Looks ok, though I definitely don't know this kit well enough yet to be sure. Shall we start at the top and prepare some text for the helmet to kick off?
I'd be in!

I've found 3D printing files. What do you guys thinks about it?
-
Like @tipperaryred told, they obviously took the helmet from the mandalorian S2 art book. Is that the image in the book? I don't have it, so...

I'm currently studying the whole costume, but the softparts are a struggle.
The undersuit is different on each picture.
On the first one and the second, it looks like the suit is ribbed from the shoulder to the upper part of the forearm. It's sadly really hard to be sure.
On the third ( taken from the serie's propmaker studio), only the chest looks ribbed, the arm is completely smooth.
On the fourth ( taken from the exposition of genuine costumes at the Toy Sapiens store exhibition, thanks Hyuta Nihira !), the suit is ribbed on and from the chest to the elbow.
What I assume is :
- On the third picture, the suit wasn't finished
- On the fourth one, people that assembled the costume didn't fully and properly stretched the suit to the bottom of the arm, you can see that between the biceps and the elbow. They aren't very meticulous since they assembled the belt upside down --'
What do you guys think ?
You can see different shades on the suit. Comparing to the images with visible ribbed texture i think, that every "darker" part of the suit is a ribbed section 🤔

I would like to get involved here. Going to start checking the references

The point is that we don't know which material they use in a galaxy far far away. We can only compare to what we have in our galaxy. I would stay with what we are seeing. Of course it depends on the how it's woven, but usually canvas looks lile that kind of canvas i know. I have a bag made of canvas (there was no more describtion about the material when i bougt it) and well, it looks so much like what we are seeing in the game. I would say "It must be made out of heavy woven canvas or similarly textured fabric". Because we can only guess whats the material. So we are forced to call it "accurate" as soon as it looks like it does in the game. A Level 2 option alsp doesn't make sense to me. Because it is so clearly visible that even in a basic costume it can't be ignored.

Hi Joe,
As far as basic clearance goes, it's simply "canvas or similar heavy material", so no GML is likely to give you a hard time over the exact composition if the overall look is the same - although it is important that there's some degree of rigidity in it, as implied by the "heavy" part.
For more accuracy, an Oxford weave or duck weave canvas does seem closest. We are currently reviewing this exact question at the moment so as to be able to give clearer guidance in the CRL (at least for those going for lvl2 clearance).
If you find any similar materials, feel free to throw up some photos and we'll be happy to give some feedback. I do find my own suit a bit limiting in movement at times (Oxford weave canvas, custom fitted like your own), so I know where you're coming from!
Exactly that!

Yes, sure.
But to be honest. I got my suit from Jim in 2019 and that means that the red and black stripes are not made out of the suit's material.
So, not really accurate anymore.
The material of jim's suit is also described as Oxford/duckwave canvas

Hey there. I want to request a rewording and addition of more specific infos about the flight suit material, because i and @Wingman (the Inferno squad DCA of the JRS) had lots of discussions with others about the suits material. We agreed that we need a little rewording in all the Inferno CRLs. The simple "...must be made out of canvas or similar heavy material" isn't enough to explain the clearly visible texture of the game's flight suit. Yes, it's clear and tight that it might be canvas, but there are heavy and light types of canvas fabric. We (the DCAs of both Detachments, incl. @tipperaryred) think that we should reword it like "... made out of canvas or any similar textured material", because that would leave the freedom of choosing any other material which has a similar texture as canvas has.
Also we have been thinking about checking the best vendors to ask them for possible similar textured fabrics and them to the text.
We could also add some high quality screenshots of the game's texture to help the people with choosing an accurate fabric
here's what the crl currently tells

Definitely not leather, definitely rubber/pu type material. Also is Del's Inferno patch metallic red?
No, i have checked it many times. Its just reflecting the flames surrounding him on the battlefield. Its just glossy vinyl printed on the black webbing

Okay now. Thanks for the patience. Finally i've been able to travel to Endor again and i took good screenshots of Del's Codecylinder Pocket. As everyone can see, @Chaos is right. It seems, that the edge protection of this pocket is made of Rubber or rubber-like materials. As we all know the designers didn't hold back with textures of every small detail and so i think, if they would've wanted to be made of leather they would've added the leather texture too.
As in one of my latest posts i would like to ask @Blackwatch to delete the nylon-part of the codecylinder pockets in the CRL and put the leather-part on its place. Also i have the opinion, to make the rubber edge protection of those pockets a Level 2 option and keep the one with leather as the basic option.
And here are my Screenshots.
(Did some of the other Inferno Members too, so we can compare)
Del:
And so you can compare with the game's texture-passion:
Now Hask:
And Iden:
(Picture taken in the dark light of the "Collection"-page of the game menu, so i've brightened it up)
As we can see, there are some more sewings to see but still no leather texture:

So this piece of leather-not nylon, if I had to guess, is correctly identified as not nylon, however since there is no perimeter stitching around it and only a vertical stitch line that divides the pen slots its difficult to justify that it is a piece of leather as well. It almost looks like it is a rubberized/plastic piece placed across the top edge of the pen pocket and folded over and adhered to the fabric some how, then the pocket piece of cloth is sewn to the flight suit sleeve and a vertical stitch(es) made to divide the pen pockets. This piece is likely designed to protect the top edges of the pen pockets from being worn out by the clips on the side of a pen or code cylinder. Just my thoughts since I do wear flight suits all the time and always have pens in my pockets.
I will check the game again and try to make a better HQ screenshot of it. But you are right, in this picture it looks like rubber. If it turns out that the leather texture is never clearly visible in the game, then we should think about changing it. ?

