Yeah L2 is definitely good for the finer details on this and we can even through reference images into the Gallery like I had mentioned and planned on to assist us and the GMLs. I'm planning on reviewing this tomorrow to push through. My brain is fried after helping get the rest of those trading cards done and work today. I know that we have a lot of the images already in a Google Drive folder and are edited, so we are in really good shape.

Purge Trooper (Phase II) - Kenobi - Discussion
IcyTrooper replied to nanotek's topic in Purge Trooper Phase II (Kenobi)
I think the Back Armor looks good with the text that was presented with a slight tweak for the slotting of the detail ridges like we did for the chest: Back Armor Painted gloss black. Backpack radio is permanently attached to back armor. Chest and back armor match together at the sides with no gap and a seam line is present. The connection between the chest and the back armor may be fabric, elastic, plastic or rubber, so as it closely matches the armor color. Shoulder straps are slotted into the detail ridges of the top connection points or attached behind them. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Shoulder straps must be slotted into the detail ridges of the top connection points. -

I'm going to finalize this for the Kama: Kama The exterior is a black leather or leather-like material. Any stitching that is used is black. The exterior is divided into 4 large panels and has the following details: Three small pleated panels, roughly 1.5 inches (40mm) per panel, of equal height are stacked vertically at the bottom of the Kama. The rear center of the Kama has a slit that runs from the bottom and stops a third of the way from the top. A red corded seam runs along the front edge on both sides and matches the red used on the armor. The inner lining fabric has a pattern representing black cogs on a red background (vinyl material acceptable) and has the following details: The inner lining is divided into 4 large panels that run top to bottom. Black repeating cog pattern covers the entire interior. Each row is offset from the row above and below and are roughly 1/2 inches (12.7mm) in diameter. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): The exterior is black leather. The red on the inner liner fabric is raised, giving the appearance of an embossed pattern. -

Howdy! I'll hop into the Back Armor this evening. -
Hello and welcome! I can hopefully answer these for you: The E11 Holster is indeed mounted to the belt via fasteners that can be rivets, snaps or Chicago screws (this picture shows Chicago screws) and they are painted black. It is mounted close to the location below on the left side of the belt/wearer and only has the two fasteners through the bottom of the belt. Some belts have 4 fasteners (two on each side top and bottom), the 4 fasteners is NOT correct. It cannot be looped around the belt, only affixed from behind. From the picture, even though it is a little small, there doesn't appear to be any issues I can see from the front that would prohibit and approval from your GML. I noticed there is Velcro on one of the shoulder bells probably from mounting a patch or something. That isn't in the CRL, but your GML would be the one approving it or not.

@dewannawanga Thanks for the clarity! I guess I was trying to figure out if it was a true split or if it was hemmed so that it was a fold-over on a seam? I've looked for proper sewing definitions, kind of like how I that piping was really a "corded seam". @tipperaryred Ahhh, okay, I was wondering. I usually move the stuff over from the later pages into the main once we are good with the text. If you have done that on a few that is good, just want to make sure it gets carried over right so that when we get to the Wiki we don't have to go back for a major error. I see what you did now, so we are good! @smoszer I appreciate you guys taking the helm on this and apologize for the oversight in getting staff members in the review process. I didn't realize that we were absent from it! As a fellow GML, I too appreciate more clear writing that's for sure! If you can get those references for me that are clearer that'll help ease my mind and we can proceed. -
It does look correct to me. Our top greeblies match that of the Biker Scout in ROTJ.

Since you are working on the Kama this weekend we can go out of order on the finalization of text. I had to look around to make sure I could find it in all these pages, but I finally did! I did any changes in purple for now, but I do have a question about the red text. I'm having a hard time figuring out where this is. Kama The exterior is a black leather or leather-like material. Any stitching that is used is black. The exterior is divided into 4 large panels and has the following details: Three small pleated panels, roughly 1.5 inches (40mm) per panel, of equal height are stacked vertically at the bottom of the Kama. There is a slit separating the back center of the Kama that runs from the bottom and stops a third of the way from the top. A red corded seam runs along the front edge on both sides and matches the red used on the armor. The inner lining fabric has a pattern representing black cogs on a red background (vinyl material acceptable) and has the following details: The inner lining is divided into 4 large panels that run top to bottom. Black repeating cog pattern covers the entire interior. Each row is offset from the row above and below and are roughly 1/2 inches (12.7mm) in diameter. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): The exterior is black leather. The red on the inner liner fabric is raised, giving the appearance of an embossed pattern. -
There is currently no provisions for straps to be affixed to any optional blaster. I'd consult your GML on what would be acceptable based on your locale.

