Chopper Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Some small edits. Borrowed some terminology from the Tie Pilot CRL for the flight suit and edited some other details in bold. Flight Suit The undersuit is a one or two-piece black textile suit, such as military flightsuits, motorcycle racing suits, industrial work clothing (Red Kap/Dickies), or similar suits modified appropriately. A Mandarin style collar closure flap covers the neck area with a chevron shaped, left-over-right velcro closure. The suit is free of any visible labels, logos or zippers (including built in flight suit pockets). (2) leg pockets with straight flaps. Belt and Detonator Gloss white or semi-gloss Moderate to heavy Sandtrooper-style weathering The front and four "boxes" of the belt are made of plastic. The remainder of the belt that fastens at the back of the waist is made from webbing material. There are only two (2) visible rivets on the belt: one on each side toward the back to connect the webbing closure material to the plastic belt Hanging from the sides of the belt are two plastic hip boxes ("drop boxes"). 4 black parachute buckles attach to the drop box straps, one on either side of the drop box. The parachute buckles attached to the back of the belt are threaded with the white textile straps in front of the buckle. Drop boxes connect to the belt via white textile straps. If using off-white cummerbund pouches and side straps, the drop box straps are also off-white. Thermal detonator box with short corrugated hose attaches to the back of the belt. The correct thermal detonator greeblies are attached to the box. The rectangular part of the thermal detonator greeblie, fixed on the left right side of the detonator, is the same as used in the rebel Endor trooper rank badge. On the right left 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. Knee Armor Knee armor is worn inverted, as compared to the ROTJ Scout Gloss white or semi-gloss Moderate to heavy Sandtrooper-style weathering Black elastic is used to secure the armor around the leg. 2 1

Mr Fett Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Things I had noticed: Just copy and paste the TIE Pilot or Imperial Crewman flightsuit sections into this, since that's what it is. Omit the vest section, since there is none. 1" woven style elastic to secure shoulder bells, biceps, forearms, knees. No secondary upper strap on knees like the ROTJ knees. No shoulder bridge cloth covers. One of the two TB's had no pinstriping on his tank. Just the tank topper. So that maybe could be an optional thing? 1

Will do...except the vest, it is clearly there in some shots. [EDITED] 2. We won't use exact measurements on a Level 1 CRL 3. That was already taken out 4. We'll try to get a consensus from all the Scouts on the show. We typically don't write CRLs to allow for every modification seen, but instead to represent a general idea of what the costume is supposed to be.

Never mind we will remove the vest. I'm looking at that scene again on my TV and I can see now that it's the TIE Pilot pocket on the sleeve, not a vest. Consider the vest gone! 3
Tarrif Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 If it helps the armor is from Walt's Trooper Factory and the soft parts (including vests) and boots were made by Steph Mortimer. There's some debate over the helmet. WTF provided helmets but I'm not sure if those are them on screen. Some people have said EFX helmets, and others have said EFX with WTF face plates. Also, in ep. 8 the greeblies for the thermal detonator are reversed. I think this is because you can see they are attached with zip ties to the belt. The belt looks to be a regular canvass belt used by the TK's. You can see it at Ep8 3:19 The weathering makes it stand out. Same time stamp shows one scout with pin-striping on the tank and one without. Same time stamp and you can see they both clearly have vests on. I think there are some "hero" and "stunt" TB's in the series with varying degrees of detail.
BikerScout007 Posted January 13, 2020 Author Posted January 13, 2020 Oh I am well aware of the armor maker. We don't endorse armor makers in the CRLs so it doesn't matter. I've heard the rumor about the face plate but it doesn't look like a WTF faceplate to me so I don't know. I looked at the Scouts on the bikes closer and the "vests" just seem to be the pocket on the TIE Pilot jumpsuit they are wearing. 3

I highly doubt they would even consider it after seeing how they actually protrayed the scouts. It was a hit and run when it came to the TB's. 3

There were a lot of Scouts in ROTJ that had a small difference here and there. The CRL for that Scout is a broad consensus of what the ideal version is supposed to be. We will do the same with the Mandalorian Scout CRL. 3
Mr Fett Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 I did notice that the one TB without the baby shoulder bag (aka the one with no tank pinstripes) is also the one who had his cumberbun pouches tucked behind his plastic belt. So likely as time goes on, you'll start seeing 501st TB's of this costume do random mixes of stuff like this.

ROTJ Scouts won't be subject to the poor choices of the TV show. 3 1
Mr Fett Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 Since BikerScout007 asked me about the neck seal in another thread, I'll put it in here as well. There is a neck seal. Right after Adam Pally says "can I see it?" (baby Yoda), Jason Sudeikis then says a few short things, then tilts his head all the way back, exposing the neck. I count 5 ribs on a neck seal showing above the collar of his TIE Pilot jumpsuit. Now, as far as a CRL goes, I guess it depends on how the helmet sits on a certain costumers head. For some people, the helmet might drop far enough down the collar where you'd never see if they even had on a neck seal or not. But on others with perhaps longer necks, having a visible neck seal might be prudent. 1
BikerScout007 Posted January 15, 2020 Author Posted January 15, 2020 I'll give it another look! Sounds like it's something that could be optional?
The Sleepy Llama Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 Small suggestion, can we change the name to "Imperial Remnant Scout"? Just a thought.

bobafett4ever Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Hello. How's this CRL progress going? Wasn't sure if anything specific was holding anything up or if any help was needed for anything? Sorry, I'm new to the detachment and looking to make this as soon as the CRL is approved. I'm ready to pull the trigger on some parts... so just curious. Thanks much

A CRL cannot be approved until we have a costume that we can photograph. Fortunately, we are working with @Tarrif on that. He's very close to completing his build. At which point we'll be able to get photos, do the final tweaks on the language and then submit to the LMO team. And we also happen to have the best LMO in the biz to help us sail smoothly through that process. 2 1

Tarrif was the person on Reddit who actually provided me info on where to begin to get parts . Thanks much and I really appreciate you guys working on this one! 3
Soundwave Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 If there is anything further that I can do to help with on the CRL (other than previous discussion), please let me know. 1
Tarrif Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Got my soft parts from Steph Mortimer. Gonna weather then and ready to wear this weekend. 3 1
