Blackwatch

i wear a very similar boot with a simple black sole. Its also a brahma work boot.

agreed, i had proposed leaving L2 off further up. Let is stand alone at L1. There are other costumes that are easy enough to set up at L2 to begin with such at IAT and IAE. L1 at this wold be the stepstone to upgrade to Del and potentially L2 for Del.

welcome Dylan! im at 87.683% done on my del I have made two vests. the first was perfect. I ruined it by dumping a can of contact glue on it. There was no salvaging that. My second, made it total disgust, was not up to par. Ive been talking to Jim this week and sent him a list of changes I want made when he makes my vest this week. Ill be paying for it tonight. He is not quick to respond, just so you know. I bought my flightsuit from him, its made from the correct very heavy canvas and there is no scrunching/ bunching i had him delete the waistband elastic, which gives an incorrect appearance not seen in the games. TBH thevest was not hard to make, just an nylon rectangle with 14 webbing strips and thepouches. The pouches were he hard part and I never really nailed the shape. Even doing the leather strips and printing my own greeblie and the special size triglide at the front of the straps was just tedious, not hard. Good luck with your build. We will be watching and helping along the way . If you could, drop a post in the new recruits section, this will help us make sure ou are getting the levels of access you need.

im printing guards for me and my CO. despite my bes attemtps at Armorsmith the scaling just does not owrk and ive wasted so many hours printing stuff thats wayyyy to small. trust me I ge it.

I do see a single ref pic of del holding a E-11 .this looks like a ROTJ style E-11 with the wierd cam greeblies on the left side of the buffer tube. Nicholes point is very well taken and that is exactly the point I have. I have a new Pilot on the Lousiana Western border with Texas and he wants to go eithe Del or Hask or both. The possibility that the and Nichole (Star-Texas) troop togeher is more likely than not. We see biker scouts Nichole size often because the armor is so adaptable, and ive seen six foot plus Scouts. If we use the term "approximately" it allows us to have that literal wiggle room while mainting standards. Since the vest is the single most identifying feature for Del minus his biga$$ gun, it dominates the rewrite. I propose this change- this is heavy rewrite with all changes suggested above corporated. additions in green. Ill call this Change Log 2.0 Tactical Vest The tactical vest and its pouches are made of black fabric similar to the flight suit material. Heavy black canvas is recommended. There are three M4 / M16 style magazine pouches fitted to the front of the vest, each filled by a rectangular package covered in the same fabric as the tactical vest. The packages fill the pouches completely, and extend above the pouch. Each package has a black gloss strip mounted to the front at the top, which should appear to be constructed from a similar material to the costume's hard armour parts. There is a black block on the right side of the vest matching references, held in place by one of the webbing straps described below There are a total of fourteen wide horizontal black webbing straps sewn onto the front of the tactical vest, with four stacked horizontally on either side of the pouches, and two at the front of each pouch. Straps are approximately 1" (25mm) wide and sewn to match reference images. The main shoulder straps are made from leather or leather-like material, which cross at the back and attach to the top edge of the vest on both sides. The front shoulder straps are attached to triglide buckles, which in turn attach to the top front edge of the vest with a shorter strap. The shoulder straps cross near the top of the back armor box. Each shoulder strap runs through a tri-glide at the rear before feeding into approximately 1" (25mm) wide side release buckles which attach to the top edge of the vest. There is a leather or leather-like waist strap (approximately 1" or 25mm wide) present at the back of the tactical vest, and it is attached to the vest with one quick release buckle on the right or left side of the vest at the wearer's option. This quick release buckle is hidden under the scout pouch, and is not seen when worn. A single adjusting tri-glide is centered on the back waist strap. There is a specific buckle greeblie mounted above the front tri-glide buckles on each side, matching reference images. There is a horizontal strip mounted to each front shoulder strap, several inches above the buckle greeblie. The strips should be made from the same material as the shoulder straps. The Flyye tactical vest is not accurate and will not be approved for use. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): The vest is proportional to the wearer. See reference images and the Costume Gallery for placement of specific components. All shoulder and waist straps are made of black leather or leather-like material. Vest front tri-glides are made with reference to the games 3D model, and are attached to the vest with straps that are approximately 1.37" x 1.37" (35mm x 35mm) wide. Buckle style greeblies made with reference to the 3D models are attached to the shoulder straps above the tri-glides. The front shoulder straps which go over the shoulder and continue to the back are made of 3 layers which are glued, sewed or bonded together. Stitching is permitted as long as the stitches are small and do not detract from the overall appearance. The first (bottom) layer is approximately 1.37" (35mm) The middle layer shall be approximately 1" (25mm) wide. The final layer is approximately 9/16" (15mm) wide. The layered part of the leather shoulder straps runs up over the shoulders and stops below the rear of the collar. It then continues on as an approximately 1" (25mm) wide black strap, passing through tri-glides and into side release buckles, which are held to the vest with straps that are approximately 1" (25mm) wide. The three magazine pouches fall below the bottom edge of the vest. The top of the pouch is in line with the bottom edge of the upper webbing strap. The bottom edge of the pouch may come close to but not touch the top edge of the overbelt.

