Here's my take on it: I don't think the source material gives us clear enough view to verify what kind of sling loop was used/how it attached. It could be a QD loop like this, or something pinned in place otherwise. I don't think we should really specify, for now. If we get better reference later, we can always update with that in mind. Good catch on the magazine! I think for me personally, this pattern falls under being part of a real/replica Sterling. Looking at other CRLs, across various detachments, it doesn't seem to be specified there either. ALSO! Before I forget it: Once we get the E-10.5 out of the way, the text for E-11 and DLT-19 options should be super easy to make. We just take the ones from the R1TK CRL and instead of flashlight, we replace any mention with a 3-slot picatinny rail. Link to comment
BigJasoni[TX] Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Everything looks great. I'm going to keep working on these different versions of the blaster and get them out there as soon as possible. Now, back to the armor. 1 Link to comment
TeaJay[TX] Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 The armor should be pretty well nailed down. If things are looking good for this blaster, it's likely time to move onto other optional accessories such as the blaster pistol and its holster. What do you think @Blackwatch? Link to comment

The LMO has not responded but that reasoning is sound. Lets look at cleaning up the back: Change Log 1.2 Back Armor Back plate is painted to match the chest armor and helmet. Back plate has a collar that extends upwards and tapers to the chest plate. Chest and back plate meet at the sides. The backplate features painted details that vary from trooper to trooper. Acceptable colors for these details are either silver or gunmetal, but one color must be chosen. Mix and match of the detail items is not permitted. There are 2 hose connectors located at the top of the back plate approximately centered above each rectangular cut out/greeblie. Hose connecters are painted to match the strap raised slot , strap , buckle and recessed box color. Back has two large cut out recesses with vent details and greeblies inside, all painted silver or gunmetal. The silver or gunmetal paint does not leave the edge of the box opening. The vents at the top of the boxes are painted black inside each cell. may have the openings darkened with weathering. Four raised bars approximately .375" (10mm) long aligned to the top of the recessed box opening may be present. The walls and floor of the recesses shall be painted to match the rest of the armor. Each recess has different and specific set of boxes inside that are painted to match the recessed box color. Light weathering is permitted. Bottom left features a smaller rectangle cut out with the left side stepped. The floor of the cut out and the walls inside match the color of the armor. Half circle indent detail beneath the backpack section must be present. There is a long thin raised greeblie positioned central and below the 2 large recess. There is a small raised circle greeblie positioned central and below the above named greeblie. There is a raised slot on each shoulder for the straps to fit into. The raised slots are painted either silver or gunmetal grey. Shoulder straps are black and are affixed to the chest plate at the buckle. The chest buckle shall match the raised slot color. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): The hose fittings are angled forward. There is a recessed hole approximately .31" (7.8mm) above the top left corner of the left recessed box. There are two indented squares approximately .25"x .25" (5mmx5mm) aligned vertically above the right upper corner of the left recessed box. Ok. I definitely don't want to diminish the awesome work that was done previously on the armor since I was late to the party, but one part of the back armor that's been overlooked (as it was with the Mudtrooper CRL) is the stepped ledge under the main back box. This is from the level 2 requirement for the Shoretrooper: There is a stepped ledge at the bottom of the main back box. Now with that said, the Shoretrooper and Mudtrooper armor are different, but other than the shape of the very bottom of the back/ kidney section, the remaining elements are the same. This ledge is a small piece that amounts to nothing more than a strip under the main box, but since the costume designers felt obliged to add it, we should too as a higher level requirement. Here's a pic of my mudtrooper armor for reference as well as a couple screen caps so you see what I'm talking about: Link to comment

TeaJay[TX] Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 @Blackwatch -- I've taken photos of the various components of my kit and photoshopped out the backgrounds. I did not do my boots as they are currently buried in a sea of costumes in our guestroom due to home repairs from the pipe burst back in Dec... I plan on digging those out tomorrow and fully suiting up in the evening, assuming I can get my wife to take photos. We will still need photos of the helmet/goggles once someone completes those and the rank-bar shoulder bell; perhaps we can use Justin's that he recently posted... And of course the weapons and other optional accessories. Here's the album, I have it set for view for anyone who has the link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1rCI9_phNdunZo9prwVgo3kVRJm7bERgx?usp=share_link If you or any other Detachment staff need any revisions to these photos, feel free to let me know. We'll definitely need others contributions to fully flesh out the different variations to this one. Quick clarification point. I added an additional backplate photo with transparent grills. I have mine cut out to provide shadow/darkness depth when wearing it similar to my tanktrooper. When using a white sheet to take photos, you can see the white coloration between the grill gaps. So use whichever you feel is best. 2 Link to comment
fb501[TX] Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 One thing I would like to highlight for the CRL is the belt boxes are unique and quite different in size from ones we have seen before. They were resin casts and smaller than the Rogue One boxes 1 Link to comment

