dutchy Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 9 hours ago, Caomhanach said: Nice start on the CRL. I think it is also a good idea to start with ANH armor for TD approval but then for PO and SWAT, the ROTJ it has to be. On the CRL, couple of comments. "The standard configuration calls for a minimum of one pouch on the left shoulder" - Clearly not the case (See the pic at the top of this page - only 1 out of three). Do we say it is there for basic but then removed for Level 2 or 3? Shoulder straps - We have the bust pic showing ribbed straps (see CrookKnights back build thread) so do we dictate white elastic waistband same as original? Back pack frame - Do we have good pics showing the frame?  I went looking for the HD Ref pics showing the SE Trooper but couldn't find them so some of the comments are from memory. Thanks for chiming in here bro. Yeah, there is only one trooper that can be seen wearing a pouch, the dewbackrider. We could make that a #2 requirement or only #3 now that I have read your suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchy Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 @CrookKnight, again..Thanks for all your input and hard work. I'm looking forward to the complete armor...exciting times!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenFriday77 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 HeyHo. Good work on the CRL so far!But: Level 2 for the helmet says 'details must be hand painted'. RotJ-helmets were not hand-painted, they used Decals for everything. So this should be changed. TD 31037 reporting in!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrookKnight Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Here is a link to the current version of the Magmatrooper CRL. Â It is not complete and the pictures have not yet been updated, but it is a good reference.

CrookKnight Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Here are final pictures of the pack. Â I will take pictures wearing it, tonight (USA-EST). Â Keep in mind. Â This is the level 1 pack. Â The level 2 pack will be identical to the toy this is being modeled after. Â Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrookKnight Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Here you go. Â I tried to go with what would be level 1 for the pictures. Â Since we will need ROTJ armor, a new pack, and some other changes for the higher level. Â I am actually going to look into ROTJ armor, since it is being used so much in the Battlefront Games.

CrookKnight Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Looking forward to it. After I do the rotj armor then I want to do the Rogue one armor for the other two packs.Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveMonkey Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 So I've got the wording pretty much done. I'm having a Garrison mate help me get the pictures ready for the CRL since I'm not good with photoshop. Once he's done I'll post up the final version. Hopefully later today or tomorrow.Thanks for everyone's patience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABS shells are the way to go. - Chest-armor: Original Strapping in RotJ didn't use brackets and screws, so they shouldn't be present for LvL2/3. - Backpack: There is no SE Trooper without a pack, so why is it optional? I'm still not happy with the ANH-Armor being used for basic approval. We are one of the most accurate detatchments and we're proud of it. Why lower our standards by accepting ANH-Armor for the SE-Trooper when it clearly is RotJ? But I don't want to make a fuss, just my 2 cents 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
