Want to sell it?I do have a ROTJ TK from CFO..and a few years back did intend on making it into a SETD once it had picked up a few dings and scuffs from hard trooping. However since then...I kinda ended up making a 'proper' Sandie anyways. I don't know if I'd proceed with the conversion now sorry,..I just think it'd be a tad redundant having 2 TD's.

With some simple changes I could make mine ROTJ. I already have the pack, pauldron and weathering. I am getting the helmet this week. It would be temporary until I get official ROTJ armor.One more question...
Whats the main difference with a TE/TE2 armor and return of the jedi?
Trimming of course, and the helmet... adding the whitebrubber trim, and then?
Also, new boots...
Can it be made to look like it originally was, Tour/ ROTJ?
Saludos.

Dude,How can that be possible?
None of the ANH armour was used in the making of the SE. I would love to see proof of this if you have it?
That is why I said I was told. I have not seen it either.

Getting back from vacation on Saturday and will get this thing finished. I finally have the bottom compartment completed, so all i have to do is paint and assemble.

I am told that OT TKs can be seen wearing this pack in the film.

Considering a good ROTJ armor set is around $1200 USD, I will not be an TD SE anytime soon. Good luck. I will continue to work on the next level pack, but I will put it on the back burner until the CRL is complete.

I am getting ready to build an ROTJ Bucket for this, plus it will be good to have another one anyways.
At this point, I am going to see what the "Powers that Be" decide to do and what the Final CRL looks like.
Someday soon I will be building a Classic ANH Sandtrooper. Can't wait.

Coomrnent: All shoulder straps need to be ribbed.

I say stick with ANH helmet. Do not make it too complex. My 2 cents.

I agree with insuring it is very clear that they will need ROTJ armor if they want level 2 or level 3.
Then we're talking about 2 different starting points...you think of the troopers who already have an approved RotJ (not much of them around, you're right) , I'm thinking of entirely new builds for the SE trooper.
But the number of producers is a good argument I have to admit. I'm only aware of TM and CfO. The costs are the same as ANH Armor, there should be no big difference.
As to getting people into the Legion with a SE Trooper as their first costume: Wouldn't it be really bad for them if they want to go the PO or SWAT route and realize they won't be able to because of their armor?
I think the wording in the CRL should be changed for all LvL2 and up and specify for every single part that the RotJ armor is needed. There is one sentence in the beginning, but you know how this works....people don't read properly and it shouldn't be harder for new recruits as it already is, should it?

One more thing....I also feel the pack should be required at all levels.

The CRL looks good, but I've found a few things that bug me:
- Handguards: If LvL2/3 is accurate RotJ-armor, they shouldn't be made of latex or similar material. 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
While I agree about the accuracy of the armor (ANH vs ROTJ), only 54 people are listed on the 501st as having approved ROTJ armor. Based on that and the limited number of people that produce this armor, I feel it would severly limit the number of people submitting for approval. Allowing submittal with ANH or ESB will allow people to get approved and join the 501st / MEPD at a lower cost and easier. Keeping in the spirit of getting people involved. As you will note, even the pack is made from more readily available materials. As you get to level 2 and level 3, the 100% accuracy becomes a requirement.
These are just my 2 cents.

Give me then next 2 or 3 days to get the CRL wording fixed and added your pictures. Then we can get it submitted for Legion approval and get you that TD designation. You may not want to go back
Hey man. How is it going?
Just checking in to see if the CRL is ready yet? I am just anxious and excitied to become TD.

Interesting. I guess about the only thing you can conclude from that picture is it's something that is black and goes around the tube.

Looking forward to it. After I do the rotj armor then I want to do the Rogue one armor for the other two packs.

What is the exact blue we need to us? Right now I use the Gray on all packs.

Cool. Let me know what I need to do. Next I'm going to get the rotj armor so I can work on the higher levels.

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

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.
