IcyTrooper

I think I may have some text drafted on my computer back home for this character but I won't get a chance to check it out til I'm back home hopefully sometime next week by end of the week

Yeah they do seem a little large. I'm looking at the CRL pic and the width of the longer rectangular box looks pretty close in size to the indention on the chest piece, or may be a tad bit larger.

Dang! That looks good!

Imperial Special Forces Trooper - Star Wars Legion

PLACEHOLDER FOR IMPERIAL SPECIAL FORCES TROOPER FOUND IN STAR WARS LEGION TABLETOP MINIATURES GAME.

Text and images have been updated to the review portion of the CRL. We will conduct our internal review before the LMO review now.

The above pics look good and I recommend for approval. As for the quoted information that I have in this post. The pauldron should match what is seen in the CRL pic, which is more of an ANH style. I believe the RO ones have more of curvature and padding is segmented more.

@bluebantha Just for record here as a sorts of "pre-approval", but I have reviewed your costume from a detachment level with the L1 (basic) requirements found in the following CRL: https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TX_shadow_stormtrooper Helmet No corrections required. Neck Seal No corrections required. Under Suit No corrections required. Shoulder Straps No corrections required. Shoulder Armor No corrections required. Suggestion for improved look (will not effect approval): May want to see about slightly opening up the shoulder armor via heat or other methods (be careful) so that they don't "squeeze" the biceps which in turn pushed the shoulder bells out. However, over time wearing the costume it may do that on its own, so you may want to elect to do that. Again, be careful because heat can be very quick to ruin a costume. Biceps No corrections required. Forearms No corrections required. Suggestion for improved look (will not effect approval) was taken by you to move the forearms up a bit on your arm. Very nice. Hand Plates No corrections required. Gloves No corrections required. Chest Armor No corrections required. Back Armor No corrections required. Abdomen Armor Correction required: I just noticed that your center button panel is upside down, flip it 180 degrees. [THIS HAS BEEN CORRECTED WITH THE NEW PICS ON 08/08/2022] Kidney Armor No corrections required. Posterior Armor No corrections required. Belt No corrections required. Suggestion for improved look (will not effect approval), see about making sure it doesn't dip down so far on the middle of your abdomen plate and is closer to that center button. Thermal Detonator No corrections required. Holster No corrections required. Thigh Armor No corrections required. Lower Leg Armor No corrections required. Boots No corrections required. Here are the images for the button plate: Yours: vs CRL:

I love your positivity! Your fixes are solid!!!

I'm interested to see the exact feedback that was given. While we cannot approve costumes at the detachment level when the costume is allowed to be GML approved we can also offer insight to the garrison if requested. Personally, I can find no reason why this wasn't approved. Hell, I'd even encourage a L2 submission (when approved) to see where you are at. You can link them to this thread if you'd like and see if they have any other general questions. As @Chaos mentioned, body type SHOULD NOT be a discriminator for the costume. I'm 6' 2" and mine looks exactly like yours and to be honest, we look MORE like the action figures (I'm lanky!) I would do what @Chaos said and get some foam in there to raise them up if that is the gripe. Was there anything specifically that they said? I would advise against selling this kit and try what was mentioned above and see if it can pass the muster. Your kit is good and I have reviewed tons of shadow stormtroopers and I'm a GML for my garrison to boot.

Welcome @TX-13213!

To me it looks like a darker maroon/burgundy color.

Usually it just takes constant little trimming, comparing, repeat, etc.; however, this tool has proven to be invaluable!: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083FBRJPM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Perfect! I believe that is the last of everything that we need.

The case that was used is this one: https://www.etsy.com/listing/614572705/pvs-2night-vision-starlight-scope-case It is a U.S. Military surplus PVS-2 Night Vision Starlight Scope Case.

Well done! Looks excellent!

Very nice, can't wait to see it!

I think once you start getting even more pieces you are going to constantly see stuff that needs tweaking. You are on the right track!

You're definitely going to appreciate the ability to sit down and relax during troops! It is a game changer.

That helmet looks sweet!!

@Fivezero real quick question, is that chest canister gray hose able to be detached to get a pic of it separate from the canister and the armor? That way we can get that hose separately on the CRL.

Looks good! You'll reach out to your garrison/outpost membership liaison now to submit!

Very good job! I can't really see the helmet details but there isn't anything major standing out! These are the only things I noticed: Corrections: The two fasteners on the belt that hold the holster straps to the belt should be black and not silver. The two leather/leather-like straps should be black, as it goes with the black leather scheming we have with it and as the CRL pic shows. Suggestions: The shoulder bells aren't bad, but to improve appearance you may be able to heat them up a little to widen them so that they fit better, but I don't think that should prevent GML approval. Simple things in the correction section. Great job!

Thanks for that! I'll take a look at it with others.

You mean variations amongst black and gray? The ones in the CRL pics above are closest to what you'd see on the TKs. There are others who have more subdued markings (more black) and you can probably find some of those in the various WIP threads here