Adding a screenshot to show you that it is not Nylon ? its glossy because its wet in that cave on Pillio.

Hey there. A mistake has been found in THE inferno CRLs of both detachments. We should delete checkmout the photos please. We should delete tha part with the piece of Nylon and put the one with the leather with piece on its place. The Leather one is the correct.

Hello there. Thanks @RAIDER for mentioning me.
i got mine there. Offering one of the most accurate inferno compads.

Hey.
The ones with a bump are better.
About the pillbox: well, i really don't know why this part of the helmet could be functional, but i think logical and so it could contain a port to upload the pilot's personal data or to charge it ??♂️?
-
I've been thinking about another thing.
Why do we have a functional pillbox as a L2 option? I had that question in mind very often, but i forgot to ask. I wasn't in the team yet as these parts were discussed.
I couldn't find any reference in the game where you can see it open. All you can see clearly that there is some mechanic so it might be able to be opened.
Is this the reason why we kept that Option?
-
Okay. Right. There is not any moment in the game where you could see Del's pillbox open, but there is clearly visible mechanic to make that it can be opened.
If you need any more help with your Del, feel free to message me in private. Greetings

Hi everyone,
I am Jean from the Chilean outpost and I am working on my Del Meeko. Wanted to ask you some questions if it is possible
1-Regarding the over belt, what would be the correct size?. The CRL and the discussion here says that should be about 4 cms (1.5 inches) but comparing the proportion of that size with the regular officer belt (which is between 5-7 cms), seems to be wider (included a picture here, my officer belt is 6 cms). Is it possible to have a 3 cms over belt?. Included a picture that got from the CRL discussion.
This is also because the size of it seems to be the same than the one that is used in the connected belt (also says 4 cm), but the one that I have here has a hole of 3 cms (picture below).
2-Regarding the thermal detonator. How do you attach it, is it attached to the over belt. I have not seen any picture of it, seems to be floating. Would it be allowed to glue / velcro it to the over belt?. What color would be allowed for weathering?. I have seen brown.
3-Regarding the 8 rivets, what would be the best color?, silver or darker?.
4-regarding the helmet. Is there a picture of a functional pill box?.
5-Anyone could share a picture of a separate vocoder?
6-Regarding the patches, was thinking about getting some from Endor finders. I think that they should be more accurate.
Thank you very much in advance for your help because these answers would be great to go to the next step
Jean
Hello and welcome to the forums ? let's see if i can help you ?
#1) i checked out the CRL in this point. It sais that the width of the Belt can be between 51mm and 76mm. And the over belt is 40mm. I would keep those measures if i'd be you. If the belt is just 30mm you probably can get some problems with the attachement. The holes on that hanging box (its from Jim Tripon, right?) Are to small, i know. You'll have to cut them out. Make them 40mm.
#2) for example, i glued some strong neodyme magnets on the belt and also on the detonator. It works pretty good. You can't run because it would fell down, but you can put it on and off pretty easy. But to be honest, there is no "official" way to attache it. Its just important that the way of attachment is invisible. The weathering on every piece of the hard parts should be just scratches. No silver or grey weathering is ever seen on any of those parts, so its not accepted. I would advise you to make it all "clean" just some scratches on the red marks. The scratches on the black parts will come over the years and will look more authentic then ?
#3) silver is best for the rivets
#4) not that i know. I will check that for you.
#5) you mean a screenshot? I will put some in.
#6) i took the patches from endorfinders. They look just amazing. Thick vinyl print on on fabric with vertical webbing. Absolutely Level 2 pieces. Just one thing to know about them: they are not with velcro. So you would have to sew the velcro on their back, which is not Level 2 anymore then, or glue the velrco on the back.

Now second: The codecylinder pocket
As we figured out there was a little mistake about the "There is a piece of nylon strapping sewn below the pen sleeve openings and is the same length as the top of the pocket." and the "A piece of leather or leather-like material is sewn below the pen sleeve openings and is the same length as the top of the pocket."
To make clear that the leather-reference is right and the nylon-reference is wrong (and should get deleted) i'll show you some Screenshots
Well, its clear that this is no piece of nylon.

Okay folks. Right here are my screenshots to proof that we do not need to put the "attaches with velcro" into the text line about the leather stripe
As you can see the leather stripe which covers the zipper is only seen particular and its not visible how it is going to be closed.
just the collar closure should have a velcro to keep it in position
I think we can delete the velcro part from
"The front zipper is covered by a 2" (50mm) wide piece of leather or leather-like material with vertical lines that attaches with Velcro over the zipper."
It shall be written like:
"The front zipper is covered by a 2" (50mm) wide piece of leather or leather-like material with vertical lines"
