Good work this far!!

Awesome!

The never-ending journey! We are all there striving for perfection. Love it!

I do agree with that assessment! I'm going to tweak it a little bit more to make it a shall/will be rather than a should, so that someone doesn't take it as optional Chest Armor Realistic style Chest Armor. Armor is painted satin black. Two pill shaped recesses on the lower outside edge of the right pectoral area. Chest and back armor match together at the sides with no open gap. A seam line is present. Shoulder straps are slotted into the detail ridges of the top connection points or attached behind them. Bottom edges will be beveled, as should be the lower edge of the raised chest section. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Shoulder straps must be slotted into the detail ridges of the top connection points.

Hello again! I spoke with the DCA team again today and we are going to be working the photos (and requesting additional ones as needed) to update the text for the helmet! We are still talking about the blasters.

Good luck, my friend!!

I'm ready to see another 000!

I totally meant to put "satin" only for it, I copied and pasted at work when I was doing another task, doh! I revised according to the discussion but also allowed for the ability to attach behind for L1 as to me the appearance of either looks right. We could maybe drive that it must be slotted through for L2? Chest Armor Realistic style Chest Armor. Armor is painted satin black. Two pill shaped recesses on the lower outside edge of the right pectoral area. Chest and back armor match together at the sides with no open gap. A seam line is present. 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.

Onto the Chest Armor text! Chest Armor Realistic style Chest Armor. Armor is painted matte or satin black. Two detail slots on the lower outside edge of the right pectoral area. Chest and back armor match together at the sides with no open gap. A seam line is present. Shoulder straps are slotted into the detail ridges of the top connection points.

It may be able to go a little tighter, but honestly, with the animation style a lot of things look pretty tight and could be unrealistically tight.

I think that it looks good for the shape and with the lines! I agree with the red being deeper, cameras do some good tricks with red.

I've been trying to figure out what pistol 1 is but pistol 2 looks like a modified version of a E-5 blaster rifle. Pistol 1 may be like a carbine version of the DC-15.

We have had extensive debate on this topic and have not yet come to a resolution on the addition of the black color. However, one could paint it a very dark gray shade that is close to black and I don't see why there wouldn't be an issue. We establish the CRL as a guideline for the GMLs based on the best evidence that we have at the time and your GML will ultimately be responsible for the approval of the costume, not the detachment. Not sure why it was necessary to post that you are just going to paint it however you feel it should be.

The Sith Trooper has vast differences when compared to a First Order Stomtrooper, here is the CRL for the Sith Trooper: https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TX_Sith_Trooper, it isn't just a First Order Stormtrooper that is painted red. The First Order Stormtroopers as seen in The Last Jedi + The Rise of Skywalker, as well as The Force Awakens are very similar. The main difference in those variations are the helmets.

I believe that the Hand Plates will be next, but should be easy: Hand Plates Realistic style hand plates. Hand plates are painted satin black. Hand plates have a top curving ridge that come to a point over the index or middle finger just past the main knuckle of the hand.

You're moving right on along!

Okay dokie, I'm going to move us to the Forearm Armor now Forearm Armor Purge Trooper style forearm armor. Armor is painted satin black. Forearms have flatter elbow openings than standard clone trooper. Forearms have a top ridge that transitions to a flattened triangle area at the wrist end. Right forearm has a compad with 8 small buttons, 1 large main button, and 1 slightly smaller rectangular button closest to the elbow. The button closest to the elbow is painted red. The compad base has a angular lower panel with a recessed cutline. Two white chevron stripes are present on the outer half of each forearm and point towards the shoulder. Each stripe is approximately 1" (25.4mm) wide with a ¼" (6.35mm) gap in between. On the right forearm, the compad does not overlap the white stripes. Armor is seamless. No visible traces of how the armor was assembled are shown. I made some changes in purple and reorganized it a bit to flow. I added that "point towards the shoulder" part because there are stripes on both forearms, so I didn't want to make things redundant. What does everyone think?