R1/Mando/Solo/Obi: 75mm tall, 50mm wide and 25mm deep Andor: 67mm tall, 45mm wide and 25mm deep The difference being 8mm X 5mm. Would we want to enforce that small of a difference for L2, making everyone get unique belt boxes that are less than 1cm on each side compared to the HD era films/shows (R1/Mando/Solo/Obi)? I'm curious if the belt boxes are the same for the background performers and the main cast? They are likely the same... For CRL photo purposes, it would be wise for @fb501to provide photos since his are screen used, but I personally don't feel strongly that the CRL should be updated to strictly enforce for the belt boxes to be reduced by 8mm X 5mm unless the detachment would consider a L3 tier. If no L3 program exists, it would be worth updating the description to at least include the range of the unique size that @fb501listed up to the maximum of the HD era films/shows. I'm not opposed to the idea and am okay with it for the pure sake of on-screen accuracy, if that's where Detachment staff wishes to take it. If the Detachment staff doesn't have an L3 program that adds a lot of overhead... so at the end of the day up to them. Is 8mm X 5mm noticeable visually compared to the other boxes from talking distance (6-ish feet)? 1 Link to comment

This question is best answered by Detachment staff, but from reviewing the other CRLs and costume level structure of the detachment, they do not have a L3 program at the moment and one would assume that anything approved by the detachment at L2 would be considered part of Specialist program unless they reserve that specific title for specific costumes. From above discussions noted by @Blackwatch, he will be placing all the L3 text into L2 for the blaster. The original writeup was from another existing writeup, so please ignore the L3 component.

Blackwatch[CMD-DCA] Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Im back, there are times where Im not able to get to a computer for a day or two. This weekend was INSANE, I got homer from work past midnight on Sunday. I was technically off this weekend. We do not have an L3 since so much of our Detachment historically was based in comic books and low resolution game graphics. Our Specialist program is built to an L2 standard. Until the most recent movies, we as a Detachment had no "screen used". Even now most of our development is game stuff. Several Garrisons around the world do not have blasters. The rest of the costume would be judged accordingly. The Specialist applicant need only state that blasters are not allowed per National law. Right now the Engineer does not have, or carry, a blaster, so when I became the CRL model I just photographed the costume parts. That was some VERY low resolution comic art to work from. Im personally not so concerned with belt box sizes as long as we have a guideline. I can add a text line with suggested sizes based on the discussion above and that will be L2 requirement stuff. When I was writing the Del Meeko CRL we got down to splitting millimeters into tenths of a MM for L2 based on game mechanics. I do not want to revisit that. The various vendors are going to supply what they supply, and those of us 3d printing will print at the printed size. Adding a suggested size requirement text will be in line with all other CRLs developed with L2 standards for the Detachment. I have updated the text for the belt boxes and for the back of the main box with its step , that is in the very first post of this topic. On the blaster Im going to take the suggestion for text revision and work it into this update: E 10.5 Blaster Change Log 2.1 E-10.5 Blaster Based on a real or replica Sterling sub-machine gun, scratch-built, cast, 3D print or a modified commercial toy Stormtrooper blaster.

Just for clarification, is the plan to fully enforce the smaller size 8mm x 5mm reduction for L2 and not allow for a range up to the R1/Mando/Obi/Solo (non-saga) option at that L2 option? Should we not provide a range or is the preference the exact size down to the mm? The way it is now written, it must be the exact mm of the smaller than non-saga boxes. Is that what is desired from detachment staff? Link to comment
Blackwatch[CMD-DCA] Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 We are writing the boxes to the same set of standards written for the rest of the CRLs in the Detachment. Also note the use of the word approximately in each of the text descriptions. This will all go to LMO review, and likely kicked back at least once by the LMO based on my experience writing CRLs. If the boxes are smaller than the R1 boxes, then we need to write them as being smaller. If not, then there is no reason to write any of the size description for L2 , and all boxes will just be L1. I can write it as a maximum, saying something like "boxes shall not exceed X Y Z" L2 is a Specialist, and goes through a separate approval process which meets a different, tighter standard. 1 Link to comment

Just for the record, the smaller box info was originally provided by @fb501, I do not want to take any credit there; I was just organizing the info from previous convos on this thread and don't want anything to get lost in the fray. Hopefully folks are willing to provide print files for these different belt boxes. Link to comment
Blackwatch[CMD-DCA] Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 With printing you can ( I mean me, as a printer) scale and size any STL or OBJ file to any size/ dimension needed. Thats one of the things printing excels at. When Specialists applications are received we routinely ask for the item to be photographed with a ruler for the application, to confirm that it meets the L2 spec. I had to buy new parts for my own Specialist approval because what I was approved with for Basic did not meet L2. How do we look on the Blaster, I would like to get this wrapped up so we can get it to the LMO. 1 Link to comment
