Wompet[TX] Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 This isn't a build as much as I ordered the costume from @Horus on the main Legion boards: https://www.501st.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=114283 First, the Gallery (I'm not going to subject all of you to a whole lot of pictures, but if you want to do it to yourselves): https://imgur.com/a/pmwO62I The costume is well made overall, and looks better in person than in the pictures (I need to stop asking that one guy to take pictures ...) The boots are calf high (I know, they look shorter because of the angle), but I should have paid extra to get them in my size (anyone want a pair of jackboots, Ukrainian made, size 46?). I've ordered replacements from KeepTrooping. The gloves that came with it are army winter gloves that meet the CRL standards, but I substituted the gloves I wear with my Non-Saga Officer costumes. The armor just fits me over the tunic, so I'm guessing it's a default size print, and unfortunately the buckle snapped off the left shoulder strap as I was de-kitting. Fortunately I have a spare pair of flexible straps that I can use as replacements. Link to comment
Wompet[TX] Posted September 19 Author Share Posted September 19 Small update - my GML is currently not approving this costume for two reasons. First, the white stitching in the rank bars: [img]https://i.imgur.com/yUoyO77.jpeg[/img] So I'll have to resew those. Second, the boots are too short ... and pebbled. No matter, I was going to replace them anyway. 1 Link to comment
DoggyDoc[CMD-DCA] Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Welcome to spec ops Gary. You will have this approved soon enough. It is so close. 1 Link to comment
Blackwatch[CMD-DCA] Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Those are great boots but not for this version which is pretty much the same boot used for ICAT troopers and rises to the bottom of the knee. Id be willing to take a sharpie to the stitching and see what that would do. Link to comment
Wompet[TX] Posted December 12 Author Share Posted December 12 Finally got pictures taken while wearing the KeepTrooping boots, and my GML approved both the armored and unarmored versions. And at the same time, I submitted the photos of my Andor Security Trooper, so hopefully that will be approved shortly. 2 Link to comment
