I went through and wrote the rest of the armor descriptions and took photos and outlined them in PhotoShop. I'll post each piece separately with the photo for feedback. All white text has been read and approved. All red text is still in review and will need final alignment and approval. Approved: Helmet Gloss black in color, consistent with the rest of the costume. Lens must be sufficiently dark enough to obscure the costumer's eyes. The eye lens is one continuous piece with a mirrored red tint. The central vocoder (chin detail) may be molded as a separate piece and is inserted into a recess in the mouth plate or it may be molded as a part of the mouth plate, but with a prominent recessed outline to create the appearance of being separate. The top part of the vocoder is rectangular in shape, with two clipped dog ears on the top corners. A smaller plate of identical shape sits on the top of this panel, leaving a narrow margin around each edge. There is also an angular cut out at the top of the right edge of this plate. A second rectangular plate sits on the top of the first, covering approximately 40% of bottom of the lower plate. There is a raised horizontal line on the lower left side of this top plate. There is a small square recess underneath this raised horizontal line. The main body of the vocoder sits below the panel described above. 9 raised ridges run vertically across the vocoder. Angled wings at the top of either side of the vocoder ridges, each slightly under approximately 50% of the length of these ridges. These wings angle down to the rest on top of the main mouth plate. Square profile side tusks run back from the lower edges of this front plate. Recessed rectangular metallic silver screens are inset into the greeblie in the front of each side tusk. Each greeblie has a raised ridge on 3 sides, angling up from the bottom side of the greeblie. 6 pill shaped symmetrical recessed stripes on each tusk, with the bottom of the recesses filled with red to match the pauldron, belt accessories and left bicep armor. A small raised horizontal rectangle with a recessed line is located below the vocoder. The frown must have 10 raised teeth, with angled recesses painted silver. There is a silver rectangular plate on the nose, between the teeth and the front plate, with a silver half moon greeble on top. This plate is recessed below the angled face plates on either side. The half moon greeble is level with the adjacent face plates. There is symmetrical recesses with a pill shaped greeblie on each side between the side tubes and the cheeks. The top of the greeblie are split in half with the top half being flat and the bottom half having 4 raised ridges that are level with the flat half. There are sharp angular cheekbones sculpted into helmet face plate running in a triangular shape below the lens opening. There are 3 raised ridges run from the center of the brow, over the top of the helmet and down to the rear center of the helmet skirt. The central ridge is approximately 2.5 times wider than the ridges to either side of it. A winged greeblie sits below the center of the brow ridge and above the eye lens. The top of the helmet is separated from the face plate by a horizontal band running above the brow. A groove separates the top of the helmet and the rear skirt, running across the back of the helmet, meeting the brow band on either side. The side greebles (communicators/range finders) are attached on top of the joints between the band and the ridge on either side of the helmet. Symmetrical rectangular greebles (communicators/range finders) with semi-circular ridges underneath, present at the back of each side of the brow band, situated on top of the point where the front band meets the rear groove. The greeblie contains two raised and stacked squares, each with a circular LED or sculpted imitation located near the front, and a single recessed line in the shape of a square outlining the back two thirds of the greeble. OPTIONAL - The top and bottom may be lit using LEDs. The top LED must be a warm pale yellow (similar to a warm incandescent bulb), the bottom LED must be red. There are 2 small pill shaped double indentation in the bottom corners of the faceplate, under each ear. The rear indentation is vertical and slightly longer than the front indentation that angles toward the front of the helmet. OPTIONAL: Level two certification The central vocoder (chin detail) shall be molded as a separate piece and is inserted into a recess in the mouth plate. The aforementioned greeblie on the back of each side of the brow band must have the top and bottom lit using LEDs. The top LED must be a warm pale yellow (similar to a warm incandescent bulb), the bottom LED must be red. Under Suit Base undersuit is made from a black, non-textured material, either one or two-piece construction with no visible logos/designs.

Non-visible areas of undersuit (eg. forearms, center of thighs, waist and calves) do not have ribbed material present. Neck Seal Black with horizontal ribs, fitted to the wearer, and extending from the base of the neck to conceal the entire neck. A bib may extend from the bottom of the neck seal to ensure that the entire neck opening of the chest and back armor is covered. The bib should be made from the same ribbing material as used on the undersuit. Kama The exterior is a black leather or leather like material. The exterior is divided into four large panels. Three small pleated panels of equal height (roughly 40mm per panel) are stacked vertically at the bottom of each panel. There is a slit separating the back center of the Kama that runs from the bottom and stops 1/3 of the way from the top. Red cording runs along the front edge on both sides and matches the red used on the armor. The inner lining fabric has a pattern representing black cogs on a red background (vinyl material acceptable). Inner lining is divided into four large panels that run top to bottom. Black repeating cog pattern covers entire interior. Each row is offset from the row above and below. (each roughly 12-15 mm diameter).