Thanks for the patience, I've been traveling for work and days have been LONG. I don't think we ever published the finalized (for now) Helmet text: I did a little changes with the purple text. Helmet Gloss black in color, consistent with the rest of the costume. Lens must be sufficiently dark enough to obscure the costumer's eyes. The eye lens is one continuous piece with a mirrored red tint. The central vocoder (chin detail) may be molded as a separate piece and is inserted into a recess in the mouth plate or it may be molded as a part of the mouth plate, but with a prominent recessed outline to create the appearance of being separate. The top part of the vocoder is rectangular in shape, with two clipped dog ears on the top corners. A smaller plate of identical shape sits on the top of this panel, leaving a narrow margin around each edge. There is also an angular cut out at the top of the right edge of this plate. A second rectangular plate sits on the top of the first, covering approximately 40% of bottom of the lower plate. There is a raised horizontal line on the lower left side of this top plate. There is a small square recess underneath this raised horizontal line. The main body of the vocoder sits below the panel described above. 9 raised ridges run vertically across the vocoder. Angled wings at the top of either side of the vocoder ridges, each slightly under approximately 50% of the length of these ridges. These wings angle down to the rest on top of the main mouth plate. Square profile side tusks run back from the lower edges of this front plate. Recessed rectangular metallic silver screens are inset into the greeblie in the front of each side tusk. Each greeblie has a raised ridge on 3 sides, angling up from the bottom side of the greeblie. 6 pill shapped symmetrical recessed stripes on each tusk, with the bottom of the recesses filled with red to match the pauldron, belt accessories and left bicep armor. A small raised horizontal rectangle with a recessed line is located below the vocoder. The frown must have 10 teeth cut out and any raised teeth or angled recesses are painted silver. There is a silver rectangular plate on the nose, between the teeth and the front plate, with a silver half moon greeble on top. This plate is recessed below the angled face plates on either side. The half moon greeble is level with the adjacent face plates. There is symmetrical recesses with a pill shaped greeblie on each side between the side tubes and the cheeks. The top of the greeblies are split in half with the top half being flat and the bottom half having 4 raised ridges that are level with the flat half. There are sharp angular cheekbones sculpted into helmet face plate running in a triangular shape below the lens opening. There are 3 raised ridges run from the center of the brow, over the top of the helmet and down to the rear center of the helmet skirt. The central ridge is approximately 2.5 times wider than the ridges to either side of it. A winged greeblie sits below the center of the brow ridge and above the eye lens. The top of the helmet is separated from the face plate by a horizontal band running above the brow. A groove separates the top of the helmet and the rear skirt, running across the back of the helmet, meeting the brow band on either side. The side greebles (communicators/range finders) are attached on top of the joints between the band and the ridge on either side of the helmet. Symmetrical rectangular greebles (communicators/range finders) with semi-circular ridges underneath, present at the back of each side of the brow band, situated on top of the point where the front band meets the rear groove. The greeblie contains two raised and stacked squares, each with a circular LED or sculpted imitation located near the front, and a single recessed line in the shape of a square outlining the back two thirds of the greeble. OPTIONAL - The top and bottom may be lit using LEDs. The top LED must be a warm pale yellow (similar to a warm incandescent bulb), the bottom LED must be red. There are 2 small pill shaped double indentation in the bottom corners of the faceplate, under each ear. The rear indentation is vertical and slightly longer than the front indentation that angles toward the front of the helmet. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): The central vocoder (chin detail) shall be molded as a separate piece and is inserted into a recess in the mouth plate. The aforementioned greeblie on the back of each side of the brow band must have the top and bottom lit using LEDs. The top LED must be a warm pale yellow (similar to a warm incandescent bulb), the bottom LED must be red.

Time for the Elbow Armor! Elbow Armor Realistic style elbow Armor. Armor is painted satin black. Elbow straps have a raised detail line at the top and bottom of the strap. Armor has two parallel dashed detail slots on each outside edge of elbow at the strap connection. Elbows are mirror images of each other with a notched area on the outside of the elbow above the detail marks.

Getting a good start with this!!

Right on, I'll update the 1st page listing and we can move to the next piece. I'm traveling for work until next Friday (been going at it since last Sunday) and doing close to 17 hour days each day so I'm a little slowwwwww.

Hello, friend! I'm tagging @ukswrath here as well. Are there any parts of the cords at 90 degree angles? If something was pinched it could have broke a connection.

GML's do basic/L1 approval through the garrison/outpost. DCA's do L2/L3 approval through the detachment. You'd get approved initially by the GMLs and then post up in the Specialist forum with the appropriate pictures to request L2 approval from the detachment. All L2/L3 approvals are only detachment honors and aren't recognized by garrisons/outposts.

I'd be fine for allowing more layers for basic and then less for L2.
