They finally released the HD version!

Great list! Thanks for sharing!
I usually bring a pre threaded needle in case any sew on Velcro or Snaps come loose.

Screen from first episode. Note the cut vents. We do not need a seperate CRL for the R1/Solo/Mando TKs outside of minor option updates to the main CRL unless there are major deviations. There is zero reason to add a ANH bucket to these TKs.

It's not a R1/Solo helmet though. Differently shaped eyes, tears and traps don't appear to be a separate pieces and the mouth looks more like an anh one to me.

Looking good!

Yeah, regardless of the knee plate, I'm still really excited to see a Scout Trooper on screen again! I was surprised when they didn't use them in rogue one!
-
Or just have some reference pictures of the original costumes on hand, so they can make sure they are suiting the actors up correctly!

The new teaser trailer for the Mandalorian released recently and confirmed that there was scout troopers in it! Upon closer inspection of the trailer, I noticed that the scout troopers were having a bit of a malfunction...
You can't see the rest of the costume, but the upside down knee pads are pretty noticeable.
The costume that I'm assuming was from the Mandalorian was displayed at SDCC.
You can see the upside down knee pads in the first picture, as well a few other "malfunctions". The knee pads were fixed in the second picture, but there is still that wonky cummerband and belt. We can't see the scout's torso in the trailer, but hopefully it isn't like it was at SDCC...

Thanks for sharing the pics, Caleb! I still can't get over what an amazing job you did on this.

Thank you!

Troop #2: Halloween Trick-or-treat 10/31/19
Had a wonderful Halloween. I just walked around the neighborhood, getting stopped by Trick-or-treaters for pictures!
I also got some pictures in better lighting!
This is me and my brother, who was dressed as a ghost from Ninjago.
The people handing out candy at the houses got a kick out of seeing me coming up to their door!
It was freezing out! plus it was super windy! It was the first time that I didn't sweat in costume!
Happy Halloween!

Nice Trailer, not more
The movie will be awesome regarding scenes, art and pictures. But my expectation after the last two episodes (especially the last one) is, that this movie will not bring the story to an end that I could call star warsy or that will correct the disaster from Episode VIII
Don't missunderstand me. I look forward to see this movie like all other episodes in cinema with the same friends since Epsiode VII and Rogue One on the big screen. But I expect absolutely nothing. So this movie could only get better
Regarding the last Trailer, I did not feel anything. Not even goose bumps.
In comparison, I saw the "Mandalorian"-Trailer this week. This Trailer has much more Star Wars feeling than the last two Saga movies together including goose bumps.
Same here!

Is that a crack on the bottom corner of the backplate, or could just be dirt I suppose, these guys are pretty dirty.
Looks like a crack to me. Plus, the TK's he's killing outside look cleaner than the ones inside.

Thank you!
I finished the field pack and pauldron! The pack was a lot lighter than I thought it would be and doesn't do any damage to the armor like I was afraid it was going to do!
Here's the pack
The top box has a removable panel on it, so I can carry whatever in it.
The Antenna is removable for easier storage and so I can make through small doorways.
I also bought some dishwashing gloves today. There nice and long, so I don't have worry about any of my wrist showing!
I took it all out for a test run tonight! It all works pretty well, but I definitely won't be able to wear it indoors, unless it's a con floor. I'ts too big!
It's a little hard to see all the details at night. I'll get some daytime pictures on Halloween!

Ah, okay. That makes sense. I guess we'll wait and see.

So, will there be a new CRL made for the super weathered TK's once the show comes out?
-
Thanks!
I'm almost ready to paint my pack, but I wanted to figure out strapping first. I plan on making backpack style straps. Does anyone know of a way to keep them from slipping of my shoulders?
Here is the pack's frame.
And here is the 1 1/2" webbing I got for it!
-
I finished my T-21! It's lightweight and has an adjustable strap. I honestly never realized how big T-21's were and I was surprised when it started coming together!
Here it is!
I'm having a few problems with the way my pauldron is laying, but I should be able to fix it. The pack is getting closer to being finished too! I just need to add a few details!
Here's what I have so far.

Not sure how I feel about this TK variant. I kind of like it in some of the figures and kind of don't. I think it's a question of the white and black areas balancing out well. It will be interesting to see what it looks like on screen!
I agree. I'm not sure how accurate the figure is, but the all white legs are not very appealing. I guess we'll see how they look on-screen!
-
That's an awesome weapon! I agree with all your points! But even if it isn't added to the CRL for an HWT, you could always use it on unofficial troops!

Thanks!
I finished my updated TD. The first on I made was far too small, but the new one looks much better on my belt!
Here's a size comparison!

Troop #1: Cincinnati Comic Expo 8/21/19
The Cincinnati Comic expo was the debut of my costume! I wore it for nine hours and it was surprisingly comfortable! I know that sounds really weird, but comfort in a costume for me is not having to worry about anything falling of, or slipping down. I also installed fans in my helmet, so it was actually cooler with it on, than off!
It was SUPER crowded there and I was stuck in the con floor with people crammed in all around me. I was a little bit worried that people would get mad at me if I stayed in character and I wasn't sure if I would do it, but I got so frustrated because we were in dead stop traffic that I just yelled "Step aside!!". Surprisingly everyone did! I could hear people laughing or saying "That's so cool!" As I pushed past! So for the rest of the day I interrogated people and forced my way around as if I owned the place!
Just like a real stormtrooper!
The costume also won first place in the Journeyman level of the costume contest! Journeyman is the second of three levels.
The Kenner card they had there worked out perfectly!
Even though my costume was pretty comfortable, it was still a long day
I would also like to clarify any misconceptions about EVA foam not being sturdy. I wore this thing all day and it received little to no damage. I you know how to make it correctly and don't crash around like a bull in a china shop, then it will be fine!
There are a few upgrades I am working on. I'm making a new TD because my original one is too small. I will also be adding some more velcro to my TK belt, because it was slipping down just a little with the weight of the holster.
I'm also working on a pauldron, R1 style hard field pack and a T-21 blaster for Halloween! I'll post pics of them when I am finished!

Sand Troopers

Yeah, that used to confuse me too. I think they were already stationed at a Garrison on Tatooine. It just seems like they came from Darth Vader's Star Destroyer.
