Sure no problem i need to prepare it for the 2024 Training day and So ill take measurements of it. Let you know today or tomorrow.

Awesome thanks

We had a troop this past sunday and had the chance to wear the helmet. However I noticed too late that I had the bells on the wrong side. Still the whole thing looks great I love this costume so much, specially because it can be worn 3 ways. Which brings the following quesiton: When will there be a version 3 on the CRL? which is basically V2 with helmet. I also added the holster and Merr-Sonn P5, and the E10.5 sling. Anyways here are a few pics.

I worked on th ehelmet over the weekend and here are a few images.

Awesome thanks

I got a message from him that he cant approve it only remove.

Just got approved on the V1 uniform. What is the protocol to get formally afiliated to the Spec Ops? Thanks

Agreed, I think it might be best to cut from the top cause it's hidden in part by the bells. It sees that's the way they did it.

This is what I will do, the biceps in some of the show characters are shortened (cut). See this image.

yes and painfull, I got pinched several times and even with the thick fabric.

On the Biceps, I glued (e6000) on one side, and used industrial Strength velcro on the back side. They are very tight so I had to remove almost all the lip. They Stay in place but it is a little dificult to flex. They have a strip of double sided velcro that attached to the underside of the bells. I can move freely but it is dificult for me to bend more than 90 degrees my arms. I am thinking on probably cut them a little shorter by about 1/2 inch. The straps are black but look rubbery, so I used the same paint I used on the armor. The back plate needs modification, you will need to add the sideflaps so that they properly attach to the front plate.

Finished both verison 1 and 2 Version 2

I value your work you have put on this, I know its a very time consuming task and I'm greatful of all of what you have done. However I will have to agree to dissagree. Here is my armor painted flat black and on a grass covered floor, it looks dark grey with green undertones, it is next to one of the show and the CRL images. Thanks

Thank you so much.

Id like to revisit this since i'm in the process of paiting the armor. As I've stated before I believe the armor is flat black and here is my case. What we need is a reference of a known object so we can compare in different lighting and enviromental conditions. I'd like to point out the leather belt as that object. Take a look at these 2 images (CRL vs Show) You can also check the belt boxes. In the show the boxes have far more contrast than the one on the CRL. Can we at least add the flat black as an option on there?

More work on the armor.

Worked on the armor this weekend. Cut all the excess plastic from the parts. I was able to complete the bells & biceps, these are ready for painting. The rest is still in WIP. I hope I can finish it next weekend.

I have to iron the suit, put the belt a little higher, paint the belt boxes grey. Its almost ready for evaluation. I love the fabric, the color, it's great.

I still believe the armor should be flat black. For the moment and while I prepare my case on this, I will not paint it. It's imposisble to match accurately the lighting conditions of the troopers vs the CRL pics but here is a side by side trying to match it. There is not enough contrast between the armor and the soft goods. Also take a look at the belt vs armor... On the left side(Show) you can see they look very close in tone vs the right side(CRL). I think this shows the difference very clearly. On the CRL images there is a shift on the RGB scale roughly of 38 points up between the belt and the armor, whereas the shows armor is less than 13. Ill do a better analysis when I get home as I need better pictures to compare, but to me this seems to be good evidence on why its mor flat black than grey.

I was absent because I had lost my password... anyways the only update is that I just got the soft goods from Jimmiroquai last week.

Just got the suit last week. However I have not tried it on cause I was out of town. Ill try it on tonight.

Ill send you a PM. Thanks.

Hey Guys, i'm new to this detachment but not new to the Legion (since2009). I'm starting my build and taking Wasrovv's list as a template for mine. Helmet: WTF Complete Tunic: Jimmiroquai. / Complete & Weatherd Trousers: Jimmiroquai. / Complete & Weatherd Hat: Jimmiroquai. / Complete & Weatherd Belt: Self made. Complete Belt Boxes: Purchased from BaileysBuildDesigns. / Complete Armor: WTF. Complete Shoulders/Biceps: WTF. Complete Gloves:Ravel Gloves. Complete Boots: Leather boots from a seller in Mexico. Complete Blaster: E-10.5 3d printed. Complete Sling for E-10.5 : Complete Blaster: E-11, modded Kenner Complete Blaster: Self made airsoft Power 5 Pistol. Complete Holster: Leather holster made from Darmans Props over at etsy. Complete I will be posting pictures of each item soon. Also, reviewing the CRL i don't think that the armor color is dark grey, so I will be painting mine Flat black. I will take a risk since I trully believe that in the right enviroment it will look just like the show. Update 10/30/23: Version 1 and 2 completed and submited for GML approval. Update 11/6/23: Version 1 approved. Helmet completed. Update 11/11/23: Callingit done. I will share new pics to show off all the updated parts, like the holster Thanks.

I am in the process of building an Army trooper and I do not know why the armor is not flat black? The reason the armor looks greenish/greyish is because the flat black does reflect some light but it also disperses it on its surface and there is Green everywhere in aldhani as well as a cloudy atmosphere. I'm 100% sure that if you paint your armor flat black and take pictures in a green field your armor will look greenish. I will not be painting my armor dark grey. Ill just take my pictures near a lof of green and it will look like the show. #campblack

Hello great work on your suit... I am starting mine and already have the armor set from WTF, belt and boots. Where did you get the Soft goods? Thanks
