MbIAT

Having had my IAT approved, I'm looking at my next build and Sunber is an obvious choice as it is so close to the IAT. Different pouches and a few accessories and it's done. Hoda's build is of course perfect, so I reached out to him with questions but the guy who did them for him isn't responding to any messages so I'm guessing he's not active anymore. Does anyone know if there any other sources for the .stls or any makers for those specific comlink/holder and macrobinoculars out there? I can find others, but not the ones in the CRL. Thanks!

Nice find! Thanks for sharing with everyone. Boots were a sticking point for mine as well.

Evening @Blackwatch! My apologies for the delay in responding - I didn't see your post as I have been working on getting the costume ready. I appreciate all your feedback! We (Renegade Squad) don't have a local GML, so the group is helping me get stuff together and giving me feedback on what has been approved in the past. I have a test troop in January, at which point I've been told we'll take all the pictures and submit them to the Badlands Garrision GML for approval. I hear you, jumping around between CRLs can be confusing. Please pardon my enthusiasm! I'll limit this thread to the Comic IAT CRL for now, and when I look to do an Andor/Aldhani version next year I'll start a different thread. I know the majority of that CRL is different, but when I typed the original post I was looking at a kind of "build the helmet, use it for now" plan so I could get my TX designation and officially troop while building the Andor/Aldhani version over the next year before rolling it out at our Comic-Con troop in fall of 2025. IAT (Comic) Status: Helmet - just finished printing (with all greebles), will be picking it up this week. The sanding and painting begins! Interior padding and chin cup also assembled. Googles - arrived Coveralls - ordered, in transit (I live in Canada, so the postal strike is disrupting a lot of deliveries). Patches - ordered, in transit Montana Gold Spray - ordered, in transit Gloves - I had these already from work, just waiting on the spray paint to colour them Web Harness - straps and tri-glides arrived. Just waiting on spray paint for tri-glides. Belt - arrived Pouches - arrived. I got the two cuff pouches for the front and two smaller pouches (to fit the four required small pouches), as well as a variety of other pouches for the back/sides. Hopefully most of them will be good as I tried to stay with the no buckle/zipper theme, but look like pouches a trooper would wear. Boots - The search continues... 100% if anything is going to stall the build, this is the item that is going to do it. Question: What are your thoughts of wearing an officer jackboot (say the style approved under the Andor/Aldhani version, which is commercially available) and blousing the coveralls over top of the boot at the 8" height using blousing bands inside to make them look like 8" boots? (Optional) E-11 Blaster - printing this week, then the sanding and painting begins... (Optional) E-11 Holster - I have a template, will be making it out of olive green nylon to stay with look of belt/pouches Question: for this CRL, is it to be worn on the left or right side? General Question: How important is it that all the components are the same colour of olive drab? I ask because there are shade differences, especially between materials (goggle elastic vs pouch nylon vs cloth fabric vs plastic components, etc.). While I am spraying the helmet (was PLA grey), gloves (were black), and tri-glides (were black), I am hesitant to spray everything. I don't want it to end up looking like a monochromatic "green plastic army man". I'll post pictures in the next week or so... I am just waiting on having all the bits together (as opposed to pictures of me in normal street clothes wearing the different elements. Thanks again for your feedback and support!

Hi! Thanks for the response! I had seen Kessel's but not the other - there was a different vendor list I found, and of course what people had linked at the time they had found them. Not used to Facebook vendors, so I hadn't looked much there. I assume just send them a message with what I'm looking for? From Kessel's: Belt - not found boots - not found From Blackwatch's: Walt's Trooper Factory (website link) - broken (under helmet and patch) Tigg Wol Creations - both down HerotecX Facebook - broken Elvis Trooper (for imperial code disk) - domain empty Elbeco doesn't do coveralls anymore Ebay link for coverall is dead/old (but cutting info into search does yield results) Esty 2" webbing - not available anymore Ebay for Commuter Boots - specific link not valid, and search produces a wide variety of options (not sure which one is (the correct type) Blondo boot - link broken Boscov's works, but obviously needs mods I'm going for a non-Andor version first, to allow me to Troop sooner, and then building the Andor-version as I have time. A few (hopefully) quick questions: (non-Andor version) Is the Montana Gold Olive Green spray needed for approval? It seems a much lighter color than normal Olive Drab (at least in pictures). If all the elements are olive drab and work well together with a uniform appearance, will that work? (Non-Andor version) The Blauer CDCR Jumpsuit has chest pockets that have angled corners, unlike the reference picture, but is on the approved model/vendor list and the CRL writeup doesn't specifically say the chest flaps must be rectangular. I've got that coverall and just wanted to make sure it was ok unmodded. (Non-Andor version) Do the specific pouches matter to approval? The CRL just says "A minimum of 4 small pouches are required, which may consist of any combination of double handcuff, small utility pouches, magazine pouches or other MOLLE style pouches of similar size." So if I used "other MOLLE style" pouches as opposed to the AR tri-mag and other one on the back, that would be ok? Just wanted to confirm before I bought the ones I'm looking at. For the Andor version, can additional items be added to the CRL under optional that are seen in the show? If yes, let me know how I can help with that, such as: Helmet with mudtrooper-style goggles Short cape/cloak like Lt. Dorn and other officers DLT-19 Heavy Blaster Rifle (taken off an readily available Imperial weapon rack (saying to me it was used by the soldiers there) and used by Arvel Skeen during the heist) Thanks again for the response and support!

Greetings Troopers! I'm in the process of building an IAT for approval, aiming for a test troop and approval in January. Would love to do a CRL Version 1 with optional items if I can pull it off in time, but at a minimum CRL Version 2. Staying away from the Andor build for now due to the custom clothing (I'm not that great at sewing) and the amount of armoring to create, but would like to move onto that version eventually. Regardless, I've been searching the forums and am very impressed with all the fine setups you've created. The issue I'm finding is that a lot of the information is several years old, with several broken links, closed vendors and/or items no longer available. I'm hoping someone (or all of us) could suggest currently available items/vendors, and then maybe we could pin that topic to allow new troopers to quickly find currently available CRL accurate and/or easily modifiable options? The belt and pouches are still currently available, as are the patches. The suspenders are always going to be custom, but most can source the required elements for them without issue. It's the helmet, coveralls, boots and gloves I'm drawing a lot of 'not found' when searching. Maybe my Google-fu sucks? Feedback and help appreciated!
