Heatshock Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 ok I admit, this was a hold back from Mr Bungles time. and also the fact that we couldnt agree to the shade of tan we were goign for there was a thread on various dying attempts by "skupinski" even on the blurry shots its tan its even on the 3D renders 2 things then: do we hold to tradition - as in the 1st few blurry shots, it was interpreted as grey better DVD adn 3D renders - it kind of looks dirty grey? maybe? shall we now change to tanned ? And we havent even begun to discuss - leather? cloth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Recon Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Tan leather... That's what in seeing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledmilk Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 You can definitely see the texture so I say a leather for sure but color I kinda agree tan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatshock Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 Here's that thread I was talking abt with dye tests on the leather http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=6025 Now remember guys, we are seeing the textured look only because of the 3d renders, not the actual screen captures.

Death Recon Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I know it's only the 3d rendered pic that we see the texture in... But if we look at the next closest armour with a riding patch; ie. the Scout Trooper then we know from their CRL that he riding patch would be leather. That's taking it a step further than just visual because the lack of quality shots of the crouch regen for our beloved Kashyyyk Trooper. If I had to only go on what we see from the screen caps I would say that the patch is baige-ish tan. The way I see it the more opinions on what people are seeing as the true colours the better.

Chef Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 For what it's worth chaps... I put a post in the general thread to point out this "oatmeal" colour that I used for my Snow Scout. It's a suede material (as per the scout CRL... not leather... but leather based). It's not TAN, and it's not GREY... it's somewhere in between. I like it. Here's a pic: I got it from eBay. Here's the link, although it's UK based. So not sure if you chaps over the pond can get hold of a similar material. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Blackout-Faux-Suede-Curtain-Lining-Fabric-13-colours-/160918792220?pt=UK_Crafts_Fabric&var=460133244636&hash=item257781e81c You'll need to scroll over to the oatmeal colour. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heatshock Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 rofl - if we can agree on this; I will buy some of this material and offer it up to my DPMs? what say we all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Recon Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I say yes, this oatmeal looks more like the beige-ish tan I tryed to explain... Well seems that the seller doesn't like to ship to Canada, guess I won't be getting any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledmilk Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 doesnt mean we cant work something out. we can get some stuff to canada if need be. i say yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatshock Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 no worries my brothers - I will get a sample, then if we all like it; happy to get it sent all here and have em shipped out we are, after all, an international bunch part of the reason Mr Bungle and I got on so well when we 1st started was precisely for that matter. we can sort it out man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledmilk Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 so do i need to just build to the 501st recognized CRL if im getting cleared in the next 2-4 months (hopefully a lot sooner) or should i start tailoring to these minute changes now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatshock Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 our DL has a different opinion, but over on CT.net - any change in CRL has a 6 month grace period. I would contact ur local GML to see what he thinks my personal opinion - would be the current CRL should apply until 6 months from the new one being published. for the riding patch, it looks like we are heading down a oatmeal colour. And certainly if this is proven more accurate (as it does on both the 3D renders AND screen shots). But as yet, we have not consulted widely enough nor agreed a colour or texture outside of the 4 of us. But if this IS the correct colour and texture (personally I think so!) I will be changing mine again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 If you need any of this material, I've got some left from my build. Nate, I'll grab you on FB and arrange to post it up to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4505Marcel Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 At the end of the day, if something is wrong in the CRL it should be changed immediately, so new guys can get it right. That being said if a trooper has already started and is close to completion then it is down to their GML to use their discression, and I would certainly back them up to get cleared. I pesonally would build to what you see on screen and then you have nothing to worry about bro same as our Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB5994 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Not grey Suede all the way, riding wear patches are predominantly suede, the is the biker is the evolution of the Kashyyyk, as the TK is the clone, follow the logical similarities, which were no coincidence, and you'll come to the logical conclusion, that they would be suede, not leather.

Grumpy Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Suede. (Material) Oatmeal...or "gran." (Color) My opinions. That's all END OF LINE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miqt Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Taupe, Oatmeal, Mocha. can we photoshop to cut that color out and make a bigger sample to get it in our heads better what its supposed to look like? I own photoshop an i think it can do stuff like that, but i cant even put a pic of me on a sw background. Please? Someone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatshock Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 ok - thanks to chef, material is wierd in real life! for all the inference of evolution of one trooper to the other - it doent matter. on screen, it still looks very textured thanks to DR for the BR screen grab so NOT grey - agreed. but are we happy to accept suede? the screen grab still looks like leather. or for practical sake, we accept both?

Grumpy Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatshock Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 I would agree sir - glad we are on the same page Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Recon Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Ok cool. well whenever one of you gets around to getting that "oatmeal" coloured material don't forget about your Canadian counterpart, they don't ship over here and I still need the riding patch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
