Kashyyyk Trooper CRL 2012 discussions

thaks for post BH

 

i am in the middle of redoing the paint list. the green wash is gone with the new basecoat paint. and i am looking for a lighter green for the camo becuse the panzer olive green is too dark.

[BrotherHalo]

Dude, no prob. It'll be awesome to get some of the paint stuff sorted out.

 

One of the big things that we'll be doing here, too, is getting all of the picture references for each part sorted out. We can't use LFL images, so we'll have to come up with our own, best versions of each, to use for reference.

 

The GWLs need us to hold their hands in figuring out these costumes. Yes, I say that tongue in cheek, but for some, it's true. In fact, I'll probably need you to hold my hand with this; although I've gotten fairly familiar with the costume, I would consider you as one of the experts on the KT.

 

[mrbungle]

no problems , send any request for cossie clearance my way.

 

i sent you a pma but now i know why that thread is closed.

 

 

also the cod needs to be changed to , cod peice needs to be wraped in monks cloth and painted the same as the armor.

[BrotherHalo]

Okay guys, there's been a lot of discussion the past few weeks about the CRLs and GMLs needing some sort of "checklist" or guide to approve costumes.

 

There's many saying that the GML shouldn't need a checklist, there are some that say they aren't familiar enough with several costumes to determine whether or not it's good.

 

 

And then there's people asking - what do new recruits use to figure out what they need?

 

 

So, to spoon-feed both newbies and GMLs alike, the CRLs are being re-worked YET AGAIN.

 

However, this time, it looks like it's going in a different, yet better, direction. But it's a two-fold process:

 

1. There's the CRL which is text-based. There's a new format that we're using and I'll post shortly.

 

2. There's also going to be the Visual References, as seen here:

and here:

http://www.501st.com/crl/SL_CRL/SL104_Tyra...TS/index104.php

 

 

So I'll be putting a call out for people to submit their pictures that we can use.

[mrbungle]
