Cool @CrookKnight! Good to see your close! The only glaring thing that isnt in line w the CRL for basic approval that I see is the cod stitch pattern. It should be a curve and the CRL specifically says “not a chevron” which is what it looks like you have.

lol none yet. im tryin to be good

Haha yup I saw this. Super cool and very surprised to see it

Checked. All looks good. If no other issues @nanotek we can push it over to LMOs for publishing yea?

Im good w what you say. The “intake” I feel can be called almost whatever (within reason lol) because that detail will be a “look at the picture” part. The only thing I think missed is from the left shoulder, first bullet, second sub-bullet…the hexagonal protrusion on inside n outside of shoulder Having issues attaching pics but it is more of a trapezoid as @nanotek suggested. Other than that u got it all

could mention weathering in each line. i would say follow what other costumes that require weathering throughout do…ie mudtrooper has it in every item. shoulder shape is referring to the side view of the shoulder…it’s not flat/smooth like a typical shoulder but has a section that juts out that section would be more trapezoidal. knife sheaths…that should remain hexagon the line isnt referring to the sheaths but to the pad they rest on which has 6 sides. there are no actual “intake” sections. the emphasis i think was on “resembles” and uses “matches references” If you can think of a better way to describe the raised area go for it…its raised and has angled “U” cutouts on each end Dunno if that helps. and yes left is larger and sits higher than the right (due to larger size). prob good idea to mention both aspects. the larger left shoulder should not sit level w the right…its supposed to be a neck guard like old knight armor…or titan armor in destiny lol.

Heck yea! Congrats! Make sure to request access here (read directions thread first)…we have a merch run ending soon u might want in on https://forum.specops501st.com/forum/130-access-requests/ And then when you get to trooping, take part in our Imperial Dragons program… https://forum.specops501st.com/forum/53-imperial-dragons/

Good luck! The fit of the bund/crotch is much improved. Keep us posted!

@IcyTrooper lol. yea. homeboy has seen some serious action. the others are clean n cute ? looks good now

I like it but Im also thinking it needs to be required…not optional. Weathering is required on Sandtroopers, Mudtroopers…etc…this wouldnt be any different. The helmet requires weathering/slashes and we have the line that says the weathering should be uniform…so that would mean if bucket requires it everything else probably should as well. Wanting to avoid someone putting an X on a helmet and calling it done when the references show he has slices all over @IcyTrooper

Correct. In the Special Notes header paragraphs can we switch the weathering to required and make a note about the type of weathering (slashes and cuts) so people dont assume they can do sand or dirt/mud?

@IcyTrooperOne question before final publishing…i noticed we have weathering as optional. I think slash/cut weathering should be required. Would look off on just the helmet. The helmet X the should be the only required exact cut…everything else should have some creative license but still some present all over nonetheless

So a Shadow Scout then…sorry thats what I meant lol. Yea mine is spray painted. It’s def do-able and much cheaper than finding someone to pro spray (which Ive done as well).

Hey Red! First up…what type of kit are we talking about? Spray paint can work just fine. Can also out a clear coat on it to seal it a but more. Thatll be your cheapest approach unless you can find someone who will do a pro paint job kn the cheap

Sounds good. Im back home tomorrow and sill try to finish that last piece painting so I can take pics this week.

@IcyTrooper I just checked n see there are 2 Bad Batchers n I see how they named em…but then we have Kreel already too. Lets just make it match whatever was done for Kreel instead lol. Task Force 99: Cav. Right?

@IcyTrooper I dont know if the CRLs are made but if any exist for Bad Batch clones Id say follow that maybe. If they use a title or a unit in the name do that. If they just use the character name, do that. And gotcha on the knife paint. I see the difference

@IcyTrooper Knives…L2 line is a duplicate of final L1 line so prob not necessary. CRL description…Im good either way on this but I dont remember it ever stating his rank is “Specialist” just that he specializes in melee (and I think that’s the wiki more than the comics). Anyways, you call it n Im good.

Gucci mane

@nanotekI will do whatever ya’ll come up w mate!

A couple things… - The sheath is in proportion to the wearer and close to the sheaths on the chest pad Change the “close to” to “matches” i think is better - L2…no rivets attaching the ammo pack. - And this is the biggie n may be something that will take time to fix…i based the strapping off of a different arc because it showed the sheath better. That arc uses 2 straps w the sheath mounted on a small rectangular pad. Interestingly…in one panel of the main arc we are using, the sheath is on the left leg (w the sniper knee plate), in another there is no sheath, another right thigh, another right thigh again but then theres a second sheath on the shin using the style I had made. Sooooo all that to say IDK. If it needs a fix on my end I get it but thatll be some time prob as I need to recommission that part. This was the panel I used just cuz they showed the sheath side much clearer

@IcyTrooper Just a heads up, Im headed out to Italia today and will be gone for about 10 days…looks like all we need is thighs (right thigh sheath) and knives. Feel free to finish n whenever I have a chance to review it I will. And when I get back I just have to repaint the abdomen n then I will take pics.

@IcyTrooper Lower leg armor and boots look good. Nothing out of the ordinary there.

Measured mine and they are approx 3.5” wide, 6” tall, and 2” deep.

Here the only things I think missing…the angled recessed lines that separate the black from the white portions…and L2 the cod is definitely separated from the abdomen. Panels show that. Looking ahead to belt/pouches…the belt is tough to make out in this arc. It most reminded me of a clone belt. I think it’s animated phase 2? Cant remember now exactly…but the vertical lines and detail in the center is what led me to that. Pouches are simply black medium spanish pouches w a white pull tab instead of the bronze button normally used on Sandtroopers.
