IcyTrooper

I'll have to dive back into this. We never did submit this to the LMOs for feasibility/placement, so we'll have to do that as well. I'm hoping that using the main Inferno Del as the primary source and then the art/models as the backup. @Dropkick would need to formally email the LMOs on this with the rationale of going for this one.

Well, now that you said something....just kidding , you don't need to worry about that indention. It isn't in the CRL at this current time. I actually think they meant to draw it lower, but didn't. The smooth top is consistent in numerous panels.

Absolutely no worries there! It is critical that we get this right for other members to build such an awesome costume, as well as for you to wear it proudly as the model!

I don't believe that we'll need another version for the back pack, it'd be an optional accessory. We should have a full back pic though for the gallery. Excellent! I hope you had a great time

Sounds good! Yeah I know if we have a screen reference that will take precedent over the supporting Hot Toys, etc., we can use as supporting references. I would feel good with the "may" text as well: A black elastic strap, approximately 1" to 1.25" (25mm to 32mm) wide, may be used to connect the cod and butt plates between the legs.

Looking forward to seeing the pics!

Hello, Alan! Thanks for your patience! As per the reference images, for the first question, his tank is smooth on the top, which is why the L1 is listed as optional: For the second question, you are correct on the center stripe decal as that detail wouldn't be present to begin with. As for the 6 stripes on the side, you are correct, they would not be present.

I'd support that change as well. We should definitely get the liability out of it.

Post up a few more pictures here, but I believe it looks approvable to me. Ultimately it will be up to your GML, so maybe also run it by them as well?

I think that text looks good, some of it derived from the Death Troopers as I've seen you've done. The only thing I'm a little reserved on is the strap in the middle connecting the cod piece to the posterior. I know we have that in the Death Trooper probably because we had a reference for it, so not sure if we want to have it on this one? I'd imagine it would be there to keep the codpiece from flaring out. I did the color scheme guide again in the text, which we should probably put in all of the text if we are making the guide. Looking at the middle and bottom picture in the reference circles you made, should we make a note about that "V" shaped piece looking like there are two levels to it (not L1 or L2), which looks different from the Death Trooper? The red lines make it look like there are two layers to it: Codpiece 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. Codpiece may be slightly weathered but must be uniform with the rest of the costume. Extends under the belt at the top and may be attached to the lower edge of the abdomen. Has a general "V" shaped appearance with three equal distinctive tapered sections with the bottom of the "V" being a horizontal edge. The side edges are angled slightly back towards the body. The bottom edge has a small section angled back towards the body. Has a “U” shaped recess outline on the left of center as worn. A black elastic strap, approximately 1 - 1 1/4th inches (25mm to 32mm) wide, is to be used to connect the cod and butt plates between the legs.

It could be the lighting, but are you talking about the green, the gray, or both? The green looks a little on the light side, but the gray should match that of the snout, so that part depends on the helmet coloration.

Aight, that logic makes sense! I agree with that. I believe the DT guide is extremely helpful to GMLs.

@Chaos I'm not married to that text for this part, but mainly because we had it with the other ones. We may not need it for every part, what do you think?

Any update on this @Fivezero?

Welcome @Calisamp! Don't forget to request Spec Ops access here: https://forum.specops501st.com/forum/130-access-requests/

@RAIDER I meant to circle back on this awhile back. I agree, the reference images aren't showing the blue in the recessed vents/cut outs. I've adjusted the text accordingly for those specific parts. I adjusted the third level details with the purple text and removed it at the L2 level. I believe that having the blue glow on the thrusters works. @Threeve this looks like this will probably be good for the text. Jump Pack Solid black in color and styled after the comic reference. A loose interpretation is allowed, but reference accuracy is encouraged. There are four levels/sections to the backpack described below: Top level: A four-sided rectangular detail in the upper one-third of the second level near the wearer's helmet. The sides of the rectangle are longer on the outer edges. Second level: A six-sided coffin shaped detail in the upper two-thirds of the third level. The sides of this shape are longer on the outer edges. Third level: A ten-sided uniquely shaped detail, with two sides that that jut out just above the thruster sections. On each of those two sides there are two rectangular cut-outs that match the reference photos. These cut-outs must be backed with material that matches the color of the rest of the jump pack. Fourth level: There are two obtuse triangular-shaped sections on each side of the jump pack. From these triangular shapes there are two slanted sections where the thrusters are mounted. There are two circular thrusters mounted on each of the slanted sections on each side. The circular thrusters have straight or slightly curved pipes with a ringed section, approximately 1/4 inch (6.35mm), near the top. The inner section of the thrusters must be backed with material that is either painted or utilizes LEDs to give a bluish soft glow. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Fourth Level: The inner section of the thrusters must be backed with material and utilizes LEDs to give a bluish soft glow.

Damn, that looks sharp! We have a few other CRLs that are getting finalized at the moment, but I'm going to see about reviewing what we did a few years ago on this one to get it pushed forward.

@Chaos thanks for keeping it running. If you are ready (you have been....and I'll be) we can make a mad dash with these I checked out the Abdomen Armor and great write-up with this one! Abdomen Armor Gloss black in color except where 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. Abdomen section may be slightly weathered but must be uniform with the rest of the costume. Shall be centered under the chest. The outer upper corners are tapered and angled up and out from the center. There are two vertical details that are angled outward and have 18-20 raised horizontal ridges. They are positioned outside a raised center section. Details are painted metallic black, silver, or dark gray. There is a raised center section which has a raised circular ring. There is a half spherical recess in the upper right corner of the center section. There are two small elongated vertical rectangles along the top of the raised center section. The Abdomen Armor and Lower Back Armor side extensions, if any, may meet flush at the sides. Two pistons may be present. If present, the ends must have the appearance of being attached to the abdomen and extended to be hidden by the belt. Pistons shafts will be painted metallic black or silver.

Niceeeeeeeeeee! 😍

I feel like the comm pad is fine in the current iteration of the text.

I agree with the requirement of certain color tones for the L1 details, but I think a suggestion of colors will help to guide individuals in the right direction. Red is a notoriously hard color to achieve standardization, photograph and perception amongst individuals. If we have evidence on the on-set colors it is possible to drill down on L2 details. We'll probably need to run through each part of the text section by section again so that we don't miss anything.

On mine, it is all elastic and Velcro. The only place I have nylon and Velcro is the part that connects the chest and back plates and then there is an offshoot elastic piece with Velcro that connects to the shoulder armor, it looks like a T.

Much better from what I can! @tipperaryred has some good info for painting in there.

Just jumping in to say, thanks for the suggestion and we'll note that overbelt one, but we are systematically tackling the items line by line in order of the CRL. It helps keep from hopping all over the place and making it realllllly busy.

Did we confirm it is the Merr Sonn Power 5? Is it on an IOC CRL presently that you could link? We are going to be adding the Version 3 helmet option soon. @Dropkick will need to model it, I think we may have gotten the pics but we have to check them out again. I know that we have the text for it prepped. There is a Legion web team CRL backend system transition going on at the moment, so updates to CRLs are sort of in stasis at the moment until that is finalized.
