Thanks Brit. Unfortunately the numbers or links are not the kind we are able to recover. It would need Ingrid to jump in and re instate those images. Would indeed be a pity to lose them forever. You can rely on the fact that her links for the tutorial she had started work on are still active and there is some good info within. https://goo.gl/QZYhBE

Hey Mario, I have a favor to ask you sir. can I trouble you for a photo of all the armour parts laid out on the floor. The reason I ask this is we dont have any comparison images of say a KB kit vs a 850 armor works kit vs a Jimmy, or the mystical Anovos kit lol, and I'd like to put something like that together for our members. Thanks and back to our usual programing

Oh good to see more progress, keep it up Brit.

Question, what are you doing for the helmet? did 850 supply one or are you using something different?

Looking good Gretchen, good luck with your approval. The items the guys have mentioned will certainly get you looking as sharp as possible and in a better position if you intend to go for our higher levels of Expert Infantry and Centurion approval.

Way to go Ty, I'll have to catch up with you and checkout this new plastic. It's going to be a fun build.

Some really good points being made and good to see the progression. Yes agreed R1 should gain the Anthology tag and if the Solo version are identical no reason Solo can’t be added to the title of the same CRL When I mentioned a miss match of helmets that was from some screen grabs posted in one of the threads here showing very sharp cheek structure on the face plate so looks very much like an Anovos OT Bucket. It would be a whole lot easier if that is actually not correct and it is just the one helmet used across all the LFL production suits in Mando. If the shiny is the same as Solo and R1 no need for another CRL it's just part of the Anthology and we create a new CRL to support the weathered variant and perhaps it is named Remnant as has been mentioned already.

Good information Jason, I think we can suspend them from the list until we get some positive feedback again. Please note. I have amended the listing on page 1 of this thread with the following Please Note HeadShotProps is temporarily suspended as a recommended vendor, until they are back to normal and gain positive feedback from our members. HeadShotProps Armor, Helmet https://www.etsy.com/listing/830810037/rogue-one-stormtrooper-armor-kit?ref=shop_home_feat_4 The armor is vacuum formed and looks very similar to 850AW, although the TD looks better in the pics than the 850AW TD. The helmet looks to be a nice pull, this helmet is roto cast with greebles.

Yes, I am more on board with "Anthology" than"Remnant" and your information certainly does seem to dictate that is what they should be. Using Mandalorian for the Incinerator and artillery also makes sense as they are definitely a standout to that show, that is unless we see them used in Andor as well. The CRL title can always be changed to reflect differently in any event.

Firstly Justin, it's no trouble lol, this is how things progress. Anthology sounds like the right way to go, but the movie or show title should stay and I say this in case we start to see more variants. We already have miss-matches occurring with Anovos helmets and the R1 style bucket. R1 approval as it currently stands is a Shiny white, so that CRL is not suitable for remnant as they are all weathered or battle damaged so no need to drop the R1 title. On these new guys howerer, they may not need to state (The Mandalorian) specifically if we are going to see the same in the following series and upcoming Andor. Those would not make sense to separate out. We are still FISD and continue to make our own path as we have for the last 15 years. It is other detachments that have generally taken our ideas and in some cases made carbon copies of how we do things. I cant see BHG changing ESB Boba, nor RotJ Boba because there is now 3 new Boba costume variants so that is where I am coming from in this scenario. For the record, I know exactly what they are doing with the new versions as we have discussed it in the past. Yes we have grown, but no one is going to make a CRL without someone building the costume, it's like putting the horse before the cart. For absolute clarity, I have confirmed with the LMO team on the correct order of how things work and their response is as it always has been. References first, then costume build, then CRL is written. If someone wants to build a particular costume, past has shown they will because they want to be the CRL model or the first in legion with that costume. We are here to support those that wish to trail blaze and write the CRL with the builder. Without the reference images or the required images for the CRL, it won't get approved so we need the costume under construction considering it is very similar to the Rogue One there already exists a base, its the weathering details and working out which helmet forms the main CRL helmet and the possibility of the alternate. I thought I would just add this in copied directly from legion forums on CRL's What is a CRL? A CRL (Costume Reference Library) is a guide for GMLs to judge a costume. CRLs are published documents that can be updated as new or more accurate references are available. CRLs exist both in the wiki and in the Member Database, but are only entered into the latter after a member has completed a costume that is eligible for 501st inclusion. For more specific information on what our Operations Protocol has to say about CRL's, please see here. The section I have underlined above is where the member/s work with the detachment to write the CRL. This is done as the build progresses where there is no existing base line. In the case of these, we already have a baseline that needs to be fleshed out suitabley to capture the nuances of the "Anthology weathered" look and capture any stand out differences. We also need to add the weapon differences as accessories for the CRL and work on what mandates level 2 and 3 from basic. Detachments Detachments are Legion communities that are helpful for members who wish to create a costume. CRLs do not offer advice or give specifics on on how to construct a costume. Detachments do offer guidance and support for costumers in that area. They also offer a place for like costumes to post tips and tricks or tutorials, host “Work in Progress” of other members’ costumes and ongoing information on current CRL development. A listing of Detachments, their "themes" and their contact information can be found at https://www.501st.com/resources.php. Detachment CRL building is supervised by the LMO (Legion Membership Officer). Hope that all makes sense and shows there is no reason anyone can not start constructing armour now for a CRL, it's up to how bad you want it to how quickly it becomes a reality.

