ANH Hero CRL Update for Expert Infantry

[justjoseph63[Staff]]

For those aiming for higher levels of approval with ANH Hero armor, please be aware that the CRL for Expert Infantry has been updated, specifically for the Hovi mic tips.

 

The update is an addition to the present requirements and the new ones are shown below in bold font and underlined:

 

"Correct Aerators/Hovi-MIX tips are present. Screens used shall be of a wide type mesh.  The rim of the mic may be weathered, and the inside raised area painted white.  Interior sides shall be painted black, mesh can also be painted black".

 

The reason for these updates is for better screen accuracy, as there is overwhelming evidence that the vast majority of the Hero helmets seen in the film were painted in this way.

 

    

 

As noted, the mesh may be painted black but this is not a requirement at any level.

In addition to Joseph announcement, these two images have been added to the CRL gallery tab that appears at the top of each CRL

Noted for my eventual Hero build! Heck, I already have the hovi tips, so perhaps I’ll knock out this paint job now.

As we know the mic tips where white and had been painted black and no doubt when filming started would still have been all black, then some of the rim would have been rubbed of from general wear and tear, so should there not be an option for black rim? There are examples of only a slight amount of white visible.

+1 on Glen's observation. All look weathered off to me. The originals likely started black dipped and had the tips rubbed white with natural use. Painting the tips white originally would give a different wear pattern than any of the screen examples display.

Can change it to Tips may be weathered, that allows both.

And updated

It now reads as follows....

 

Correct Aerators/Hovi-MIX tips are present. Screens used shall be of a wide type mesh. The rim of the mic may be weathered, and the inside raised area painted white. Interior sides shall be painted black, mesh can also be painted black.
