No problem, I've been working out language with our LMO @Haskso we can make this change ASAP. We're going to go with this so we don't punish anyone who has wrong sized boxes: The belt contains 3 leather or leather-like pouches with hard plate and press stud on each flap they are worn one to the right and two the left of the 3 center white boxes the pouches have no visible stitching. L2 says "Belt boxes and pouches conform to size and shape of screen references." So you will need the proper sized boxes for that.

Interesting. I'm realizing that we've never had a production photos where all 3 black boxes can be seen in the same shot so their sizes could be compared. Looking at the Hot Toys I'd say your current configuration is correct, but I would like to take a closer look at all the photos! As for the codpiece, it doesn't seem like a great match when paired up like that, but I'd like to see it with the belt running between them. it may not be as noticeable.

Hmm maybe only one. Last I saw, Grumpy was trying to sell his. I went to Star Tours last month to see if the White Kashys were still featured in the ride, but they've already been replaced with Episode 8 content. Kashys seem to be more popular in Europe. I see them get approved a lot more over there and definitely see them more often in trooping photos.

Smoky green maybe? If someone can mock one up in real life I'd like to see it! But we do need to be realistic about this too. This is a CGI character so not everything will be easy to recreate. We also can't make it so hard to do that only a few can achieve it. We aren't approving Kashyyyks by the dozens around here. We currently only have 58 in the Legion total. If this is something that can be pulled off reasonably, it seems the perfect thing for a Level 2 detail. Are you thinking about going green, @yoshix?

It means we shouldn't see the stitching along the vertical edges of the bund. Usually folks fold the fabric in half so one side has no stitching. Then the other side goes under the chest armor and the stitching is hidden. The only stitching allowed to be seen are the "ribs" and the velcro stitching for the closure in back!

Welcome Kevin! I would say as both a Scout and a Shoretrooper, the Scout is the easier of the two and most forgiving of different sizes. It's even easier if you can do some of the soft goods yourself. The Shoretrooper is not as soft-goods reliant (just a shirt, pants, gloves and boots), but it is much more armor-intensive. And there is a lot of painting involved. But either costume is a great choice and there is plenty of help to be found here on this forum.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing. Some interesting variants of the main trooper in there. May be something worth looking into.

You're all set buddy! Make sure you log your Pathfinder troops and earn badges (and patches!) http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/index.php?/forum/141-pathfinder-trooping-awards/

Yeah that's the problem with a CGI character -- the animators can make it look any way they like whether or not it works in the real world. I'm open to new ideas if you find a lens that's appropriate. The green lens tinting is a very cheap solution for the time being.

We like it a lot too! Here's the info we have so far.... The Mountain Trooper toy was released early by Disney to have merchandise in Galaxy's Edge. From what we've been told it is not the final design. The toy uses parts of other toys in order for Disney to save money. Some time later this year, actual Mountain Troopers (people in costume) will begin appearing in the parks at Disneyland and Disney World. We are waiting to see those costumes before we proceed with the CRL.

Post up your screenshots and let's talk about it! I'm open to CRL changes given the right evidence. It's a little tougher with an all CGI character to come up with real life analogs for everything. Have you tried looking for replacement snowboard lenses? I got a red reflective lens that way.

Kids don't know their history!

Which he got from this forum.... Do it how you like. Again we don't specify the method, just that we can see the ziptie bridge between the bell and the shoulder bridge.

Hello friend! All known paint information can be found here:

You're very welcome!

I run a strip of velcro loop across the top of my bund and then have hook on the back of the attachment tabs of the pouches. It's okay if the bottom of the pouches swing out. They did in the film.

A lot of the things you are talking about are connections that can't be seen. We've never regulated the stuff that we can't see. We only judge on the visible parts of the costume. 1. We have plenty of photos of the zipties. You can see one quite obviously in the Costumes book. Remember the Scout Trooper that fights with Han is wearing the rubber stunt armor so it was not made the same as the others. 2. You can sew the pouches to the bund as was done in the film. Or you can velcro them, which is what I do. Makes it easier to wash. The chest armor attachment method was traditional around these parts for a while and it does provide a lot of support for your phone and such, but the pouches always hang at weird angles when they are attached to the armor. For level 2 it has to have the "appearance" of being attached to the bund. How you do it is up to you. 3. Yup. Mine is sewn to the bottom of my vest, as was done in the movie. But again, because you can't see the connection, we don't make demands on how it is done. Lots of people just velcro it to the flight suit or to the back of the cummerbund.

People have just been putting their Speeder bike builds in The Barracks: http://forum.501stpathfinders.com/index.php?/forum/17-the-barracks/

Looks great! Let us know when you are approved and I'll bump you up to full Pathfinder status!

Honestly, it's better for whoever buys it if it's never been used

I'm not sure if they were used at all. Description says they were "safety moulds" in case they were needed for production. They'd probably go for more money if they were actually used for production helmets.

Ah that's one of mine

Is that @Pandatrooper I see? Other than it's higher than the ideal height of 8-9 inches, it's not a bad tutorial! Ideally, the bund should be the same height as the pouches, when taking into account the 2 inch attachment tab. So between 8-9 inches. This image should give you an idea of height. As you can see here, the bottom of the pouches and the bottom of the bund are aligned, and meet at the belt.
