Glen is correct, there will be the same weathering description for each piece. As to the Gold adornments, that will form part of open discussion to create a base standard, which the LMO team will review. We also need to create higher levels of accuracy so for example, gold paint may be perfect for say base level, but at centurion Gold leaf would be the more accurate. Other items may be the wraps for basic can be wrapped around parts where we know on multiple sets they were wrapped and tucked under the joins for the thighs etc. The CRL model doesn't need to be at Centurion level, although it's great to have them, as such basic is fine. We do tend to update CRL models eventually based on new information or if a build looks significantly better than what we had at the time, or the original model makes updates for the better and wishes to have the CRL image updated to their latest version. Feel free to reach out to me directly, happy to assist you in any way possible, even a phone call, what ever you are comfortable with. I have also updated another thread in this new section specifically for the creation of the Night Trooper CRL Please use this new thread for all CRL creation discussion. I have added the basic CRL language, so feel free to add your images over there for full discussion and bringing this costume to an approved 501st costume.

Hey Luke, not sure what you are using to share your images, but it isn't working, nor are the links. May I suggest you use IMGUR, below is a thread on how to use it. You will need to replace what you are trying to share using that format.

I love the smell of plastic in the mornings!!

More preparation for the new arrival?

Congratulations Caleb, you will never forget your first troop. Here's to many, many more.

Got any photos of the new 850 armour pieces? Would be great to see some good shots of the chest and backplates.

Looks great, well done Tom

Congrats on your first 10 troops, all updated for you.

Both costumes are approved to reside here by the LMO team vote, so we are good to go. Possibly diffused LED's to drop the brightness down a touch, but it should form part of the same CRL it will be an option for certain.

Greetings everyone, We wish to continue the expansion of languages our Detachment Tri fold brochure is available in and are looking for a member able to translate the English version into French. If you can help, please send me a DM/PM through the forums, so I can share the full English version with you. There is no pressure to translate it quickly, it just needs to be an accurate translation. All version we create are reviewed by the PR team before we can release them, so we do have a check and balance in place. If you would like to see this great recruiting tool also translated and formatted into your native language, please also reach out to me. We are an international platform and are happy to have these in as many languages as possible. Tri Fold currently available in English, German, Spanish and Swedish. End of transmission

Costume malfunction, wonder how many times that helmet has done stunt work!

I think it would also look a treat if you have a few loose bits of the red cloth wraps hanging loose, as per some of the reference images Glen shared above. At the moment, we are waiting on a little fabric test to see if the wraps are chiffon or Shantung. From the samples of chiffon I have seen it looks to fray similarly to what we see on screen but is very see through when distressed. Overlapping tends to back that off, but it could be a slightly denser silk based fabric. I have had quite a discussion with a vendor who is still working on the best/closest match, but once we are most confident, then that will also play a part in the CRL.

Only 3D files at present. Files by Jesse M Check the thread below.

From one private collection into another at a prickly sum, but that X wing miniature, holy smoke!

Now updated Congratulations on 50 troops

Updated, congratulations.

Congrats and updated.

I can confirm Enoch costume has no Cod piece. More updates to come shortly.

Welcome aboard Matt!

This is a very special video for so many reasons.

Hi Ben, Andrew from Redback Garrison, Currently there is no Auusie make of a full TK KIT that has lineage to the originals. CTPG (Chris the prop guy) in Victoria was working on TK armour, he has a helmet available that does have lineage to a helmet from the movies. I know him well and assisted him as much as possible with his 3D files to get the armour as close as possible. A true fan sculpts. He has also pulled a few kits in ABS and has been 501st approved in it. You can find him and his shop on Facebook. Several kits that do have that are all based in US, Canada and the UK. In many cases not just the helmet is cast from and original but also many parts of the armour. Thats pretty much as good as it gets for Stormtrooper armour and you can find these makers on our vetted sellers list. See below link. Also feel free to reach out to me directly Brisbane Based, always happy to help. w link

Now you are speaking my Hockey language!!

Hi Adam, welcome aboard, Your feeling of being overwhelmed is common with new members, but you are not alone on this journey. I too was blown away by the sheer volume of information these forums contain back when i joined in 2014, completely overwhelmed by it all, and not knowing where to start. Rest assured, none of us had ever assembled armour, many never sewn a stitch in their lives when we decided this is our new adventure, but we had support and an influx of information from members and the staff of this detachment that built the confidence to make it all work out. Research is the key to this hobby, but we are by your side to assist, your local unit will also have members there, possibly Imperial attaches of this detachment to also assist. I see you have been shown some excellent links to important parts of the forums, keep asking questions, you are now on a new and exciting learning curve and in time will become proficient in the lingo, the ability to assemble an armour kit and be darn proud of what you will achieve. Once again welcome aboard, the fun only gets better and better, that is a promise.

Excellent Luke, first cab off the rank. Looking forward to your progress.
