I got pulled in other directions before I could start my Storm Commando build, but now I've almost cleared my other projects and am starting some planning on this again. I was reading through the Snow Scout thread about all the hurdles for initial approval. Understanding that nobody could speak for the LMO and it'd be a gamble regardless, what are your thoughts on the source material and approvability of the Storm Commando? (I don't have any experience with 501st approvals, so I'm interested in your opinions) My biggest concern is the inconsistency of the source material out there. I'd think it comes down to picking a source and sticking to it, but at that point there's very little references for some details. I'm leaning towards the WEG reference since it seems to be the most complete IMO, but it has no back view and several unique items. Helmet: The visor seems in general alignment with other sources. The the ears look like the normal scout, but the other sources appear to be consistently squared off. Forearms/Elbows: It looks like there isn't anything covering the elbows but the forearms have armor that isn't supported (that I can see) aside from the SW Databank image (does this count as reference since the official source is no longer available?). Chest: Does not have the indentations from the typical scout and is more squared off on the outer edges, again only supported by the SW Databank image. Cod: Unique to Storm Commando. Also visible in the SW Databank image. Knees/Shins: Shape supported by the action figure (realize that this doesn't have much weight). Partially visible in the SW Databank image but not support the shape. Boots: Plate on top of the foot, or perhaps the lower portion of a spat extending below the shin armor. Only supported by action figure. 501st approval certainly wouldn't be my only motivation for building this, but it'd be great to have the right expectations going in. I think there's be a solid front image to work from with partial support from other sources, though the only back view I can find from any source is the action figure... Thanks!
