josiff Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Hello there. I'm looking to buy the fully finished commission from RS Props. Is it 501st basic approved as a clean costume (no extra black air brush weathering) or are there any pieces that typically need to be replaced since they are inaccurate? Thanks!

Chopper Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 In terms of the armor and goods themselves, there should be no issues with the RS kit for basic approval. That said, nothing is approved out of the box -- it will entirely depend on how well it fits you. Additional tailoring or trimming may be needed to suit your specific body type. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured there would be some rigging and adjusting so it looks correct, but that's much easier than taking a kit and turning it into something. I just wasn't sure if something on the Imperial Boots soft goods or armor or something was going to have to be replaced completely due to inaccuracy. Adjusting for fit is a different story.

If it fits then the package should be a-ok for basic clearance. At Level 2, there'd be more to look at, potentially, but if you're just interested in basic clearance you should be fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofire Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Hi Joe. I would recommend highly that you pull the CRL and also reach out to your garrison GMLs there in the DSG. You’ll want to make sure with them that there will be no speed bumps as well before you pull the trigger on your purchase. https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TB_Scout_trooper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josiff Posted March 27, 2021 Author Share Posted March 27, 2021 Cool. Checked with the GML and they basically said it's a good kit and should be good if it's fitted correctly and to check on here. Sounds like I'm good to pull the trigger then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
