zediyeti Posted February 29, 2024 Posted February 29, 2024 I believe I am finally ready to submit this. Please note that I am only 5'3", and that the kit has some wear and tear from trooping that I did my best to clean up. I hope neither of these are an issue. I look forward to your response, and to making my costume the best it can be!

Chopper Posted February 29, 2024 Posted February 29, 2024 Thank you, your application has been received. We will come back with our notes once the review is complete.
MrPoopie Posted February 29, 2024 Posted February 29, 2024 Can we get some reference pictures of your EC-17 Blaster.
zediyeti Posted February 29, 2024 Author Posted February 29, 2024 Just now, MrPoopie said: Can we get some reference pictures of your EC-17 Blaster. Is one required? I had assumed it was optional
zediyeti Posted February 29, 2024 Author Posted February 29, 2024 4 minutes ago, MrPoopie said: Blaster is required for Lvl 2. Oh sorry, I misunderstood. I thought it was just a blaster was required for level 2 costumes, so I put up my DLT-19. I’ll get some photos
zediyeti Posted February 29, 2024 Author Posted February 29, 2024 This is a 3d print with files from MinuteFett. However when I was finishing it, I didn’t pay mind to the scope ridges and they got filled in, so I know that will need to be fixed. I have already contacted someone from my garrison to resin print me a new part that I will hopefully get this weekend and will update with photos of the repaired blaster if I happen to finish it sooner than you are done reviewing
MrPoopie Posted February 29, 2024 Posted February 29, 2024 Can we get a shot of the front so we can see down the barrel.
MrPoopie Posted March 5, 2024 Posted March 5, 2024 Here is our assessment. Your application is very well put together with a good attention to the details and CRL. That being said, the list below is our remarks. Let us know if you need clarification on any of these items. Chest Try to see if you can bring the chest up a bit (maybe an inch or so). Before you start cutting just see if you can get it to sit a little higher in the front. This will help bring the pouches up as well as the bund. If you are unable to do this you may need to overlap the shoulder bridges a bit and then cut off the excess from the chest and back shoulders bridges. Start by overlapping the bridges a little and tape everything in place to see how it looks and feels and if it brings the chest up a little. If everything works then you can remove a small amount of the bridges. Cummerbund Cummerbund should be moved up 1-1.5". This will help bring the pouches up and move them off the belt. Biceps Biceps should be moved up 1/2" to 3/4". They are a tad too low. Vest Can you provide us with a couple more pictures of your upper body in better lighting (outdoors). We're trying to evaluate the vest but are unable to see well enough to make a full assessment. You vest appears to have a secondary stitch on the sleeves and does not appear to be a raglan sleeve. If this secondary stitch is not visible when suited up with the chest and back covering then it's passable.
zediyeti Posted March 6, 2024 Author Posted March 6, 2024 I shall aim to make these adjustments and get photos this weekend while trooping or next week! 1
zediyeti Posted March 18, 2024 Author Posted March 18, 2024 Excuse that I have no gloves or forearms on, this was taken after a parade yesterday and I was more focused on the chest/pouches. Is this more of the spacing that it should be at? It is difficult to fit all of it onto my frame, there isn't that much real estate on my torso! I moved the bund up about 1.5", as measured by moving up the velcro on the vest that it attaches to to stay up. The chest, too, was moved up about the same to accommodate for the pouches sitting higher. The biceps were also moved up 1'2" I didn't think to take a full turnaround of the chest/back shoulder spacing for the vest in the sun. Let me know and I can take those of all angles, but for now here is this!
MrPoopie Posted March 18, 2024 Posted March 18, 2024 Can you please repost the vest pictures as they are not available any more. We're trying to use them for comparison.
zediyeti Posted March 18, 2024 Author Posted March 18, 2024 Yeah, half of these were hosted on discord which i didn’t realize started expiring photo links :’( i’ll have to go back and replace the broken ones with imgur. i’ll update the vest photos right now to start, at least 1 1
MrPoopie Posted March 19, 2024 Posted March 19, 2024 You've corrected the pouches, chest and general spacing of the front armor as well as the biceps and everything there looks good. The only thing remaining is the vest which currently will not pass Lvl 2 standards. The disqualifier is the secondary stitch line giving it a faux raglan sleeve look as it states in the CRL "Vest sleeves have the appearance of being raglan". Since this stitch line is visible from the front (1st Image below) when your armor is on this will not work. Your vest needs to have the appearance of a raglan sleeve such as the example vest pictured (2nd image below). Please let us know if you have any questions about this or need a more detailed explanation. You're very close a this point and the vest is the only thing left to sort out. Great work so far. Example Vest:
zediyeti Posted March 21, 2024 Author Posted March 21, 2024 ope, that was me interpreting the CRL wrong with the “appearance of being raglan” part. i see now! I have already started a new vest yesterday, so i’ll photo it and kit up again here soon. 1
zediyeti Posted April 7, 2024 Author Posted April 7, 2024 Finally finished the vest. Here it is! I also believe I fixed all of the broken image links
MrPoopie Posted April 7, 2024 Posted April 7, 2024 Can you turn the vest inside out and take a picture? We're trying to see if the sleeves are padded or just have sewn on ribbing directly onto the fabric by itself.
zediyeti Posted April 8, 2024 Author Posted April 8, 2024 It is made of the same materials as my original, so it has cotton batting in between two layers of black cotton. I hope this shows it better p.s. i trooped today and got a comment from my friend that everything looked like it was fitting/sitting better lately!
