The Wayner

Wow, this really looks good! I’m so glad that we were able to get this going again. It looks great!! What a team effort. Sorry I couldn’t finish but so happy you took over and made it happen. love it!

Update. Thanks to BikerScout007 and MrPoopie for all the help you guys are providing. Yes, this CRL is still a go. I've had some delays for family issues the last couple of months, but I'm fully committed to resume around the 1st of march. I know there's a few of you folks out there ready to see this thing come to life, as am I. MrPoopie has provided me all the 3D prints I need to help this along. Once I get started, there are only of few little tasks to complete before we can get this new costume submitted. If we get the CRL, I will try to start a new thread listing examples of how it all came about and help any of you along. It's coming. Stay tuned.

Let me find some red cord or wire to give a sample of both.

Mr. Poopie, that baton looks amazing. Nice work

I received the tubing for the wiring. Couple of issues I notice right out of the box. 1.- it’s more orange than red. 2.- it’s kinda stiff. I’m sure it can be heated and formed into shape but I’m worried about the part that runs down the arm not being flexible enough. I’ll cut and try a sample but regular red wire might be in order BikerScout007- what day you on the color? I think red makes sense.

Agreed. This looks good. I had originally wanted to use electric cord like used on Level 2 TD wrap. But it needs to be painted when has to use a rubber vinyl paint. Too much trouble. This looks good. I’ll order tonight.

Sounds good. I like the look of the red buttons. Status update - The neck seal is done. All the 3D parts ( battery, control box, buckle) have been sanded and primed. I'm just doing some touch-up sanding and extra layers of priming now. I'll start adding finish coats this weekend followed by clear coat. Bund WAS done, but since it's new material and I washed it, the size isn't right.....so I might have to do another. Next on list - red wiring, new jumpsuit, glove taser, belt alterations.

Okay I think that helps. And the cooling fins on the battery I will do in matching gloss black. We can decide on the control box buttons later. I actually like if they were red. Make more continuity with the wires. Staff- how do you do the neat pattern in the handle? The staff looks good though.

Color questions: The control box-flat or satin black? Don’t see a sheen in the screen grabs so looks flat. Battery greeblies- gray or black. They look gray to me. Wire connection, ribs in middle, and end cap. Control box- some pics show red buttons, but Mr Poopies game screen grabs show some kid of different patterns.

Sounds good.

I think we can allow some “practical” applications in a Level 1. Especially since this isn’t movie canon and just a computer design. Will your version of this baton be hollow inside? I’m thinking down the road if some wiring for the button and some led/wire for the taser part of the baton. Haven’t researched yet how this would be possible yet.

Well I’ll assume someone would just hold it 99% of the time anyway. ex., you don’t see too many Sandtroopers with their T-21’s slinged over their shoulders. But you’re right, maybe when everything is printed and put in place we can see how to make it happen.

Wow, never thought about that either, but you may be right.

Will there be a way to install a couple of small magnets to hold the baton to the battery pack?

So would we be able to put magnets in the baton and another set inside the baton holder? My first thoughts on how to keep baton on the battery pack

If MrPoopie and I can workout a rough print of the “Walkman” box and a battery pack, I will make a bund, then send some full dress photos for you guys to see what everything looks like. Items I need to workout, -wiring material -knuckle taser -bund -belt strap -neck seal

I was thinking the back of the belt was black 2” wedding? Also, are we plugging the hole for the rivet? This will decide if we need to add a new belt to the CRL. My harness is done-minus sewing up the battery sling in the right length and location. Can’t do it without a more accurate battery pack. Last part will be the red wires. I’m gonna say the two straps on the right shoulder harness holding down the wires are .5” elastic or .5” say material as harness. Still shopping for a good red wire to make it happen.

Amazing! I take it your Patrol Scout is taking a break with all this 3D work you’re putting in? Lol

Oh that’s nice! Well done!

So I just watched Mando Ep 7, and I think they made the costume look trashy on purpose. Empire is gone, they are all ex-imperial with no work. So the Stormtroopers armor are all rusted and dirty, now you have Scouts who don’t care how they look now. I get it now.

Nice work!

Funny how this paper towel roll almost meets your dimensions lol The sling wasn’t too hard to rough one out Made a pouch @9” and then cut 1/4” foam strips little less than 1.75” x 6” long. Then sew along edges. Made cuts into material and weaved 1” straps through close to MrPoopie’s screen grabs

I’m taking pictures of my harness build to post thread later if this all works out and we make a final CRL Poopie I’ll get with ya about 3D builds if you choose to do it and make some & or find someone else to do it.

Now we’re talking!!!! And maybe inside the front black spots we can see Billy Idol Rebel Yell playing? Night Ranger? hahaha.
