The CRL is now green. Wider announcement to follow. -Eric

I think I'm done for now. Images updated with Clint's most recent versions. Some text edited per Krista's input as well as Drew the SoCal GML. For now I left the blaster wording totally bland for now. I'll add images soon for the blasters and expand the wording per Germain and Zedebee's awesomeness. I am still on the fence about the pistol until better reference material emerges. Das LMOmeister has been notified that I'm done dicking with it. He can edit and make it go green as he sees fit. -Eric

Schadenfreude defined. -Eric

^This. The wanna-be canadian speaks truth. I doubt we're going to get to L2 until after the movie comes out FYI. Maybe not even until the bluray comes out I would even push for just an L2 not L3 depending since most costumes will be fairly accurate right out of the gate. Let's focus on getting people approved (that is when the CRL goes green today or tomorrow and not before!) right now. I heart this. Thank you. I'll be adding blaster stuff today, I was going to just say "Use a toy blaster and paint it kinda like the photo provided" to start but you've given me way better words. Additionally I will be adding the blaster and blaster rifle(phasma style) today, but maybe not the pistol. I also wanted to call it the 7-11 but I have been shot down by... everyone. People are also calling it the E-12 but it will be listed as "First Order Stormtrooper Blaster" in the CRL. -Eric

What browser are you using MNS? -Eric Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Krista: it's on the main legion site under the FISD crls. I think I linked to it a few posts of mine ago. http://www.501st.com/databank/TK_-_First_Order Post here or email me your edit suggestions. -Eric Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My goal is that GMLs can start approving next week We will likely update the photos as we go as more get approved. For now we just need enough to get people approved in general. Todo list before the LMO turns it green: * Thermal det photos uploaded * Boot wording cleaned up and photo uploaded * Some mention of undersuit somewhere * Whip up blaster wording and upload photos. -Eric Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think the one we have is good no? I just haven't uploaded it hoping Clint has a higher res version. -Eric Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

^This I may make a special section just for the gap above the thighs. Take a look at the model in the CRL as it is a very high res photo if you click on it a couple times: http://www.501st.com/databank/TK_-_First_Order Good stuff! I'll add the text for the handplate black details and on the forearm boxes but the photos will have to follow given our short timeline this week to go green with the CRL. The neck seal maybe shiny for L2 but it doesn't matter much. Thanks! -Eric

Find these FISD users: Pickles, Clamps, or mechapumpkin. They can help you with your AP in person and have armor parties often. -Eric Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bender: Yes I do want a photo. The material used for the under suit will likely be specified in upper levels of approval. That does remind me I need to add the under suit back into the CRL. -Eric Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Should " Complete Plastic Carnage" be our new FISD catch phrase? -Eric Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes and no. For now we need people approved. But when we go to EIB we should provide the holster details for sure. So yes. But in time. I think I have some good photos of a properly made holster with the right McMaster hardware in my collection. I'll see about whipping it up shortly after the CRL goes green. -Eric Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

LOL No one noticed I forgot to put an entry for knee plates in the CRL: Images are slowly going up as I have a free moment. My goal, once the LMO blesses it, is for the CRL to be basically done before the end of this week. I think the wording still needs some studying. Feel free to give it a read and let me know what you think. The boots section needs some love for sure. Not sure what else. -Eric

Ho boy that got a laugh. Why didn't anyone tell me my an impolite person so big?! -Eric Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well this should be an easy pass for sure. Great looking photos btw. Gaz should thank you for making his job easier. -Eric

I've found Walt's ears to be easier than most. Just a few mm's away from the line in the mold and you're good to go. Nice progress. I need to finish my WTF one of these days... not that it will fit me... but it fulfills the need to F up some abs. -Eric

Best defog ever. I use it for TK and Vader. It takes lots of troops before having to reapply. -Eric

A little selfishly I do too. But I think FISD should be the place because I think we're best equipped to be caretakers of build threads and the CRLs... but I am open to a new detachment indeed. Todd: I'm sorry if I made it seem like I'm crapping on spec ops. I hope you know I love you guys. -Eric

While I don't agree about the bubble lenses I yield to popular common sense. Here is the wording as of now: Lenses are smoky brown or gray in color. They may be bubble in shape or flat and must be sufficiently dark enough to obscure the costumer's eyes. More images have been added to the CRL: http://www.501st.com/databank/TK_-_First_Order Larger and more detailed versions will be uploaded over time. -Eric

Good points all. Thanks. I'll have a think about it. This is exactly why a new CRL should be created with transparency and by community. Also lets keep the discussion here focused on the content of the CRL. -Eric Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fascinating. Well spec ops it is. -Eric Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hmmm spec ops as far as I know are purely EU (legacy may I dare call it now) TKs. I will vie for them all to be in FISD to start and let the debate about having their own detachment ensue. (Clint Randall for First Order DL!) I think the snowy discussions are already happening on blizzard force. If someone makes a good looking pauldron I would prefer I keep it under the existing TFA TK CRL as an optional accessory.... Like the TDs do. Flame thrower? FISD to start. Someone needs to make the costume first. Phasma will be its own costume. Who will be the first to take an anovos kit and rattle can it silver? Just a few thoughts. -Eric Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep. Photos will be added slowly over the next few days. And oops on the formatting. I'll fix my fat finger tonight. Yeah. Picatinny. Maybe we need a better way to describe that rail? Lemme think about that. Maybe more of a "look at the photo" type descriptor. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picatinny_rail -Eric Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dr Bender. The images are in Ryan's hands at the moment because I suck at photoshop. -Eric Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
