The rain capes are very cool, and go much further down on the body than I expected which is awesome. Actually useful. I want one for trooping.

I went to the local theatres and, without even planning it, joined a cadre of other Star Wars cosplayers in taking pictures. I was wearing my unfinished Staff Officer uniform, and stood alongside a couple TKs and Jedis and the like.. Unfortunately didn't get a picture of my own, but will post it as soon as I inevitably find myself tagged on Facebook!
 
Here's my official, no-spoilers review of the movie:
 
It's good You should see it.  
I'm mostly excited by the variety of new CRLs the 501st will see from this movie: Death Troopers, Shore Troopers, Imperial Ground Crew, Imperial Armored Crew, Imperial Officer coats, Director Krennic, and a few others.

I'm actually wearing a turtleneck so my neck compresses a bit comfortably for the collar, and also because CosplaySky left a sizable gap underneath the hooks the shows through to the skin below. Otherwise yeah, the only issue I have with the entire uniform is with the boots. Deke did a great job stretching them but I think they're beyond salvagable. I need to either get zippers put in on the inside or sell the boots entirely. 

Nice! That is awesome!

That is somewhat of a loaded question (lol). It is a classic Revell Star Destroyer model kit, painted and lit. I drilled several hundred 1/32" holes into the window ports. Then fed and glued a 1/32" strand of fiber optic cable into the drilled hole. I bunched them into groups and attached them to various white source LED's throughout the model. The engines are lit by 7 blue LED lights and I also used a white LED to illuminate the underside docking bay.

Great job!! Looks frickin AMAZING!!

Awesome job! I think it looks amazing!

This is amazing  looks brilliant!

Wow that is incredible!! It is truly a piece of art. Have you considered making the Death Star? 

Oh man I totally want to do that. What set is it?? How did you mount the lights??

That looks awesome!  Although yes, ideally, some of those lights could be removed so it's a little less Christmasy.  Perfect for the season, though!

Oh, and those eBay gloves are basically the same as the Leather Mystics gauntlets, which are actually a little cheaper.  And I like giving money to a small family business.

Same issue applies, however... they won't pass for level 3.

Just one of my (way too many) hobbies. I built it a couple of years ago. I went a little overboard lighting it, but still one of my favorite builds.
 

 

 

 

For level 3, however, our detachment leaders want to see TIE Pilot-style gloves with the 3 rows of stitching on the back.

Thanks Bro. I have a bunch of models I used to light up for Christmas. We moved recently though and I haven't set them all up yet. My man cave is a wreck right now.

Aw, that's friggen sweet. Nice job! All the little lights feel oddly festive.

I think that you can gauge it by the importance of the officer. More cylinders = Higher rank. I know that Commanders only get two, Admirals only get 3 and the only one with 4 is Tarkin. So I'd assume anything lower than Commander would probably use no more than 2

ACTUALLY ....

There has already been a discussion regarding those trench-coats , and i hate to bring it up again but i have identified those coats months ago alongside Krennic's blaster and boots . The topic you are looking for is this one : http://www.imperialofficer.com/forum/index.php?/topic/6059-rogue-one/&page=3
 

Thing is on those most recent pictures they don't quite look like rubber , so many it's the same kind of coat / pattern but made out of heavy duty fabric . After all those coats weren't exclusively used as rain-coats but were also wind-proof and dust-proof . Or maybe it's just rubber but matte instead of somewhat shiny . Can't wait for the Visual Guide , i'm sure it'll provide valuable informations and pictures as usual . After all they were kind enough to mention what was Hux's greatcoat made of in the TFA one , so they should mention the material for those coats as well . If they are indeed rubber coats they will be easy to find ... Sort of
 
Hmm ... They really look like they're made of heavy-weight fabric though , the parka kind of fabric , most likely treated to be water-proof as well . The have too many folds to be made of rubber . Dammit , we'll need to go custom made again ...
