Hey everyone just found out the CRL has been updated for the Thermal Detonator & thought i would let everyone know what i found

 

Belt and Detonator

For 501st approval:

  • Gloss white, semi-gloss or lightly weathered.
  • The front and two "boxes" of the belt are made of plastic.
  • The remainder of the belt that fastens at the back of the waist, is made from a textile material (webbing).
  • Hanging from the sides of the belt are hip boxes (drop boxes).
    • Drop boxes are also made from plastic.
    • Drop boxes are connected to the belt via white textile straps.
      • If using off-white Cummerbund pouches and side straps, the drop box straps are also off-white.

    [*]Attached to the The back of the belt is a rectangular thermal detonator box with short grey corrugated hose.

    [*]The correct thermal detonator greeblies are attached to the box.

    • The rectangular part of the thermal detonator greeblie, fixed on the left side of the detonator, is the same as used in the rebel Endor trooper rank badge.
    • On the right hand side is the same round greeblie as used on the Scout tank topper.
    • See the detonator detail page for a close up image of the greeblies.

( Looks like Level 2 is where the changes have taken place on the CRL )

 

For level two certification (if applicable):

  • Belt ideally should be made from a one-piece construction with no visible gaps, and not separated with fabric in between sections, apart from at the back where the TD box sits. Making any joins in a 3 part belt seamless, is highly recommended.
  • Drop boxes hang at the correct distance from the belt.
  • Thermal Detonator end caps to be concave and not flat.
  • Thermal Detonator must have visible black clips attaching it to the web belt, as seen in the film.
  • Optional:- Thermal Detonator tube to be wire wrapped and not ribbed tube.

These updates were made public in October, but it took awhile to get them on the 501st site!
