This is the part that troubles me. I'm going to try and break this down as best as I can. 1. We have some parts where we can clearly see/count how many recessed lines there and there would be little to know deviation on this no matter how big/small you are. Handplates, boots, helmet etc Other parts there may be an overlap, or we cannot get clear references to count. 2. Combine this with the complexity of GML approval, what can be seen and what would be a reasonable expectation for a GML to count all the lines. If L1 is about achieving the 'overall look', but then: 3. Throw the fact that we don't want members replicating the toys. There are clear differences between the toy and costume when it comes to the number of lines. 4. Consistency - I'm not comfortable being prescriptive for some things, then being non-prescriptive on other things. Consistency will help keep the CRL simple. These are the 4 factors that I try to keep in mind while reviewing the L1 and L2. Maybe we can throw this up for discussion once the whole CRL is up and ready for final review?

I think given the the colour red has a lot of "bleed", most of the finer details will disappear. Especially with photography.

Text has been updated

The modifications look great! Also that was a nice and simple solution to the boots. Well done!

Following the logic we probably need to make all non-visible elements from a distance into L2. No one will ever see the seams from a distance, nor the toe and heel patches with the knurled pattern. I'll draft that up now

Yeah I noticed that the OT boots had been removed

I think there's a couple of things at play here to achieve the basic look of the costume; colour and gloss. The boot is clearly high gloss and the same colour as the rest of the armour, when viewed from any distance. The trick is wording this in a way that we get a perceptible differences, but not an extreme ones. Please let me know if there are issues with the text that is in place currently.

FOTK CRL has it L1, I don't mind pushing it to L2 for Sith Trooper

Updated text

I personally hope the Polish company got permission, it would be great to get the correct finish. We can certainly look at relaxing the rule in the short term if there are no viable options, but would prefer to get the closest match possible. Possible text would be: FO style boot finished in a gloss or semi-gloss red that closely resembles the armor OPTIONAL Level 2: Boot and armour must match in appearance Or something like that

Awesome, locking this thread and marking as complete

Hi all, this section is ready for agreement @gmrhodes13 @JoeShoe @rickyboyblue @ukswrath @Raider

Hi all, I have rewritten the text to separate out what I think is reasonable for L1 and L2. Please review and let's get to the next piece. @gmrhodes13 @JoeShoe @rickyboyblue @ukswrath @Raider

Echoing congratulations on the approval! Such a great build thread, thanks for sharing!

This has highlighted detail is missing from the text. Can anyone help transcribe to descriptive text? I believe the whole brow is quite complex and requires a bit of thought. It's possible we could make some of these details L2.

I think the only thing to update is the type of clip used:

Sorry, I am not sure I understand your question. If you are talking about the costume variation of "Death Trooper Specialist" then that is already a part of the current CRL and is approvable. If you are talking about the SpecOps Specialist Program then currently not. The CRL is being rewritten taking into account what will be the L2 requirements which will for the basis of the Specialist Program requirements. I do not have an ETA on that as of yet, it's a complex costume and there's a lot to cover.
