Blackwatch

Neal that would be awesome, we can clear that one (hopefully) soon

blousing a jackboot to just above half its height will work, i just prefer to have the actual commuter boot. We still have Jacks for the Engineer and the Imperial Army trooper for basic approval..however it is my commited belief that since Lt Sunber is in an all green uniform as an Army officer, his boots are green as well, which brings us to the green paint used on the Commuters. We can say only one thing about the Lt's boots--they are dirty! In keeping with best practice, allow the jackboot for l1 approval, bloused down to no lower than 8" of the shaft showing. Rebel pilots do this all the time if they happen to own taller motorcylce style boots, often using "blousing rubbers". I would strongly support Green Commuters for L2 and specialist. This keeps Lt. Sunber aligned with the IAT.

The Engineer CRL will show Jack's because that's what I had when the CRLpics were taken. You'd need to blouse it way down since only about eight inches shows on the boot under the trouser leg anyway. Commuters are required for Sappers and the Sapper is the next step from the Engineer.

Try Commuter

Roger that. After seening pics of yours I rebuilt my pack. new back plate and cut down my boxes. Also sourced metal bands for the mounts like you have. So I will be rebuilding my pack ASAP. Actually I have good weather today and I will paint my pack parts. Im looking forward to being #2!

Troopers I got confirmation that there are hundreds of the patches in stock. I do believe we can outfit an Army! that said, keep two things in mind: This weekend is Celebration and troopers are attending this event. Secondly once Celebration is over and people have a chance to return and get back into the groove of shipping etc, make contact with the seller (Walts Trooper Factory) and inquire--it IS possible an order was overlooked.

i just went through a batch of resin and 3d printed greeblies today for a typical TIE. Nothing like metal

I just postd on Walts page inquiring about the stock levels. Im hoping I can get an answer quickly.

Future Army troopers I am very pleased to announce here that the Imperial Army Sapper CRL has been approved for use. Thanks to @TX-15293 for the hard work and dedication to making this new uniform a reality! http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TX_imperial_army_sapper

Congratulations on approval Neal!!!!! Your hard work paid off bigtime!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my take on this and the other poster with the "red glow" was that it was a fan made poster. I also took the red coloration to be saber glow. I rather like the shape of this helmet, and your print is brilliant.

wow, what great photos. thank you for sharing these with us. I love that you are showing and explaining each step. That is going to help out a lot of people. how did you route down the goggle frame? cylinder cutter and a steady hand?

I have the helmet parts in hand and I am working on them now.

Hey everybody after looking at thanks thing for what a year now, and struggling with my pack issue where the lower explosive charge collides with the back pouch on the Belt I looked at the artwork again and I see that the pouch is present when the for explosive charges are on the backpack but I do not see evidence of the pouch when the lower cylindrical charge is mounted to the bottom of the pack. Neil was able to get his pack on with his ex plosive and pouch. Should we make the back pouch optional if the explosive is used at the bottom of the pack?

That cast metal texture is great. We do that to model tanks that had cast turrets . This is well done.

huh. OK....wow. I never had that problem with the green except when I put it on a vinyl holster I made for m IAT. That was dry at first and got sticky after a week. Its on my Army parts: Helmet, gloves, boots and all all soft harness parts, and has been pretty tough. now, you said Montana Black--I have to assume thats a different formula than Montana Gold we use on the IAT?

Ilike it!

Ok...thanks.

its a bit out of focus, which straps arent you happy with?

WOW so in the video you are in jeans, will you be in spandex under the actual suit when you wear it?

That's what I carry my gear in.......... just like I did in the Army! Love the stencil

primer is on and now my headset is painted

I laid on two different primers today, both a rustoleum product. typical rustoleum primer on the insides and rustoleum2x Flat Grey primer on the oustide which is clearly a darker color. This is for comparison purposes only. this is darker,but in direct sunlight.

Looking at our art, and comparing it to the established CRL for the ATAT Commander, two issues come up which we have previously discussed. 1 Rank--on page 2 of this discussion we agreed that Spec Ops likes its option, that being 5 rank tiles. The ATAT commander, and Veers, wore four tiles. My current thinking before we propose this to the LMO is to reduce the rank tiles to a total of eight, four red and four blue. 2 the silver greeblie on the right side. it is not well defined, its hard to see, and in photos we know that the two lumps on Veers chest armor had three raised domes. Im willing to forgo the greeblie seen only in the character art, for the bumps we see in the Veers images, and on the approved ATAT commander.

Im bumpng this: I made a helmet headset yesterday and I will paint it today, as well as trim.out my helmet. my armor is ready to paint. I would say I am at the 85% complete mark.
