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.

UPDATE Remnant TK weathered version will be its own CRL. What we can and cant add will follow but we should still follow some of our basic principles else it makes a CRL convoluted and too confusing for GML's, members and DO to follow. You would assume generally each TK is set up the same, but in this time frame and disjointed after the empire era, it shows that isn't true maybe by intention, maybe not. What is clear seems to be some had an Anovos helmet where others had R1, that has to be on purpose one would think. I can see that being in a CRL as its pretty easy. I think a line will need to be drawn on what is most commonly seen like we usually do else this makes for a long CRL with a rather large number of disparities. Not something our members are used to. We don't have a level like the MEPD which is pick a Sandtrooper from the screen and replicate it, down to the weathering and finer details. This Remnant TK could actually fit that bill, but we haven't attempted this before nor do we have a level currently to facilitate it. That bit will go under staff discussion and as always we roll with a vote the democratic way. What I do want, is for this to become a live CRL, but we need one very important factor. A member ready and eager to work with us and build this costume so we have everything we need to complete a CRL. Most of the writing is complete and its looking pretty good and is all in this thread. So I put it out to the membership, who wants to be a CRL model for a first in legion costume!!

Look I agree that the pauldron parts don't match the references as tightly as we may like, but I think as Justin mentioned, we can look to update this at a later date. If we add dimensions, that makes it difficult for GML's and members alike, we don't measure distances on a basic level as we don't handle the approvals, we just build the CRL. Will some complain, yep some always do! but for higher levels, that's where we can be more picky and make more stipulations. Not every CRL model is Centurion level, although it is desirable, this is a partly new to legion costume. What we can't control is any given GML saying no that pauldron isn't right compared to references, and trust me plenty of GML's out there do use reference images to do exactly that. I would suggest, for EI or centurion we get down to closer referencing of subject matter, and make the pauldron part of that. There are plenty of costumes getting around legion that look far from the picture, in general we are pretty darn good, so we cant make this up in higher levels. Purely my opinion and as always, happy to be wrong

Welcome back Patrick, clearly its hard to keep a good trooper down, and we are most glad that you are back in the ring for another swing with the 501st. Don't forget to post some photos when your Sandy is complete.

Weathering for EI is an easy addition. That images does look to be lightly weathered and the lived in look adds to the realism for the costume.

Hey all, hope everyone is doing well. We have just completed a small update of the Rebels animated series Stormtrooper CRL. Finally it has a synopsis at the top which was completely missing, and now you can also have the Chimera logo on your Pauldron if you so wish. There may be future updates for this CRL to include other item. https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_rebels Stormtroopers were the foot soldiers of the Galactic Empire, tasked with enforcing order throughout the galaxy. They wore armor similar to that of the clone troopers of the Old Republic, and were considered the spiritual successors to the clone army. Stormtroopers under the command of Grand Admiral Thrawn had the ability to wear the Chimera insignia, as seen in the animated series Rebels. This appeared on the pauldron showing absolute dedication to their commander.

Standard CRL updates and creation always require a set of screen references and a fully built version of those to be considered for a CRL. These need to be presented by a member, but I haven't seen anyone bring forward images of a built Animated version of the DLT-19 which is the requirement. This CRL has already been approved for the update and editable version locked by the LMO team so it is again available for membership use. As we have a list of CRL's requiring attention, and this one managed to skip the queue, I have to say it is now closed, and any further additions will need to wait until we look at this CRL again in the future. If you have the required references and a built DLT-19 that look/matches, as I imagine like the Rebels E-11 it might look quite different from the ANH live action DLT-19, them may I suggest placing them in this thread so they are ready for the next revisit. In fairness to all, I am now back working on other CRL's from said list that did take precedents over this one.

Welcome aboard JM.

I have never see an image of the soft parts although no doubt it exists in Gino's collection. Below is the remake EFX claimed they would release, where they claimed matched the fabrics and the measurements from the film articles.

Here is an image of the very set of armour now up for auction. this is a photo from circa 2013, and is the same kit that Gino from EFX had the opportunity to take a full set of internal molds from. The story goes that the collector actually also had the original undersuit and neck seal, of which were also replicated down to the fabric patterns. If you are lucky enough to attend a SW Celebration, you may actually meet Gino who has had his full cast set from this armour on display. The armour has definitely yellowed considerably when compared to this photo below.

Awesome mate, really looking forward to seeing this complete and you approved.

Welcome aboard Seth. Thats got to be some kind of record for a build, but you are looking good to now bring it full circle and complete. We are here to offer assistance in every way we can. Looking forward to seeing this finished and you as an approved Stormtrooper (TK)

All great tips Steve

Update 3 includes corrected colour variants for the show plus insignia on orange and grey pauldrons only, definitely a grey pauldron outside of Thrawns office.

Unless the insignia is seen on other colours in the show, perhaps we should stae that it is only to be on the orange pauldron. If you have any resources showing on red, grey or any other colour, let me know. i think we should also limit the colours of the pauldrons to what was seen as well. Currently the piece talks to white and black because it is a shared template with the HWT.

If the Chimera insignia is present, it shall be a vinyl sticker, embroidered patches or sewn on plastic patches are not permitted.

Me too, just not certain about leaving the screen printed bit in Also didnt add embroidered patches are not acceptable, but I don't think we would need that to be honest.

Here is an alternate version changing up the text to another part of the conversation thread It was mentioned vinyl sticker or painted. painting by habd unless you are that good could look messy but screen printed might work. Again only suggestions. lets bolt it down so i can lock it up anf get LMO's to approve the changes

This is what i have so far. I noticed that the insignia conversation changed a few times regarding how it should look/materials etc, plus what level and what style per level, but this is what it is at the moment as a first draft. Can update text easily for changes as I have the CRL wiki document open. Also i can add a much larger image of the insignia in the CRL gallery attached to the CRL.

How does this look?

The base software has undergone numerous updates so some functions were made redundant, but different or new options came on line. The sheer growth over the years also increases the difficulty to find things. We archived a heap of stuff too which isn't fully viewable, but lacked too much of its original content to keep it viewable. We don't actually delete anything, we only hide it or archive it, so the full history is still there in the background. As Glen mentioned, 2 years was a huge undertaking to revive and recover as much as we could, but i am unsure about being able to reinstate old serch systems without having to rebuild entire sections or creating a single post and linking everything back to it like Caleb did for his all in one post. I too use google to search up things on our forums sometimes, because it is easier

Looking good Dan.

Looking forward to your next batch of photos Alexandre. I have only used a leather hole punch for this, and it probably is the best way to get a clean hole through the canvas belt. There is another tool called a Brad which is a spike with a handle at one end that could work. In that case perhaps a skewer might allow you to make a sufficient small hole to get rivets or Chicago screws through.

Welcome aboard as an official TK Marcel, and congratulations.
