Good Day all,

Firstly, outstanding job with the CRL! I am new here & have a question & a suggestion. When I search for the Belgian Jacket, I only find hooded winter parkas. Are these proper for the CRL? As for the boots, I suggest you look at Easy.com. I purchased a pair of used Soviet officer boots for $75 USD with shipping.

Thank you!!

 

The coats we all used, which came from different vendors but same style, ended up having the hoods cut off and the liners cut out.

 

And thanks for the boot suggestion! :)

Hey there, welcome aboard!

 

To answer your question, at the top of this thread is the line:

 

WARNING - THIS CRL IS IN THE OUTLINE AND DEVELOPMENT STAGE AND REQUIREMENTS THEREIN ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE

 

This is saying that the standards provided in the listed CRL have not gone through the LMO approval process and that it is still a work in progress and may change at any time without warning as further research into the costume is done to create an accurate CRL.

 

Right now I can not tell you with 100% certainty that the components listed are correct, just that those are currently what is in consideration.

 

Over the next few weeks we will be continuing to gather references, as well as post pictures of the components from a finished proposed kit build, that looks pretty spectacular.

 

Stay tuned, we have quite a few folks eager to start building and trooping these armors, so we're working as quickly as we can to pin this down and get it finished.

Thank you for the feedback! Sorry for the mispelling, It's Etsy.com. The vendor for the boots is Antigua house. I too am very eager to make this happen before applying to the Great Lakes Garrison.

Sorry about these following posts, but they are pic heavy with references I gathered around the groups and the internet.

wow that helps! one of the new recruits here linked me the goggles and I got them on the 'bay.

 

Yesterday I saw the new Sideshow Solo figure in armor and cape. The likeness is amazing. I may need to work some overtime for that because its a sweet figure!

I was the one who sat and wrote the CRL with available references and used current CRLs (R1, imperial army, imperial officer, AT-ST, etc) CRLs. A lot of the pieces are gathered from other costumes and that is acknowledged when I made this CRL. I'd like to add Optional Scarf: ww2 GI wool scarf, olive drab. The hot toys shows it plainly visible, the visual dictionary shows it in some, not in others.

 

I'd also like commentors to know this is not for Becket or Val, to alleviate confusion on added accessories, etc.

Is the any way to tell us the parts that are currently correct? Parts that we can check off the list?

I'd also like to mention the lower belt seems to be optional as well. This is a difficult CRL as there are a number of configurations. I'd like to move that belt/ammo pouch combinations be worked in almost like the TIE helmet patterns are. Basically, these are the references we have, you can do those, but a combination of them would be acceptable as well. IE... I want an ammo pouch on my chest but don't want a 2nd belt. or I want 2nd belt but don't want any ammo pouches...

Until the LMOs inspect the proposal and officially create the CRL, we cannot say which parts are "correct" for 501st approval. Only what we believe will meet accuracy standards.
