Sure thing. I will work on that tonight.

FYI, these are my copy/paste errors. Glen sent me a PM with the fixes needed and I made the updates. They should be better now. Please respond to this thread if you still think they are confusing. For our next trick, we'll work on L2, and maybe if we are happy, L3 as well. Time to get TFA/TLJ/TLJ-E to have EI ability.

You are so awesome Glen! If we can get that photo'd against a white background I'll update the CRL with it.

Thanks. We'll have to update the CRL when we add L2/L3.

can you post a pix please?

Oct 2017 Jim Tripon TK-82480 (aka jimmiroquai) has made substantial contributions to the Legion and FISD in particular by bringing to life the Rogue One Stormtrooper and The Last Jedi costumes as well. His creativity, energy, and dedication to stormtrooper costuming has earned him special recognition in service to the Legion community. In recognition, I am please to award Jim the FISD Achievement Medal. Well earned, and we as a costuming club are thankful to you and all you continue to do.

You may indeed be right. At least on the screen grabs they are all T21's, one with a black strap (no tan straps). The only place we see it is on the Hot Toys it seems. It's a great question for the Legion. We never see a single TI or AT-AT with a weapon, yet their CRLs have all kinds of blasters. What is the argument why they have them I wonder?

You were a huge part

The first time I started working on a CRL was in December 2006, and FISD has usually been really good about getting CRLs going. We had a whole photoshop team in place back in the day to crank out all those images - it was a huge deal. But never have I seen 3 - yes 3 - CRLs go live in the same day. We are so very fortunate to have members around the world chip in and contribute their time, talents, and patience to helping get these through. Members of the Philippines Garrison in particular photographed a lot of parts and got them CRL ready which was a huge boost. I'm really stoked that after all this time, people can do their Rogue One builds in confidence knowing there is no longer a moving target. People who have already done an FOTK can see quickly what few parts/mods are needed to having a The Last Jedi TK ready to go with plenty of time to finish before the movie. Or, go full on TLJ Executioner. What a fantastic time to be a Legion stormtrooper, don't you think?

The CRL is here: https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_TLJ Troopers - you can now build this costume with full confidence that it will be approvable by your GML. Once again, Jim & members of the Philippine Garrison worked quickly to bring this costume to life and get all the photos set up. We are grateful to their contributions to FISD. If you haven't been keeping track, that is 3 CRLs fully live on the same day. I don't think I've ever seen in all the years this occur before. Kudo's as well do the Legion LMO team for making this possible. It's a great time to be a stormtrooper in the 501st Legion! With unquestioned loyalty, Daetrin TK-8020 FISD Founder | DL

You can see the CRL here: http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_rogue_one Troopers - you can now build this costume with full confidence that it will be approvable by your GML. This particular CRL was painful to get all the way though. We had lots of fits and starts, and it's unusual that it would take most of a year after a movie to come out for us to get it live. This is a pretty cool costume and not only will it be a distinct TK unto itself, it is also the basis of the Jeddha trooper. So like stormtroopers and sandtroopers, you can have fun going dirty or staying clean. So, if you have done this costume, go bug your GML to get approved. If you have not started one, kits are on sale and make great additions to your costume hobby. Special thanks to Jim T. who was the power behind bringing this costume to life with his talent, hard work and creativity. UPDATE: I also want to shout out to Henry TK-80421 for all his research and dedication on getting the blaster all figured out. This is huge. With unquestioned loyalty, TK-8020 "Daetrin"

You can see the CRL here: http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_TLJ_Executioner Troopers - you can now build this costume with full confidence that it will be approvable by your GML. Numerous people helped bring this costume to life and contributed to the CRL, but the 3 troopers who really helped make it possible are: Glen (TK-85421) - 1st approved Kit (TK-44840) - CRL model Jim (TK-82480) - armor maker Without their diligence, persistence, and true grit, this costume would still be sitting in draft form. Please join me in congratulating Glen, Kit, and Jim on a job well done, and thanks for their service to FISD and the Legion. With unquestioned loyalty, Daetrin TK-8020 FISD Founder | DL

Whew! Actually it was a team effort. Glen - you got the first application bringing this kit to life, and did a lot of work on the CRL, Jim/Kit from the PI on getting reference photos turned so quickly and validating everything, whew! And of course Jim T. for knocking out helmets everyone can love. This is really a great day. The base CRL for TLJ will go live soon - only waiting on 2 photos left.

Or, they just want to make them harder for fans to build...that's a lot of little detail on that puppy.

ROTFLHMS - great one!

Should be any minute today.

Congrats!! You are the first ever approved. A rare distinction surely.

Truly awesome! I'm still working on how to mount mine. This is inspirational.

Wow - that is one sweet ax!

Yes, I have to add that to the CRL as an option, e.g. you can dirty up the armor like the dude who got his butt whipped during the Jin rescue on...what planet was it again?

Wow, I really like the weathering on this.

This is the money post right here. Rob is also right that GINO bashing gets nothing. What counts is to look against the screen caps as best we can. ANH space packs are the same - all we have is a few behind the scenes photos which don't show everything.

We are in the queue...

Stick to topics gents or I'll delete threads. This thread is about decals for Jimmy's buckets. Any concerns about Tom's helmets will need to be via separate thread. You can stick it in the 501st only area initially if you chose.

In an epic - for the 501st - display of restraint and discipline, we are in the takeoff sequence however there are other aircraft ahead of us. I really have to commend the LMO office for keeping things moving in on orderly manner. Even though *the* LMO is a former FISD DL, he's not abusing his office to fast-track us. So, it will happen when it happens - likely before the end of month. However, I much prefer this type of fairness to how things are being run these days to "heroic efforts" or "special favors".
