Amazing work ken!!

So many options, well when you consider they actually converted 20 R1 sets of armour that's going to be a lot.

We are as equally happy to have you on board, GJ
Welcome to FISD!

That helmet looks amazing!
Looking a reference images, Enoch chest plate is or appears to be considerably wider than the standard R1 style chest.
I realise these aren't scaled equally but the neck opening is noticeable as is the flare out at the shorter base of the chest

Once the facecast was over, the face of a zombie was sculpted in plasticine.
This is just awesome. Custom zombie face based off your own face. Next level brother, next level!!

Hi! I hope all of you are feeling very well.
For several years now I had not been able to start the project of a Death Trooper, one of them is that I delved into other 501st costumes, the most ambitious was Cad Bane. At the beginning of 2023 I started working on Tk's helmet to turn it into a zombie. I was fortunate enough to investigate this wonderful forum where I found very valuable information.
Without further words I will show you how the project is going…
Great news, Jorge, we are looking forward to seeing your photos.

To answer your question on all currently approved Legacy costumes, they would become what legion calls "Grandfathered in".
This means they no longer meet the CRL, but as it stand, they also don't have to upgrade their costumes to match the CRL.
If they left legion and rejoined, then they would need to have them re approved at basic level and make any changes to meet the CRL.
There has been talk at legion level of trying to change that rule, so any member would technically have a time frame where they had to update their costume to meet the current standard.
I can see how there would be members not in support of such a change, and others that would update their costumes without hesitation. That would also be dependent on how much work that would involve, no doubt.

Just a touch too much yellow. I know it's a photo and could be the lighting too, but it looks like the yellow isn't mixed in enough or could be just slightly thicker in areas making it stand out more.
Experimentation is all part of it, I'm sure you will get it closer with patience, just keep at it nice and steady.

Welcome to FISD Ted!
Are you edging towards the original trilogy Stormtrooper kit or First Order kit?
Either way we have lists of recommended vendors for both kinds, and each type of armour has its own section as you may have discovered while visiting our forums already.
Looking for ward to seeing which d\way you go and watching your progress as you build your chosen kit.
Ask plenty of questions and you will receive excellent advice.

For some context on basic level changes to a CRL, because it effects entry into the 501st, the LMO team (Legion level) would make a final decision on what they believe are fair changes.
This is done via a Poll of the LMO team and or suggestions of change that may not align with what you are aiming for.
The higher levels are handle by the detachment with less input from the LMO team. Generally they sometimes request different phrasing or change of word etc, but generally allow the detachments to build the case for higher improvements.
There have been instances where a part of a built, kit or, components, (let's use boots simply because that's the part currently under discussion), do not match the reference material (that's important) they simply won't green-light the CRL which means it is open and active for members to build against and get approved.
If you are edging towards one over another, add in images of the two and what it is about them, you wish to change.
Just on the two versions of the Trooper, if they are never shown with a combination of items from the different source materials, then it needs to be pointed out in a CRL that this component can only be worn with that component and cant be miss matched. Differences in the helmet matching specific backplate, those type of things.
We do this with accessories to keep it easier for members to read and understand so they get their build right and approved. The same would go for higher levels.
Comic books are far from ideal to use as a costume base, considering we are building in a live action manner and some things, as we all aware, just don't translate across well.

Hi Brian,
you can certainly have a lot of fun with the Death trooper costume, they do look pretty cool, specially when you see a few together.
As Glen mentioned, it is always worthwhile checking in with your local unit command to see if they have any trooping restrictions with that or other costumes.
If they are easy with it, then it is a stronger case for your consideration going down that path for sure.

Congratulations Greg, one you will never forget and many, many more troops to come.

Well done mate, you are cruising through this easily.

Definitely reach out to the Southern Cross Garrison, a bunch of great people who will give you excellent local assistance.

If we consider original trilogy return edge, it’s not something of strong focus.
the reason being some of the armour had them, most of the parts actually didn’t.
Where return edge comes into our world is basically to give the real armour a look of thickness, rather than actual 1.5mm thickness of the ABS material it is made of.
On some parts, return edge is either desirable or necessary, on other parts it is either not needed or minimal in width for wearability and to an extent, pure comfort.
A sculpted figurine will generally come down to artistic license, so there can be differences from various source materials plus we have never seen a live action version of this character. Due to this a happy medium can be drawn.Your points on the weapons are interesting, and it is a shame the B version armour parts aren’t readily available otherwise it would be easy to have both an A and B option in the one CRL and all would be easy.
Fantastic input and research on this great character so far, you are definitely on the right track here with your outstanding observations.
