Hey there! I'm not sure about those googles as I can't get a clear look. Do you have the link handy?

Thanks for posting that! We can never have too many resources for costume components.

Those boots look great! Can't wait to see it all together.

I don't believe there was any talk about added something unseen to the CRL. Just asking if they were allowed to put the detonators in the pouches. My stance on it, is that I really don't care what goes in the pouches, as long as the pouches can fully close so they don't change the look as defined in the CRL. -iz

Post up your rewrites, and I'll move them into the initial post, brother.

We are suggesting that a nylon holster would be acceptable on the grounds that there are green holsters shown which match the color of the pouches. However, we can not state for sure that the LMOs will agree. The coveralls do however have two pockets on the outside of the thighs above the knees. You can reference the approved IA Engineer CRL for the correct placement of those, as the jumpsuits are identical except for the color.

We will do our best to have it done quickly.

Hey there, welcome aboard! To answer your question, at the top of this thread is the line: WARNING - THIS CRL IS IN THE OUTLINE AND DEVELOPMENT STAGE AND REQUIREMENTS THEREIN ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE This is saying that the standards provided in the listed CRL have not gone through the LMO approval process and that it is still a work in progress and may change at any time without warning as further research into the costume is done to create an accurate CRL. Right now I can not tell you with 100% certainty that the components listed are correct, just that those are currently what is in consideration. Over the next few weeks we will be continuing to gather references, as well as post pictures of the components from a finished proposed kit build, that looks pretty spectacular. Stay tuned, we have quite a few folks eager to start building and trooping these armors, so we're working as quickly as we can to pin this down and get it finished.

Haha! There you are! Welcome to Spec Ops, I hope more of your crew decides to swing by, say hi, and help with the development of this.

It would definitely look cool!

Yes, but that pistol is never shown in any of the comics. Right now it's safer to stick with the blasters that are known to be used by the Empire.

We've had an applicant with a possible approvable build who also did a break down. Let the fun begin: http://forum.specops501st.com/index.php?/topic/5896-new-crl-development-mud-trooper/

Are there Imperial units that carry the DL-18s? I've only known those as really the "skiff blasters."

But we don't deal with ANH TKs. Regardless, there is a panel with a left holster, and a right holster in the comics. So I'd push for putting it on the side the trooper prefers.

Oh yeah, take care of yourself! Heal up.

You can stuff pouches with paper or bubble wrap. They have to have a full appearance for level 2 standards, but they don't need to carry any particular items.

There is a panel with a trooper wearing a holster on the right, so there are no problems with it. Most of the troopers are setting up fortifications and don't even have a blaster on their belt anyway.

Sweet. You've already submitted to your GML then? I've got a PM coming your way, we'll need to process it slightly differently to get the new CRL fully approved with your costume. -izzi

Some one has submitted a Mud Trooper to the Legion for review. The LMO Team has directed them to us for costume comparison and CRL Creation. Stay tuned.

Don't forget about the mandarin collar, when you add the pockets. I'm assuming you'll have different goggles later? Are those the boots you plan on using as well?
