I'd say that turned out well on the paint! It has a metal look to it, I like it.

That's always a fun time!

FYI, the following text was added to the helmet CRL: The vocoder is it's own separate greeblie with distinct tubes, not bumps molded into the helmet. This will align the helmets with the rest of the Inferno Squad CRLs.

I haven't forgotten about this, work has been crazy for me.

That case fits it perfectly!

I think the part we are seeing is usually the ridge on the chest goes all the way to the neck, at least that is what I'm used to seeing with ROTJ TB's. The bicep stuff looks fine to me. Ultimately, the GML will be the one reviewing it and approving or not approving, so it is good that you are checking with them!

I like it!!

Looking pretty darn good from what I can see so far. I'd see if you can bring the chest piece down a smidge in the front so that there isn't a gap between the ab plate and the chest plate.

I can't see anything that you have missed in that list.

Very nice!! I understand how that feels about making a mistake and the intuition. It is all a learning experience and just think of the knowledge you just gained! You'll also know how to fix it in the future as well if something breaks or rips, etc. and that is a big plus.

Here is a good thread for the Lt:

This list may help ya out:

Nice job so far!!

I have a R1 tank driver that I did and it is the same setup (minus the straps) and what I did is permanently affixed the back part of the extension piece to the back plate and used Velcro to attach the front part of the extension piece to the chest plate.

I can link them into here, that is a good idea.

Here is what I have for the shoulder armor and orange pauldron: Shoulder Armor One on each shoulder. The shoulder bells are considered effectively symmetrical. They can be worn interchangeably on the left and right shoulders. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): There should be a minimal gap between the shoulder armor and chest/back plate. ----------------------- Orange Pauldron Light orange in color and made from vinyl or leather. It must be worn over the right shoulder. The shape of the pauldron looks like a shell with the following: On the side closest to the neck it runs from front to back almost straight with a slight bend towards the outside of the shoulder. On the front and rear there is pronounced curve from the inside of the shoulder to the outside as it rounds out to a more gradual curve on the outside of the pauldron and shoulder. There is a black Imperial cog that may be painted or a decal and affix to the lower corner of the front of the pauldron, closest to the chest armor.

I haven't trimmed fiberglass in on armor but I'd imagine that if you washed it down with warm water and a brush (not wire brush) it should remove it from any surface it is on; similar to removing from clothes. If you get it in your skin then you do a cold shower to close up pores and then hot shower to open them to release the fiberglass.

Since I don't think there are any other things needed for the helmet I can add it to the "pre-finalized" status above and touch back at the end or during discussion if something else pops up. Additionally, we are probably going to need L2 details to make sure there are no visible attachments on the shoulder straps that show how they are attached to the armor. This could be a L1 detail though because modifications are already needed to the chest plate if I remember correctly. With that being said, moving onto the shoulder armor should be good.

That's a nice print and setup!

That is absolutely no problem! We'll get a group together to work on the text.

Very nice update! Just a question, did you have any CRL text started yet? I wanted to ask that before I prep the thread for the CRL text discussion and we go piece by piece.

No worries! Life comes first as well all know ...at your own pace is absolutely ok! I look forward to the updates in the future

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!
