CRL Discussion - FO Elite Stormtrooper (Complete)

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

FYI - I created a reference photo thread here. I think we are ready for next steps. Stay-tuned.

My build to my elite is like the FO TK where there's no seams I even bondo all the gaps from the yoke and the back

[Chef[501st]]

We're kidding dude....

 

The moulding on that toy is shocking. I can't believe they let stuff like that past QC.

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

Ya, we are just playing around because of how bad the figure is.

[TK 4813[TX]]

The pieces in the bicep CRL picture are the spats between the calves and the boots. Also, on the inner piece of the forearm looks like it is longer than the outside. The inner forearm should not extend past the edge of the outer forearm.

 

I would also add the language for the finn mod to the forearms being acceptable once it gets to that point. That vastly increases your mobility in the arms and prevents the forearms from resting on your thumbs and cutting off circulation with the gaskets on.

[jsin238[501st]]

I knew it hahaha

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

I updated the chest section in the draft CRL to flesh out the red markings more. I am open to any better way to word this, so fire away.

• The chest plate overlaps the abdominal plate.
  
• The entire chest plate is black save for red Special Forces markings
  
• The center-top of the chest plate is recessed and black on the side and upward facing edges.
  
• A smaller clasp greeblie shall be present on each side of the chest, just inside a small indented area the size of the greeblie.
  
• There is a slight groove running vertical on each lateral side of the chest that angles toward the center
  
• The red Special Forces marking runs from the center-bottom to the top-left of the chest from the wearers perspective.
  
• The red Special Forces markings continue to the shoulder strap section of the chest plate, not quite horizontal to the primary markings. The gap between the markings from the primary chest plate to shoulder strapping should line up.
  
• The red Special Forces markings on the shoulder strap section also runs down from the horizontal markings to the inside of the strap.
  
• Six recessed black ovals are on the wearer's right side, left of the greeblie.

I need to add the new pictures of the forearms, the ones I uploaded were incorrect first try. I will add the new pictures tonight of the correct forearms.

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

Sounds good, Dan.

[jsin238[501st]]

So I just took some pics of my elite for my submission should I submit it to my gml or post it here?

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

Please post here for us to see , but you'll need your GML to post it up on the legion forum. If you give me a chance to review here first, we can help make sure once it goes up on the legion forums, it should streamline through.

[jsin238[501st]]

Ok thank you sir! I'll be posting it up soon

[danrodjr[501st]]

I added more red to the lower stripe on the yoke. My GML is not liking the red striping, he did like the CRL. So because of that I added more red and I think it looks better.

 

 

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

What was the thought, that the stripping wasnt thick enough?

[danrodjr[501st]]

He said it did not look like it matched and flowed properly from the chest to the yoke. Can you check and see if its up in the LMO section yet.

[danrodjr[501st]]

I think it does look better now.

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

Matches better with the figure now, IMO. We'll want to update the trimmed images for the CRL.

[danrodjr[501st]]

My GML is asking for more pic's, not sure if its a good or bad sign

[danrodjr[501st]]

My armor is now on the Elite Stormtrooper Star Wars Cannon Wiki page http://star-wars-canon.wikia.com/wiki/Elite_Stormtrooper

[danrodjr[501st]]

And here is another with the Elite

 

This one is from Wookieepedia http://starwars.wiki...te_speeder_bike

 

And is considered cannon by them.

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

Of what exactly? To be posted it needs the equivalent of submission photos.

[danrodjr[501st]]

He was asking for back and sides, so I gave him more pics for back and sides.

[danrodjr[501st]]

Not sure how many pictures I have sent him, but it has been quite a few

[danrodjr[501st]]

Not to mention that they are posted on our Garrison Costuming section as well.

Just had a quick read over it all, looks like a pretty well laid out CRL. I will have a closer look at it when I get time, at work at the moment so probably give it a good look at lunch.
