Griffin-X

Coming along nicely Reed! What squad are you in with the SG? I'm in the NTX squad in the DFW area.

Looking good Lance, keep up the great work!

Looking really good so far. You are doing a fine job! The ammo mags are not part of the CRL as there is no real good references of them on a Shadow Stormtrooper. They do look really cool but we'd need some pics as reference to update the optional accessories in the current CRL. You could get approved without them, and add them for trooping if you want. But can't be approved with them on the belt.

Good to see the CRL text on this one. If you need any help, let us know Ty. I think this will be a very popular costume once the CRL is complete with pics. Great work brother!

Really loving the look of this trooper Shawn, nice work!!

Looking really good there Sall!

S-w-e-e-t!

Welcome to Spec Ops!

Great to see you're still working on the setup. Looking really good!

Looking really good. Just a few things to tweak. Do you have the tank stripes present? If not, get those in place. Also, could not tell if the hook was in place on your lid. You could use Velcro on the TD to keep it aligned, or use belt clips like the original. That'll get you one step closer to Specialist level.

Good to have you along for the ride, welcome!

Looks pretty good Shawn, can't wait to see how this turns out.

Looking good Reed! Btw, I've updated your profile with 501st access.

Good advice from our Master Chef. 👍

You look really good and a very nice job on the build, too. This should be an easy approval. 👍

Looking great so far! You must be getting super close now. 👍

Thanks very much Mark!!

The current "Maximum number of images per post" is set to 30. It appears he is using PhotoBucket, so that's good. I think if he limits the number of images per post (space them out into separate thread replies -- instead of one large reply), it'll work fine and look better from a readability stand point.

The Annovos kit is not too bad, but there could be a wait time for it. I'd speak with Walt at WTF. He's very well respected and a trusted reseller. https://www.facebook.com/groups/waltstrooperfactory/

Awesome news!!

As with all 501st costumes, blasters are not required for basic/general clearance and would be listed as "optional accessories". But, we need to nail down the correct blaster stock and look for Level 2 clearance - for sure.

Good feedback and discussion. We'll only have (2) levels - basic/general clearance and Level 2 (specialist). The trick is to balance what goes "where" and what "makes" the best sense to allow clearance to all who want to go for it. As you mention, we want to make it easy for folks to create the costume and join the party. It's not a simple costume so we need to be careful not to make it too hard to achieve.

It's not too bad, but their armor is not 100% accurate. You should reach out to Jimmiroquai on this forum. He's a trusted seller with a really super nice kit. http://forum.specops501st.com/index.php?/topic/4233-jimmiroquai-death-trooper-helmet-and-armor-wip/page__fromsearch__1

I'm praying for your son and your family Andrew. Be strong and keep the faith. God has a plan for everything.

That looks so awesome Tom...
