Change Log 1.1 Changes in Green Removals in Red Strikethrough New text in Orange Detonite Charge The Detonite charge is silver or grey or olive in color and hangs from the scout belt with a fastener that is not seen. The Detonite Charge is a cylindrical explosive which has a flanged base extending outwards from the bottom of the cylinder. The base stops 1/4 of the way up the cylinder. The cylinder hieight is (XXXXXX) with the flange width (XXXXXX) . Mounted onto the cylindrical part of the charge are two square "vent" greeblies which feature mounting tabs held on with four domed-head wood screws. The top of the charge is depressed 3/8" (9.5mm) and features various square greeblies mounted around a central core which rises above the top rim of the cylinder. Inside the depressed area are several rectangular greeblies as well as two silver raised knurled thumbscrews. The "core" has a silver raised cylindrical "pipe" fitting with a groove running all the way around it. The flange around the base has a total of 36 depressions or holes in groups of 9 spaced equally around the diameter. Hole diameter will not exceed 1/8" (3.175") The open area of the flanged base features various designs and greeblies which match screen references. The charge may be scratchbuilt, cast, or high end prop replica. There is a 1" (25mm) red or brown-red ring which runs around the charge where the flange meets the cylinder. There are two yellow or ochre-colored rectangular stripes which divide the red ring into two segments. These yellow stripes are situated between the middle of the cylinder height, and stop 1/4" (6.35mm) above the bottom of the flange. There may be two different designs in the yellow stripes which match screen images. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Detonite charge is made from the games 3d model and matches game references including color and markings. The detonite charge is electrically lit and feature sound effects when 'activated'. The black markings on the yellow stripes match the markings seen in game.

we haven't talked about the demo charge yet. this is from the Prop Arhive database. This is a rebel version, but essentially similar in construction with minor details (tank track not visible on Dels, vent greeblies, color and markings) http://theswca.com/index.php?action=disp_item&item_id=81151 DISCUSSION: Demolition Charge Thermal Detonator A demolition charge and a thermal detonator were sometimes carried on the scout belt as seen in some reference images. The demolition charge, also called a "detonite charge" in the game, is of the "bunker buster" variety. The thermal detonator is the "grenade" style. Both have made multiple appearances in film , notably ROTJ, among others, and these two explosives are well-defined. PROPOSAL: Dtetonite Charge The Detonite charge is silver or grey in color and hangs from the scout belt with a fastener that is not seen. The Detonite Charge is a cylindrical explosive which has a flanged base extending outwards from the bottom of the cylinder. The base stops 1/4 of the way up the cylinder. The cylinder hieight is (XXXXXX) with the flange width (XXXXXX) . Mounted onto the cylindrical part of the charge are two square "vent" greeblies which feature mounting tabs held on with four domed-head wood screws. The top of the charge is depressed 3/8" (9.5mm) and features various square greeblies mounted around a central core which rises above the top rim of the cylinder. Inside the depressed area are several rectangular greeblies as well as two silver raised knurled thumbscrews.

The open area of the flanged base features various designs and greeblies which match screen references. The detonite charge may be electrically lit and feature sound effects when 'activated". The charge may be scratchbuilt, cast, or high end prop replica. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Detonite charge matches game references including color and markings. Thermal Detonator (COPIED FROM BOUSHH APPROVED CRL) One thing I would like to add to the TD text is that the official SW Hot potato game TD should be allowed at the L2 level because it does what L2 requires and meets the visual specifications. Thermal Detonator Detonator is a handheld sphere that is chrome silver in color. Asymmetric latitudinal lines are etched into the reflective silver body of the detonator. Detonator appears to be open like a puzzle, creating a trench around the circumference of the sphere. Three front activation indicators are visible within center band. A light grey ovular and contoured top thumb switch is seen with a raised grip surface. Detonator has the appearance of an inset red arming indicator, functional or non-functional on top in front of the thumb switch. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Thumb switch activates the detonator. Switch slides back to reveal a lit red arming light. The three front activation indicators light up yellow and flash based closely on visual references.

