    Much better!

    Darylee, Thanks for the post! Yeah that boot style is considered "Elvis" which under the 6th bullet point on the CRL states "Elvis or Mariachi boots are not allowed." I'm not sure where you are located but I saw that Target at one point (at least the one near me) had Jodphur/Chelsea style boots that you could repaint. ImperialBoots also had the proper boots for sale as well.

    Polyflex is awesome stuff! I used that for my Royal Guard helmet after recommendation from some clones. It smooths out perfectly, the only thing you have to watch is very small amounts at a time because it hardens so damn fast! Other than that, it is great!

    How's it going @Dishrack?!

    Hello! Do you have a picture of the rivet holes? Generally if it isn't visible in the game we try to steer away from it on the costume, UNLESS, it is something that is required for feasibility of the costume. There is also the possibility that we can move it to a L2 detail. If you don't want it to show you may be able to fill it in and smooth over the spot, or remove it and do the same with an attachment of Velcro or the like to provide the ability to keep the sides together. With the snow knee pads we can for sure make that a L1 detail to have the edge and L2 to not have the edge. I'll have to take a look at the material for the suit and straps/belt and see if we can really focus down on the details. We had a huge debate with suit material when it came to Del Meeko a month or so ago, so discussions could mimic that as well. I'll work on getting a text thread going for CRL stuff today.

    Alright so now is time to go piece by piece, starting with the Helmet! Helmet Lenses must be sufficiently dark enough to obscure the costumer's eyes. They are either flat or bubbled. Acceptable colors are black, smoke, or dark green. The “ear” bars have three or four bumps and are gray or painted gray, with a black outline. Painting the bumps with rank stripes (highlighted) in black is optional. The frown must have 7 teeth cut out and any coloring must not leave the indented area. Acceptable colors is gray. Black mesh must be used to obscure the face of the wearer. The tube stripes are blue in color and may number between 9 and 15 per side with the curve bends extending backwards. These can be either hand painted or decals. Vocoder (vertically ribbed chin detail) is painted black. The aerators (cylinders on either side of the vocoder) are black, and screening can be either silver or black. The interior of the aerator can either be white, silver or black. Traps (trapezoids on dome of helmet) and tears (area beneath the corners of eye lenses) can be hand painted or decals. Acceptable color is gray. Rear traps and tears have vertical black lines. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Lenses are bubbled and are dark green. On the ears there is the presence of 1 screw above the ear bars and no screw below the rank bar. The screw is painted white. Ear bars have 3 bumps only, not 4. A black rank stripe is painted on the rear most bump. There will be 13 blue tube stripes per side with the curve bends extending backwards. These can either by hand painted or decals. I used what you had in your Google Drive file with a little reference to our stormtroopers we currently have. There were a few unique details I noticed on the SCAR troopers in the 59/60 issues.

    Nice trims thus far! Must be so cool to be able to go "in-store" to pick up something like that!

    Okay cool! I didn't have the JRS CRL in front of me but I checked and they don't have anything for that, so that makes sense about adding it. I'll see how we can properly word that so that it sounds good.
  10. IcyTrooper
    Personally, I'm in agreement for this for L2. Did you have proposed text for this or is it pulled from the JRS L2?
  11. IcyTrooper
    I'd say these: 11 Silver Metallic for Humbrol or Testors 1146TT, if that is too silvery then a 26 Med Gray Satin for Humbrol. My helmet already came with the silver from Anovos so I didn't have to paint mine, but I think it was really close to a gunmetal gray. @Allan1313, didn't you mix some awhile back?

    Chris, first and foremost, congrats on the approval!! Welcome to Spec Ops (make sure to request Spec Ops access ) Second, this series is something awesome to have! I'm going to pin this thread into this forum for future recruits to have easy access to. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!

    Hello, Berry. That helmet would require a gloss coating to be acceptable, right now it is more of a matte black with nice sheen.
  14. IcyTrooper
    It would be webbing from the top of the chest/back and has a piece that goes out from the shoulders to hold the bicep on. On the shadows we also have either webbing or elastic on both sides of the ab plate and kidney plate to keep them together too.
  15. IcyTrooper
    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!
  22. IcyTrooper
    Glad to see another WIP thread, they are always a joy to go through!
  23. IcyTrooper
    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)