im in agreement since we see the sllver boot buckle whilch all of the boots come with, and we have been painting them grey/ dingy/ gunmetal for the CRL purpose on regular TIE pilots etc. If this is to be a gateway , all Del parts would qualify, and reciprocate to go to Inferno from Del. Backwards yeah, but thats a toofer.

for edification this the link to the image library Suit- upon review of the physical game piece scrunching in the back of he suit is evident. I think we should allow the WampaWear suit as we know this has a waistband elastic and it does scrunch up like this. This is the only L2 item I see, and I feel we can pretty much omit all L2 references since we are looking at very limited game card art, or physical game figures. Ammo belt-the ammo belt is different as discussed above. I agree with the rationale to allow for a standard TX or Iden/ belt based on vendor accessibility. If an Iden unit is used the drop boxes have to come off, or just get a basic TX black ammo belt, ensuring the three square mount covers are present. The holster IS strange, and it does in fact have longer straps. I think these straps can be black and if you have the long loop style like I got for my Del build. You can just undo one side of it from the Chicago screw and let it hang from the top of the belt. The Iden Versio thermal should work, as should a black TX thermal, as long as it i not oversized as many are. I have a nice collectionof them and the are all different sizes. Anyone printing their own will need to constrain its size to match the rear reference images.

I got to test drive/ sweat in my new Del gloves from Wampa. I cant tell any different from the other four sets of gloves I have. They feel fine and look the part.

i cant really comment on either the philo or the herotec, ive never seen either. It looks like it, so its goign to be up to your GML to approve. we can only approve L2 after your GML approves Basic level. I printed my own commpad using the STL i found. its not perfect, I dont like the way the file is split for ultra small bed (like resin) printers, but it is what it is. I had te pouch discussion today. Whatevers going on with the black pouch for a while the did not seem to be out there anymore and were either giving up a pouch from our other costumes, or dye one of the dark grey or khaki pouches on varioius sites. If they are available now, and there is a need for sure with all the Sandies being built as well as Del and Sappers, someone will make them.

ive got jim tripons flex stuff, it breaks....so be forewarned. Theres got to be a better way to make this collar.

i dont have that particular file, otherwise id help out Its not part of the ukmudtrooper files?

Matt it would help if we had pics of what your armor looks like. The real armor was overlapping, and quite curved. on page 9 of our discussioun when we created the crl you can see part of the curve, and when the trooper flips you can see it pretty well where the parts of the front and back split apart at the velcro. Midway down page 5 you cna see inside of Bigjasoni's armor and see how he bridges his parts.

Small update today, i made my Inferno patches. I used twill cut from an old pair of coveralls, vertically oriented the weave, cut my patch logos from a pattern I bought on Etsy and ironed them to the twill. I doubled up on the twill, so there is a double layer giving it some thickness.

talk to Jim Tripon. Im super happy with mine. it will almost stand up on its own. The way the CRL is written (and currently under rewrite) is to have the canvas heavy and structured. The Tripon suit is both.

ive just had another thought, something to consider. There is a leather or leather-like waist strap (approximately 1" or 25mm wide) present at the back of the tactical vest, and it is attached to the vest with one quick release buckle on the right or left side of the vest at the wearer's option. This quick release buckle is hidden under the scout pouch, and is not seen when worn. A single adjusting tri-glide is centered on the back waist strap. L2 option: The back waist strap has a single quick release buckle mounted to the right side of the vest using a strap that is approximately 1" (25mm) wide. We lose a line of text, and the wearer still gets the option.
