I think that looks pretty great, Chris! But I'll defer to our resident expert. @Jakeputt?

Hello Heather, I've upgraded you to 501st Legion access! Welcome

Welcome to the Pathfinders forum! No matter which Shoretrooper you want to build, we are here to help. @KOtrooper and @Minimo are our resident Shoretrooper experts. There are also plenty of WIP thread for you to peruse to get an idea of what's involved!

For now they are fine as-is.

Thanks for all your input! We are going to adjust Level 2 so that the weathering needs to more closely match the trooper as seen in Andor

The Niamos Squad Leader (the one who doesn't like tourists) is now available for approval! I want to thank @MikeRadness (our CRL model), @ScarifBeachBum, @Hask, @Tal Skirata and everyone else who pitched in with ideas and opinions about this CRL. The blue used was definitely a point of contention but I think we've come up with some good, easy to find sources for that. https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:ST_squad_leader_Niamos_Andor

Personally I like the top choice as it seems the least affected by color grading. The beach scenes of ROTS always look very blue to me.

Either way, great to have another maker out there, especially in that part of the world because shipping from the US is always a big issue!

Doesn't say that specifically in your post .. I mean, before you edited it that is

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.
