Yep.

Not too much difference between the two variations. Tread pattern on the boot, and side arch should be exactly like what's shown on screen for the Elite status. Yes, like the Crow or Pit Crew boots. That's the style they based the boots from. And don't forget the little arch cutouts along the bottom of the sole, for the base requirements. They go around the boot. A dremmel works wonders on those. But, you'll get the good burnt rubber smell when doing that. Just sayin'....

The paint jobs are matte in color. The only thing "shiny" should be the reflective green lens in the helmet.

Good days are the best!

Hey Nate...I'll take those off your hands. You don't need them.

Try a grey spray paint and see if it holds.

Agree on one color. Suede or leather...who cares??? Not everybody will get the EXACT same material. It's all up to cost and material availability. Accept both. Just have a very similar color!

Okay by me.

Wow, that stuff looked very familiar. Looks good to me, Nate. Do any of the CS of the Pathfinders have to give their "okay" on this? What I mean, is...does there have to be a consensus among the staff for a finalization of the CRL? Anyone else? Agreements? Disagreements? We need to know what your thoughts are, fellow Kashyyykians! (Before this can be finalized as the Kashyyyk Trooper (BARC) CRL.) Whew!

Ooooh yeah! Two at one time!

Nah, that DC looks awful. You're just going to have to send it to me. I'll take care of it for you. You're getting a DC rifle from 'ol W. Chuck? Excellent detail. You won't regret that. And when did our cat take a trip up north?? (Here kitty-kitty-kitty...)

Excellent!

Like I said...just suggestions. Okay then, off-white or tan for the basic boot requirement. How about just "grey" for the cummerbund. No "light" or "dark." Because not everbody will have the same material. And still what about the multi-cam on the pouches? I do know of a few in current build that have their pouches already completed with multi-cam. Plus, one of those also has a grey riding patch on the pants. And the pants are already completed, too. I was just putting up ideas, not concrete CRL's. So, what's going to happen with all of this, mate? And...never really thought of velcro for the buckle, to make it an actual useable wrist strap. Not a bad idea.

"Chime-chime" Yeah, a little more fitting around the neck, and not so high. You'll have a black balaclava underneath, anyway. It does look good, though.

I posted these helmets to show the possible modifications that could be done, not to ask for criticism on the paint. I stated that in the first post.

Different builds and styles of the Kashyyyk Trooper helmet 1. My son's helmet - "MrBungle" style (left side) (right side) 2. My wife's helmet - "Fett" style with modified flip-open visor/ face 3. My daughter's helmet- "Fett" style one-piece (Just attach the visor.) 4. My helmet - "Fett" style with modified removable visor / face - (No comments on the paint. Pay no attention to the yellow. This is just to show the helmet modification.) (held together with small earth magnets)

Ha! That's great. Blend it into the camo on the backside of one of your shins. Nobody looks at the shins or feet, except us.

The "buckle" as it has been dubbed, is nothing spectacular. It's just a small piece of "material" that looks just like the wrist strap.

Whatever appeals to the masses. Have fun.

