With your assistance Teresa, I would like to get this underway at your earliest convenience.

It is obvious both these CRL's require some updates and refined explanations to help both those who wish to build the costume and GML's who approve then at basic level.

We must make sure that those parts that can be shared between TFA and TLJ are clearly defined, and those that can not due to significant shape and design are also outlined.

I've made a start on TFA Phasma in the below post, with just a few minor suggestions and grammatical correction.

Had a little time so just adding a few things common between Phasma and FOTK's, there is quite a lot we don't have as L2 on the FOTK's this is either because the pieces are hard to acquire Or we are balancing the L2 and L3 requirements.

 

I would like to see the rubber gaskets as L3 same as the FOTK's, I know there is no L2 requirement but rubber gaskets used to be readily available but I'm not aware of anyone supplying rubber gaskets at this time, L2 should be a level that is easily obtainable.

Teresa and I have been speaking and  she has a few Phasma's lined up to help us out with the CRL work.

This CRL needs much consideration and re writing in a few areas as will the TLJ version.

I'd just like to add, we are not in a hurry to pump this out as it has needed work since it's inception and the aim of this thread is to pool our ideas before buckling down and making Phasma CRL's the best they can be for our members.

As they currently stand, they aren't really fit for purpose when it comes to Expert Infantry ( no level 3 currently) and they are not clear in definition separating TFA from TLJ with several elements.

As well as the written components, new imagery may also need to be used as our CRL's are a combination of the two mediums. We also have the ability to add an extended gallery to these CRL's which will also make a difference to GML's and members alike.

This will take as long as it takes and neither Teresa or I intend to rush this process.

All staff and attache's are welcome to input for these costumes, as I would like to make sure we have good discussion points to create a full brief before we move to the next stage of allowing membership feedback.

I envisage this overhaul will indeed effect basic and EI approvals so all care must be taken to get them as fair and accurate as we can.

 

All input will be under consideration.

Those that are trying to achieve EIB and centurion currently, would you like me to reach out to them to tell them that until the crls are concreted, there is no moving forward in their applications. Not yet. As how can one grant them the levels without clear concise details and costuming rules to follow. We will get them. As best as we can.

I’m happy to respond to them if needing or wishing.

Not sure How everyone is situated but we have a few weeks left before elections that could be used to put thought into these CRL's.

Hopefully they get the attention they deserve after the fun and games of the 501st political season. Just wanted to bump the thread to keep it front of mind :)

Psst.
Ok.
Let’s do this.
Let’s kick the new term off with this Captains CRL.
I just need a bit of discussion before I get going.

Hoping you are all well.
Congratulations to everyone on another term, and for surviving this all somehow to date.
And again to you Andrew, for remaining in your DL position uncontested. A testament for us all.

Unfortunately some of the threads are void of images as the links are broken.

I'll fix the photobucket water marks though so they will be easy to see.

Fixed what I could, but looking much better.

Unfortunately all of Ingrid (Ladyinwhite) images are broken links and I can not restore them.:(
