  1. You will find a lot of "approximate" used in the CRL's a lot of time to cater for what is available now as well as differences between imperial and metric. If you are ever in doubt and you can't wait for a response as you are in a building groove you can always refer to the gallery areas
  2. Pretty much over 6" most will go for Dave's Darkdside (AM)
  3. You do need to paint the tube grey, has to be grey not gunmetal, grey similar to helmet trap grey. I used grey primer and coated in clear paint. CRL (Costume Reference Gallery) https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_anh_stunt Detonator consists of an all grey cylinder, without silver stickers or silver paint

  5. Hello and welcome aboard, some references which may be of help As per the CRL for Basic approval: "The white control panel raised ribbed section faces the rear.." And when worn with the belt make sure the slips go all the way down and are not seen from below the belt. Good luck with research and build, don't be afraid to ask questions, there's always someone around ready to jump in (or we aren't far away )
  6. Congratulations troopers, well deserved, I wonder who nominated you
  7. I really wouldn't bother
  8. For anyone using spray glue Down Under, check the color of the glue, there are a few brands that are yellow and can look like snot (boogers), Spotlight craft spray dries clear (or did the last can I purchased)
  9. Nice work, slow and steady
  10. Very very similar, they are just a little off how much hole the angle cut extends acriss, not that I think it would get picked by your GML "that guy, what would he know"
  11. For Tie Pilot info head over to JRS forum, home of everything Tie Pilot ^^^^^
  12. Unit GMLs will still be able to approve costumes on current members, though. This is an important distinction. Per the OP, members have until the start of voting to reconcile their Detachment roster affiliation. Please be reminded that a valid costume AND an active detachment-members-only forum account are required to participate in Legion Detachment elections. Please contact your respective Detachment Leaders for any issues with your membership (prior to elections), and do not wait until last minute.
  13. You already have501st & TK access If you have a problem with "detachment affiliation" please read here
  14. You need to add a link to your legion membership profile, please read the first post of this thread for instructions Debe agregar un enlace a su perfil de membresía de Legion; lea la primera publicación de este hilo para obtener instrucciones.
  15. Hello and welcome to the forum, a great thread full of information for the first time builder
  16. Reminder to stay "active" you must log into the forums at least once a year (election to election) or the automated system will not pick you may no longer have detachment affiliation. Also NOTE: *NOTE: Make sure you log into the forum at least once through a website and NOT through TapaTalk, as sometimes it does not register the login as a true login.
  17. Either purchase from the kit supplier or do an online search for rubber suppliers close to you, or trooperbay https://trooperbay.com/?s=brow+trim.
  18. Going for extra detail as the CRL model is a good idea, especially when others may follow and what to obtain L2 or L3. . Sheevs emporium do a lot of custom sewing, may be an option.
  19. Good luck with the research, a great thread full of information which may be helpful on your journey
  20. The only issue may be your brow trim length, it's a little short and this may change again by trimming the brow area Note the brow trim is just in the corner on top of your ear, compare with these images
  21. I just use E6000 glue, make sure you rough up the surface first on the drop box to help the glue adhere to it. Rivets were screen accurate but can pull through the elastic, using washers helps
  22. Definitely a mix of old and new. Lines running down from the neck is a little weird.
  23. Two things can adjust the brow, undoing side screws and tilting the faceplate downwards (but this makes the hole smaller to fit your head through) or as you stated, trimming the brow plastic a little more. Paints are:
  24. Very similar (if not the same ) as ROTK, with just a color change, I've not seen a good inside palms image
