    We want to keep true to the reference images as we can so the rivet is probably going to be a no go. Have you thought about low-profile Velcro or something that would allow them to be able to be moved or hold a bit better? I know that @Blackwatch made mention of the shoulders following something similar to that of the scouts from the shoulder straps. For example, with the the shadow stormtrooper a lot of troopers use a nylon/Velcro "T" strapping way to hold the shoulder bells to the shoulder armor as well as keeping the chest and back plate together.

    I agree with what @RAIDER said minus the snap part, as you have provided the evidence that the snaps are there. I think they can remain silver. If you look at the first panel it appears to be the same color as the bracket, which the bracket is silver in the next panel to the right. I also noticed that your cod strap (with snaps) is hanging down as well ...I have that happen all the time. I think we are good to also start drafting the text. I'm really sorry I didn't respond to this expeditiously.

    This is awesome to see, thank you!!

    I'm tagging @Rat into this post because I know that he recently painted his Crimson boots.

    I agree, the main reference for this was solo so that is what we are pushing for when it comes to the CRL. If we were to identify material differences in costumes we could push an entirely different CRL for those purposes. We have been trying to steer away from the assumption with lapses between movies and costumes, as that is what the Legion has been doing as well, as to ensure that stuff maintains as accurate as it is depicted. Although, we don't let that discourage anything as CRLs are 100% evolving and may be altered/corrected/changed at any time. This isn't to say we can revisit this again, healthy discussion on CRLs is highly encouraged.

    It really starts feeling real when you can start putting most of it on! Getting there!

    Glad to see another WIP thread, they are always a joy to go through!

    That extra reinforcement will give you better peace of mind when it comes to trooping, for sure.

    36 should be for the front and 37 should be for the back with Anovos. To verify that they are numbered correctly here are the dimensions: #36 - 18" x .79" x .06" (46cm x 2cm x 1.5mm) #37 - 13.4" x .79" x .06" (34 cm x 2cm x 1.5mm)

    I'd say that's a good fit!

    You mention one piece, is there a cover strip holding them together or were the seams filled?
  14. IcyTrooper
    Very nice!! Sorry, I've been busy with work lately due to some restructuring. I'm hoping to get back into this one and we can start with the text drafting!
  15. IcyTrooper
    Great job! Aiming to get that first L2!

    Glad to see a WIP thread get started for this! I await further updates

    This update was made to this CRL on 04/25/2021 for the following: Revised the entire CRL to match the structure that of the Novatrooper and Novatrooper Sentinel in both text for common parts, and parts as they differ in color. Added character description. Add the ability to allow for a "slightly weathered" option on all gloss black part of the armor, NOT on the striping "flash". The bullet point on the striping "flash" was moved under the gloss black text. Updated the helmet to allow for tears and traps to be either black (gloss/satin/matte) or dark gray, however, if dark gray is used then there needs to be black vertical lines present. We removed the L2 detail for black tears/traps due to the L1 change. We also moved the holster to optional to match game reference images. Reorganized the optional accessory section.

    I also meant to say that you need to have the positioned so that they aren't super visible either, as the control panel should be what is seen the most: That pic is from the CRL (left) vs your (right), taken from directly at the back.

    I second what @Dropkick said for that extra support. I use Velcro for mine and have loops around my belt to keep it from pulling down, as well as a nice suspender system. You may want to heat up (carefully) those shoulder bells to open them up a little more if they are pinching you or getting caught on the biceps; they may fit a bit better as well. The only other thing is getting that TD a bit straighter. Are you planning on going Specialist (L2)?
  22. IcyTrooper
    Sweet!! I'll copy over what you have from there over to this thread as we go item by item!
  23. IcyTrooper
    Getting there! Just FYI if you are going to do Specialist (L2) the edge of those clips will need to be touching/closer to the end caps.
  24. IcyTrooper
    Thanks for this awesome build thread!
  25. IcyTrooper
    It is good to see you checked that out!! We will take care of the contact with the LMO on that, I believe that we already had the go-ahead on it but I'll verify. Once we get the suit up stuff I'll PM you the Google Drive link to upload the images and we'll takeoff!
