Just as a note, measurements are only for reference and proportion basing when they are in the L1 details of the text. Specific branded gear/items are usually relegated to the L2 details as a detachment detail and not a basis for basic approval. Checking into the "Flyye" text, the mention was for what NOT to use, rather than what to use.

I feel like the gradients are A LOT smoother there!

Ahhh, I'm not sure the humidity has much to do with the orange peel at the moment other than it drying too quickly on the way to the helmet. Have you warmed up your cans before application? You can run the can under warm water in addition to shaking it. You'll want the surface wet with paint but not too wet so that it drips/runs. I think the warming of the can will help.

Very nice! I'm not seeing anything that stands out which would prevent approval @Blackwatch and @tipperaryred what say of you?

I agree with this, we don't want to over engineer this. Since we use "can" (although "may" would probably be better here) we should keep it in there. Some users use straps to keep it from flaring out. Since it'll be a can/may statement, it'll have no impact.

Thanks for adding those references on it. The helmet shape and general features I agree look the same. That little outline around the triangle is peculiar to me in that it appears to be a satin gray, but I think that it is just the lighting. I'm good with the text remaining "white" for the outline.

This will be a thread for discussion of the ISB Tactical Agents as seen in Andor on Coruscant. This will be the main listing and we'll tackle each part piece by piece (green is done, yellow is WIP, and red is not finalized): Hat Tunic Chest Armor Back Armor Shoulder Armor Bicep Armor Forearm Armor Hand Plates Gloves Upper Belt Lower Belt Hip-plates Trousers Shin Armor Boots Tactical Vest (optional) Radio Vest (optional) Radio (optional) UNNAMED weapon (optional) ----------FINALIZED TEXT GOES BELOW THIS LINE (THIS IS THE OFFICIAL TEXT FOR THE CRL DEVELOPMENT)------------ Description: Imperial Security Bureau Tactical Agent Prefix: TX Detachment: Spec Ops Detachment Context: Star Wars: Andor (TV Series) Costume description here Special Notes: The armor parts are gloss white, or as specified in each part description, and made from one of these (or similar) types of materials: Fiberglass ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) PLA, ABS, PETG (3D Printing) Polyurethane Rubber 3D Printed parts are permitted but all print lines and other artifacts must be removed. Blasters are not required for legion membership per our weapons policy. Hat Fabric matches the tunic and pants. Base of the hat is conical, with a crown about 4" (101.6mm) tall.

The front closure overlaps left over right and rises from the hem at the bottom of the tunic to the top of the collar. Four rectangular pockets are present on the jacket front, covered by large flapped closures. Lower pockets are larger than the ones on the upper chest. Lower pocket seams rest on the same seam as the end of the tunic The rear of the jacket has a horizontal seam present near the upper back. Two vertical seams start below the horizontal upper back seam moving down the bottom of the jacket. Two black tunic hooks to hold the belt in place are permitted. If used, the hooks will pass from the inside of the tunic to the outside through holes on either side of the tunic at the hip. The belt covers the holes. One pocket is present on each arm of the jacket, each covered by large flapped closures. The top of the arm pocket flaps are in line with the top edge of the chest pockets. Cuffs on the sleeves are about mid-distance to the elbow. The material folds back on itself to form the cuff.

Chest Armor Chest armor matches visual references being accurate in shape and design. Light to moderate weathering consistent with reference images is permitted. The join between the chest and back armor are created by an angled sweep starting at the bottom of the chest armor and finishing at the bottom of the back armor. This may be held closed with magnets, Velcro, or another hidden fastener. There is an indented area around the outer edge of the center flat section. Buckles attach to upper chest plate and are painted gunmetal or dark silver. Shoulder straps are affixed to the chest plate at the buckle. The shoulder strap is white. It is permitted to be made of cast flexible urethane or other flexible material. To the lower left side of the center flat panel is a recessed area angled inward from bottom to top with a raised rectangle greeblie and a recessed horizontal elongated oval. Left of the recessed area is a raised square that extends from the center to the curved side of the armor. On the top left side of the raised area is a raised oblong detail that protrudes outwards.

For now, in this section of the forum. I will create a separate subforum section within the TX Research section later today.

We have created this thread for this costume now:

NOTE: This costume has NOT been placed by Legion Membership Officer (LMOs) at this point. It is not guaranteed to be placed within the Special Operations detachment. Use this thread for the ISB Tactical Agent (Andor S2). Now, that I got that out of the way the trooper type/name is confirmed from the official Star Wars Databank under Sergeant Benzi and Sergeant Gharial:

That is correct, please keep this to the IAT: Andor costume. The season literally just ended, proposals to LMOs are going to take a minute. Right now we are waiting for a CRL system backend update to be completed before any updates can be done to current costumes or add new ones. We certainly welcome discussions on the current season, just don't want to clutter them with unrelated costumes.

That is also a good point, striking placement from the CRL would be a smart choice.

Oh nice! The chest/back is really popping! @RAIDER & @tipperaryred check this out!

Nice!!!

Good text there! I'd say keep it so that the pauldron is under the shoulder straps, that is how Iden appears. I feel like if it is above the shoulder strap then it could cause issues with pauldron end in line with the shoulder seam of the flight suit.

Another option if someone doesn't want to resize the comlink holder would be to use a little foam around the inside to keep it snug.

Good choice on the Novatrooper Medic! We redid that CRL not too long ago to provide updated images, so they definitely look fresh. I'll try and answer your questions below: 1. I'd totally advise you trimming it to fit and then spraying it down, that way it isn't getting scuffed, etc. 2. Those boots do have a bit longer/higher heel and a bit more stitches than you'd normally see. If you haven't already reached out to your GML, I'd talk to them, sometimes if there is a medical reason there can be amendments to allow for certain things on the kit. When looking at your boot picture, it looks like there are two different styles there, but the top one with the more "U-shaped" elastic would be the best bet.

That is an interesting piece there. That could possibly go to a L2 detail?

Who is the maker of the files? We are always looking to update our vendor/parts list.

I haven't heard anything on that yet, I know that @Hoda looked into it as well.

That red is looking sharp!

Nice! I'll try and get this in my queue to launch the CRL discussion again next week. We have quite a few CRLs being worked on that the moment.

If we are using universal boots as suggested TIE pilot, etc., then our text should mirror that a little more closely I'd say.

You can be whatever you want to be! There are no restrictions on height, just make sure the pieces are proportional, which may require some trimming to fit your body.
