While we're nitpicking: Mimban Trooper? Or Mimban Stormtrooper?

That same guide refers to the flashlight on the blaster as a “mist cutting chemical glow rod”. sometimes I think those guides just try to make “new” names for the sake of having a bubble of text to add

I think they can use either the E11 (Rogue One version) or the E10. I’m guessing you could reuse the E11 from the Jedha Trooper? I have pics of an E10 that I can send through.

I think you’re referring to the Solo visual guide. However “blast shield” is consistent with the name already given to similar parts on the shoretrooper and combat assault tank driver.

I’ve never actually seen it referred to with a specific name. I suspect it was made as part of the shield by the prop dept rather than a “found part”. Maybe just “oval shaped bolts”? also, on the available blast shields I’ve seen the bolts are molded onto it rather than being the thing that actually attaches the shield to the helmet. perhaps wording like (the shield) “has the appearance of being attached to the helmet using oval shaped bolts as per attached pic”?

So if I'm understanding you correctly you wouldn't need a pack for basic but for level 2 you would, then for level 3 you can take the pack off again? I have to say I hope this isn't the case for the Mimban Stormtrooper as those with packs are only seen very briefly. The only 2 clearly seen onscreen Mimban Stormtroopers (the ones who throw Han to "the beast"), the promotional materials and even action figures all have no pack. Unlike the sandie I'd argue the pack is not an iconic part of the armour and having it as an optional item is more in keeping with the movie. Just my opinion.

The pack should be an optional, definitely not required. As you say, there are far more seen without one than with one.

No "clean" Mimban Stormtroopers were seen on screen (or any other "canon" media). So in my opinion that shouldn't be an option. By way of precedent Anovos also make a clean tank trooper helmet, however the crl specifies "heavily weathered" as a requirement.

Thats the one i ordered and does indeed have the leather grommets.

Is there a draft crl up anywhere yet? I have the required armour and accessories, just starting on the weathering, so I'd love to help if I can.

Has there been any response to this request?

Well since Jim is the one making the armour I'm sure he's best placed to do that.

Excellent news. Maybe reach out to mimban stormtrooper fam on Facebook, there has been a ton of research done there already.

Oh, I’m not questioning the plash palatka, just whether they were dyed black?

Not sure if it is or not. 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.

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

Hi I'm Tony from Melbourne, Australia and a member of Knightfall Garrison. I'm an approved Scout and Staff Officer currently about 90% through a RogueOne TK build. However since seeing the Mimban Troopers from Solo I am seriously tempted to turn to the muddy side. So since this will surely be the Mimban Troopers home, here I am.
