Ribs are of equal width. Ribs are completely visible between the pouches. Cummerbund touches the bottom of the chest armor. Cummerbund slightly overlaps the belt.

Accurate thermal detonator greeblies are attached to the box. The rectangular part of the thermal detonator greeblie, fixed on the left side of the detonator, is the same as used in the rebel Endor trooper rank badge.

The TD box is secured by one single black tie wrap, covering the side release buckle or velcro to fasten belt, hidden under the box out of sight. For level two certification (if applicable): The belt is made from a one-piece construction with no visible gaps, and not separated with fabric in between sections, apart from at the back where the TD box sits.

If using the Hasbro E11 toy blaster, it is modified to have the correct number of T-tracks (6 total), with a lower row of open vent holes on the magazine housing side. This is accomplished by covering the pre-existing rows of holes with T-tracks, then grinding off the lower integrated T-track on the magazine housing side, and drilling a new row of holes in its place.

splinter[TX] Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Why is weathering no longer acceptable? Link to comment
RAIDER[COTG] Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 10 hours ago, splinter said: Why is weathering no longer acceptable? If you read that in there somewhere, thats a typo. Where did you see that? The opening section states that armor and softgoods may have weathering. That should carry throughout the CRL so if you saw “no weathering” somewhere in the most recent draft (nearest to the end of the thread), let us know where please. Also remember that any updates here dont affect troopers who already har. approval...so u will be good regardless @splinter Link to comment
Blackwatch[CMD-DCA] Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Required Costume Components Special Notes: The armor is gloss, semi-gloss, satin or matte green and may be slightly weathered to look as if white is showing through with minor scuffs/dirt. Armor is made from one of these (or similar) types of materials: Fiberglass ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene). [*]Soft parts may be slightly weathered with scuffs/dirt to match the armor. [*]Blasters are not required for legion membership per our weapons policy. Under Armor it says weathering is not acceptable. but i remember in an earlier version it stated that minor weathering is acceptable to show the white underneatn. thats likely in the current posted CRL. The following costume components are present and appear as described below. Link to comment
splinter[TX] Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Thanks for the reply. It's in the special notes. Cheers for your work on the CRL. Link to comment
RAIDER[COTG] Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 @splinter Thanks. I see it now in the "Final Proposed Version"...in the initial proposal it included weathering. @Blackwatch That may be a typo/paste from the Shadow Scout that needs to be corrected back to the initial proposal. (not the most recent which included the "white showing through"). Probably can just copy that part from Izzi's original post. Link to comment
RAIDER[COTG] Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Would there be any opposition to align the DLT-19x and DLT-20a options currently allowed by the standard biker scout? Link to comment
