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.

Looks spot on, nice work.

Congratulations Barry, welcome to Centurion rank sir

You are doing this 850 kit great justice, keep up the excellent work Bob.

So much detail work going into this, Chris, what an amazing build thread. I can't wait to see this one complete and of course a video of it in full action

So this comes back to my earlier post, if it is considered something minor, the CRL simply needs to reflect 2 images one with this lower strip, one without and a language update to reflect both are allowable. It could be changed at basic and not mentioned in L2 or L3 so it is good across all levels and variations of this armour.

Greetings again Leander, the Captain Enoch section shall be your new home and will be great to have a build thread to start populating this new sections with excellent content. As you have already seen, we are building resources and preparing to create a CRL for this new and exciting costume. You will be one of the first to take this journey with us, and we are here to assist as much as possible in brining this costume to life for Legion. Once again, welcome aboard.

Welcome to FISD Amanda! As you are gathering, there is no shortage of information, imagery and help at hand. We are probably the most active Detachment in the legion when it comes to members ready to assist and help make your Stormtrooper dream a reality. Yes, this forum can be overwhelming, so please simply ask as many questions as you need, we are here to assist.

Welcome to FISD Nick. I think the 2 choices offered above are currently the right solutions based on your stature. AP redid their moulds a few years back to make the armour more accurate, but to also suit a wider range of body types. It's well-made and certainly suitable. AM has always been on the slight lager size. I have built a few of both these kits for members, and you won't be disappointed which ever path you take. Enjoy your new journey into hard armour, we are here to help.

Congratulations Brian, fantastic result and an official welcome aboard.

Perhaps a combination of brighter and dimmer LED's, again this can be controlled via resistors. You could also use an Arduino board and write some code to get it to flicker irregularly depending on how far you want to take it. Add a sound board, a speaker and a micro SD reader and add some funky flamethrower sounds even. Sky is the limit, like the work this member did in creating a set-up for his E-11

Ahh, I see what you mean, so the additional piece at the base of the belt is wider on some than on others, got it. Should it matter if it is wider or narrower as seen in those images above, as long as it is there? I mean that could differ between makers and 3D files to a degree anyhow right, so does it matter?

This Poll is now closed. Thank you to everyone who participated. The majority of votes were a positive to make changes allowing some more flexibility with First Order blasters per the descriptor explanation at the top of this thread. This will be taken into consideration and further discussions had regarding the potential changes.

Certainly seeing the strip on the bottom of almost every screen cap, and image you have shared. To me, this is meant to be there as part of the original design, so it should remain as an integral part of the costume. As we don't focus on one-off or exact screen replication like MEPD, I suggest until we do, if ever, then the belt should remain as a complete and by far most common seen on screen part of the CRL. Detachments standard CRL practice

We could make both acceptable as long as we have both images in the CRL's Seems like always there are reason why some are modded or simply broken. I think if it was clear it is a broken piece, then that is a costume malfunction and a no-go like gaffer tape etc. Certainly plenty of references showing the lower tab and the interlocking parts across the top like a hero version??

I think, what ever you choose to use in lining your helmet, it makes a difference. The internal becomes a personal thing with some adding 3D printed pieces emulating air filtration systems and the like, others just the black-out, and some go full electronics in the way of hearing/ mic and fan systems. What ever you fancy, there are plenty of options available, so plan out what suits you and your vision and go for it.

Welcome aboard Leander. As Glen mentioned, visible print lines were a change we made a couple of years back when more and more printed items and files became available. The CRL for this costume is in the early stages so we need a person to work with to build it right, this is where you can come in as a builder. All CRL's requires photos of all the parts to be complete and approved at the Legion level. Team work makes the dream work, and we are here to assists in every way we can.
