wow...I'm not familiar with the sky trooper details....but this looks amazing!

[The5thHorseman[501st]]

Impressive, i didn't expect to see one finished one day ^^! Congratulations

 

I just remember few things i learnt when i translated the CRLs:

- shouldn't the painting at the rear of the helmet end in a -H shape?

 

- And also i think there shoulnd't be any black straps wrapped around the biceps.

 

 

Anyway, good luck with your approval 

[TK6287[TK]]

Never seen this one before. Well other than in the toy version of it.

I think it looks great! Well done!

[pattrooper]

nice work.

[kylebeagle[TK]]

Nicely done.

 

I have only seen these in the Force Unleashed video game...  They were on the move too.  Nice to see in still pictures.

 

Cheers!!

I was thinking the exact thing! This armor type is not my area of expertise, but it sure does look cool. 

 

Good luck on EIB.

[JEDISTAR[TK]]

Very nice submission pics! Love it man! Good luck with your approval!

[Darth Aloha[Admin]]

Wow. It turned out great! 

 

This is under review. Stand by Todd and thanks for your patience.

Looking good man!

 

With all the drone paranoia, I worry about being shot down.  Seriously though, I admit I can only fly for 27 seconds.

Looks Great!!

 Good Luck!!

Standing by...

[bluehickey]

Wow, you look great in it Todd!

 

Question: does having the tubes attached to the helmet restrict your movement of your head?

[Toddo[TK]]

Wow, you look great in it Todd!

 

Question: does having the tubes attached to the helmet restrict your movement of your head?

Thanks! The material Targ supplies for the tubes is really flexible overall. Having said that, it does limit the movement a tad left to right, but even more so up or down.

Wow, straight up action figure... Nice job....whoa....

[captsafe66[Admin]]

Sorry for the delay, please continue to stand by.

[Darth Aloha[Admin]]

Todd,

 

This is one utterly badass costume. It's a really clean paint job and build with a high attention to detail. It is completely deserving of EIB. 

 

The reason for the delay on approval is I wasn't, and I'm still not sure, about the back of your helmet. The action figure clearly shows some gray boxes below the cap:

 

 

I'm not convinced that it would look good on an actual helmet. I also think I need more proof beyond the action figure that the gray boxes are present from star tours footage. I want to discuss it further with the staff. I will likely ask you to add some paint to your helmet if you apply for Centurion. Please continue to stand by on a decision on that. 

 

As it stands here is the wording from the basic level for the helmet which is confusing: 

 

A unit stripe in a medium gray shall be present on the cap of the helmet. The unit stripe starts between the eyes and above the brow and flares out to cover the outer edges of both back traps. (trapezoidal indentations) and ends at the ridge of the cap where the back meets and extends below the bottom of each trap.

 

I'm also ignoring the ab button orientation which you correctly pointed out is wrong in the CRL. I'll be changing the CRL soon enough.

 

Congratulations to Todd, a 4 time EIB, a costume addict, and the first Skytrooper EIB!

Awesome! congratulations Todd!

[The5thHorseman[501st]]

Congratulation on your EIB! 

 

However i still think you need to remove your shoulder bells black straps wrapped around you biceps:

For level two certification (if applicable):

• Shoulder bells are rounded at the corners.
• No shoulder bell straps across the biceps.

 

[Toddo[TK]]

Thanks everyone! This was a really fun build.

 

Eric, I have had the same exact thoughts about the back of the helmet paint. I've wondered if it is a weird action-figure thing or if it is intentional. If I need to fix it, I certainly will. It would be impossible to undo if we determine that it shouldn't be that way.

[captsafe66[Admin]]

Congrats Trooper!!

[WoodChuck[501st]]

WOW great armor, but the blaster is NOT one of mine.