I put in the text for the DC-15 blasters as I don't think we need to rewrite those from the work was done with CTD. I'm in favor for simplifying the text a bit for accessibility of materials globally, but instead of doing each section maybe we draw a reference to those reference images in the gallery of the CRL and instead list the section count? I did put a part in red below that I need help with. Is there only 1 button or truly 2 of them? I looked at the CAD drawing that you provided (well done, by the way!) and it shows 2 there but wasn't sure in-game. I took the overall length you had stated for it and did a reduction of 14% to go from the 248.2cm on the CAD drawing to the 213.3cm listed in the text draft. I did that for sections 1 & 5 and 2 & 4. An example of what I mean would be this for the Electrostaff: Electrostaff Please also reference the gallery images when reviewing the text below. Electrostaff is approximately 84 inches (213.3cm) long and divided into five sections. Sections 1 and 5 are the ends of the electrostaff. Sections 1 and 5 may have the appearance of electricity emitting from it via the use of greeblies. If these greeblies exist they must be painted to match the reference photos or may be electronically lit matching the color of the reference photos. Sections 2 and 4 are the grip handles of the electrostaff. Section 5 is the middle section of the electrostaff. Sections 1 and 5 are approximately 14 inches (35.5cm) and have the following details: A prong-like tab greeblie with raised ends that has 2 circles removed in the middle of the raised part of the greeblie. This is located on the butt end of the electrostaff. The butt end of the electrostaff is a circular tube segment with circular indentions evenly spaced near the end of the segment. This segment is attached to the next segment via a thread-like connection. The butt end of the electrostaff has an inner depressed ring with 4 circular indentions evenly spaced around the outer edge of that inner depressed ring. The next segment from the thread-like connection resembles the shape of a bullet with a flat end as it connects to another cylindrical segment and has a ringed connector piece which connections sections 1 and 5 to sections 2 and 4. Sections 2 and 4 are approximately 11 inches (27.9cm) and have the following details: The outermost connection that connect to sections 1 and 5 resemble that of section 5 in design. It is ribbed with 4 evenly spaced, circular rods that run the length of the connection. The innermost connection that connections section 5 also resemble that of section 5 in design. It is ribbed with 4 evenly spaced, circular rods that run the length of the connection. The middle part is textured resembling a grip around the entire length of the section. Only one of the textured sections will have a circular button with a ring as if it was used to turn on the electrostaff. This button does not need to be functional and may sit flush with the rest of the section. Section 5 is approximately 35 inches (88.9cm) long and has the following details: The middle section of the staff is ribbed. There are four evenly spaced, circular rods that run the length of the middle section. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Sections 1 and 5: In addition to the 4 circular indentions that are evenly spaced around the outer edge of the depressed inner ring, there are an additional 4 circular indentions that are on each side of the prong-like greeblie within the inside of the inner ring matching the reference photo. These sections must have the appearance of electricity emitting from it via the use of greeblies. They must be electronically lit matching the color of the reference photos. Section 5: Where ribbed sections come together there are 2 circular indentions on each side of the raised connection. These are only on 2 of 4 sides in between the circular rods, each on opposite sides.

Got it, we did have mention about the lack of a gap on the sides but we should definitely clarify that they are connected at the sides with a material. I also agree that functioning electronics should be an L2 item. That has generally been standard around the Legion. I added stuff in purple below, but may be worth a secondary glance to ensure it isn't confusing. Chest Armor Painted gloss black. The positioning descriptions with reference to left and right are as if you are a looking at the armor from the front. Two raised rectangles aligned vertically in center of armor. The left rectangle has small raised line along outside edge. The right rectangle extends slightly above the left rectangle and has a small notch shape on right edge and 4 small horizontal rectangles on the lower left corner. Raised 4 sided greeblie is located on the lower left side of the armor with a raised circle that has a round red lens on top and a raised vertical rectangle below the lens. The lens may be painted to give the effect it is lit or it may be electronically lit producing a steady, non-blinking, light that is red in color. Two raised vertical rectangles on the lower right side of the armor. Chest and back armor match together at the sides with no gap and a seam line is present. The connection between the chest and the back armor may be fabric, elastic, plastic or rubber, so as it closely matches the armor color. Shoulder straps are slotted into the detail ridges of the top connection points or attached behind them. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Shoulder straps must be slotted into the detail ridges of the top connection points. The round red lens is electronically lit producing a steady, non-blinking, light that is red in color. -

