Congrats!!!

Hi Alberto,
 
These gloves have the incorrect "pinched" lines. If you wish to have the three lines, the seam shouldn't be shown.
 
Here is an example of what what i mean.
 

 
 
 
 
 

I am going to post the refences in here.
 
There were two types of gauntlets used in ANH. The first one was the pilot gauntlets that the TIE-fighter-pilots and X-Wing-pilots used. Thes gauntlets flare out a lot and gave seams on the back of their hands.



 
The second type of gauntlets was used by the navy troopers in dress uniform and the warrant officer. I call does vintage biker gloves. They do not flare out as much as the pilot gauntlet. They do not have any type of stitching or seams on the back of the hand. Instead they have a closure strap on the wrist.



 
In the ESB scanner and bridge crew did not wear gloves. The line officers had plain short leather gloves that had no seams or stitching on the back of their hand.  There were no warrant officers in ESB.



 
The navy troopers in ESB had gauntlets that had a similar form to ANH but they did not have the closure straps.




 
In ROTJ the line officer, warrant officers and the IN in dress uniform wore leather gloves that went past the wrist and had stitching on the back of the hand. All gauntlets in ROTJ seem to have been pilot gauntlets. They all flare out a lot.













 

The CRLs are inconsistant of seams/stitches on gloves/gauntlets because they are that way in the movies.
 
As far as I can tell all gauntlets that are worn by flight suit wearers while Vader and Plapatine arrive in ROTJ are TIE-Fighter-Pilot gauntlets. They flare out a lot and have seams on the back of there hands. The AT-ST drivers wear the same type of gaunltlets.
 
The warrant officer, line officers and the one IN dress uniform that you see during the landing of Darth Vader's shuttle have regular gloves that go past the wrist. Those gloves have stitches but those are different than the ones on the TIE-pilot gauntlets.
 
The gauntlets of the INs and warrant officer in ANH did not have stitching or seams on the back of there hand. Instead they had a band with a closure of some type around their wrist. The line officer is ESB has short leather gloves with no seams or stiching.
 
The short gloves that the line officer in ESB wear do not have seams or stiching on the back of there hand.
 
I will post reference photos as soon as I have uploaded them into my imgur account.

I tried to find screen references, but they're all too dark to see if the have stitching or not. Hopefully someone has access to better sources.
 
But I do agree it seems weird that the costume department - the one that otherwise used the same things throughout - would have two different types of gauntlet gloves.

While at Celebration on Thursday I was wearing my staff officer uniform and a small child, who couldn't have been more than 4 or 5 years old and he was dressed as a Stormtrooper stopped in front of me, came to attention and gave me a salute.   I promptly came to attention myself and saluted him back, I think that will be one of my favorite memories from Orlando.

Join the Empire! We have Ice Cream! 

This!

Cari, I just wonder how this is going to work with all the new material that is coming out each year.  Things may be good for 40 years of material for the original trilogy (and almost 20 for the prequels), but with some exceptions we haven't been getting detailed photos showing every angle of some of the things people are interested in creating.

And people are going ahead with creating them.  They don't always come here and show their builds until after they are finished.  I know that other detachments are relying on "other" sources of information to create what they are making.  The shore troopers got the color right for their builds by asking the costume designer (and he gave it to them).
 
In other cases, other garrisons (notably Italy and Germany) had members create a first order general uniform.  The details of the build came from reference photos from Hux, their evidence for generic officers came from actors and other people in the production.  There are no photos to clearly show that other than the word of people involved in the production (though reference photos exist of how to make it correctly).
 
What I am asking is "is there any mindset to adjust things for the new potential costumes to build them with the best information that is available at the time?" 
 
I ask that because if we are going to wait for very clear and undebatable screen shots, like in a costume compilation book, we may be waiting many years for it.  Other people are asking too.

Friendly neighborhood LMO here, posting today about CRL's and You.  What I am about to outline is not a step by step detailed thing, but rather, a high level informational post about CRL's and the path they take throughout their "lives".  What we want and aim for is a set of references a person can use to craft a costume that is as close to screen / reference material as possible.  That is the goal.  We also need to keep consideration of our members in mind.
 
For new CRL's, it goes like this:  a proposal is made by the detachment or member.  If the member is already working with the detachment, great.  If not, they get directed there.  The detachment will provide the LMO with all requested reference material and proposed wording for the proposed new CRL.  The LMO will review on a first pass, saying whether or not a CRL can/should be created.  With that green light, work can forge forward.  Please note, that is just a yes/no on whether or not the CRL can be made.  No review is done on wording at that time.  Once the detachment has finished its wording and collected its pictures, they submit to the LMO.
 
LMO reviews.  LMO Team reviews.  Lead LMO reviews.  At each review period, expect that wording changes will take place.  Expect that new, extra, different photos may be required.  Then Lead LMO sends the finished product back to the DL for a thumbs up.  Then, it gets published and "made green".
 
As for edits and updates to already existing CRL's .... they are done with almost as much multi-person involvement and sanity checking.
Once a detachment (in this case, you folks here) decide that a change should be made, that change gets posted in your designated place.  LMO reviews it.  LMO Team reviews it.  Lead LMO reviews in some cases.  Once the proposed change gets the thumbs up, THEN the change is made in Databank.
 
At no point is anything assured with a proposed new CRL or edit ... until it is actually published.  And it only gets published after multiple reviews.  This has not been, necessarily, how things worked in years past.  And it is, indeed, a tightening up from last year.  This is not in place to be obstructive.  Rather, it is an effort to keep edits sane, transparent, and to keep everyone, including the membership at large, informed.

Thank you Alberto

If You are interested on great comm pads replica - in black or white vacuformed ABS (I have bought 2 black to replace my and my wife old resin comm pads, and they looks great and have the right size and details), I have a friend who makes them.
on the first picture You can see a batch run.
 
I have asked him a link to share here, if someone is interested.
 
Here is the link, if interested.

Here You can see the original 3D printed master, used to vacuform the comm pads

Thanks very much Kman!!!

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.
 

I totally agree with Ruthar.
I made a little research while I was asking for Executor Clearence level... here are some pictures of the CRL belt boxes (4 1/2 - awfully long ) and the more correct ones (the tiny ones, 3 1/2 inches long)... obviously it is a very personal opinion.
 

 

 

 
In the following images You can see the CRL box (the longest one) and the 3 1/2 box installed on an Imperial Belt.
The overall dimensions of the Belt buckle and the black leather strip match exactly the CRL dimension.
 
... please look carefully also to the attached screenshot, taken from A New Hope, and compare the dimension of the Imperial Scanning Crews belt boxes to the Belt Bucke and the belt leather strip they have on.
 

 

 

 
Cheers,
Alberto.
