IcyTrooper

Thanks, Chris! This is a good pinned topic as well

Scott, sorry for the delay. This has been one of those rare times that every single CRL staff member has been tied up in their life duties. I'll dive into this as well and get up-to-speed to push forward. Thanks for the patience

That is interesting, I do agree that it looks tight in the pictures. I'm not sure that that just isn't a product of the animated style of Rebels. I did pull up a TIE fighter pilot and it looked somewhat similar, pretty form-fitting but perhaps a little larger. One thing we also have to consider is that the arms appear to have pleating on them or rows of stitching. It is more evident on the pictures of the "grunts" but I do see it in a few of the other pictures of Gar Saxon. Here is Sabine as a TIE pilot with the fitting arms: Also, on the brief topic of the soles. In this shot, Gar's boots appear to have a beige/tan sole: and You may have to click it to enlarge it.

Take care of that rancor!

Thanks for the tutorial! I have pinned this.

Looking forward to the application!

Very nice!

Here is the proposed text by @TK 21814 for the Shoulder Armor: Shoulder Armor Purge Trooper style shoulder armor. Shoulders are tear drop in shape with all rounded edges. Armor is painted satin black. Each shoulder has a red Imperial Cog emblem. Armor has little to no weathering. Any weathering present consists of grey tones.

This finalized text for the Pauldron was added to the first post: Pauldron A black pauldron made of leather or a leather-like material, worn over the right shoulder. There are six vertical panels at the front, and six at the rear. On the right side of the trooper, these are joined by the main, largest panel of the pauldron over the right shoulder. On the left side, these are joined by a smaller inverted trapezoid panel at the side of the neck. The pauldron has hems of the same leather or leather like material running around the full inside and outside circumferences of the pauldron. The main shoulder area of the pauldron is black. A black strap runs under the right arm, attached to the front and back of the pauldron at the points where the front and back ribs meet the largest panel of the pauldron. Strap is attached to the front and the back using a gunmetal popper or rivet. A black strap, made from leather or leather-like material, extends from the front left corner, under the left arm and attaches at the back left corner. Attachment is out of sight, under the pauldron. The strap has a buckle attached under the left armpit that resembles a ratchet-strap, as per the reference image. Three ammo cartridges are attached to the strap over the chest. Each cartridge has a raised U-shaped profile at the bottom, and a recessed rectangular notch in the center of the top. We can move to the shoulder armor!

@BigJasoni you made some very good points with this. I appreciate the extra information in this and the deeper dive (along with other members here) on the tunic and trousers part of this costume. It is definitely worth exploring the "oil" or "waxy" look that is described.

Dang, that might be pretty sweet without painting Almost like the Boba Fett in the cartoon!

That is sick!!

Do you have a render pic of the left side of the helmet? I'm not seeing that center line that is on that ear cap from the rear-quarter view.

This is very unique! I like the backstory on it! Having played the tabletop miniature games Star Wars Armada and Star Wars X-Wing it is cool to see the Jumpmaster 5000 name get used!

Stay on target!

As everyone is aware, CRLs are living and breathing documents and are subject to change based on new information discovered. However, I want to err caution going forward on edits to entirely separate CRLs without running them in a separate thread for update. I may be wrong on a few points, but it is my understanding that the helmets from the IAT: Andor costume were repurposed for use on the Imperial Security Trooper as we are working on here. Wouldn't the details be very similar or if not the same, absent obvious color changes? I'm not saying stuff needs to be identical, but just cautioning massive changes to things unless there is very specific evidence that suggests otherwise.

Right on! Can't wait to see that approval post!

Yeah, I think unless we get anything more concrete it is going to be hard to present to the LMOs on inclusion as a costume.

The humidity is really high where I live during this time of the year, so painting is usually not viable most of the days outside. I don't have a paint booth setup in my basement due to the fumes and such, but I did get drop cloths just in case. The last time I spray painted down there I got it everywhere because I'm an idiot and that stuff floated for like a day

I'm good with it and to move to the next item

At first glance it looks like most of it is good. The only thing we'd have to see while printing is the tears under the eyes that appear on the CRL image but not on this print and the vertical bar on the back of the helmet doesn't have the ridges. The ridges would be easy enough to add though.

I can't remember if WTF kits are acrylic capped ABS to give it the gloss, but I know that some kits out there are. Either way, in order to promote adhesion of the primer you'll at least want to clean it up with soap/water or mineral spirits (make sure stuff DOES NOT have acetone in it) and then scuff it with some real high grit sand paper either dry or wet. After the primer is set then you can do the actual color spray on it to give it the satin or matte finish. Personally, I converted an all white Anovos stormtrooper over to an Incinerator Trooper with the red stripes and I did not prime underneath it and so far the paint is sticking. I did, however, clean it up very well to ensure that it stuck. The kit was also very worn so the surface was already a bit rough through natural wear.

I ran through this and it appears to be all good from what I can see. I adjusted the color of the main shoulder area to black as I agree with your assessment of it.

Sorry, I didn't meant to miss this initial post! The helmet text being yellow just means that that is the current step were on for drafting the CRL. I do see that you are on your way with designing the helmet in the below post! I like it thus far!

Thanks for typing that up, here are a few answers or things to ponder! : Material type - I had derived the cotton or cotton blend from the BHG Super Commando Captain (https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:MW_Supercommando-Captain) since that was another animated series (Clone Wars vs Rebels); but if we think it could be described better I'm all for that! Flight suit color - I'm good with wording it a bit darker than the white armor, like a gray color? I can definitely tell it is darker, I may have copied that over from the grunt one, but I can't remember since it was like 2020 when I had wrote it. The rest of it looks good to me!
