Do we have enough visible evidence to call out "Satin" paint finish for basic level? We deal in absolutes where possible based on information available to the open public, then only use BTS knowledge to fill in gaps. Here say and guess work is what we do spend a fair bit of time on Let's get some feedback from staff and members on this. If it looks like a satin finish, let's get some consensus, please.

Title updated to reflect Imperial Armored Commando.

Thank you for all your hard work on this project. Your costume looks amazing, and now we can get the CRL built and hopefully green lit in the very near future.

We now have a member who has completed his costume build, so now we begin the written construction of this new CRL. Nuts and bolts to be fleshed out as we develop the appropriate descriptive language.

Good updates so far Chris, the Kama is going to be fun, we could possibly look at a few soft costume CRL's to see the type of descriptive language used.

Impressive setup Joey!

Welcome aboard Jeff.

That approach made the most sense top me Chris, and it gives options at each level. Centurion should always be closes to the source information we can get.

Congratulations Terry! Even after 10 years of trooping, I still get a buzz kitting up as a TK.

Welcome to FISD Jason! We also have two optional levels for costume accuracy, Expert Infantry and Centurion. These links give you more information about those programs that might interest you. https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/95-expert-infantry-program/ https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/66-fisd-centurion-program/ Once again, welcome aboard.

Excellent news Kevin, hope you are keeping well.

Wowsers, that is epic!

Welcome to FISD, I am sure we can all learn new skills from each other. You will feel right at home here.

Congratulations and welcome to Expert Infantry!

Also to note, if you are printing your armour, and need to scale it up, the Ab plate posses a problem. The main and side button plates will also scale up, placing them out of proportion with reference material and ABS and Fibre glass R1 kits available. I think the best options will be to speak with the file creators and ask if they can indeed make those details separate print files, so the size remains the same, and they are simply attached to the Ab plate. The couple we have seen are noticeable, so this would be a good option to have.

An issue we are seeing is when scaling the files up, specially for detailed parts like the Ab plate, it scales all those details along with it, as they are not separate pieces. The Ab button plates are the reference points we are concerned with. Perhaps we need to discuss with the file makers to have these button plates as separate files so when scaling up the main Ab plate, they are not affected and hence, don't look out of proportion when compared to reference images. Something to be mindful of.

As it stands, Ezra, helmet off, would reside under Rebel Legion, not 501st. Glen is correct, no reason why you can not emulate his armour Helmet on, but it will simply be a Night trooper, not Ezra.

This is me all over, lol

Exciting times ahead for you both

Congratulations, Tyler, welcome to Centurion rank!

Donated.

Crazy good work Joey, would be better to have all your photos in the thread rather than the link, show this beauty off to its fullest.

Welcome back to FISD Jonathan!

Very nice, keep us updated with your progress
