Hi @DrMattMatt, some of your images aren't showing and when you click the links they are broken.

I'm also not seeing all the photos.

 

This isn't a CRL I'm very familiar with at all, but besides some minor dressing issues (belt, knees) it looks great. Fantastic job on the finish/painting.

 

Might be good to include some closeups of armor pieces for additional feedback.

That's strange.  They all show up for me... If anyone else has issues, let me know!

This will be the second completed build in the word (the other is the one is what the CRL is based on).

Thanks for the feedback!

Corrupted files!  Thanks for the catch...  Should be fixed now.

Not sure if it's a dressing issue, eg the legs just have to be tucked into the boots more, but from the back the legs of the flight suit seem a touch too large. It's not a form fitting suit, but if you look at this still from the show you can see the legs seem less baggy:

Yeah... I'm going to add some straps to the bottom on the pant legs so it's much less baggy.

Matt, you have done a great job on this costume.  Looking over it as compared to the CRL, here is what your GML may point out.

 

1. You appear to be missing the retention snaps with the black button closure on the holster. I am not sure if it is just obscured in the photos

2. Overall dressing, your knee armour could be better lined up with your shins - the reduction of the baggy undersuit above the shins may help this as well

GREAT catch!  I totally forgot the retention snaps...  and, yes, the knee and thighs are going to be much better.  Thanks!

Been away on vacation for two weeks... no more comments!  Once I address these issues, what's the next step?

Contact your local GML (garrison membership liaison) you will need to submit full length photos in costume, front, back, side, side, action and helmet off, most garrisons have a similar process, information will be on your local garrison forum. Also fill in the Legion membership application.
