@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.

@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.

Everything is good on these EXCEPT for chest pad we need a lime that it needs to be attached without visible snaps or rivets.

Cool. If u wanna bang out all the back parts @IcyTrooperincluding the detonator there is nothing there out of the norm. Ab/cod, belt/pouches, right thigh, and knives are the only things that will need some custom text.

(Re)painting is once again an issue BUT I have just 2 pieces to finish (chest and ab) and the build will be complete!

Got brave and went ahead and did the helmet. Tried to emulate not only the big X but any other slashes I could see in panels. Backside didnt really have any good views so I just customed that up a bit.

Started slash weathering. Have only the back pieces, thighs, and helmet (scary) left to do. Practiced on scraps. First tried a heated foam cutting tool. Wasn’t looking right so switched to a dremel w/ cutting wheel. Lesson learned…do this BEFORE painting. Here are some samples: Helmet stripes. Traps are hand painted. Tried to do the same w the lines and as expected FAILED! ?. Wife came through in the clutch though and cut me out some decal stripes on her Cameo. Crotch strap also corrected for comfort ? My goal is to have this all done tomorrow and get pictures this week. Trying to push it before elections.

Left shoulder bell is tweaked and painted (no pic). With holidays passed, I just need to do helmet stripes, slashes, and adjust crotch strap and first iteration of the build should be done.

@IcyTrooperyes that would work. Here for certain con events, I will have to get either rubber knives made or the handle with a stick of some kind. Being made of leather, they should look full regarded which helps. One detail to add, the pad should be attached without any visible rivets or snaps. And wherever they are called “pouch” change to “sheath”

@IcyTrooper Looks good except hand plates should be painted white. Other than that, all set n ready for whatever is next

@IcyTrooper one additional detail maybe to add to the left shoulder is the angled bottom (not rounded). this is tough because the art isnt always matching of course… Other than that I think we can move to the biceps and forearms which really shouldnt be any work because they’re standard TK.

Perfect. Thanks!

I cant read the french on amazon lol but the gloves seem fine to me. The texture looks spot on actually especially around the cuff. And chest text seems good.

Gosh thats so faint Im not even sure because other ones theres clearly nothing there. Check other arcs when you get a sec…because the helmet woth the exact X slahs would mean he is always using the same helmet. If it isnt in other arcs it prob isnt here either. I didnt see lines but want to make sure I didn’t overlook anything

PS I added pics of the helmet above to show bubble lens, X, black tube stripes..the unique things. One thing…can u triple check all the arc references for definitive evidence of rear and tear stripes? The helmet with that X slash Id consider a consistent carry over piece from arc to arc and I dont see stripes on the bucket in any arc

Yea man pics on my phone are giving me a heckuva time. I dunno. I think the inner bell should be white period. And Im not sure seen/unseen is a huge factor because in at least 2 panels it is seen…and others not. I think the main point there is it doesnt have to be seen for L1 (and so an alternative could be done…tho again Im not sure what that would be)…so just the line about where it should sit higher should be sufficient. L2 is where it has to be a white rounded bell top at least in there (not a tab or something else)…and if it creeps out a little cool but again not required to be seen in a normal pic. Make sense?

References for left bell… Right bell and you can see the smooth shoulder strap of sorts w tapering… Thats the only line i see needing a spelling correction… be tapered or remove be. I think for Level 1 maybe a line for the left indicating it should be raised and sit higher above the neck line. For Level 2 that there is an inner bell (though I think to get the raising an inner bell is going to be necessary regardless…but it is a detail that can go unseen).
