ImperialPrimer Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Hello 501st SpecOps. I am somewhat new here so forgive me if I don't know the full terminology quite yet. Anyway, I am currently working on building a Sith Trooper armor set, and unfortunately the two primary manufactures for this armor are either no longer providing or are using outdated molds that don't fit the CRLs minimum requirements. I have opted to go for the 3D printing option and purchased a printable kit. After looking at some of the files I found a few discrepancies between the CRL and the files I am using. Discrepancy 1. The back left Should has a requirement of 13 lines going vertically. Where as my files have 12 lines, although its up to the GML to decide if that's acceptable what are your guys thoughts? Mine: Discrepancy 2. The next issue found is with the "Gorget" aka. Neck thingy. The required bit is a three step as show below. However the files I am using have a somewhat rounded or beveled shape to them. Mine: Link to comment
nanotek[CMD-DWM] Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 For discrepancy 1 the lines are approximate, so you’re good there As for discrepancy 2 the gorget, it looks waaaay off and I would look elsewhere or have them fix it up. Link to comment

From what my full images suggested it looks like they follow the standard overall, I might just custom make mine however. Can’t be that hard. Link to comment
nanotek[CMD-DWM] Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Check some of the reference material as a guide, it was a carefully molded component that locks into the rest of the armor. here’s some pics for reference: 1 1 Link to comment

Can’t be that hard. Send those images to the modeller, if it’s the same person I think it is they usually update their files if given new material to make them more accurate. Link to comment
