Tristan, I have made hundreds if not thousands of this compad and sold hundreds if not more as well. All of these have been 501st approved. You are mistaken on your review of my work. My compad has four buttons. Two that have the circular details on them and the two other with slightly raised square details on them in order for them to stand out more with the others. It's a makers mark or what we as prop makers will call a tell tale mark. This is what we do to keep our work from falling into the hands of recasters. My buttons are configured this way, so my work doesn't get mistaken for someone else's work. This being said, it does have the four buttons that are required for it to be screen accurate. I looked at the image close up of my compad and due to the lighting, angle, and matt finish black paint they are very difficult to make out in the image he provided.
 
Thanks, DTR1

Awesome! Looks great.

Had a bit of time on my hands so decided to make myself a Jacket 
 

Philo always was selling the correct "short" belt boxes, and now He's selling also the new Rogue One belt boxes (even more smaller).

He expecially made for me the "CRL version" of the belt boxes (the longest ones) but He never was selling those to anyone... and I want to **THANK SO MUCH** Philo for having made that favor to me.
So all the buyer who purchased Belt Boxes from Philo have received always the correct ones (the short boxes).
 
Cheers,
Alberto

Philo is a huge credit to our Detachment.
 

Thanks very much Kman!!!

Hello Donald,

I acknowledge your request, and aim to review your costume in the next few days.

In the CRL for ANH Warrant Officer it states that for Executor approval Level 2, "ANH Warrant Officer shall not wear gauntlet style gloves."   I found images from screengrabs that shows (what appears to be) a Warrant Officer in the Death Star corridor talking to several StormTroopers and Imperial Navy Troopers.    The Officer has straight leg pants, Knobelbechers and Gauntlet style gloves.    Can the CRL be reviewed and/or revised?

More images. 



 
 
 
 

Nice catch!

We'll add it to the list. 
 
We need members to search the screen shots for good Officer references for the Force Awakens, any help is appreciated.

Good luck, Don!!

Nice submission!!
 
Good Luck!!

Looks good Donny, hope you get the Executor approval! 

Looking sharp, good luck

So, back in December (December 6th) I ordered a rank bar and belt from Tiggwolf Creations on Facebook. About a week ago, I received an email from UPS that a package had been sent to me, and today I got a package in my mailbox! I originally ordered a Commander-style rank bar (4 blue, 2 orange) for 10$, and a Belt for 40$. First of all, I want to say these are -- IN MY EXPERIENCE-- the cheapest I've been able to buy a belt/rank bar. My first set, which weren't even 501st-approvable, cost me almost 70$.
 
I was warned that it would take a few months for the product to get back to me. I was perfectly OK with this and appreciated the warning. I paid through PayPal, a total of 62$ (40 + 10 + 10 for shipping + 2$ tax). About a month after I made my order, I messaged them to see what the progress was and was updated quicker than I could even leave the chat window, told that the order was one of a large batch and would still take a while. I expected this answer and thanked them for the response. A month after that, I asked for an update again, and was updated again. At this time, I asked them if it would be possible to change my order from a Commander-style bar to an ANH Captain-style one (6 orange), a request they obliged happily and I was quite impressed as I fully expected them to tell me that it was too late or there was nothing they could do to alter the order.
 
So, today-- officially 3 months after I made my order-- I received the package in the mail. I immediately unwrapped it and was impressed! The belt was uncut and unpunched, as I requested (but also how I'm told they do it normally) and the belt came in a nice drawstring baggie to protect it from scratches. There was obvious care taken to keep the items safe in transit, with abundant amounts of bubble wrap. The belt is truly a work of beauty and I'm excited to wear it in-uniform. 
 
The bar was impressive, to say the least. I didnt expect it to be so sturdy-- it's made of a rather solid bit of metal, with a strong magnet and nicely shaped blocks of acrylic. I had eagerly unwrapped the bar to see if they indeed kept to my request to change the bar, as if they would've forgotten-- They did not! A beautiful amber bar.
 
I've recommended them before based on their response times alone, but now I can recommend them on their product. A saying goes that you have to sacrifice one of the three when ordering 501st accessories/replicas-- Time, Quality or Expense. Well, it took about 3 months, but now I have a very nice looking and very cost-effective Rank bar and Belt in my wardrobe!

That is a sad story.  Making the one he wears in the Couruscant cocktail flashback.  I need something to drink in.

Just trying to figure out the rules here.  if there are two people in the same uniform it can be generic.  If you only see one person in it you have to do that person?  

That is a lot of nice work Philo.  It could be cleared up with a phone call by the right person to Lucasfilm.

 

Probably not until April when the Blu-Ray is released.  That's not to say there aren't any screen grabs now.  But for sure in a month.

My light grey jump suit is bought, I had the correct jackboots with the gusset already.
Let's do this

Another case of we have to wait for the Blue Ray.  Even then, I'm not sure how much detail we can catch.
 

This week's episode of Rebels entitled "Through Imperial Eyes" is a must see for IOC Officers! The entire episode involves the Imperial Security Bureau and there is so much great officer detail. Keep your eyes peeled. And they actual show the USE of code cylinders! Definitely check it out.

I agree with it being an option, and a cool one at that for a R! IN. As for the pants, that's a tough one, and I see your point, which makes sense. I am thinking though that we did not see IN's with Jodhpurs until ESB. I would think the IN officers in R1 would have the straight leg pants like the ones in ANH. Especially since this takes place right before that. Tough call on that. Maybe once the bluray comes out we can see better.
 
Thanks for the pics as well Kris. I can do 4 blue today if I get around to it.

I imagine this is a simple addition to "Optional Accessories" for the Navy Trooper - rank bars and code cylinders. Then, when/if we apply for Level 2 and 3, the correct combinations will need to be met just as all our other officers.
 
In terms of straight vs. jodhpur, I would imagine jodhpur for this combination considering the rank and cylinders (Staff Officer with a helmet, basically). Unfortunately, only a behind-the-scenes photo will tell for this one.
 
 

This would be cool and should be simple enough to accomplish once a good pic from the movie or a screen cap from the bluray is available. It would be cool to have an IN officer. It probably seems silly to most, but I thought it might be a cool addition or option to the existing CRL for the IN Dress Uniform.
