    PArmstr got a reaction from Stormystormtrooper in screen-used Imperial line officer tunic from LFL   
    Many people try to use the McCall's M 4745 Civil War pattern for the tunic. I don't recommend it because the shoulders of the sleeve are weird. The instructions are also a little bit difficult to follow.

    Some people use the Butterick B6340 pattern for the jodhpurs trousers.

    I suggest using Hawk's pattern from the forum for the tunic.

    If you want to use the McCall's M4745 pattern as a base I recommend following Char Tozard steps. He did a very good job with his uniform.

    Hi folks.
     
    The LMO received a request from IOC to include the imperial enlisted flight suit  in the 501st roster of costumes. 
     
    If it passes our LMO poll in 7 days time we'll be back here to help with the CRL.

    Thanks for that. My wife is an experienced seamstress and makes a lot of our Garrison's costumes but the Officer tunic is a first for her. She said she'll figure it out and post one when its done so she can help others. Cheers.

    PArmstr reacted to sundancekat in Proposed changes to Executor/Imperator judging criteria for 2021   
    Hey everybody!  Bob mentioned this topic earlier today in his detachment newsletter, but the discussion for it has thus far been on the staff-only section of the forums, which isn't visible to the membership at large.  So, I would like to duplicate my comments here to solicit more feedback.
     
    I would like to make three changes to the judging standards used by deployment officers to judge L2/L3 (Executor/Imperator) submissions.  I believe these changes will remove some subjectivity and ambiguity from the process.  These changes primarily affect Imperator (L3) submissions since the criteria for those is higher than they are for Executor (L2).
     
    1. Judging done on CRL specifications only; no unwritten/subjective criteria
     
    In the past, applicants have been judged on criteria that are not explicitly spelled out in the CRL, such as the presence of undyed vs. dyed edges on belts, edge grooves on belts, numbers of belt holes, jodhpur shape, tunic length, etc.  Since these are not spelled out in the CRL (or were not in the past; some may be now), there is no way for the applicant to prepare in advance unless they are "in the know", and there is no guarantee the unwritten criteria will be applied consistently across all applicants and different deployment officers.
     
    Going forward, we will judge applicants solely based on what is explicitly stated in the CRL.  Some of the criteria I mentioned above have since been added into their respective CRLs (such as undyed belt edges on the ANH Staff Officer CRL) anyway.  If any deployment officers or other IOC staff believe we should be judging based on criteria that are not currently in the CRL, we will discuss them as CRL edits and get them added there (if the consensus goes that way) before they will be used to judge any L2/L3 submissions.
     
    This does not mean that deployment officers are prevented from making recommendations or suggestions to applicants based on details that are present in reference material but aren't explicitly stated in the CRLs.  However, these recommendations will be in the form of suggestions only, and will not be used to deny L2/L3 applications.
     
     
    2. Emulating an on-screen/canon officer is encouraged, but not required.
     
    One of the current expectations for L3 submissions is that the applicant emulate a specific officer configuration (in other words a specific rank bar + code cylinder + belt box + glove + sidearm + any other accessory configuration).  Again, for "generic" CRLs, this isn't spelled out as a L3 requirement.  As long as the applicant's individual costume pieces meet CRL criteria and they are in a configuration that makes sense for that costume (for example: no OT rank bar with Rogue One belt boxes), we will not require that the applicant pick a specific officer configuration and emulate them.
     
    We still encourage applicants to emulate a specific officer configuration since that's the easiest way to be really really accurate  and it's a way to show love to a favorite canon officer , but again, this is only if the applicant wants to.
     
     
    3. One submission per CRL/version
     
    In the past, multiple L3 submissions have been allowed on a single CRL, due to the requirement that applicants emulate an on-screen officer.  Some applicants were then able to rack up many L3 awards on a single costume by switching accessories (for example: submitting their line officer as Admiral Piett, then General Tagge, then Captain Needa). Instead, we propose to allow only one L2 and one L3 submission for an approved costume on a single discrete CRL.  
     
    The exception to this will be for CRLs with version tabbing.  An applicant can submit one L2 and one L3 submission for each version of a CRL.  For example, Krennic has four version tabs, so someone could conceivably submit four L2 and four L3 applications if they have all the required options.

    Here are screencaps of the Officer, the ISB Agent, and the Death Trooper on Tatooine. If I compare the color of the officer's boots to the clothing of the ISB Agent then the clothing looks black to me. The tunic of the officer is light to medium gray and the yoke of the ISB Agent is dark gray.

    This Helmet has the up- and down moving Faceplate. It is rather small, i would recommend to scale it up by some percent, but it turns out quite nicely. 3D Print, so the Putty- and Sandjob is a Pain in the A***, but it is definately worth the Effort!

    On page 123 of Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide you can see that Ensign Yort Cavwol (top left corner), Lieutenant Danbit Brun (top right corner) and 2nd Lieutenant Frobb (above the MSE-6 Droid) all wear black flight suits. Crewman Todes Halvax (top center) wears a grey flight suit.
     
    The text on page 122 states: "Similarly, service technicians are low down the imperial hierarchy and are routinely ignored by those in command. Grey-uniformed technicians deal with the most menial of duties, while those in black overalls are higher in station. Navy troopers, gunners and ground crew are military roles that may not see combat, but play a vital role in day-to-day operations. The Death Star project has great need of such personnel.

    I was trying out the patterning that I did after reading some books on pattern Manipulating.

    I will try to do the breakdown if I can. (and I will be editing the wording alot the way. Sorry for the in convenient) 

    When you do your base pattern, mark out on where is the main base on the front, as the shoulder is a different cut out.



    This is how the pattern will look.



    Next, draw the line that you will be doing the fold later on, try to get them in the same point.   



    Cut up the panels into 4 parts like the picture below. After you place this panels on a paper and give it some measurements between each other, stick them or glue them down on a paper. 




    After that try to get the top line to be aline to one and other then cut the paper again. 




    And this is how the pattern looks like after it unfold out. The pointed top will give you the indication on here your fold line will be at. 



    And there you have it. This is how the fold looks


    And this is how on the fabric may look like after you do the cut out and sewing on it.

    Hello Fellow Officers!!
     
    Some of you may know, but many likely do not, but I just got married this summer. And, as both of us were huge Star Wars fans, we had... lets say, a themed wedding. It was really great. I dressed up as my Grand Admiral, my best man and all my groomsmen were Officers. Even the bridesmaids wore rank bars, and Krennic (who is also our friend) did the ceremony. We also invited my Garrison to come out and walk down the aisle with us. It was spectacular, and I thought some of you would like to see the pictures. All photo credits go to JRush Photography.

    As we wanted to do one photo on wearing a dress or a skirt with our officer outfit. So early on I did a inspired imperial Officer dress with a high slit after I saw the Solo movie on the officers socializing at the crimson dawn party. So just wanted to have a inspired dress for female imperial Officer.