A DLT-19x is an MG-34 with T-tracks on the barrel, a scope mounted on top of mag loader, red ring around the scope, ejection port cover added, and a small disk on the left side, on a real or cast replica of a MG-34 machine gun. The DLTi19 rifle is scratch-built or is a high-end prop replica which matches reference images. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Accurate MG-34 replica base using correct size and proportions, either cast or 3d printed from an original MG-34. The scope has a design specific to the game's 3D model, and has a red ring which matches reference images for placement and size. Scope should include real glass lenses.

Hoses Hoses are ribbed rubber 1.25" (31.75mm) in diameter. There are two plastic (polypropylene, pond hose etc.) or rubber gas mask hoses that run from the helmet ports to the chest box ports. Hose length should be proportional to the wearer. BlasTech E-11 Based on a real or replica Sterling sub-machine gun, scratch-built, or a modified commercial toy Stormtrooper blaster. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Folding stock (does not need to function). No ammo counter is present. D-ring mounted on the rear. Correct style scope. No power cylinders on the magazine housing. Scratch-built, resin cast, Hyperfirm rubber cast blasters have a total of (7) U shaped channels on blaster (all holes on barrel are covered). If using the popular commercially available Stormtrooper blasters, you shall grind off the T-tracks and replace them with U shaped channels and cover the open rows of holes (total of 7 U shaped channels in all). Correct greeblies on the left rear area are present (door catch and two "hammers")

Just a heads up. This spacing issue is absolitely driving me bat***T crazy. I write it out in editor, get it perfectly aligned, then come in and hit save and all jacked up. Ive spent well over two hours trying to fix these issues. The text above is not cut copy past. I wrote each line out individually.

Yes it is. This is an ongoing need.

After reviewing the image of the E11 posted on page 3, the ROTJ text lines up perfectly with Dels blaster. Hoses are pretty simple, they are just hoses. I want to keep this open until Sunday evening so others may comment, but after that point if there are no objections or chanes to be made I would like to lock down the hoses and E11 as final text, then move on to the DLT.

Here is the E11 discussion. The E11 should be ROTJ style. I plan to copy over the ROTJ Stormtrooper text for simplicity, clarity and unity with the rest of the Legion CRL Wikis.

DHKnecht's Death Trooper Armor Build WIP
Blackwatch replied to DHKnecht's topic in Imperial Death Trooper
hi Don good to see you here. Wow, good read and thank you for posting photos. Im reshooting my own Specialist approval phtoos tomorrow if the weather holds out. for Imgur, this forum is pretty easy, and I use the heck out of it. Click the button at the bottom of this window that says INSERT OTHER MEDIA, and click on insert image from URL. When I open IMGUR, I find the picture, and use Direct Link , copy the URL, and paste it into the window that opens when you click INSERT OTHER MEDIA / From URL. it will paste i the window and you can put multiple posts in . Thanks for posting and Ill be watching your progress. . -
Im considering picking one of my builds back up. How big is the WTF helmet compared to the Chef or Altmanns out of Australia?
-
oh boy! are you aright about that. And yes Raider is correct. I was a GML once as well, and it comes down to your discussion with your GML and review of the CRL. We are removing the reference to the Flyye rig from the CRL because the rig is not correct, but it crept into the CRL years ago. If it was me I would make it from scratch, but thats just how I do things. Your GML will be using the CRL as written, until its replaced, which wont be for some time yet. But please post up photos so we can get a look at what you are getting. Also as another note, we are removing silver weathering and replacing that with staining/ weathered appearance. Please check ot the CRL discussion to see which way we are headed for future CRL text.

I received word from Endortroopers that the Imperial Army patch is in production, and we can expect them to be available in the shop outside of a months. So, end of June beginning of July.

I just looked over the proposal, this looks very reasonable. For the charred look, I do a lot of burnt metal on models. You can paint silver, but for scorching use dark blue, as either a stain or wash over the part. Let that dry the apply less wash/stain of dark brown. Let silver show through. With practice you get a great effect. On motorcycle pipes I sprayed clear bue Tamiya paint followed by Clear Smoke through my airbrush, but I dot see the blue look here.
