  4. Welcome to the Imperial Armored Commando research thread for CRL creation

    This is of tremendous help so far Francois.

    I'll start to add text into the first post but we can continue to look at and discuss references to bring this up to where it needs to be so we can present it to the LMO team in the near future.

     

    Glen has a good point with the reference images , they certainly are our guide to written text and description.

     

    Keep up the stellar work on this.

  5. Frank Imperial commando build thread - armor completed

    Hard, soft, and cloth components in an FISD costume!

    Sounds pretty standard when you consider what we have in our stable, but Gauntlets, jumpsuit and jetpack all together for the first time in our detachments' history, not to forget new blasters, need I go on! Pretty darn cool.

     

    We also need to consider the variants with the red sections of helmets, red gauntlets and the blasters etc.

    This CRL will also require a gallery for more detailed sections, like Enoch does.

    Do we have enough visible evidence to call out "Satin" paint finish for basic level?

    We deal in absolutes where possible based on information available to the open public, then only use BTS knowledge to fill in gaps.

    Here say and guess work is what we do spend a fair bit of time on

     

    Let's get some feedback from staff and members on this.

    If it looks like a satin finish, let's get some consensus, please.

    Hello, Kevin here from Imperial Surplus. I just wanted to let you know Option B version (back plate cover) is available when asked for at time or ordering the kit.  I honestly have not had the option B requested in a long time (a few years) until just last week. I will continue to also provide some extra ABS with the armor kit to help with assembly needs. Any questions or want to order the Armor or Helmet kit please use the email on the Imperial Surplus website. 

    Excellent news Kevin, hope you are keeping well.

    Also to note, if you are printing your armour, and need to scale it up, the Ab plate posses a problem.

    The main and side button plates will also scale up, placing them out of proportion with reference material and ABS and Fibre glass R1 kits available.

    I think the best options will be to speak with the file creators and ask if they can indeed make those details separate print files, so the size remains the same, and they are simply attached to the Ab plate.

    The couple we have seen are noticeable, so this would be a good option to have.

    An issue we are seeing is when scaling the files up, specially for detailed parts like the Ab plate, it scales all those details along with it, as they are not separate pieces. The Ab button plates are the reference points we are concerned with.

    Perhaps we need to discuss with the file makers to have these button plates as separate files so when scaling up the main Ab plate, they are not affected and hence, don't look out of proportion when compared to reference images.

    Something to be mindful of.
