IcyTrooper

Just an update to this that we will be moving forward with following the Pathfinders detachment to effectively prohibit Walt's Trooper Factory (WTF) version 1 (v1) helmet (as seen below) for basic approval on the following costumes after a 6-month grace period (detailed below): General Weir Shadow Scout Swamp Trooper An image of the WTF V1 helmet that will no longer be approvable: We are going to allow a 6-month grace period from today's date for the approval of any costumes that are currently being worked on with this helmet. The last day to get approval will be November 19, 2024. After this date the CRLs will have text added to it stating that the WTF v1 scout helmet is no longer approvable for basic approval. I'm sure there are other questions related to this, so we'll break it out like the Pathfinders did: What if I already have an approved kit? You will not need to do anything. Any costume that has been approved within the 501st Legion is grandfathered in, so long as the member remains active. What if I have the helmet but don't have the kit yet finished? You will have until November 19, 2024 to get everything completed and approved by your GML. What if I have the helmet and was retired from the 501st Legion and wish to be reactivated? You will have until November 19, 2024 to get your costume approved by your GML to move you back to active status (this is just like initial approval for the costume)

This has been submitted for LMO review.

Now that we are getting that Purge Trooper Phase 2 from Kenobi over to the LMOs on the final review we can get some resources over to this one. I know that we are going to push the Imperial Security Trooper to get across the finish line. I'll take a look at what has been suggested here and we can work it methodically as we have done with the other ones! I'm going to check with FISD on how they are going with their Night Troopers and how they are handling the variations of colors (creative liberty). I can also see if they are requiring those areas to be recessed (I don't believe so), or rather just painted on top. I am also in agreement with the no gloss for it, everything that I have seen has been that matte/satin finish. Since the Neuro-Saav Macromotion (NSM) Monitor is on both of the DTs in the scene, I can support it being a requirement.

Well done!

I think we'll be able to do both versions, but I second @Chaos that we check for additional damage on that one on other parts of the costume. I'm fairly certain we're going to have to put the disclaimer on that one with the exposed jaw like they do for the "Death Trooper" zombie TK. The disclaimer would be: Please note: This particular costume may not be welcome at all 501st events. This is not recommended as a primary Legion membership costume. Please contact your garrison CO/GML with any questions if you are planning to create one.

Congrats on the approval!!

We have the CRL text loaded into the wiki and are preparing the final images before LMO review

Great job representing the detachment! @SirCalcium

I'd say that dye job is a job well done!

I love seeing resin prints, they are always soooo smooth!

We can use this thread for 3D modeling questions and the like. @HidingInCosplay @Chaos @Andreas Funk

@Chaos thanks for the tag in on it! I'm a little hesitant on using this thread to work on the 3D modeling of the costume. I'd like to keep this thread for pulling the reference images out and then drafting the text. I'll go ahead and create a 3D modeling development thread for the past few questions. @Andreas Funk

As @Gree23 mentioned, all black. We also have some alternate angle images in the CRL gallery as well: https://databank.501st.com/databank/CRL_Gallery:Shadow_Scout

Congrats!

This has been completed.

Dang, that is looking solid!!! 🖤

Congrats!

Yeah this is an interesting one for me, it is such a small detail for a differentiation between the two. I almost want to allow current E-10.5 for both the IAT:A and IST and perhaps we can modify the base CRL to state that it may have the rail and flashlight, or something along those lines? Another route could be using the IAT:A CRL E-10.5 base text and then modifying the L2 requirements to specifically show that it is different from the IAT:A CRL E-10.5? I know that FISD has a different E-11 CRL for ANH, ROTJ, ESB for example; but I feel like that may be unnecessary for such a small detail change.

Posting it here for detachment visibility but I had a chat with the JRS DL and him and his team are in support of the Spec Ops detachment requesting the Imperial Special Forces costume for detachment placement when it comes to the LMOs. We'll do an official request in the near future.

Just an update to this that we are almost done wrapping up the text and will get the CRL wiki created. We will need to get a CRL model for the picture aspect of it and start getting that in order.

I say they look good, may want to blend the mud in a few spots on the right boot so that it looks like it was naturally occurring rather than painted on, but a lot better!

Just an update that we are still working on this. We'll have some feedback soon.

@Blackwatch I think that text looks good.

I agree with both of you. That is very similar to how we have developed the Purge trooper CRLs and updates, by utilizing the clone stuff and modifying it as it fits.

I agree, that is the consideration. We are going to take a look at that this weekend with some of the DCA training we have going on.
