Good Lord, why cant they just make up their minds and stick to the original time lines!! To the average cos player it probably makes no difference but to Legion where we do our darnedest to follow the movise and time lines as depicted by the artists and writers, this is just a headache.

This build sounds like it's going to be epic, cant wait

The old days, no merch regulations, make as many as you want when you want and those prices were so cheap. Insert sigh! lol

You could simply omit the wire bracket set up for the kidney to butt connection and use snaps and elastic. it will save you any grief you might have with the brackets cracking out of the plates in that area. Generally the join is also concealed by the belt when you are kitted up so no one would ever know. Strapping isn't part of the CRL either although the DO's just like to see how your armour is held together as it allows them some insight in the event you needed to make any adjustments for fitting.

As per my response in the build thread, Not yet. various angles and lighting show many different shades, so unless we get some behind the scenes info from the costume builder, we will probably go with the most commonly seen gray across the limited scenes. This doesn't mean that can't or wont get updated as more info comes to light.

Welcome to FISD Tristan, very nice work on that helmet sir!

Thanks Justin, yes we always default to the real armour for a base, making guesses on a game version shouldn't be considered when we have a lot of references from the movies so things like the glove stitching, no side seams should stay true to what they have based this character off. The main references of difference being the helmet visor and pauldron are very well detailed, and you have done an excellent job of both those. As you well know, we don't make calls on strapping because it is something you cant see. As Gauge wears a double sided pauldron that is cut right up to the neck seal it conceals both shoulder bridge areas completely of the back and under chest connecting area. I think it is fine that you do not need to make that a one piece item and can leave that joint as is if you are using the DN kit. This area will never be seen. I will be creating the origin Wiki doc for the CRL later this weekend so we should continue to discuss the wording of this CRL and any potential additions etc. When you are complete and ready with your CRL images, please put them all in a google drive and PM me the link so I can get them ready to add to the CRL

If anything perhaps a touch too high, drop it a few mm and take another photo please.

Welcome to FISD Eleanor, plenty of help available, just ask as many questions as you need.

Ultimately, there isn't anything sad for FISD about this news, we know our costumes aren't cheap. As Glen mentioned, we are by far and above, the most requested character at events and troops and predominantly our members have to build/assemble our costumes rather than have them made by someone else. Our costumes take time and plenty of care to not only construct, but also maintain to get the best life out of them, and we relish in polishing our armour before troops. There is a lot to be very very proud of when it comes to our catalogue of costumes, loads to be very happy about and not to forget we have no less than four new to legion costumes currently under construction along with their CRL preparation. Just look at the motivation this whole event has created for us, and with these new costumes on top, even more will become Stormtroopers. So turn that frown upside down and get cracking on your new TK today

Please see below the links for four CRL's FISD currently has under construction and discussion. If we managed to get any more under way, they can also be added to the active WIP list. It is awesome to see that we have members working hard towards some exciting new additions to the detachments roster that will aid in further growing and enticing members to our friendly home. These are what we have, and if you have input or can assist these members in bringing their dreams to reality, please feel free to participate in the build threads. Commander Pyre NOW APPROVED, CRL IN LIBRARY. Artillery Trooper NOW APPROVED, CRL IN LIBRARY. (The Mandalorian) Imperial Armored Commando NOW APPROVED, CRL IN LIBRARY. Lt. Gauge (games based character) built to realistic vision. Captain Cardinal NOW APPROVED, CRL IN LIBRARY.

Follow the colour scheme of the book cover and Black series figure. They both show a black cape and that grayish or Matt silver trim. Impossible to know a fabric type due to the formats we have to go off, but if Phasma is anything to go off with her cape, eve that would only be a rough guide adjusting the colour scheme to suit the references we have.

Wow, I had no idea lol.

Good to see the motivation here, also there is another CRL in the works as per a members updated thread earlier today, so we are doing fine.

I'd like to also note this character is based off TFA armour and there fore you are making and assumption there are no seams on the abdomen. The shoulders /back you would never see so that one make sense to me, but you have some convincing to do on the mid section I would wager Edited to add an additional thought as I ponder this costume, You mention the figures with square ends, which I get, but you need to choose a path not mix and match. Real world finger tips are round so if you go that real world route, then you need to continue with continuity and assemble the armour as seen on screen like all other game related characters have materialized as CRL's, or choose a game version and build it like the pictures. For the record, square ended gloves wouldn't look great in my opinion lol.

Firstly, you need to be able to take a joke Justin. You have also edited this post numerous times adding in and changing details, which doesn't bring the topic back up to the top so discussions could be continued easily. Personally I am glad you chose to make the edit you made just now, yes Isaw it and it remains in the edit logs of this thread. Secondly the CRL needed a costume builder, which at the time we did not have. Now it seems we do, and so a CRL can be created. It also seems you have more references now also, so the task of making the CRL requires no guess work on details we can't see. I think initially all we saw was the trailer for the game as it hadn't been released, cant say I have time to actually play these games sadly so many are reliant on what we have here. Creating the text for the CRL is the easy part, having all the images and doing the photo shop work to cut from backgrounds etc is where the time is taken up, so once you are ready with your photos, they don't need to be edited, we can certainly do that for you, then we can get serious on making this a reality and another costume for our catalogue and members.

Excellent Logan, your hard work has paid off. Now what we need are the photos of all the parts separate as per how the R1 TK CRL looks. Us it as your guide when taking the photos , we do this for consistency across our CRLs. Check it out and if you can supply me the same similar set of images, i can get to work removing the backgrounds and building the complete CRL, of which you will be the CRL model. If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me a PM so we can discuss. Exciting times are now very close.

I do our roster maintenance a couple of times a year. Feedback from legion is several detachments do not do their maintenance remove retired members and adjusting their access. I wonder when the JRS roster was actually maintained last?? They could be living a false dream if it hasnt been touched in a few years. Its a monumental task to for the record. I spend at least 5 hours each time I update ours, not fun, so I understand when dets don't do it.

Congratulations Kris, welcome to Expert Infantry. That's one less to go to get us to The 1500!!

Congratulations Tyler!

Only requirement is no logos can be seen and the stitching is black. I purchased off ebay, but there is local compression gear available as per the above post.

I fired shots back earlier today, but lets remember, this is all in good fun, and everyone commenting, please be respectful on social meadia etc. They can have a joke about being able to sit, we will soon have a CRL that also easily allows that in the Imperial Commando. All our costumes are also In universe, none are made up like the Tie reserve so let them have their fun and moment of artificial glory that was a joke by the way. What can we do to increase numbers other than creating something that doesn't exist. Easy, lets focus on building our new Imperial Commando CRL to assist in getting members more easily on their journey to approval. usually we wait for a builder, but nothing is stopping us from writing the descriptive side of this CRL and gathering everything we have and know, to putting those pieces together. If we get that down and publish the skeleton on the forums in the new area, we are guiding our members to an easier build. We are also 3 photos away from Pyre going to the LMO's and bang that's another approval and CRL to inspire others. Lets get it done and keep having fun. Don't take this rivalry be a set back, lets use it to build momentum and lets keep pushing The 1500. This months catch cry to start with the Newsletter is The 1500 Strength in numbers! Kind of ironic actually but lets go for it. We got this FISD we got this.

Welcome back Gwen, we have plenty of horses so take your pick. This community is here to help you in every way we can and it would be great to see you come full circle with your armour or a new set. Also make sure to hook up with your local garrison for some close to home support as well. If you don't know who your local garrison is, let us know what area or region you are in and we can get you those contact details. Welcome to FISD!

Looks like 850 armor works to me Glen.
