First nearly-full suit up! Belt and ab boxes are next, along with some fine tuning, but I'm pretty happy for its first time being worn! Grabbed the wrong helmet on my way out of the workshop, oh well. More updates soon.

Update 3 includes corrected colour variants for the show plus insignia on orange and grey pauldrons only, definitely a grey pauldron outside of Thrawns office.

Hi! So I started my TK build back in 2009 and took a few year break and decided to finish this build to seek approval so I can attend some events in the Ohio (US) area. A few things to note… I’ve gained weight. I feel like my head has gotten smaller. I need a new body suit. I have a few things left to do such as: • Attaching the lenses to the helmet • Adding a helmet liner / system • Buying & Adding a mic setup • Figuring out how to buy / attach the thermal detonator with metal clips • Buying a new body suit 🫣 Hope these pics go through. Excited to finish this and get out there to restore the galaxy to order. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello everyone, First of all I am very happy to be here . I'm Marcel, 26 years old from Karlsruhe in Germany. Besides Star Wars, playing the bagpipes is my biggest hobby. My journey started in 2016 with the wish to become a Stormtrooper. Due to a lack of information, I decided to buy an armour from a manufacturer in England/USA that was no longer up to date. I often went to conventions and events on my own and got into conversation with members of the German Garrison. I got helpful links and tips, among other things how to make my armour better and registered in the public forum of the GG. After that, I took everything apart, adjusted it to my size and completely rebuilt the armour with modern strapping. I was on the road with it for a long time, but lost contact with the GG again due to time constraints.' Now, at the beginning of 2023, after the forced break, I was finally on the road again at events, made new contacts and finally found the courage to apply in March. After further extensive modifications such as a new helmet and chest plate, I have now made it and am very happy to be here and look forward to spending time together trooping and everything around it. Over the years i got support from many people, especially with parts from Trooperbay, Marc Opletal from OpleProps and Andre from Ironmotion in Germany. Thank you all, also to the many people who helped me in the Forum, talked to me on conventions and during the approval process I'm really looking forward to events and life in the Empire, see you soon. Cheers Marcel

They are on the wrong arms

Welcome Marcel. Glad you persisted and it looks like it paid off

Thanks bunches. I will take a look. First step is just just finish this way overdue project. Once my items come in, will post some updated pictures.

If the Chimera insignia is present, it shall be a vinyl sticker, embroidered patches or sewn on plastic patches are not permitted.

Here is an alternate version changing up the text to another part of the conversation thread It was mentioned vinyl sticker or painted. painting by habd unless you are that good could look messy but screen printed might work. Again only suggestions. lets bolt it down so i can lock it up anf get LMO's to approve the changes

This is what i have so far. I noticed that the insignia conversation changed a few times regarding how it should look/materials etc, plus what level and what style per level, but this is what it is at the moment as a first draft. Can update text easily for changes as I have the CRL wiki document open. Also i can add a much larger image of the insignia in the CRL gallery attached to the CRL.

How does this look?

Thank you very much Marc! That's too kind ! That help alot against my fears of this whole project !!!

Unfortunately I didn't do a build thread for this one but it was the last centurion approved death trooper

Willkommen, Marcel! Congratulations

Aaaaaand here we go !!!
