Happy Holidays, brothers! Have a great New Year! Greetings from snowy Moscow! 🤘🎅🤘

Hi Matt! That's odd to hear, man. We have emailed you reply passed saturday, once we received it. Sorry to say, but we haven't hear anything from you earlier.( Maybe junked emails or something. I will forward this reply to you once again right now via another my email. Maybe this will work. There wil be all info and possible solutions! Sorry for making you nervous, man, didn't do that intentionally. BR Denis

Yeah, that's ours! Sadly it arrived heavily damaged after being in transit for over 2 months((( that's why I hate EMS and don't work with them anymore. You all know - every piece is handmade and it's heartbreaking to see when courier plays football of our box(( and customer is upset... That's bad. We have discussed all this with Matt, other day. Sure thing, I'll replace all broken parts! Thought if Matt could rework something, but that's not really that necessary... I don't want him to be upset after long awaiting! I'd rather replace all quick!) BR Denis Отправлено с моего SM-G955F через Tapatalk

It's pretty calm here in Moscow now. Government says 200+ cases of COVID. No public events and all public places are closed. I'm so happy we have finalized moving facilities to new place - factory area, which is restricted and no ppl near))) Now we can stay focused on work! ))) Stay safe, brothers!

There IS mesh between teeth, on Anovos helmet. My friend was at SDCC2019 any took pics of Patrol Weathered helmet. On one pic I noticed mesh-like lines. Unfortunately, no pics shows it clear and I still don't know if it was real mesh, or solid plastic with mesh-like surface. Отправлено с моего SM-G955F через Tapatalk

Good catch! It defo should be added, I saw it on Anovos as well! Отправлено с моего SM-G955F через Tapatalk

As stated: lvl1 indicates MINIMAL requirements. Lvl2 is an ADVANCED level of accuracy, if I may say so... This means you can use anything from Lvl2 stuff during your initial approval. You can have parts from Lvl2 in your Lvl1. For many people flexible abs plate will be more convenient. So they will have all from lvl1 and abs from lvl2. Отправлено с моего SM-G955F через Tapatalk

I wonder, why they don't have that chromed stripe at the chest's buttons panel? Or I simply don't see it... Отправлено с моего SM-G955F через Tapatalk

I did shots of clean armor and helmet for CRL, but wearing slightly weathered version. On my thoughts, weathering discover all the shapes best way! CRL says "slightly weathered" without any specific, so I think it's possible to weather helmet a bit

Great pics indeed! Wish we would have them a year ago)) Never the less - better now than never! Finally we have clear shot of boot armor and back details! Thanks guys!

Interesting... Indeed interesting! We have to dig a bit and get more info. So far looks ok, unless they messed up with helmet's side/back. Also, remember Hasbro's mismatch with early PatrolTrooper toy. If it's dedicated to Galaxy's Edge - we will know very soon! Also interesting, - why did they killed all its links from website?..

Exact one, bth! Отправлено с моего SM-G955F через Tapatalk

Woohoo!!! That's the great beginning for any friday!!! Congrats everyone and huge thanks for making this happened!

I've only once seen this oval groove been painted black - on spy-shots of actors. And still I'm not sure that it wasn't a "heavy weathering". So I made a suggestion in this point) Thank you for guidance, mate, this is my first CRL work and I'm still learning!