The following will have nothing to do with the 3-D renderings or any other type of "reference material" that is not what's seen in the movie. All currently approved Kashyyyk Trooper do not have to worry about doing any changes. 501st Requirements for Kashyyyk Trooper approval... http://www.501st.com...ashyyyk_trooper The proposed idea would be what would be considered..."screen accurate." First are the basic requirements. Following those will be the comparisons to those listed to achieve an advanced status. Basic requirements that are currently stated with the following changes: **Be aware that the phrase "As close as possible" will be used a few times, because it pertains to this area.** 1. Soft parts (Undersuit) - this would stay the same. This would stay the same due to availability of materials. If there is a camo undersuit that, when dyed dark brown, and it comes "as close as possible" then it could be accepted. Remember, it's availability. Not everybody can get the same camo suits. 2. Boots: Change from current "main body of boot: white" to "tan body with tan soles." And the boots could be any style that the owner can get that, when modified, will look "as close as possible" to the screen style. (Once again, availability of material.) 3. Gloves: Stay as is. (Grey knuckle pad, grey wrist strap.) 4. Elbow straps: Stay as is. (Two separate thin black rubber straps.) 5. Camo paint style: Same as current. This is where the phrase "As close to what's seen in the movie" applies. Not everybody will paint the same. So "as close as possible" should still stay as is. 6. Change color of riding patch from grey to tan (Oatmeal) 7. Cummerbund - Grey cummerbund with camo colored weathering. Change "Dark grey base with lighter grey vertical straps" to "Light grey with grey vertical straps." (Also with weathering.) It's the weathering that might cause some to say a tan cummerbund. The shade of grey coloring will depend on what type of material you use to make the cummerbund. Now for the advanced status. This is still "screen accurate" like the above, but with more detailing to be dang near exactly what's in the movie. 1. Soft parts: British DPM pants and shirt. In my opinion (Others can agree or disagree) these have the closest pattern to what's seen in the movie. Still remove all unwanted pockets, and blah-blah. Dye dark brown with a touch of black to achieve the proper level of darkness. 2. Boots: Finding the boots that look exactly like the boots in the movie. They must have the same tread and sole as depicted in Ep. III. The Kenneth Cole Pit Crew shoes seem to have been the closest. The same boots used for Jango Fett and Galactic Marines. Or Crow62 boots, if you are lucky enough to get them. (Still tan with tan soles) 3. Gloves: Same style with slight color changes. The knuckle pads and wrist strap would be a slight tan-grey color instead of just grey. (As pointed out by KWDesigns). Once again, open for debate, but this would be for the higher status, if wanted. After looking at picture after, those particular parts do appear to have a tan appearance to them. Plus, the addition of the "buckle" on the wrist strap. (Also in the same tannish-grey color) Still open for comments, but it's for the higher status. Nobody says that you have to do it. 4. Elbow straps - One piece strap. Center of strap is black with two grey strips on the outside. There are screen shots from the movie in other threads. (Remember, this is just for the advanced status, not a requirement.) 5. Camo paint style: This should be really detailed to resemble what's seen in the movie. It would not use any "patterns" or what we all do now. Airbrushing (Or whatever style of painting you prefer) to get the blending, shading, weathering, and battle damage. Like as stated before, all of the above suggestions are based on images from the movie, not the "3-D" renderings. Hopefully these suggestions to the CRL changes will hopefully appeal to all. It incorporates the various color changes to be "screen accurate" and add the advanced status to achieve a more detailed costume. Please post any input, comments, or concerns. That way, those that are currently in the middle of builds, will get the final CRL to go by, and not worry if they have to make changes based on our currently incomplete CRL. The advanced status is only a suggestion, not a requirement. So, only the Basic CRL suggestion is the main focus, which is still referring to "screen-accurate."

Might do this just for fun... It's an all white Kashyyyk Trooper with a black jumpsuit underneath and what looks like a combination of the two helmets. Maybe it's the transition between the Kashyyyk Trooper and the Biker Scout.

If these are the BikerChick greeblies, could somebody post a few pictures of them? (Elbow and knee straps.) I haven't seen them yet. I'm used to the MrBungle version.

Basic Level approval CRL - Screen image Kashyyyk Trooper. Advanced status - More accurate details to select parts. These are just examples of how it could be done. That way, the basic approved Kashyyyk Trooper will be based on the screen images. The level three certification on Clonetroopers.net example of Commander Bly. The knee strap is considered a level three if: "the center of the strap is primer grey. ' In ROTS, Bly is on screen for a whole hot few seconds, and at no time do you see his knee strap. So, that is based on either 3-D renderings or statues made by Sideshow Collectibles or other makers. Maybe "41st Elite" for the advanced status. Gree is the commander of the 41st Elite division.