Got the text updated for the Gloves, that should be good for now. I'll post the Chest Armor below so that we can verify that. I added the L2 detail for this to match what we had for the Electrostaff Purge Trooper since it does appear that they are that way into the slots but the same look can be achieved if it is behind the armor as well. Chest Armor Painted gloss black. The positioning descriptions with reference to left and right are as if you are a looking at the armor from the front. Two raised rectangles aligned vertically in center of armor. The left rectangle has small raised line along outside edge. The right rectangle extends slightly above the left rectangle and has a small notch shape on right edge and 4 small horizontal rectangles on the lower left corner. Raised 4 sided greeblie is located on the lower left side of the armor with a raised circle that has a round red lens on top and a raised vertical rectangle below the lens.

I saw we did a little work with the gloves aligning them to the R1TK, which is what I'm observing as well. We do have the Imperial Death Trooper text with a similar glove, so perhaps we can do a hybrid of that text with what we have come up with here since it is a different show. I did like the padding addition for L2. Gloves Black in color, made of Nomex, leather, or leather-like material, with no visible straps or logos/designs. The fingers are enclosed, non-textured. The palm, thumb and forefinger are black leather or leather-like. Cuff is made from black elastic or elastic type of material. Extends underneath the forearm armor. The hand plates are attached to the back of each glove with no visible method of attachment. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): There is a curved cut out in the forefinger leather. The palms have 5 raised padded sections that match the reference photos. -
Time for the Boots! I like the L2 details on that one, I never even had realized that looking at the images a few times Boots Black, ankle high or tall enough to cover the ankle. There shall be no black undersuit visible at the ankle. Boots are lace-less. The boots have armor detail to include a natural seam at the toe and a strap that goes over the top of the foot with two protruding disks at each side of the strap. There are no markings or labels from the shoe makers. Boot soles are flat. The outward facing edges of the boot soles are black. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): The bottom of the sole is red with a black capital "I” line detail, matching the reference photos. The red does not extend to the edges of the boot bottom.

Oh sweet on the new bells! I noticed in the game that they sit more along the bicep armor and kind of off the shoulder too, it is strange but maybe you want to have them do that too?!

I'm going to tweak that forearm a little more, it was good to note that the location is a bit different. Forearm Armor Painted gloss black. Armor is a two-piece design with a top and bottom. Armor is joined together with visible seams on both sides Both left and right forearms are mirror images of each other. Right forearm has a compad with 8 small buttons and 1 large main button. A second slightly smaller rectangular button sits centered on the main compad. The compad placement is closer to the bend in the wearer's elbow rather than by the wrist. Compad placement matches reference photos. Forearm tops have a flattened triangular area with a ridge that comes to a point at the top center of the forearm. This would make it pretty clear that the placement is special. I think we are good to move to the Hand Plates below: Hand Plates Painted gloss black. Hand plates are mirror images of each other. Hand plates have a top curving ridge just past the knuckles of the hand. Hand plates turn down in a triangular shape that point towards the base of the thumb. -
It's what we try to do best I think we'll leave the material out for now and any pending final check on it all when we start putting it into the CRL. We are onto the Lower Leg Armor, woo! I don't see anything here that needs to change on my glance. Lower Leg Armor Realistic style lower leg armor. Armor is painted satin black. Front of the lower leg has a flat triangular detail at the top which transitions to a ridge line that travels down the front of the armor to the ankle. Back of the lower leg has an indented arched area that continues down to the ankle. Bottom of the back side has an arched half circle engraved line at the heel. Armor is seamless, except where the calf spoon connects to the back of the lower leg indent edge. Armor has little to no weathering. Any weathering present consists of grey tones. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Calf spoon inserts connect to the lower leg inside and are secured to keep in place.

Question about Shadow Stormtrooper parts 501st approvable
IcyTrooper replied to Pascal74212's topic in Shadow Stormtrooper
Hello! The EFX helmet and boots look to be approvable from what I can see in those few pictures. Is the $245 for both the boots and helmet? If so that is really good and if it is just the helmet I'd say that isn't bad either. Fully assembled Anovos shadow stormtrooper helmets are going for $400-600 online right now. -
