The week starts on a Monday here too, I thought that was common, but obviously not.

Check out our Vendors list for First Order armour and accessories. You have options with what you buy and where it is made, so i'm sure if you venture down this path, you will find something that suits you

In my opinion, I think it best not to even attempt that in this day and age. The calendar would be almost in not full, not allowing anyone to mark their own occasions in it, and for sure some will be missed as we are global. What about a different Red days' idea. Focus on FISD and or Legion milestone and important days. Examples: FISD anniversary or birthday 501st day Victory 1000 day (The day we hit 1000 EIB) 500 day (The day we hit 500 Centurions) May the 4th Revenge of the 5th Date that SW was released, ESB RotJ (keep those US centric) as they hit cinemas their first no doubt) Think important dates in the life of FISD and the Legion, keep them Star Wars focused because none of that would upset or let anyone feel left out. I'm sure there are plenty more special dates from the detachment passed and present that are of significance, and worthy of a place in this new calendar.

Here is the response from Behr paints. Exclusive product to Home Depot. Hi Andrew, thank you for your interest in Behr. As it turns out, our products are sold exclusively through The Home Depot and are not available for purchase or delivery in Australia. We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you again for reaching out. Have a great day!

Rustoleum is not a great paint, at least the stuff they sell here. Several members and locals here in my garrison have had lack lustre results. Paint fry even after thorough pre-prep and bad batches of paint etc. This Berh Premium sounds like a good alternative, but haven't seen it in Australia yet. I have reached out to them to see if they have a distributed here, as I am keen to check it out myself. Will post their response.

You can use the boiling water method to try and loosen up the end caps. Boil the kettle, pour water into a pot, immerse one end cap into the water approx 3/4 of it width into the water holding it vertically. Keep it there for a minute, so the plastic can heat and soften a little, then try and wiggle or screw that end off. The aim is to get the ABS to soften as it will slightly expand. I think once you get one end off, the other will be much easier as you can access it from the inside and gently tap it off. Use a broom handle slide the TD over the top and tap it against the top of the broom stick, it should come off no problem, just take it nice and easy.

Do it!

Excellent.

Paul Vader!

Start calling you the Red Mummy shortly

Great updates Glen

Awesome momentum Brian, keep up the outstanding work.

There were also a lot less sets of armour dressed as Sandtroopers compared to the vast array of Stormtroopers. Looking a little broader, it also affects more than one movie and a couple of scenes, there are many more variations and possibilities which starts to diminish the ideal of a large army of identical, clean and crisp TK's like seen on the Death Star. We have more members who want that look and polish their armour frequently. In their minds, every troop is a parade. I have posted on several occasions about the viability of a level 4 possibility, but those conversations have never gone far, and part of that could well be because of what I just said above. Too many possibilities might make for a lot of work, and unless there is enough dedication and motivation from more than a couple of members, it just doesn't move forward. We have never been about prop replication, but do note, after approval and even after centurion, you own the armour. I have seen troopers not just in my garrison but across the world who then go on to modify their armour not just for look but also better comfort. There are more calls for dumbing down our CRL's rather than amping them up to higher levels of difficulty, not to forget lvl 2 and 3 are totally optional and have no effect on base 501st admission and approval.

Updates made to main post for vendors.

I'll second Glens comment. Also heard that several of their models have holes in, which creates print issues. I played around with the FO Helmet file, and it needed a lot of work to bring it up to scratch.

I was speaking to them before Christmas.

This is how it will look. The server hasn't updated yet, so can only see it in the Origin Wiki doc. Checked the Artillery, and it is the same template for the belt, so will be automatically the same.

I may have mentioned somewhere in this thread, it is possibly a shared template. This means if I update one, any other CRL legion wide that uses that same belt template will be automatically changed. I will know for sure once I have access and make the change. Then it's a matter of contacting any other det to inform them the template they may have used has now changed. Sharing a template seems an easy way out but it kind of sucks too lol. No issue for our own CRL's, confusing for others that chose to copy and paste sections of our CRL's and not modify certain parts of the code for their own CRL's

CRL Unlock has been requested, we now wait.

Welcome Christian, glad to see you have found your way here. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask as many as you need, we are here to help.

2 belt updates to be made at basic level would be as follows. The bottom edge of the front belt may run flat across the belt, or may be trimmed at an angle near the cod armor to match screen references. The belt overlaps on the sides Is there enough merit in moving this section from Lvl 3 to lvl 2? It's rare we ever have dimensions on a CRL because of the issues it can cause, so I understand why it sits at centurion. The front belt protrudes past all mounted ammunition boxes above and below by approximately ⅛"–¼" 3–6mm.

Sorry I should have clarified further, a run should be done, totally agree the prep for merch always takes the longest.

Another easy CRL update. If we are serious, I can request the CRL unlock and make these basic changes over the next few days.

Kinda needs to be done towards the end of a year to have it up for the full 12 months of the following year. I'd love one myself.

This is why base level addition made the most sense to me.
