Thanks dan!

[ShadowDave[TX]]

Hello everyone - I would love to post this build and the CRL link to our Spec Ops facebook page once everything is official. I'm not sure of the process but it sounds like you all are taking the steps to get there. Please keep me posted on it's progress. I would like us to be first to post once it's approved! You can ping me on Facebook: David Kramp. Thanks.

[jsin238[501st]]

Can't wait I'm so excited for this and today I'll be posting up my submission pictures here

[danrodjr[501st]]

Sure David, and awesome.

[danrodjr[501st]]

[the phantom[501st]]

I have had a chance to look over it and I think that you guys have done a great job, Dan it looks pretty sweet.

 

I do have a couple of suggestions/thoughts/comments for discussion.

 

GENERAL

Should you mention that the finish gloss black or the actual finish that you want it to be? I know it is almost pretty much accepted that is should be gloss but you might get one numbskull to try and submit a matt black?

 

GLOVES

Mention no labels or additional stitching, clasps, buckles etc.?

Note wrist length minimum

 

BOOTS

I know that the TX boots are allowed as are the TK boots for the FO TK. I would like to see them noted similar to how some of the Vader CRLs are worded:

 

TX boots are allowed but not recommended.

If other boots are used:

The boots are above ankle height and made of black leather or leather-like material.

There is a seam down both sides of the front that swoops out to the side of the foot.

There is a vertical zipper on the inside that spans the height of the boot.

There is a black flat sole with no heel.

 

Also update the wording to read black leather not white leather.

Maybe add the FO TK boot image and note indicative for style only, must be black leather.

I know it is a bit of a moot point as there are no manufacturers of the boots yet and I don't think that Imperial Boots won't be making them anytime soon unless as a special order.

[jsin238[501st]]

I know a guy that makes the fotk in white and black boots and its a good thing that that's the one I'm using

[danrodjr[501st]]

Cool, so it looks like minor tweaks to the CRL then!!!!! Awesome!!!! We can do that.
