Thank goodness it wasn’t just me - I wondered what happened...

Great stuff....great stuff...
But hold on, do the SE TD's have peanutbutter as weathering?
Why not? I've used cinnamon before now... Nice and fine and about the right color...!

The picture looks like they have black soles... But think about it, they may not have the original boots so they used what was available now, and black is probably the easiest to get... Looking at the screen grabs as well, you don't actually see their boots...

Based on the research I did for the pack, I would say ribbed shoulder straps and buttons are painted per ROTJ requirements. Here are some additional photos that I used when researching.
Right with you on the shoulder straps but man those ab buttons look painted... TK ab plate but painted...

I don't think there is a good enough shot of their shoulder straps but if it is ROTJ armor then we can assume ribbed.
However, look at the ab plate in this screen shot? Have the ab buttons been painted?

Coomrnent: All shoulder straps need to be ribbed.

I think I noted that earlier based on the bust you posted, so yes the proposed CRL needs to be updated. It still notes having a shoulder pouch (not needed - see pic on page 1 and commented on)
So what are we expecting here? Do we think existing TD's just swap the pack? are we thinking that TK's just muck up, add a pack and deliver? Or do we want actual ROTJ's converting or starting at the beginning? We seem to be talking all three here in my opinion.
I don't think we can just add a pack and be SE - CRL has too many changes
TK's should be a good starting point IF they do a couple of specific items - ie the helmet having the correct frown for example. An ROTJ style bucket is needed as as a minimum - no ANH helmet. I think that this level is needed for Basic Approval
Preference of course is having the full ROTJ armor right off the bat. This is PO or SWAT level.

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.

Good to know - thanks

Got a a question for you that I have always wondered about 3D parts, especially as you are not that far away from me in Savannah: How well do 3D printed parts in general hold up to the heat and humidity we get in the SE? I've often thought about getting parts that are 3D printed but that was always something in the back of my mind. You've done a lot so obviously they hold up well and these do look good but wanted to hear you experience on them...

Looks great... Keep an eye o. Your left thigh... Get it a bit higher otherwise you'll be always hooking the sniper plate under it and it will torment you to no end.

Check your ammo belt on your right thigh - looks rotated a little too far over rather than central...

Congrats.! I need to move on my white pauldron approval... This just drives me more...

The filter looks coorect to me and then specific like an airfilter for the interior of your car.
When I looked they were all going the wrong way to the requirement (blades are width rather than height-wise). Maybe there are others out there but I could only find those...

May need to get this set updated after this build - Looks like it has been seriously omitted..!

Makes sense - I was wondering that as well...

I have a feeling that magnets (even the most strong ones) will not hold this up. Once I get the pieces together, I will have to see what works. I should have everything printed in a couple of days.
I agree about holding up as weight will be important here.... Almost calls out for it to be permanently attached to the back plate... Don't Clone Troopers have something similar to this so may be interesting to see how they do it...

Be interested to see how it is planned to be attached... No visible strapping?

I had a thought after reading Juan's post. If the detachment was to be similar law enforcement. The different planets sandtroopers / local imperial law enforcement could be divide in to precincts. Mos Eisley precinct, Jedda precinct, and that would have an opening for new things to come.
Just a thought

It may not be a bad thing combing them together and calling it the Imperial Law Enforcement Detachment/Division or whatever but I still think that we should keep it as Department (MEPD and JPD) rather than precinct...

As Juan said, we have reached consencus about the R1 sandtrooper and the Kyber patrol. They both will be added to the MEPD.
I'm so excited right now!!
Official announcement incoming!
That's great news..!

Sorry to say this but I have to say that I think a lot of this is our own fault... Some members were very elitist early own and disowned the HWT same as they disowned the SE Sandtrooper - they wanted us to be "pure" Sandtroopers and even think it was voted on more than once... Now all of sudden we want to jump on the bandwagon and claim a costume... Now I agree that the R1 Sandie should be here but let's leave all other conversations about the HWT in the past...
