That depends, CRL's have been built solely on figures (and packaging) before (ie: Black with red stripe FO Stormtrooper) BUT this is something new as some of these costumes seen are from a dedicated park which will be part of the timeline, perhaps some will even show up in EPIX, time will tell. Galaxy’s Edge is set during the conflict between the Resistance and the First Order — i.e., in the middle of the current sequel trilogy. Special attention was paid to making sure the events here, and the relevance of Batuu, make sense within larger Star Wars storytelling. “We find this sweet spot [on the galactic map] where like, ‘Batuu can be here,’” said Hidalgo. “And if it’s here, this is what it means in terms of, where is it on the First Order’s path to what it is they’re doing? Where is it on the Resistance’s path to what it is they’re doing?” This concentration on history even extends to the set dressing of Batuu and Black Spire Outpost. “Every little thing seems to have a backstory here,” added Martin. “When we’re making the films we kind of retroactively make up what the stories could be. But here, we were thinking of the stories as we went.” And those stories involve ships and faces both familiar and strange.

Coming along nicely

kashyyyk stormtrooper 501st markings variant?
gmrhodes13 replied to dashrazor's topic in Kashyyyk Stormtrooper
There isn't a CRL for this so I nobody has sought approval for the character, here's some info for new to the legion costumes: http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:CRLGuide -
For anyone wondering what a Mountain Trooper is "Guys we need something new, take what ever pieces you want from any Star Wars movie/series and put a new costume together, even if costume parts haven't been seen since before ANH" Timeline people, timeline.

There is a discussion on legion boards about park characters and CRL's but no official stance as yet.

There are some differences in the helmets Front chin is a lot longer and angles backwards halfway down and it is a lot sharper that movie version, there is also the lower black inset line below the tube stripes which stops a lot shorter that movie version. Nose has a sharper corner at the edge of the mouth compared to movie which is rounded.

Phasma is here so I would think Pryre would also be here but ultimately it will a decision between the LMO's and DL.

Always pays to purchase from a vetted seller, you can at least be quarantined you'll receive a quality product, we aren't saying some do have luck purchasing off eBay but it's rare you get a bargain Good luck

Hello and welcome aboard, there are a couple of builds going at the moment, also a helmet available but still need a little work to become screen accurate. If you look at screen references closely you will notice there are some differences between the animated and movie versions. https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/46373-commander-pyre-build/ https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/46000-sw-resistance-tk-buildslow/ https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/46453-sw-resistance-tk-pyre-helmet/ Information in regards to new CRL's and legion costume application: http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:CRLGuide Good luck and hope to see a build thread from you soon.

Nothing worse than waiting for glue to dry

Just don't purchase from eBay, so many vetted sellers out there with tried and tested armor available.

TK-11703 Requesting ANH EIB Status (Anovos) (895)
gmrhodes13 replied to beowshawitz's topic in Request Expert Infantry Status
Congratulations trooper and welcome to the EI ranks -
Very nice Kris, I ended up finding some pants of similar glossy material and cut them down to shorts which I wear over my two piece undersuit, I do find that the glossy finish can rub off over time so I don't wear them all the time, mainly for higher profile troops

Linz AM ANH build thread WIP
gmrhodes13 replied to Linz's topic in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance
Blue tape is always handy when building and test fitting, looking good. -
As long as you are not applying pressure to the pieces then 24 hrs will be fine, anything that needs pressure to close then wait the full 48 hours. Make sure you rough up both pieces with sandpaper before gluing and it will help adhere. Can never have enough magnets, clamps or blue tape when building, I've doubled up on magnets since this photo
-
With the stripes you don't want them on an angle, should really be a pencil width all the way. You could if careful peel them off, I'd apply some tape over the top first to keep the spacing then gently peel backwards For cleaning any excess paint I find toothpicks really helpful.

TK41970 Requesting ANH EIB Status (AP) [898]
gmrhodes13 replied to Etrooper70's topic in Request Expert Infantry Status
Ultimately you should follow the Deployment Officer, other comments are offered so you could make adjustments before the DO's ask you too, the thigh cover strip is a definite and should have been picked up at basic approval CRL Image: -
Nice work. Looks like your counter could come further forward and a slightly downward. Just to make the build stand out your TD clips should be square on the ends not rounded You could also add a little white paint to the rims of the mic tips Large ab plate is a little over trimmed, you could take off a little more material from your smaller plate. You could also bring up your sniper plate so it covers the angle of the shin. Good luck with approval
-
Nice work, just a couple of things that you could improve on, your drop boxes aren't aligned to the edge of the belt in a lot of photos, a dab of E6000 on the elastic loops can stop them moving, also looks like your counter may be a tad low Could drop the belt just a little, should line up just under the bottom button, yours appears to be covering the bottom of the button. You may also need to supply photos of your bottom helmet screws Good luck trooper
-
To get a nice straight line you can use sandpaper wrapped a round a piece of wood, it's mainly the ends you need to be fit flush together though as the rest is covered with the strips. Nice work, keep it up

You'll still need to update your cover strip: Thigh cover strip should stop before the lower ridge -
Lorelei's 5'4" ATA ANH-S Centurion-Hopeful Build
gmrhodes13 replied to TheLorelei's topic in ANH Build Threads
Elastic definitely allows movement, anything else without some give will just separate the snaps.
