Freaking Scott Killin it! Looks like someone made good use of the time off from the holiday;) afew things I might suggest 

Chest armor: reading it is sounds like you have written there should be no gab on the bottom corners where the front and back armor meet. This would be incorrect. There is a gap between them on the screen used kits. Also for larger troopers it would be impossible for there to be no gap there on the sides. Let me know if I miss read the description. 

 

Knee armor: there is also padding on the inside of the knee to elevate the knee armor off knee. I would recommend adding that lvl 2 detail.

Afew more notes. 

Knee armor: the rear strap is a black clone trooper style rubber strap (I can send photos of mine). Also the outside edges of armor are smooth with the strap attaching on the inside with snaps or velcro.

Shin armor: the shins are a seemed clam style armor like the rest. It's a 2 peice style with no trap door piece on the rear like the older clones. It has seems down both sides with the outside seem opening to allow leg to slide through. This can be seen in the reference photos and the Adam savage clone video.

Radio: I'll start by saying your radio outline is awesome and I don't think there are any specific details that need changed. The only thing I might recommend is laxing the details a tad. I feel this is very much like the dengar back pack where there are no really good photos of the radio so we should allow alittle creative freedom with some things until some better photos surface. However this is just a suggestion. If it stayed just how it was I think that would be fine aswell.

Chest armor: with reference to the red light cap. I think it would be fair to require this To illuminated since it is shown to be lit in the film. And it would be incredibly easy to install one light in there. Also where the gap is there is a black peice of rubber that goes on the inside to help fill the gap but gap edges are still visible.

Thigh armor: this isn't a huge detail but specifically with the thighs I feel we should require the 2 strap rigging to garter belt. The reason for this is this was strategically done to hold thigh armor straight and prevent rotating while wearing and walking. Since this causes a cosmetic difference to the kit I feel it's fair to require it.

Abdomen plate and belt: this one is tricky. In the films the belt and Abdomen plates are attached as one piece. I don't know that this is something that needs to be required just mentioning it for discussion.

Here are some photos of my shin armor. This is the new style that should be used on the purge trooper. 

 

20231228_075608 20231228_075604 20231228_075557

 

 

Here is my suggested revision. 

Shin armor:

. Armor is gloss black to match rest of armor

. Armor is correctly sized to the wearer 

. Armor is a 2 piece construction with a front and rear part joined together 

. 2 seams are visible down both sides of armor 

. One seam must be able to open up allowing room for leg to be slid through. The inner lip of this seam should be recessed lower to allow room for velcrow to make both side of armor sit level when closed.

. Bottom of armor should slope down from the top of the ankle to the heal

. Armor closely resembles the realistic style clone shin with the added detail of a recessed arch on the lower end by the heal of the armor.

We need one of the CDMs to start working on this project so that we can get this wrapped.There has been no support for months. I'm going to give them a another week before I reach out to the legion to figure out how we can get the support we need to complete this project. This has taken way too long to complete. I know we're all volunteers, but as a GML myself, this would be unexceptable from our Garrison Commander there was this much time between responding to our duties.

I agree with you on the back of the shin armor. Yours is more accurate. Mine was developed by Yosh Studios and obviously wrong. I'll have to modify mine to be more accurate or see if Yosh has newer files.

As far as outlining how a member builds or strap their armor isn't our call and shouldn't be in the CRL It should only contain a description of how each piece should look when the costume is completed and an approval is requested. Also, all references to any other armor are not used in CRL listing outside of clone armor describing other clone CRLs. The Purge Trooper is not a clone and unless the Legion approves this language from my experience as a GML, this needs to be removed.

As far as the backpack. We'll need an image or on set verification of the design. The pack I have was based onthe Hot Toys 1/16th scale action figure. I haven't found any other references, so this will have to be discussed in more depth. If you have any references, that would be great.

Are you referring to my suggestion for the knee armor or my suggestion if lvl 2 rigging? I'm fine to leave out the lvl 2 rigging details. I was just mentioning it incase people wanted to add it but if we don't that's cool. If it's in reference to my suggestion for the knee that strap is visible and specifically detailed, that's why I feel it should be outlined. If we wanna remove the reference to it being a "clone strap" that's fine aswell.

I'm fine to leave it as until more photos surface. Being the hot toys is our only real reference that's what we have to go off of.

I may need to add a second photo for the knee and elbow pieces to show the straps. I think I had the rigging straps in mind qhen I read your update and not the costume straps. I'll have to go back and see if we can make this a little more clear so there's not confusion for the approval teams.

Sorry guys, I didn't realize we didn't have a DCA on this one. I'll have to process each section and sift through it, I'm really sorry. I'll see how fast I can assist.

I hate to rehash some discussions but I'm going to make this a priority costume for me to review with @tipperaryred and @Dropkick. I'd like to quickly go through each item as we can one more time. We can use what you guys have come up with to start, but I'll be active with this for any adjustments.

It's all good. We're happy that we can all work together and continue to keep this moving. I appreciate everyone's time. I know we all have our day to day lives, so anyone who is willing to take time for this is truly amazing. Brent and I have written alot, so I know it's going to take a little while for the team to go through it. Just let us know what you think is the best next steps for breaking this down and how, and when, we can help.
