NurseSparky2019 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Hey all, wondering if I could inquire as to the amount of "crispness/sharpness" that's required for 501st approval. I look at the CRL reference pics and the edges are so much more defined than on my vacuformed kit. Two points in particular, the greeblies on the ab plate and the recesses on the forearms. Will they be acceptable a little "soft"? Maybe I'm just worrying too much about it ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOtrooper Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 This is a question to run by your Garrison's GML as they'll approve your costume initially. There's nothing in the CRL about the sharpness and I personally would not reject a costume because it might look a little soft.That said, if you want to up your game a bit, those areas are pretty easy to replace with 3D printed parts. It's all up to you.Sent from my Moto G (5S) Plus using Tapatalk 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll check with the powers that be, but I’ll be modding any future suits just to satisfy my own neuroses ... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScaryGuy Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Softer edges should not be an issue as long as the details that should be there are clearly visible. You can also use the weathering to create an illusion of a sharper line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a little time and add some fine details in the weathering to accentuate angles/creases, et cetera. Kinda like how my daughters apply their makeup, lol! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
