Rogue One Stormtrooper CRL


Dark CMF

Recommended Posts

Hm interesting. The major part would be narrowing down the areas next to the box with a Dremel to give it that thin, straight look. The bottom of the R1TK back armor kind of spreads out to the underarm area (to where the black plastic is located).

More info on the Ammo belt on the TK.

Ā 

On the belt boxes second to last, they have a miniature ramp on top of them that is angled towards the abdomen.Ā 

Ā 

The belt boxes appear to be separate pieces from the actual belt itself.

Ā 

In addition to, the plastic belt is actually comprised of 2 halves, which connect at the sides of the wearer. The one of the halves will overlap the other, though none specifically. I've seen 2 versions of this overlap, with one being the rear half almost overlapping, or the front. This is result to the velcro fabric belt being worn underneath the ammo belt, which connects it together.Ā 

Ā 

However, I think that the fabric belt could be optional for higher levels, seeing as how it's barely seen (you can see it in the EW pic closeup up above), and one could easily make the ammo belt connect through a snap on one of the halves so the other can overlap it.

Okay guys,
Big news on the R1TK front, I literally just found out about this myself. Our friend Jim (Jimmiriquoi) the same guy who made
amazing sculpts of the First Order Stormtrooper, Shoretrooper, Tanktrooper, and Deathtrooper is now officially working on producing his
Rogue One Stormtrooper Armor, funny how the standard stormtrooper armor availability has come last. Probably because all the excitement
over all the other new costumes Rogue One brought us, but as they say "Save The Best For Last". This is whitearmor after all, and if anyone
is going to produce accurate R1TK armor, the FSID will be the first ones to do it.

Ā 

Hi! Sorry for the long absence from the forum. Was swamped with Shore and Deathtrooper stuff on fb, the rpf, and other forums.
Now working on the R1TK:

Tim - I posted this on Jim's thread, but do let's make sure we keep in sync. It would be pretty bad if he sculpted something not allowable, or if there was a detail we needed to remain in sync on that we missed.

Here's my R1 Black Series mod currently 1f642.png :) I changed the brow to look lower by adding on rubber strips in the front and underside. To hide the seam on the top I put electrical tape over it. I also painted over the gray parts because i intend to repaint them next.

Ā 

After taking these pics I sanded most of it down with really fine sandpaper (1500 grit).Ā This reflects the slightly dull appearance of the screen used piece (though mine is duller. It gives the look I want though).

Also notice the underside of the vocoder has more detail. It is actually comes unattached then attached back again. It is only the middle pieces that do it .

Fun new information regarding the thermal detonator. The disk on top of it in the back is actually the same piece as the DeathTrooper chin lights.Ā

Update to the CRL details regarding the neck seal.

Ā 

*Fabric material is fine for basic, as long as it is black and ribbed.

*Is worn underneath the ribbed shirt/or undersuit (as seen in the close up image a page or 2 ago. You can also see in the Rogue One display from the premiere the ribs of the undershirt in the neck area of the chest armor.)

More information regarding the raised trim on the arm, and leg armor.

Ā 

So what if we went the same route as the other Rogue One CRL's, where the trim is actually just straight pieces of plastic, instead of pieces of plastic with the ends slanted to have a more ramp appearence? Here's what I'm thinking.

Ā 

Lvl 1:

Ā 

*Will be made of 2 pieces of plastic, the top layer being smaller and the ends of the bottom layer visible.

*The top layer doesn't meet the ends of the bottom layer, rather it ends before meeting it.

Ā 

Lvl 2:

Ā 

*The top layer is placed inside a sunk section of the bottom layer. It gives the trim an indented look when the top layer is placed inside.

*All the edges of the bottom layer are slanted, with the top and bottom slanted at a much more defined/shallow angle.

Hey Tim, if it's ok with you, sometime this week I would like to post an updated version of the CRL information seen 2 pages ago (the extremely long CRL post I made, lol!), with the information that has been brought up since.Ā 

Ā 

And you guys were saying that you'd like to see an R1 CRL come up soon, well with all the information that has been stated based off of observations you could have just that! Once the updated information may be brought up to this thread, I was wondering if you Tim and the staff could review it and use it to your needs? If so, I'd include reference images gathered from different forums so that you could proof/change it.Ā

These are great details for levels 2 and 3 :) I would suggest the more precise details like measurements are saved for those, with basic being basic. In regards to shoes I remember the FOTK CRL having options for either OT or TFA, which I heard can be done here.

OT TK Chelsea Boots should be allowed for basic approval at the most, but with that the CRL should even recommend that

"Flat Soles are Preferred".

Ā 

I'm currently working with ireachy and MrPaul on a CRL for the optional accessory Crystal Patrol Pack.

I'm also working on the optional accessory CRL for the Rogue One E-11 Blaster, I've already posted the Rogue One E-11 Blaster Reference thread that is pinned in the new R1 BlasTech E-11 subforum that I started in the Weapons Locker section; http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/41271-rogue-one-e-11-blaster-reference/

The belt is one of the most complex parts of the R1 TK armour. Not only does it have projections that key it to the ab plate - as per Jimmiroquai's posts - Ā but it also has that difficult two-part construction, with the overlaps at the sides. In some pics from the SWCE display the back part of the belt even angles up slightly to the det pack attachment area. It is also probably worth looking at the shoretrooper belt and compare the way that the belt boxes (on the actual belt itself) are constructed. I also think that the hanging belt boxes attach to the belt in a similar way as the shoretrooper ones do. They attach 'into' the belt box detail above them.

I noticed that most of the time the back bvelt overlaps the front but on some examples the front overlaps the back

Thanks everyone. I cleaned up the wording and formatting to make them consistent with the way 501st does their CRLs. Jim - I took your notes and blended them in before posting.

Ā 

You can see the FIRST POST for what it would look like.

Ā 

I'd like to call this "done" next week. We can make minor tweaks to the language. FYI that it is a visual CRL, so we don't have to be perfect in all descriptions. "Look like the picture" can be fine if we provide clear text that helps GMLs decide what is acceptable or not.

Ā 

I *think* I got everything, but it would be great if folks can double check.

Oh, and we *will* need really good pictures for the CRL. Jim - would you be able to submit those on a neutral background? We need something high resolution, but that we can easily photoshop.

Ā 

Or, if someone else has already built Jim's kit, that would work too...

Hey Daetrin, is there a possibility I could use primer paint on my tears/trapazoids? The only gray paint I found that matches is model paint (which I used), but the CRL draft says no to hand painting. It's hard to find the right color gray spray paint at the stores I've checked.
