazing input given by all who participated in the drafting of this proposal. P.S. Standard bicep color confirmed as Montana Yellow Cab. CRL adjusted to reflect this but still reads as "or comparable color" to allow for similar options.

We have all pictures edited and ready to submit EXCEPT the following: medic bicep grenade Currently exploring options for these pieces but if anyone has them on hand to photo, we could use them asap. Spread the word and have people contact me. THANKS!

Edits made to telemetry unit color and medic stripe markings color. Adjustments made to Level 2. Moved respirator hex screw to (again, after further discussion) and belt loop drop down to Level 2. We have found a suitable CRL model. Pictures are currently being submitted and edited for final submission to LMOs.

Very nice. Interesting...this would require a new CRL entirely. @Blackwatch @izzi @Scubacat We may need to make sure our reference photos and what not are up to date and sufficient for building the CRL. Following your thread man. As detailed of a build as you can provide in here the better. Good luck!

Edits made to telemetry unit color and medic stripe markings color.

@Blackwatch none yet on my end.

Draft has been reviewed in its entirety line by line. Additional edits made to cleanup text, descriptions, order. Change made to helmet flashlight (level 2). Reviewing current draft in comparison to original applicant's armor. Please standby for picture requests of armor pieces that will be needed.

Hopefully soon! Congrats on the weight loss. Give me your secrets lol! But yes...keep keeping us updated.

Looking good man. Im anxious to see that pack w the whole suit. Which config are you looking to do? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

3D Printed??? I need to get one lol.

If the armor setup itself is vastly different, then I would be of the mind to not include the weapon.

Hey Stormsy. Until the CRL is official and complete we (at least as a staff) arent in a position to say whether something will be acceptable or not unfortunately. I hope you understand. That said, I would highly encourage you to start a separate thread in the Imperial Army section and get some potential feedback and input there. Sorry I cant be more helpful at the moment until the CRL is finished here in this thread. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I totally understand lol. Sure do that. Like I said, him carrying the blaster around and then raging out w it on the battlefield is evidence that Imperial Mudtroopers did have them issued (I suppose). I buy it. Ultimately, Im not the one who has to be convinced. I can see counter arguments to it popping up. Was he not a “standard” MT? Did his gear/armor differ significantly enough that he could be considered a different type of trooper other than “standard”? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
