PLEASE READ BEFORE PLACING YOUR VOTE
Detailed explanation and criteria
We (FISD staff) have had a long-running discussion regarding Stormtrooper Blaster variants as seen across the sequel trilogy, and how best this might be integrated into those CRL's.
The last thing we want to do is make an over bloated section for each of those CRL's with too much information, after all, blasters are not a requirement for 501st membership.
We don't want to make it overly confusing for GML's or Deployment officers, which could have the potential to create more delays than necessary on approval times.
So how do we propose to move forward?
I have broken this down into what will stay, and what could change.
The current Blaster requirement for EI and centurion will stay as is.
These are the most common seen on screen versions for each of the films. This is the basis on how all our CRL's are formed top to bottom. It gives everyone the chance to look as much the same as possible, the ideal garrison of Troopers.
What would change is the ability to build a blaster with the identical layout of one seen on screen in the specific movie for the costume.
The driver for this is to add some fun for the individual.
Now it would be pointless to move on this without some form of guide as to what might be permissible and what may not, so we have looked at a set of conditions that would need to apply.
Acceptable references
1. Blaster must be a production asset seen on screen, or from openly available to all, behind the scene references, including Disney+ specials. This keeps us aligned with how all legion CRL's are formed but gives some bandwidth.
This keeps it fair for all members, clears speculation, and has photo evidence to back it up. No hearsay, or anecdotal info will be accepted.
2. No clearly damaged or taped together blasters, we don't allow on the go gaffer tape patch ups on costumes, this would extend to the blasters we want to look our best after all.
3. The blaster must be appropriate for the film the costume belongs to. If the specific layout is seen across multiple films, that should not be an issue, but additional references would be required to prove so. (Images of said blaster in both films)
4. Blaster must be built to some of the benchmark Centurion level items, such as foldable forward grip and working lights, no visible print lines.
We expect that those looking to go this route would build their blasters with a higher degree of accuracy and want the bells and whistles that make them stand out.
How would the process work, when would a member need to submit a request or references?
If it is so desired by a member to build their blaster under this change, it would make sense to alert your GML and Detachment Deployment office to the CRL and the version you wish to build before you complete your costume.
The member will be required to produce at least 2 separate readily available visual references of the same version they wish to build in advance of submitting for approval. A final decision will be determined by the Deployment officer staff. Refer to the above list of what is considered acceptable references.
This would reduce the chances of added delays to an approval, give both the GML and DO's a chance to discuss with the member what is satisfactory and what may not be. This also prevents the potential for disappointment at the last moment.
If you believe this could be a beneficial change, add an element of fun, and a low level of individualism, then please vote for or against.
Footnote: We would be starting with the First order version to trial how this may work.
If this Poll recognises merit, we will work to install it with additional text to the specific CRL's and seek LMO approvals.
If down the track this proves successful, and without excessive issues, I would hope the expansion of a similar treatment to other CRL's under the FISD purview would take place.

Wow, Jim! That's got to be some kind of speed record for a FOTK build, you look fantastic!
Best of luck with your approval.

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.

Moved houses and workshops! October 2023
Not a troop, but a significant life event I'll share:
Pardon my spotty attendance of late - I've been busy movin' on up to a new construction townhome in the next city over with a two-car attached garage, which means the end of an era and nearly 8 years in the single car detached carport that has been "Rascal Studios". Many thanks to the TKs who have graced this hallowed hall and many memories were made and friendships built in this space. Seeing it empty, it's hard to imagine I fit storage, a workbench, and all the tools needed for a stormtrooper build in here, plus my wagon/estate. On to bigger and better things and I'll post some photos of the new workshop once I'm all set up, though with the baby on the way, that isn't likely to be any time soon.
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.

Assume LEDs in lenses would be an option? I don’t see any reason to have it as a separate CRL.
Likewise, Enoch has enough overlap with the night troopers that I wonder if that should also fall under FISD, e.g. Phasma.
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.
