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

The new home for Night Troopers as seen in the Disney+ series Ahsoka This thread is for the creation of the CRL for this costume, please keep all discussion relevant to the main goal.

Sure thing, Can you please let me know how you organise runs etc, so we have a bit more info to place in the vendor list at the top of this thread?

Pack adjustment looks good, well done Logan.

Awesome Logan, congrats on your first troop as an Artillery trooper!

Hi Jacob. generally you need 4 references minimum for the potential of a CRL to be considered by the LMO team. Front, back left and right sides. Cartoon and animated series characters can be difficult to replicate the right look so i would also recommend you email the LMO office, let them know what you are interest in creating and even direct them to the post you have here. This character may come under the purview of Spec Ops detachment as well, so check in there in case they have any existing threads or discussion on this character. There does look to be a lot of customization required to pull this off, not a standard TK kit,so 3D printing would be the only way to bring this to life. All the parts look quite different to anything live action.

Congrats Adam, all done for you sir.

Congratulations Manvi, welcome to Centurion rank sir

There were probably some rubber stunt blasters made in all the films. On close inspection this particular one has some average paint lines etc and the main piece could well be for that. We tend to run with the hero versions which are most commonly seen as per the bulk of references we have and also what we have been assisted with by one of the prop makers.

The last line is my favorite

It is with great pleasure FISD presents Commander Pyre CRL officially approved and open. Congratulations to Dino (Sano) TK 75608 for his epic work bringing this character to life from the animated series Star Wars Resistance. This one was a long time in the making and we are excited to finally add this new costume to the detachment roster. We now stand at 21 CRL's https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:Commander-pyre

Updated for you Paul, congrats on 25 troops as a TK

We are so close now Dino!

You are powering through this build

Just read your PM, I'll send it to you shortly. I assume you are chasing the version on your side bar?

Hopefully you come back to this project in the future. November is a very important month for you indeed, hope your preparations for the new arrival are almost complete.

Welcome aboard Erick!

Nice repair trick Gerald, I've used other methods but not tried this before.

Justin, as you are building to this CRL, it is not up to us to provide references although we do plenty of research for every CRL to assist. As has been mentioned, there is a base CRL for TFA FOTK, as this game version looks to basically be the same, the base CRL plus some differences the base CRL should be adhered to. In real world we know those things exist and you are building a real world costume based from a game which is quite obvious they design from the actual costume, plus embellishments created for the character. It is up to you to provide references that these things do not exist. This is the basic principle of our CRL's and yes the 501st high standards compared to other costuming clubs. Not created by me or any of the current staff, but simple rules that the detachment has continued to follow over the last 15 years. Why should we want to settle for less, when these are things most of the membership are very very proud of.

Good progress so far Tyler, you are doping great.

Wow Marissa, great accomplishment!! Welcome to FISD and congratulations on your TK approval.

Also just looking through the CRL early draft in this thread, I don't see a reason why the centurion level items should be struck out, considering this character is based off the TFA FOTK, things like palm stitching and the way boxes seams are not filled, and other items should absolutely remain. It just doesn't make sense not to have them included as you are building this in a realistic fashion, not in a game render fashion. These are also optional levels so there is no pressure for anyone to build to that level , but if they have a centurion level TFA TK, then they have some options to make a Pauldron and secondary helmet plus any other differences, to have a another costume from the base and also hit centurion with that. We will definitely have a detailed look at this and flesh out the wiki origin doc before submitting to the LMO team. The build is coming along nicely Justin, almost there.

Ooh I actually love the green lights on the side of the blaster, that's kind cool and a great point of difference for the CRL. Is he dual weilding!!

I love the trimming part of an armour build, ha who am I kidding, I love the entire process! With every cut comes confidence, with every examination of a reference image comes learning and knowledge, with every glued and assembled piece comes progress and excitement, what is there not to love. Keep up the great work and updates Jim, you will be at the finish line before you know it.

This is correct, but we build them, i submit them to the LMO team who all go through it and if they want changes made, that then comes back to me to discuss with the member building the costume. The LMO may also discuss it further with the member. If they say no, then that's where it stops until the member makes costume corrections and in turn we update the CRL appropriately. Finally it is Green lit, appears in our CRL list and members can start building to it.