I'm following what you're saying about the fact that the core of this armor is based on the realistic clone design. I'm taking the opposite view of what your saying as my concern. If we say it's realistic clone armor and a member doesn't understand the details in what is different, they may purchase a clone kit and find out that they have to alter or purchase some new pieces to have it meet the approval requirements. If we leave that reference out completely, that removes any risk that may cause confusion. I don't have a strong feeling about this either way, since there are pros and cons to either solution. I'll leave this to Tipperary to weigh in on. I do like the idea of adding in the information about the strapping. I was just clarifying that we try to keep the build solutions open for the member, so they can do what works best for them when trooping. If we make it a requirement, then the GML will tell the member that they have to change it to meet what we outline. That could mean a lot of rework and cost, depending on if they do the work themselves or paid a prop shop to build it for them. On another note, I ordered the undersuit from Keeptrooping and it took them 8 days from the day l ordered it to the day it arrived on my door step. Great quality and it was on sale, so with shipping, under $200.

I'll take a look at what you posted, but don't wait on me to move forward. We can go to the bottom armor and then the move to the center. The only thing we should remove is the reference to other armor. Most people don't have that deep of understanding of the different characters and may not know what the reference is and then have to look it up. We can pick up the writing from the clone CRL and modify it. The other thing I haven't seen in the CRLs as a GML is that the strapping isn't outlined. I'm not sure if this is good or bad since most of us have to look up strapping solutions to know what the options are, but would love the tip o n how it can be done. I haven't seen it anywhere but maybe we start to add a suggestion section that could include more optional information to helping the build like strapping, color match specifications, fabric types, etc. Not sure if that's allowed by the Legion.

Brent, I'm glad to see you're just moving on this and not waiting. I was thinking the same thing and was going to sit down this weekend and write out all of the armor to post. I'll start going through what you have so far, but let's just plow through this and if there are any comments from the rest of the forum, we can capture them all at once. Chest, back and backpack next? Then work our way down to the feet and finish with the blaster? I don't think they have any other equipment. In Kenobi they only carried the e-11d.

I'm good with it. We'll have to have @Tipperary take a look at it. I'm not sure how much we outline the strapping solutions. I've seen this in a few CRLs, but a lot of them don't mention it. Let's move onto the bicep armor and then move to the forearms.

I know that most of the armor is based on the clone, but I think the shoulder bell is different. The clone is more rounded and in a tear drop shape. The image is of my shoulder bell and I've compared it to a number of sources to match. This just allows for the best angle to see everything. Shoulder Bells The shoulder bells are considered effectively symmetrical; they may be worn interchangeably on the left and right shoulders There are two raised ridges that run along the top of the right and left side, down to a rectangular area that connects the ridges along the bottom edge. The bottom rectangle is raised above the ridges. The top center is recessed between the two ridges and runs from the top of the shoulder to the bicep and notches into the lower rectangular area. A raised ridge runs along the bottom edge and angles up to meet the top ridges along the side. Shoulder bell is painted gloss black

I say let's keep moving. We can circle back if needed. We we're talking about going top down. The helmet is done so we can move to the shoulder bells and then go down the arms?

Hey Daniel, I'm uploading a few images of my pauldron and the one from FBFX and then the Hot Toys display to show the 3 different resources I've got to share. Mine: I know the collar snaps around the neck need to be changed. I plan on sewing in new leather to follow more of what we outlined in the CRL. FBFX: Hot Toys:

I went back and double checked the snap color and the small black section next to the neck and agree with you on both. I verified that the black area is roughly 1 inch on my Pauldronand that scale loks accurate. For the snap I was basing my outline on the FBFX image that looks silver. I went back to the hot toys display images and video and it is clearly a flat black or very dark gray, but it's definitely not a shiny black. So I agree that it is black but I do think we should add that it's a flat black snap covering a small black patch. I think the level 2 should also include the strap. Pauldron and strap are made from real leather. Nice work Brent. Now we just have to have tipperaryred review and then we can wrap this up.

I know that we started the discussion on the Pauldron back in July when I wrote the following: Pauldron lvl. 1 Made of vinyl material. Five black angled panel sections of descending size are placed on the front and on the back of base. A black narrow center panel section joins the front and back base panels near the neckline Shoulder panel consists of a large red panel large enough to cover the entire body of the pauldron trimmed with black. A 15 mm silver snap covering a black strip appear on the front and back edge Snap attaches to 15 mm strap that runs under the arm and attaches front to back of pauldron lvl. 2 Black base and strap are made of leather. I think Dewannawanga has a better base outline but I did want to modify the snap information. They aren't black. A 15 mm silver snap covering a black patch of base material appears under the snap near the bottom edge. A single snap is located on the front and back of the Pauldron. Snap attaches to a roughly 15 mm wide strap that runs under the arm and attaches front to back of pauldron. The other piece that I think we need to outline is the small black section on the top of the shoulder between the neck seal and the red field.

I'm glad the picture helped. I do really like the word stacked. If we say something like: three stacked panels fall below the larger panel... I think that would definitely make it more clear.

Here is an image showing the Kama and if we agree on using it as the image that we post to the CRL, I can take the background out of it in PhotoShop. But for now, I hope this helps clarify the outstanding question or gives enough information to help modify the description for the panels along the outside.

For the second bullet, I think we're missing a "no" before the word logo. - Made from a black leather or leather like material with no visible logos or designs. Additional reinforcement patches of the same material cover the palm, thumb, and index finger.

@tipperaryred just looking for a CDM to review our latest outlines for the various pieces that we've discussed and written for the soft parts so we can finalize them and the gloves so we can move onto the armor.

I'm online ordering the white boots now. Finding them with a black zipper isn't easy. So maybe we're okay...🤣 Seriously though, nice catch.
