NEW updated to match current CRL requirements. Visual guides updated by TK-50297 Wingnut65 Printable PDF below 05 FISD Commander L2 EIB - Ver 001.2020.pdf

Nice progress so far Josh, keep it up. We shall have some new visual guides for Expert Infantry and Centurion being added to this area over the next few days, be sure to print those out and have a look if you decide to go for higher levels of accuracy.

Some exciting times ahead Kevin, we look forward to you build thread. We will also have some new visual reference guides for Expert Infantry and centurion available in the First Order Battle Group section in the next few days so keep a look out for those.

Sith trooper falls under the Spec Ops detachment. The CRL may still be under construction and not yet available. https://specops501st.com/

Way to go Paul,

Congratulations Eric.

Good luck with that little mod Chris, take your time and hopefully it works without hiccup.

Absolutely correct, every little step forward counts.

Hi Carlos and welcome back. Enjoy the journey.

Hi folks Our FISD forums are actually hosted on the legions platform and I dare say we use a good amount of the bandwidth due to the shear scale of our forums and number of users. This is a good way to contribute a couple a bucks towards the continuing hosting costs of the legion and our great forums. Thanks Glen for posting this here, I'm sure we will have a few eager to be involved and thanks everyone for your continued support

I'm discussing with the LMO's how this CRL needs to be handled. They are debating if it should be a variant or the weathering an option for the existing CRL with some of the obvious differences.

I also think the holster needs to be added back in as a must have on the RotJ current CRL. The rabbit hole that is Endor weathered will still need a uniform approach else it's open season. I'm keen to have the two versions available, we need someone now willing to build a dirty version so we have images for the CRL. Ultimately, that member will be involved in the writing of this CRL, as only some of it will be copy/paste. One thing about the TD's, if its not part of the CRL can you imagine every time that person troops they will be told "Hey you lost your Thermal Det" that would annoy me having to explain it all the time lol.

Welcome aboard Kevin.

Reason the original tips were white is because many were cast in resin from the original plumbing pieces, and yes, then painted black. What i do think is the mesh should either be black or unpainted for uniformity, choose one and go with it rather than movie or production errors.

Nice work Eric. I need to get off my butt and make one of these packs.

Not so crazy really, but we do aim for as much uniformity as possible and I'd hate to see gaffer tape stuck on more armour than we should. Where do you draw the line is probably the hot point in that debate, like why allow this and not that etc etc. Sandies are a little different as they are heavily weathered and all can be comfortably different. We are faced with movie patch up jobs and simple mistakes that are our big issue. Also it would be a nightmare for any DO, and I could see many a disagreement happening. Do we wish that on anyone really but never say never right

Interesting so maybe if we ever decide to make a Endor version of the ROTJ TK that would certainly be a differing factor as part of the look and weathering. They do look nice and white on the Death Star and nobody is going to ask to look at the underneath of the sole to see an off white colour. I do remember the weather look being discussed in the past, and probably on a few occasions but nothing has ever come of it. The other implications would or rather have been is the fact several are seen on screen without Thermal detonators (obviously lost during the shoot or stunt men without for safety).

Make sure belts are not too tight, machine vibration can be a factor if they are. Power fluctuation is also a probable cause of step out on 3D printers. Re-calibrate your steppers on your X and Y axis Make sure all parts that secure your print head are secure and tight. check these while the machine is stone cold due to heat expansion. I cant think of anything else off hand but printers are rather finicky at the best of times.

That's the spirit Ken, we are all behind you.

Congratulations welcome to the rank.

I think of a Koala when I see the upset de down TK face, but the Mailmandalorion, now that is some funny shizbit lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
