It does look correct to me. Our top greeblies match that of the Biker Scout in ROTJ.

Purge Trooper (Phase II) - Kenobi - Discussion
IcyTrooper replied to nanotek's topic in Purge Trooper Phase II (Kenobi)
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. -

To second what @Hoda said, I feel those are good for the costume, but it is ultimately up to your GML. -

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. 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. Shoulder straps are slotted into the detail ridges of the top connection points or attached behind them.

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. -

The Forearm Armor looked pretty good as well, well done on this! Pasting it below: Forearm Armor Painted gloss black. Armor is a two-piece design with a top and bottom.

We'll get to the boot in progression here soon -
Pushing into the Knee Armor, almost there! I did remove the reference to the gray center strap on the main strap, I'm not seeing that it is actually gray. With this strap, I think we should probably specify a material for it? However, I ensured that we have "All details match the reference images" in the right spot so that we can push these images to the main reference image thread. The rest of the stuff I did was just a general clean-up. Knee Armor Purge Trooper style knee armor. Armor is painted satin black. Knees have a raised flat area in front and are oriented towards the top of the knee. Knees bend around the front and connect to black detail clips on each side. The black details clips connect to the strap on each side. All details match the reference images. The outer leg side has straight edges from the central rib, and the plate does not extend towards the back of the knee where the clip attaches. From where the black detail clip attaches, the upper edge of the knee plate is a straight cut up-and-down. The bottom edge features a "high-arc" cut in it towards the lower leg armor. The inner leg side of the knee plate has a curved top edge and the plate protrudes further back towards the back of the leg. This side of the knee plate is actually longer than the outside. From where the black detail the clip connects, the upper edge of the knee has a gentle curve in the plate. The bottom edge features a "low-arc" cut in it towards the lower leg armor. A black colored flat strap, about 1⅛ inches (28.57mm) wide, wraps around the back of the leg. In the center of the strap there is a raised ⅝ inch (15.87mm) wide center strap. Armor has little to no weathering. Any weathering present consists of gray tones.

The Elbow Armor looked pretty good too! I made some stuff align to the P2 realistic clone as the elbow strap appears in the references to be the same. Here it is below: Elbow Armor Painted gloss black. Armor has two parallel dashed detail slots on each outside edge of the elbow at the strap connection. Each elbow armor piece has a black rubber or rubber-like strap that is attached to the inner end of the armor and wraps around where the wearer's elbow bends. Each strap has a raised detail line at the top and bottom of the strap. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): The inside of the armor is padded to slightly elevate the armor off of the elbow of the wearer. -
I figured as much, I think when the color is put into the plastic it probably gives it some strength...or the additive they use to make it clear makes it brittle. Reminds me of when Lego was having QC issues with the red pieces a few years ago That belt looks great now with the color! Glad you had those 37mm weights to hold that stuff down

Yeah the lighting within the show definitely doesn't help us with the finer details it seems. The Hot Toys display image may be a good backup source in conjunction with the toy itself. I'll PM both of you and include the team so that we can get those images sent over. -

@smoszer and @dewannawanga I've seen a few other display Purge Troopers pictures (from Japan?) that were being linked. If I provide you guys with a Google Drive folder to upload them to via a PM, would you guys be able to do that? I can then get them added to the locked reference images thread.
