Collar looking good and to me the gloves don't look bad. @Blackwatch, your thoughts?

The boots turned out great!

Sweet! I love when packages start showing up!

Welcome back! Sorry to hear about the emergency, COVID has taken a number on a lot in many different ways As far as assisting, we are definitely looking to have many interested parties helping to review the text that is going into the CRL. We are on the biceps now and are going to move onto the forearms next

Biceps Biceps are fully closed. Overlap construction is only allowed for kits that come with the cover strip molded into the part. The inner half of the bicep on each arm at the edge of the cover strip is a darker gray than the base body color. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): There shall be a return edge that is present with a maximum width of 3/8” (10mm) width. How does this look?

Ahhh I should have explained that. @Blackwatch did a solid job explaining it! I do believe that your second bullet point makes reference to overlap construction, I believe? I haven't found any conclusive evidence in the reference photos that it must be overlap. The main reason that they state that the overlap has to be included in the mold is so that it looks cleaner. I'm glad that you brought up the point about the darker inside, I totally missed that!

Biceps Biceps are fully closed. Overlap construction is only allowed for kits that come with the cover strip molded into the part. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): There shall be a return edge that is present with a maximum width of 3/8” (10mm) width.

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. Shoulder bells are angled to appear to float upwards. Alright, I have edited the text to add the angled part to it. Does this look good?

That would be wonderful!

Well done! Congrats!

Shouldn't be, you can just taper that side that doesn't like up so that they line up once they are together with the cover strip. Shouldn't be an issue.

On the new CRL at the top it says gloss black to aid the GMLs from having to discern the proper sheen. If they come to the GML forum on the main Legion page they are more than likely going to be told to match the gloss of the CRL model and part pics.

That is a good point by both! I'm hard pressed to figure out how you could make it stand up and not cause an issue with arm movement. Hmmm.

Updated the finalized text for the Shoulder Armor to the following: 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. Time to move onto the Biceps!

CRL has been updated.

That is interesting, is it happening on the other shin in the same spot?

Yeah generally that is where they are attached. We only specify strapping instructions or guidelines if it can be seen in reference images.

I don't think so, just that they are worn on the shoulders. We don't really specify that on the shadow stormtrooper.

Looking great!

Here is what I have for the Shoulder Armor, should be pretty simple: 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.

Perfect, that was what I was thinking! With that being said, I'm going to update the shoulder straps with the following text: Shoulder Straps These shall be securely mounted in front and may free float in the back. They can be affixed with rivets, Velcro or adhesive. Unlike a regular stormtrooper, there is no front or rear tab on the strap and they must not be present. OPTIONAL Level Two certification (if applicable): No visible rivets are allowed to secure the straps in the front. These shall be glued in front. These shall be held down in the back by either clear elastic or Velcro. Time to move onto the Shoulder Armor!

Depends on how much overlap you have on there or need. I used 1 inch.

Glad to see you getting the start on it!
