IcyTrooper

I'm good with what it looks like, @RAIDER what you say? I realized that we also have to drill down the text for it as well. I can get something drafted up.

That is correct. For the Kama: Kama is made from a heavy fabric material like denim or duck cloth. Leather or vinyl is not acceptable. For the strapping: Red leather or leather-like 3/4 inch (19mm) to 1 inch (25.4mm) wide connector straps are attach to kama. I can hopefully have all the text up by the end of the week. A lot of the Electrostaff stuff is going to transfer over.

That looks incredible!!

I second what @TK 21814 stated for the strapping. The text is going to be the following for it: Red leather or leather-like 3/4 inch (19mm) to 1 inch (25.4mm) wide connector straps are attach to kama.

Nice!!!

Can you circle the part you are talking about? I think you are talking about that black "D-shaped" part, right?

Congrats on the approval!!

Thanks for the explanation, @Chaos! At the end we may want to make sure our text doesn't overlap/duplicate between that other text we had, but that can be done at the end. Your text is good for the Shoulder Bell Armor with some small changes: Shoulder Bell/Bicep Armor Gloss black in color unless noted below. May be painted in accordance with the Color Scheme Guide. If used, all armor pieces must be painted using the Color Scheme Guide. Proportional to the rest of the costume. The shoulder bells may be slightly weathered but must be uniform with the rest of the costume. One on each shoulder and are not interchangeable. Each shoulder bell is a mirror image of the other. Overlaps the bicep armor or may be incorporated with the bicep as one single piece. There is a notch for the bicep armor greeblie in the front lower edge. There is a raised beveled circular detail on the outside of the shoulder bell. (See CRL Photo for reference) Inside the detail is a raised circle ring which has a flat disc painted metallic black or silver. There is a raised cylinder in the middle of the disc painted metallic black or silver. There is a vertical recess approximately 0.75" (19.05mm) wide along the inside edges of the front and rear faces. This band is offset slightly inward from the inside edge.

Yep those are good. We can make tweaks if we see anything that slipped through the cracks, but that usually comes when we get to the suit up phase and we are trying to make the pictures perfect.

Welcome, Erick! Looks like a good start! It may need a black paint coating to get it to the gloss finish, but the belt boxes look good since they have that longer length.

Hello, Luke! Glad to see you onboard here. Give it a shot and we'll help you along the way!

Congrats!

I need to get with @Dropkick as he has the helmet for this one and can model it.

On the first page I have converted all text over to the proper coloration for where we are at. There were some changes for the UK to US English, as the LMOs will notify us of that. I think the base of the text is good for all of the items. Some of them could use some two/three-tier text, but I'll check that out so that it is reorganized to flow. The meat and potatoes of the text is good though. I'm not seeing anything that could be considered ambiguous.

@Chaos sorry it took so long to get back to this. I thought we did the shoulder armor already? Was it supposed to be the bicep? https://forum.specops501st.com/topic/8662-dark-trooper-generation-3-mandalorian-crl-discussion/page/2/#comment-113794

Jef, I'd say that looks pretty good to me! I'm going to pin this thread and I'm grateful for your contribution to the Spec Ops community!

Glad you are back again! It was a damn shame that your shadow stormtrooper was never approved. I personally didn't find anything wrong with it, but alas I'm just a DL (the GML in me was pissed about that).

It was started when we first got the CRLs from the Clone Trooper Detachment, so we'd have to start a new thread and archive this one to bring the Electrostaff Specialist one over. That is something we can move this week. I'll have to get resources in on it since we have a few other CRLs that are being worked on at this time. The holidays are probably going to slow it down a little as well.

It's all good, this is a unique situation. The CRL in its current form is currently approvable with hard parts/soft parts as they exist in the current CRL. That is what your GML will reference with the current pictures and text. It would be the discretion of your GML if they were to use the current CRL and allow any slight modifications that would cater to the Electrostaff Specialist to get it more in line with the video game images; otherwise, you'd need to build it to the current CRL and not the proposed one. I don't have a timeline for updating this CRL since we'd need a model to update it. I'm not a fan of updating the text but not the model images, therefore we'd need to do both the text and pictures at the same time. We are happy to accept anyone as a model, but there is a lot of work that goes into that with pictures being taken and making sure the armor matches the text and reference images (e.g., could require further modifications, etc.).

The Electrostaff and Commander in game models has the same armor minus the obvious differences, so that'd be a good path. Just keep in mind that the GMLs are going to be referencing the current CRL, although that shouldn't probably be a big deal when it comes to this one. If you're interested in being the model for it, that could also work and would be the basis for updating the CRL images and text so they flow together.

Right now the current CRL is staying as is until we have a model to update it with new pictures. It will more closely align to the Purge Trooper Phase I: Electrostaff Specialist as that in-game model is the same. When we have a model for it we will revisit the text.

I reviewed the Lower Back Armor, nice! Lower Back Armor Gloss black in color unless noted below. May be painted in accordance with the Color Scheme Guide. If used, all armor pieces must be painted using the Color Scheme Guide. Fitted centered and under the back plate and extends to below the top of the belt. This is to hide the body of the wearer as much as possible. Lower back armor may be slightly weathered but must be uniform with the rest of the costume. The Lower Back Armor and Abdomen Armor side extensions, if any, may meet flush at the sides. Has a general “T” shape design with the top being flat across. Each top corner section is extended outward with the bottom edge angling and widening downward to the center section. There are two proportional horizontal recesses that may be present. The center section has a recessed area which has two raised circular ring type hose connectors positioned offset with the larger one located in the upper right corner and the smaller one located in the lower left corner. Connectors may be painted metallic black or silver. Two pistons may be present. If present, the ends must have the appearance of being attached to the lower back and extended to be hidden by the belt. Pistons shafts must be painted metallic black or silver.

Change request completed.

Oh wow! What comics are they in? I can't believe I've never seen that before. I have a hose setup on my Battlefront Magma Trooper (Sullust trooper) and a backpack. This looks like two red hoses into each mic tip into a variation of a scuba double tank-like setup.

Glad to see you again, @stevechewbacca! I think the gloves are looking pretty good, the cuff may be a little on the long side, but I'd like to see it with the armor fully on before that determination.
