Thanks for creating this tread IcyTrooper. I'll create a post for each item that needs review & possible adjustment. Feel free to adjust posts for final wording & clarity.

I'll add that a lot of the CRL errors that I present/correct in this build, also apply to the Purge Trooper Commander CRL.

Belt Clip & Kama Straps Ref Pic from in-game Mine The straps are free to slide in the belt clip. They won't come off as the leather strap prevents them from moving far enough. I added a hinge to the drop bracket to add some flexibility to setup. The hinge will be hidden behind the belt and (I hope) will reduce possible wear on the cod armor while improving my overall mobility/flexibility. CRL Items: The straps in the game appear to be leather The Belt Clip in the CRL is incorrect. Belt Kama clips have beveled edges.

Shoulder Bell Paint Masking Results Once weather is applied, the small imperfections will disappear.

Bucket is getting closer. Helmet padding and some interior finishing to be completed. Fans are installed. Visor does light up, but I'm not satisfied with the output so I might rebuild the visor. Pics... Note the squared off detail at the base of the helmet dome is a different tone of satin black. This is missing from the CRL. Here's a ref pic with a strong light to illustrate the difference in blacks. Red blocks missing from CRL Note, the "fins" on the vocoder are missing from the CRL. I'm really happy how this 3D printed helmet came out.

Left forearm. Again, the chevrons stop at the triangular shape. Elbow end of the armor has been flattened. Getting closer.

Chevrons on right forearm. Note, the stripes are above the compad and do not overlap. Also note the elbow end of the forearm has been "flattened" to match the in-game model. The stripes stop at the triangular shape in the armor. The painted chevrons in the CRL are incorrectly placed.

Prior to the weather turning I got everything painted. Below are some pics showing my chevron masking. The tape is long to show my visual placement vs the images from the in-game model. Also, the CRL references light grey chevons. I believe they are actually white. In the pictures below they look grey'ish due to the photo mode with a digital spotlight. Thigh. The inner end of the chevons appear to align with a projected point from the knee triangle. Back of the thigh.

It's all about the details. A Purge Trooper's compad is slightly different than standard. Reference pic and my forearm (in primer) shown below. Rubber compads are great for their flexibility, but a pain to finish. Mine, at 80%. Still messing with that small groove. The addition to the side of the compad is missing from the CRL.

Sketch showing the difference between a standard TK Pauldron and a Purge Trooper one. Prototype incoming.

I've got about half of the armor joined together and once all done, I'll post a tape up fill kit to see where I stand. For now, I'll temp you with the fine details of a Purge Trooper knee plate. The knee plate is not a standard realistic clone piece, as it differs from inner leg to outer leg. The outer leg side has straight edges from the central rib, and the plate does not extend towards the back of the knee where the clip attaches. Note where the clip attaches, that the knee plate is a straight cut up-and-down. The bottom edge features a "high-arc" cut in it. I mention this because the inner leg side is different. The CRL is missing the details of the knee plates. The inner leg side of the knee plate has a curved top edge (vs the outer's straight), and the plate protrudes further back towards the back of the leg. This side of the knee plate is actually longer than the outside. Note that where the clip connects, there is a gentle curve in the plate. Also note the "low-arc" cut at the bottom of the knee plate. The top-down view below illustrates the differing lengths between the inner leg side vs the outer leg side. The inner side is definitely longer, which confirms that the outer side has that straight cut where the clip attaches, effectively lopping off the portion of the knee plate that would have extended back towards the back of the knee per a standard trooper. Image below shows the standard knee plate rough trimmed on the left, and a purge trooper on the right. This view highlights the details of the inner leg side. Image below shows the standard knee plate rough trimmed on the left, and a purge trooper on the right. This view highlights the details of the outer leg side. Image below shows the standard knee plate rough trimmed on the left, and a purge trooper on the right. This view highlights the different lengths of the inner and outer sides of the knee. The longer side is the inner, the shorter side is the outer. Note the locations where the clips will attach. The inner has the gentle curve. The outer has the straight cut.

I ordered in a buckle which I have started to build towards the in-game model. Some more fussing to do, but this is the start. 1.5" Brass Centre Bar Buckle Remove the prong Rough cut of aluminum for the small panel on the buckle My buckle is almost finished. Some silver paint and some black felt (so it doesn't scuff on my armor) and it will be done. This was harder to create than it looks. The buckle is missing from the CRL.
