Okay everyone, let's keep it focused and positive. There are no egos in CRL creation. We do whatever is best for the Detachment and the membership as a whole. This trooper has been on my slate since the beginning of this term and now we are almost at the end. I want to get this done. That's my goal. Whoever gets to the finish line first is not my primary focus. Okay so here are my thoughts -- I think for basic, typical amount of Shoretrooper weathering is fine. We do want to encourage current STs to be able to mix and match parts to add other CRLs to their roster. But... it's also pretty clear from the screenshots that this trooper in particular doesn't look as rough as some of the grunts that he shares scenes with. My guess is since they were using some new colors they had to completely repaint and reweather portions of the armors that have been around since "Rogue One". This would be a Level 2 thing. I've already expressed my concerns to Mike about the helmet being a bit heavy on the black wash, and he's going to address that. We can take a look at the chocolate chips and see how much they need to be knocked back. I can photoshop them out too

I was coming here to post this pic Looks divided up the same way as the other troopers. I don't think the Black series figures are going to get that level of detail right, it's a little too precise for a mass produced figure The weathering -- in bright sunlight a lot of the grime gets blown out. And I think we can all agree the color on the beach scenes of Andor is very blown out. So much so that this blue looks almost white in some shots. I see pics of my own ST in bright sunlight and I'm always like "damn I look like I just came out of the box." But I'm willing to debate this point.

Well done, @Tarok! I will upgrade you to full Pathfinder status

Excellente! I am drafting the CRL for the LMO in between mailing out racing shirts. I will let you know if we need anything else. Great work, my man

I just looked and it appears there are not. You'll be the first!

I think you're fussing over the details more than they ever did on the show! You look good. You got this.

Badge awarded. Congrats!

Drum Roll, please! On behalf of Pathfinders Command, it is my pleasure to induct Aitor "IG88s-killer" Gartzia Zelaia (CB-17085) into the Pathfinders Hall of Fame as our very first 41st Elite Kashyyyk Trooper for the "CB - Kashyyyk Trooper - ROTS" CRL! Aitor did a sensational job with his build, with only a few minor tweaks to be made to get to the finish line. Great job, @IG88s-killer You have been sent a Certificate of Achievement to your email on file and your picture will be added to the Pathfinders Hall of Fame. Check out CB-17085's application here:

Thank you for the update. The team will discuss!

You should be able to span that oversized image across several pages that you would then tape together to make your template. Try the instructions here: https://www.nextofwindows.com/adobe-pdf-tip-how-to-print-large-posters-across-multiple-pages

@MikeRadness -- looking amazing! Like we were discussing the other day, gonna need pics! Lots of pics. You suited up with front and back (and sides for the Gallery). Definitely will need pics of all the distinct pieces of gear for this trooper. Chest, bells, hip armor, blaster etc. Let's get this CRL done!

3mm short aluminum rivets work pretty well. I get Arrow brand https://www.amazon.com/Arrow-Fastener-RSA1-8IP-Aluminum/dp/B0006JJPBU/ref=asc_df_B0006JJPBU/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=416872195419&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1091634511296402964&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031195&hvtargid=pla-898659400925&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=93604209293&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=416872195419&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1091634511296402964&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031195&hvtargid=pla-898659400925

Ah yes, that is true. That should remain tan, @MikeRadness

4cm looks good! Really great job and that shade of blue is spot on

The CRL needs to be changed. That's the point. The picture that's on there now is incorrect and several years old. I was hoping we could get new pictures based on your armor. That's fine, you can leave yours as it is.

@IG88s-killer We are still evaluating your kit. Looks really good so far! I was wondering if it was possible for you to move the greeblie on your left bicep. Currently it looks like this: Now YES - it matches the CRL and we are not going to hold this against you. But in this case, this is one of a few instances where the CRL photos are wrong. (The photos are very old at this point and we've never had anyone take new ones). Would it be possible for you to shift the greeblie so that the box with the two rods is facing the front of the bicep. So like this: If this is a huge problem, like I said above, we will not hold it against you, as it does match the CRL. But I would like to update the CRL with proper photos, so we could use yours if they are corrected. Thank you!

Again - this is a question for your Garrison. As a Detachment, we only have a role in creating CRLs based on the canon sources. As there is no canon source of an off duty Scout or Shore wearing a black cap and no helmet, it will never be a part of the CRL. If you're asking if you can wear a cap on your own time at Disneyland --- well, sure. You can do whatever you want. The 501st doesn't troop at Disneyland so our CRL has no bearing there. I'd be more surprised if they let you wear your costume in the park. They are usually pretty strict about those sorts of things, as they don't want Guests being confused with the actual Cast.

I'm pretty sure he pulls most of his models off of Battlefront... what works in a video game isn't always true to the films.

Personally it looks off to me. If you are going to pay for 3D files, I would go with the Nico helmet: https://www.etsy.com/listing/864903122/rogue-one-shoretrooper-helmet?ref=shop_home_active_6 Even Sean Fields free helmet looks better. At least to me: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/27klw0a6voyqbtr/AABH9VRmlPF55oWzP2-Kr3KWa?dl=0

Thanks for posting the photos inline. That makes it easier for us to review as well as allow other members of the forum to follow the application and learn from it. The team will review and get back to you soon

Well done, trooper!!

Congrats!

On behalf of Pathfinders Command, it is my pleasure to induct Gloria "Glory530" Northup (TB-50191) into the Pathfinders Hall of Fame as a Lancer Scout Trooper for the "TB - Scout Trooper - ROTJ" CRL!

Similar to the above, I used black shoe polish and baby powder.