Hey Nick just checking in to see how you are going with this build. looks like we will be the official home for this costume after discussions with Spec Ops Detachment, so let us know when you are ready and we can start work with you on creating the CRL.

Congratulations Chemi, welcome to staff.

Costume Update: After discussion with the Spec Ops DL, they will not be pursuing this costumes as they are working on other CRL's. If you intend to build this and become the CRL model, please make a detailed build thread complete with your research so we can move to writing the CRL once you are closing in on completion. This of course will come under the scrutiny of the LMO team as a new to legion CRL so the better the details you contain in your research and thread, the easier the pass of approval will be.

I have discussed this costume with the Spec Ops detachment leader, and can confirm they are not pursuing this costume. Their current focus is on another character seen in Mandalorian and several specialized characters from recent comics. Looks like it is up to us to create this trooper and build a CRL to suit, but I can see distinct colour differences in the screen grab and the toy version so lets get hold of the production paint codes for accuracy rather than guess work on the screen colour which will be wrong. This may well spur on further investigation for any interested in this character. Can I suggest if anyone wants to become the CRL model, that you make a very detailed build thread containing your research, and as you are nearing completion we nut out the the CRL specifics to submit to the LMO team.

And because of the use of the word "Specialized" guess who will be claiming that CRL. if they haven't already.

Excellent, and thanks for restoring that thread, you beat me to it

If it were simple, then absolutely, the stark reality is, there are hundreds of build threads that have been effected, hundreds, and there are not enough hours in the day to send everyone a PM. If we look at what has already been done as far as trying to resurrect just the threads with Photobucket images, 2 of us have spent the last year plus on this project, and there is at least that again plus some to fix those build threads and also finish the other sections of the forums in the clean up. Sure some of the more recent elaborate builds that we think are of great importance, we will be reaching out to those members, and some of those we have indeed already fixed ourselves, but if members choose to do nothing, then it's going to be the archives until someone has the time and patience to fix those threads. These are aspects that have been neglected for a long time, hence the monumental task we have now. I would just like to add that I have started moving threads to this new sub forum and started with the ANH armour. That forum alone is 60 pages long, and we go through every post to see what is good and what is not. 60 pages, with 25 threads per page. Now sure not every thread needs touching and i have started at page 60 (the oldest page) so you can get an idea from there how long just relocating takes, let alone having to fix photo bucket marked images with some threads having 50 photos in them.

Attention fellow troopers During the forum clean up process we have discovered many build threads that are affected by Photobucket watermarks and or broken image links and missing photos. Some of these we have been able to restore to their former glory, but others not so. Many of these build threads are very very good, and the levels of detail excellent for our new members, but due to some having upwards of 40 images, they are far too much work to attempt to restore by us. We are asking that if you have a build thread on the FISD forums that it may well be subject to the issues as mentioned above. If this is the case, you can expect your thread will be re-located to a temporary holding area called "Build Threads requiring Maintenance" and will be the responsibility of the original poster to fix the photo and image issues. These build threads will only be held in this temporary area for a period of 6 months, and if not attended to in that time frame will be permanently archived. All threads that are fixed by the original poster, will be returned to their rightful homes under the specific costume designation build threads on the forums. If you value your build thread and its information please attend to it before it is moved from view. Glen and I will start to populate the maintenance sub forum over the next few days. here is the link https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/241-build-threads-requireing-maintenance/ We appreciate your assistance with this, and hope to see at least some of these brilliant builds and history restored.

That is very cool and very clever. Well done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As far as CRL work goes, the plan is to commence updates and re writes in the second half of this term. (August through to next Feb) Considering these greeblies will not have any baring on any of the levels of accuracy, there is no rush to have them added to the CRL. These will require a new back end template to be made to facilitate the addition of the images and the explanation of the greeblies. That template can not be created by the detachment it requires the LMO team to create the template. As far as the discussion went, these are not seen on every blaster, nor is the positioning consistent. Not only this, most of the greeblies are not visible on screen so it is only a guess, how many had one, some, or a full set. Because of all of this, the little information we have really doesn't support mandating it at any level, it's just maybe a "nice to have"

Hey Phil, how’s it going brother, man that’s an epic story lol, glad you got it there in the end. Hope to catch up with you again next time you're in Brisbane. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
