I am not 100% sure. I bet someone with a few approved costumes could chime in. I think you need to submit to your Garrisons GML. It will be taken care of on the Legion level and then it can be approved here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
henselmonster 408 Posted January 12, 2018 Also, last I checked this CRL hasn't been officially published. So you may need to wait until it pops up here: http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:MEPD_CRL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Airborne Trooper 411 Posted January 29, 2018 Congratulations, Tom. Make sure you fill out the rest of your profile info here too. See how there's more info below people's avatar? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MagmaTrooper 8 Posted January 29, 2018 done also is it still meant to say "pending" where MEPD is? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Airborne Trooper 411 Posted January 29, 2018 Dutchy has to approve it and then the pending will go away. It's important that every member registers with their detachment(s) so they can vote next month. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dutchy 499 Posted January 30, 2018 Done! It's official now Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MagmaTrooper 8 Posted January 30, 2018 awesome stuff, out of curiosity how close am i to PO? having a break from spending on the trooper for a little bit as i need to finish my Groot costume next Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hausi 493 Posted January 30, 2018 I would need to see some detail pics of your helmet and armour to be able to tell. But looking at the pics in this thread, I assume you have used the butt joint and cover strips method(to join the two halves of the thighs for example)? For PO you would have to use the overlap construction method. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigwam 431 Posted January 30, 2018 Yes Tom, For Level 2 Certification, you need the overlap construction method on: upper arm, forearm, thighs and lower legs. This is Part of the CRL from Level 2 : https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TD_Magma_Trooper_-_Battlefront Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
