Hoda

Heck yeah!! Thank you so much!! I totally forgot to send you the completed look. I've been telling folks who are interested in this build to head your way! Edited the parts list so people can find you easier

And check out some of the build threads! I took a pair of Red Kaps and converted it. It wasn't that bad.

Who did your holster? Darman down in FL did a custom one for me

The CRL is updated so as long as you follow that you'd be good to go https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TX_imperial_army_trooper I can't see it easily in your images - do you have a harness strap there also?

Omgsh you guys met up in person!! Can't wait to see the finished product

Nice. Sarah made a version of the badge for me for Sunber specifically. Make sure you ask her for that one if possible! It looks a bit different than the standard rank bar (no line in the middle, a slight rounded corner that's not super excessive like the animated ones). Should also be careful you match the color of your hat w/ the coveralls, as much as possible, anyway!

Getting it done swift, silent, and relentless! Could not have done it without you. Thank you for the encouragement along the way!

And it's official! Thanks to everyone for the help along the way and all the research over the years. Glad to have played a small part in bringing this CRL to life! https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TX_Lieutenant_Janek_Sunber

And now ladies and gentlemen ... for your enjoyment!

I had a chance to take some photos as Sunber yesterday, with edits made to the parts according to the CRL discussions. First time suiting up, check it out! Gonna need to get some Sunber action poses for the next suit-up!

If you are going for level one clearance, you can have both the front and back triglides. See this text - Tri-glides may be present on front or back of the suspenders. If you are going for Specialist with this, I would imagine you can either 1) connect the back permanently, or 2) hide the triglides so low that you can't see them in the photos, but I will let @Blackwatchjump in and offer his feedback on that

Either way works for me! I just remembered that Sunber would be a face character so remembered one of the exchanges @Blackwatchand I had about ... shaving, haha.

Ha, in the middle of scrubbing my floor, I got to thinking. There was something that we might've missed w/ the Sunber CRL - his clean-shaven face! Since Sunber is you know, comic book, I am not imagining it would need to be as intense as Krennic or Tarken, so what do you think of the below? Something simple yet avoids Sunber becoming all scruffy. Hair style Hair is close-cropped. Costumer is clean shaven. I should be able to get around to taking some suit-up photos this weekend for us to look at!

Thanks friend - just got power back. I don't have a kitchen ceiling anymore though and will probably need new floors ... -_-. Curse you, burst pipe!

And ... new belt! Per the CRL discussion, we realized the Sunber's belt is actually a bit different than the IAT in that he's got a regular buckle vs. the quick release buckles we see in the IA troops. So, new belt! I have also updated the pouches per the CRL discussions. I haven't decided which two pouch I would use on the left side (next to the binocular pouch). See the sets of pouches here - Lastly, I added the snaps to the back gas mask pouch.

@IcyTrooperplease check my summary below to see if it's accurate. In the end, there weren't that many crossovers with the IAT. It was the same starting point but Sunber had a few variations. Some "shared parts" with the IAT ... Imperial Army Patch (same) Olive Gloves (for L1. Sunber L1 has an additional bullet on "may have rectangular padding on back) Web Harness (for L1. Sunber L2 has different requirements) Belt (for L1. Sunber has an additional bullet on an alt belt, which is asked for in L2) Belt Pouches (similar language, but Sunber has specific pouch requirements and order) Boots (same)

Alright, I took a crack at getting some photos together. Check them out. https://imgur.com/a/PjUEZoC A few things: Flight Suit can probably use some Photoshop touchup to make them look nicer / more uniform Belt = only the quick release, prong belt = incoming Rank bar = L1 rank bar, L2 rank bar incoming Pouches = included two configurations

I was re-reading the text ... one thing. Since we established it's an SE-14R Sunber is carrying (not the SE-14), we should update the section to include the R as well!

Let's do it! Just pinged you on FB.

Hm I didn’t even think about that. I took a look at Krennic + Iden Versio’s bio for some inspiration and think they ended up paraphrasing some of the bios online, so what do you think about this as a starting point? I just made it up. Description: Lieutenant Janek Sunber, Imperial Army Prefix: TX Detachment: Spec Ops Detachment Context: Star Wars Empire by Dark Horse Comics & Expanded Universe / Legends Janek Sunber is a lieutenant in the Imperial Army. After spending his youth in Tatooine, Lt. Sunber joined the Academy of Carida in 1 BBY where he was recogninzed for his performance and transferred to officer training. Sunber is a dedicated and hardworking officer, and was most recognized for his actions at the Battles of Maribun.

Oh there we go, plain as day! SE-14R it is. Holster Retention style open back holster made to fit the SE-14R Blaster Pistol. A strap goes across the top to hold the blaster in place. Holster is made of Nylon, leather or similar material. Black or olive green in color. Holster is worn on the right side so it hangs below all belt pouches. OPTIONAL Level Two certification (if applicable): Holster is olive green in color.

I think it’s possible because the standard weapons listed for the Imperial Officers are SE-14Rs? I will go back and look over the comics again to see if there are reference images of Sunber holding a weapon ...

This works for me - I do have a question for both here and the blaster section: What’s the differences between SE-14 and SE-14R? I have seen them used interchangeably at places.

On to the next!
