Bummer about missing pieces, hopefully it gets sorted quickly!

Awesome to see another Swampy! Looks like you're. off to a good start, good luck with the build!

Please extend our gratitude to the rest of the team and LadyB

Gonna lock this off now that the CRL is published

The Sith Trooper CRL is now live, please visit https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TX_Sith_Trooper This costume is also part of the Specialist Program! Thanks to @Spiel for being our model, he put in a lot of extra work to get the costume over the line. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the creation of this CRL, it is a costume that has a huge amount of detail and was easily the most difficult thing I have ever worked on. A few people worth mentioning here is @Spiel @gmrhodes13 @JoeShoe @JAFO @LVLAsian @Hask @Bear0902 Thanks to the CRL team as well @Blackwatch@IcyTrooper @rickyboyblue@RAIDER Also thanks to our LMO @ionicdesign for the last push over the line If there is anyone I missed from this list, please let me know and I will update it.

The placement of the decals is the same as the regular biker scout. I found this thread of particular interest: http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/index.php?/topic/21013-rotj-production-helmet/ Looks like you're bang on

looks good! Good luck with your submission

I know Walt posted videos to his timeline on how to assemble his Scout kits, but they are so hard to find! My Shadow Scout is also a WTF kit. If you go to WTF page and search for "Biker Helmet" and then filter all the posts to posted by "Walter Vongher" you should be able to scroll through and find his assembly vids. I cannot find a way to share them so you will have to find them yourself.

@JAFOwas selling a pair of FO Black boots?

The seller is using the ripped Battlefront II game renders for displaying their wares. Without seeing the actual files it's hard to comment. I know from looking first hand at the ripped models that they are extremely low-poly and in most cases the meshes have been simplified with all the details left in the textures. If you can reach out to others that may have bought the files, ask to see screenshots of the STL files.

It doesn’t really go away (the smell) and I guess in some ways that’s a good thing? They really are a great boot and they are comfy. I recommend getting a better insole as you will want your feet to be as comfortable as possible

This looks like a strap to secure it to the shoulder strap maybe? Not part of the commlink?

N00b question, but is the commlink the cylindrical object located on the left strap across the chest?

We are every close, I am still waiting on a few pictures from the model. Items that remain are main pic, belt, gorget, spats and soft goods.

I think you've made a great choice, they are great boots, really comfortable and you don't have to modify them. I had to put some new insoles in because I have high arches, but they are really good shoe. I own two sets of Jereds and one IB, and I always go the IB. Next wave will be soon and they ship quickly!

I don't believe there is any can of worms here. What becomes level 2 is an open discussion with the detachment based on evidence. If everyone concurs that hidden things are part of a L2 or even L3 then so be it. L1 is achieving the overall look, the higher levels are going for the accuracy. So in short, if we start finding things that are essentially hidden, but know that they exist, can prove they exist and everyone agrees that they should be part of the higher levels, then cool. Otherwise it doesn't make it into the CRL and is just something extra we know about the costumes. As a side note, not directing this at anyone, just a general "all social announcements" thing: I think everyone can agree that there is plenty more work to go on this CRL. CRL's are never set in stone and development will always be ongoing and open for discussion, but it also requires work and participation in the development. A significant amount of work was done on getting it to this level (a long way from where it began) and there is still room for improvement. If you want to be involved, be prepared to work and put in the time. We bring people in and out of CRL teams all the time, but you have to highly active on the forums as a prerequisite.

A GML will try to interpret between the text and the picture in the CRL. We cannot comment too much further on this because every GML is different and often overlook certain details. If the boots are a close match to the CRL picture and L1 text you should be ok. L2 text in blue, is Jereds or replica like the IB version. I don't see why you're asking for "sway" when it's already given...

If you purchased the files from Tom he will provide you with all the support you need in resizing, just flick him a message

Thanks for the shout, we will help you as best as we can! It's a common theme, that's exactly what I did, came in Shadow then Rogue One came out, DT all the way from there. I later did the Shadow Scout instead! Look forward to your progress and see where the ride takes you

Mate, you're doing a fantastic job! Really, I love your dedication to this build.

Lumiya has been relegated to Legends I think and the guards you are referring to would be these guys? https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Emperor's_Royal_Guard_stormtrooper_armor For reference Lumiya's guards is in the description for the Crimson Trooper.

Sorry to hear about your recent run of bad luck! Hopefully you recover quickly. Your eyes look great!

I think you were referring to @Chaos stated below: To be honest with you, I would just buy the Imperial Boots because I'm lazy. Leather matching and sewing leather to already treated shoes just sounds too painful to me

Sorry for the extremely late advice but the shape of the centre trapezoidal section on your gorget is incorrect. The trapezoid's narrowest side should be closest to the neck; for some reason Jim's with kit it is upside down. There are other issues with the spacing of these sections, but are ok for L1.

Looking great! I just noticed the extra detail you have added (the white "clip") do you plan on making that a little less protruding? I'll try and find a good photo of that for you, it is one of the details that is really hard to see given that it is so small! Your boots look great btw! I noticed that you said that you applied a high gloss to them. Do you mind sharing what you used? Is it flexible enough to stand up to regular walking? Thanks!
