Anything else Gents???

[Griffin-X[501st]]

Looks amazing Dan. I think just the blaster. There is a fellow making some nice ones on the RPF. I ordered one last week. It's black rubber with an aluminum core. It'd be perfect for you.

The armor looks killer and we'll get eyes on the crl in detail. At a glance I havent seen amything out of place.

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

Here are some view of the suit now

 

Front:

 

Wow, does this thing strike a pose.

[Griffin-X[501st]]

That CRL is pretty tight, too. Nice job.

[danrodjr[501st]]

Want is the next step to get this approved and moved toward?

[danrodjr[501st]]

Anyone??

[Chef[501st]]

I think the process might be in a bit of flux at the moment with the new year, new team and the elections going on...

 

I'm sure there are some fools who might be involved in this process at the moment! hehehehe.

 

 

 

But as it stands, this will need to go to the LMO's for ratification.

 

You've got your costume all sorted... check.

You've got a proposed CRL together... check

 

You'll need to grab all your reference material that you have to support the build. Pictures, background source info etc. Let's make this easy for the LMO's and take out any ambiguity for them.

 

I think the DL then needs to agree the CRL (That's going to be part of the new system as far as I am aware, so let's work to that from the start). I'll get that started for you.

 

It will then be submitted to the LMO's for approval. I understand that this needs to come from either the DL here, or your own GML.

[danrodjr[501st]]

Sounds like a plan, I think we should hit Brian Anderson up before the change over of command. I will get more pictures taken.

[Chef[501st]]

I've started a preliminary discussion thread here for you Dan.

 

http://forum.specops501st.com/index.php?/topic/3867-crl-discussion-fo-elite-stormtrooper/

 

 

I've added in a quick bit of source info that I could drag up off the inter web over a cup of tea.

[danrodjr[501st]]

Looking good, Dan. We will also need pictures of the individual pieces for the CRL.
