gmrhodes13 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Here's one of the first cards I have seen with shinny Stormtroopers, one is having a slight malfunction though with his td, maybe he needs a backpack to cover it 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eynonz Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I hope that the bolt action rifle looking weapon is actually in the film and not just an accessory for the toy. It looks really interesting, but I haven't seen it in any movie screen shots yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon_a Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Since this is based on the same armour as Rogue One I think a lot of this crl can just be copied over from the “Jedha Trooper” with certain additions: - The sniper or blast plate on the bucket. - The Plash Palatka poncho - Weathering details - Option of an E10 or Rogue One E11 blasters - Optional 4 pocket bandolier - Optional pack and Pauldron 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the "Stirnschild" from a German WW1-Helmet. Thats an awesome catch! Never would've known. It's stuff like this that deepens my appreciation of SW's character design and research.

Plainsrunner Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 The cape is a plash-palatka dyed black. Soviet military. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be dark green but that part of the movie is so dark it looks black. Honestly unless some behind the scenes footage surfaces we'll probably never know for certain.

Plainsrunner Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 It has to be that. It even has the same leather grommets that are on the WW2 plash palatkas. This is what the mudtroopers are using as well. People making the muds are trying to find the leather grommet varieties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plainsrunner Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Hmm... well most of the shots show it as either black or a charcoal gray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmiroquai Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Hi! I thought i'd chime in and help with the CRL if i can. Here are pics of my R1 kit in Mimban configuration. Parts and full bandolier should be hung on the opposite shoulder. Noticed too late 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henselmonster Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share Posted June 2, 2018 Looks amazing @jimmiroquai thanks for sending those photos. These will help a ton! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikelbrierly Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Hellz yes!! This is awesome! I can’t get over how fast these get put together! Took me 2 years to put a costume together from a movie that came out in the 70’s! LolSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plainsrunner Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Your ammo sling needs to be thrown into a mud puddle and stomped on. Other than that it looks brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gecko Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 The one card - the pack looks like the old woodland cammo alice packs we used to carry 20 years ago. Can see some of the cammo pattern on the strap over his left shoulder. The "cape" looks an awful lot like the dark poncho liners we had in Desert Storm.

Colin1138 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Did the guys with the pack make it into the movie? I recall one of the guys on guard duty wearing the ammo rig..but unless its in the vackground, I can't remember seeing backpacks. These guys(like the other new trooper designs) got surprisingly little screentime.Sent from my SM-J320FN using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchy Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 As far as I can see writing the CRL with these pictures as a reference should make it reasonably easy. My compliments on all the hard work that has been put into this! I'll start with taking the necessary steps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I need now is a breakdown of the assembly of the helmet and the names of the parts. So if someone is in a sharing mood, feel free to post it here!!
