Level 2 here is called Lancer for Scouts, Vanguard for Shoretroopers Centurion is a term used on FISD. That's about it!

Okay, merged some of Denis' language into the CRL and updated on the Wiki and in the main post!

My phone wasnt really capturing how dirty this thing actually is

More work over the weekend

I haven't updated the Wiki because I thought the LMO team was already evaluating what was there. I can go ahead and put in some of the stuff that Denis pointed out as it pertains to level 1. We can work on Level 2 at a later date. I'm really not in a hurry to get that rolled out. As I said above, Shoretrooper level 2 didn't come until a year later, and we are currently working on a Kashyyyk Level 2 even though we've had that costume for 10 years or so.... there's no rush for a Level 2 on the Patrol Trooper. I'd rather get folks approved first, see what kind of turnout we get, and then focus on Level 2 once we get some dedicated Armorers for the costume on Staff, as we do for the others. Plus we need to come up with a cool name for Level 2. Right now, I've got "Traffic Division". But I'm open to ideas. I've tried to keep this CRL simple in the spirit of the Scout Trooper CRL. I'm trying to avoid overly complicating it or putting in details that would be better suited to an armor maker as opposed to an armor purchaser. I'm a big believer in "make it look like the picture."

Please join me in congratulating ST-19758, James "FarEast" Machin on obtaining the rank of Vanguard! James, please send the most awesome picture of you in your gear to Shortstack so he can prepare it for the eventual Level II Wall once we get it set up Well done!

Can't wait to see it all together and painted!

Yes it would!

Had a lot of spare time this weekend. Now this thing is starting to look like a helmet!

Well done! You really made our jobs easier by being so prepared with your build!

Welcome to the Pathfinders forum!

We didn't roll out a Level 2 for the Shoretrooper until almost a year later and we had WAY more sources for that than we do for this. I would rather focus on getting Level 1 up and running and tackle a Level 2 later on down the road. We also need to give the prop makers time and familiarity with the costume so they are making the best stuff possible.

Thanks for all your support, man. We are getting SO close.

Okay Patrol Trooper fans, we finally have a CRL page in the Database! http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TB_Patrol_trooper The CRL text is up. The pictures are all placeholders for now. I will get those updated this weekend. I want to thank Denis for doing the hard work of carefully photographing each and every piece AND sending them to me with the backgrounds already removed As for the designation, the Legion has it as "TB" for now. I will ask for "PT" but the Legion is not always keen on creating new designations. Particularly in this case where there is such a strong resemblance to the Biker Scout. EDIT: I should note this is all a work in progress and everything in there is subject to change!

Well do, Chris. Thanks so much for the guidance!

Okay Chris I made most of the changes you suggested. Please see the very first post in this thread for the updated CRL. Just a few comments and questions All the images can be blown up by clicking on them. Sorry I didn't mention that before Yes we do. The picture of the helmet at Lucasfilm clearly shows the lenses are green. On the first page of this thread you can see the pics. As for trim, it was just on there for length. TK helmets aren't my speciality so if you have some suggestions on the rivets, please let me know. This language was taken verbatim from our Scout Trooper CRL. It hasn't proven to be problematic so far, and I like the CRLs to have commonalities. My thought is for weathering to be optional for Level 1 and mandatory for Level 2. Not sure what you mean by the square segments. Do you have a suggestion for that? Sorry, I fixed that mistake, good catch Done I would say no, they are just decorative, as on the Shoretrooper. Done. The Ab back language was taken directly from the Death Trooper, as the pieces are the same. I've added in some fitment language. Honestly this whole thing should be combined into just "Ab armor" as it seems to be just one piece. This description was taken verbatim from the Shoretrooper CRL, as the two pieces are identical. I only changed the colors. But I did move the "flush sides" to Level 2 consideration. For the sake of uniformity, I'd say we just leave it as is. That way we don't have Shoretroopers and Patrol Troopers with different standards. I'd say sealed or functional is fine. As we don't see them open in the film. Done. Although the thing does look like a cellphone haha. I just put in approximate size based on.....my cellphone case The toe area of the boot needs to be painted (or wrapped) white. There is no armor piece over the toe, so the black would be exposed otherwise. The only armor is the bit around the heel and the "dogbone" Great idea! Done.

And now for some flat black. I haven't glued the visor or snout on yet, just set them in place for this pic

I have edited the main post to include all the images that Denis has provided. They images are clickable and will blow up to a bigger size when you do so.

The weathering language was taken (stolen?) directly from our Biker Scout CRL. I assumed if it was good enough for that, it would be good enough for this. I was thinking we would make weathering a Level 2 requirement, but Level 1 would be optional. Thus the "and/or"

Primered this baby up!

Do you mean the thigh box straps? I just sewed mine to the nylon belt, as was done in the film!

And I finally get to use my reference photos I took at the 2016 L.A. Auto Show! Here they are in case you haven't seen them yet:

There was a pattern floating around here at one time, but it's probably very out of date. The cummerbund is fairly simple, it's just a long rectangle with no tapering. You want it to be between 8-10 inches high (10 inches at the absolute most), so that the pouches fit squarely on it with maybe a little bit of slack to tuck into your belt. The movie ones seemed to be about 8 inches high and stopped right at the belt. The length of it depends on your own size. In the center go six lines of stitching, 1 inch apart, to create the 5 raised ribs. You will want to put batting between the two layers of fabric to give them dimension. The closure is 2 inch velcro. The cummerbund must close right-over-left. That's really all there is to it. It's a very simple garment, which probably explains why there is no pattern for it

I do but I'm not sure how to start a new entry