There is a bunch of small details in this build, which needs more attention. I tried to compose my thoughts in one list. Pls, feel free to correct and add! Suggestions for Lvl2 details. Helmet - There is a thin groove rounding every gray trap. - The rear traps have 13 vertical thin grooves, painted black. - There are 12 vent holes on cheeks. Vents are not cut, painted white inside. - There are 2 "teeth": one on each side of the helmet, between the blast-shield and the visor-glass. - Main aerator module made same as DeathTrooper helmet. It has 9 greeblies on the top, center greeblie is thicker than the rest. - Helmet has rubber brow line and rubber bottom brim. U-shaped rubber brim is allowed. Chest and Back. - Chest plate has rectangular button panel at the center. Button panel painted semi-gloss black with metal it metal-like stripe on top. Button panel has 1 switch, 2 thin and 4 thick buttons. There is a gemstone shape button, painted green. - Chest plate has 2 angled grooves, one at each side of the central flat area. - 2" wide white elastic band is following the chest plate's curve on each side, covering the end of the plate and ending at the groove mentioned above. - White elastic band shall be put inside of the harness buckle and cover the center shaft of the buckle. - The Back plate shall have 3" wide side plates at the bottom of each side. - Side plates shall have 2 grooves each: one - diagonal and one - vertical. - Side plates shall go under corresponding parts of the Chest plate. ABS / Kidney armor - ABS plate shall have horizontal ribs at the upper half of the front area. There shall be 6-10 ribs visible. - Kidney armor shall have vertical 1" wide groove with oval ends, at the top right half of the armor. This groove shall be visible below the Back plate. Soft parts - Jacket shall be made of leather or leather like matherial. Plain leather shall be used at the whole front/back of the torso, under the shoulder bells and under the forearm guards. - Sleeves shall be made of ribbed leather/leather like material, appx. 4-6mm each rib. - There are 2" wide areas with clearly visible stitching above and below the biceps guards and above the forearm guard. - Pants (Breeches) shall have visible stitchings at the reinforced areas: butt and inner side of knees. - Pants shall have no visible pockets or belt loops. - Pants shall be slim-fitted and narrowed toward the boots. Shin guards - Heel guard shall have opposite diagonal cut at both ends. - Boot-cap guard shall have protrusion step at the end, appx. 2" wide. This step shall have thin-ribbed rubber strap, going from one outer side to inner side, under the boot's sole. Ribs of the strap should go broadwise and be clearly visible. - There is a ribbed rubber strap, going from one small harness buckle to another, covering the back-calf guard. Ribs of this strap should go lengthwise. There shall be 3 ribs visible, each appx. 1cm wide. - There is an oval groove on the outer side of each shin guard, close to the harness buckle. This groove might be painted black inside. Accs - Rubber or rubber-like belt shall be 85mm wide and have 24 thin ribs visible. - Three front boxes shall be either functional with caps or have imitation of the caps. - Baton holster shall be made of plastic or hard leather or other hard flexible material, white color. It shall have either 2 functional flaps or imitation of the flaps. Each of 2 flaps shall have a button or imitation of the button. - Thermal detonator shall have ribbed cap at the right end. This cap shall stand from the main body up to 2-6mm. - Thermal detonator shall have protrusion at the top and partially at the front areas, imitating the cap, painted semi-gloss black. This black cap area shall protrude in about 2-4mm over the rest body. These are most of details, I see so far for Lvl2.

Really nice pic! oh...looks like HT missed with 2nd canvas pouch behind the baton, on the wearer's left. I haven't seen it nowhere before... Отправлено с моего SM-A520F через Tapatalk

Thanks for sharp eyes, guys, and constructive notes! I was thinking about that ribs as going from the main area to the very top edge, so I thought that I will make them unified on height and not too high. As I thought it will unify the look for both - tall and not so tall troopers. So I agree to you both))) I think we should put something kinda "There are horizontal ribs, going up from the AB-plate main plane area to the top of the center part of the AB-Plate. At least 6 ribs shall be visible." Maybe the correction of "Not more than 6 ribs shall be visible. " shall be added as a quote of perfection for Lvl2. Thank you once again for your notes, will try to make this kit perfect!!! BR Denis Отправлено с моего SM-A520F через Tapatalk

I see now, they have wrong details/shape at: 1) shoulder bells 2) forearms 3) shins 4) thermal detonator 5) backplate 6) aerator details on helmet 7) boot covers 8) collar Maybe they will update model in future, but so far it's "too far" from accurate. Отправлено с моего SM-A520F через Tapatalk

Well, I've seen this collar separation before at DeathTrooper and ShoreTrooper action figures by HotToys. Seems like they somehow have production limitations, which leads them to separate collars. As you know for real armor kits - all collars are always integrated into back plate. So I have modeled mine armor same way as Death/Shore trooper's. As for palm plate - yes, I have that inlay at the front of the plate and rounded corners. But PT plates has different part to highlight. Hope this helps, guys!

Thank you for sharing this! Working over pics at the moment, friends! Will try to upload more asap! Отправлено с моего SM-A520F через Tapatalk

Does anyone have a clear shot of backpack's left square? Looks like ShoreTrooper, but without cooler grid.
