Armorer Rocker Patches As stated in the newsletter, I'm happy to announce rocker patches for the Armorer Program. There is currently just the one patch, and members are eligible to receive two of them once they reach Level 2, "Armorer", These patches were designed, bought and paid for by @TheRascalKing, and he is graciously donated them to the detachment to help recognize those that go above and beyond to help other Troopers build their armor. Our Thanks to Justin for doing this, and I hope this will help us promote this program and get more members excited about "Troopers helping Troopers" not only build the ranks of FISD, but also help us with the Advance to 1500! If you would like to request your rocker(s), you can contact me, or Justin directly and we will get you squared away. Approved Armorer's are allowed 2 patches and will just have to pay for shipping.

Interesting wrap, appears to be ribbed

Superseded by WIP Last Update 20/07/2024 First detailed draft: CRL Introduction for the Night Trooper Stormtrooper, ''Night Trooper ''TK'' Ahsoka: Season 1 The Night Troopers were stormtroopers who served Grand Admiral Thrawn during his exile on the planet Peridea. They were stationed aboard the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer Chimaera under the command of Captain Enoch. Night Troopers were all energized by the magic of the Great Mothers, granting them the ability to rise from the dead as reanimated corpses once the living trooper was deceased. This gave them an inhuman level of persistence, making them a truly formidable undead force. Helmet Traps (trapezoids on dome of helmet) and tears (area beneath the corners of eye lenses) are gray. Rear traps and tears have engraved vertical black lines. Lenses can be flat material, green in color, sufficiently dark enough to obscure the costumer's eyes. The “ear” bars are gray or painted gray, with the largest bar oval cutout painted black. Frown is painted gray and does not leave the teeth area. The space between the 8 teeth is hollow and backed with Black or Dark gray wire screen mesh. Tube stripes are medium blue, numbering 12 per side. The stripes are straight, not curved like ANH. Vocoder (vertically ribbed chin detail) is painted black. Aerators/Hovi mix tips (cylinders on either side of the vocoder) have a black exterior and silver in color screen mesh. Tears and traps may not be hand-painted. Tube stripes are recessed, and the recessed section painted blue or backed by blue mesh. Helmet shall have light to medium weathering as per references. The helmet can be white, contain a gray section or be completely gray as per reference's builder's discretion on how this composition looks is allowable. The helmet must contain the gold cracking (Kintsugi) effect. Paint pens or hand painted cracking to the surface is allowable. The cracking designs are up to the builder's discretion, as there are multiple references to work off. Red wrapping through eye sockets, teeth gaps or vents, as per references if desired. No head band or bandanna style wrapping is allowable. Note: The helmet is accurate in detail and proportion to official references. Many commercially available helmets or those considered disproportionate in size or shape are ineligible. The Black Series helmet is approvable if modified to meet the level 1 CRLs.| OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Lenses have a very slight curve and are convex in style. Flat lenses and ANH style bubble lenses are not permissible. Rank bar area on ear must be of the correct RO style and pattern, no ANH style ear bumps allowed. Head opening has black trim running all along the edge. Brow trim should be positioned ¼" above the eyes. Ear screws must not have a visible slot mark and be flush to the ear. Any gap between the ears and helmet will only appear to be a seam, not any bigger. Correct 'Hovi mic' aerator tips. Cracking (Kintsugi) effect, must be created using a Dremel or similar tool into the surface, gold colored paint or paint pens can be used to fill in the cracking. Chin section has a well-defined seam from the angles of the mouth. OPTIONAL Level three certification (if applicable) The Tube stripes are completely hollowed out, with a blue section underneath. Vocoder is tubular in nature with 7 vertical tubes. A visible gap must be present between the Vocoder and the helmet. The inside of each tear will be a raised area that is gray, with 8 engraved black lines, hand painted lines like ANH are not permitted. The frown shall be recessed to the proper depth, unlike standard ANH. The inside of each rear trap will be a raised area that is gray, with 13 engraved black vertical lines, hand painted lines like ANH are not permitted. The inside of each side trap will be a raised area that is gray. There is a small bump in the right eye socket (when worn) under the lens as an intended flaw to pay tribute to the original trilogy designers.

Thanks! I will go with no gold. I prefer screen shot references usually but the light can play tricks.

Not a problem. Will update this week so there’s no question. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
