Agreed with above. Looks great but too pricey for me, 40 pound is $80 without even factoring in shipping

Greetings fellow officers, These past months have been difficult for all of us. So, I thought it would be fun if some off you would like to attend an online friendly gaming event. There are still details that I am working out for this event. If anyone is interested, Please let me know. Also, the game we would be playing is " AMONG US ". If you don't know what the game is, Here's a link at the bottom. Please be patient, because I'm still talking with buckrogersbarker about how to set this up. Thank you fellow Officers for your time.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
 

I have finished this costume. Here is what it looks like. Perhaps this can be used to create a CRL. This is currently approved as a Imperial Military Officer (non saga). More images available here on Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1MohLohNJM8urdiMBjuIwcMukvlQDXKoo

Thanks for all your hard work on this, great to see it green lighted!

Onto the next one!

COSTUME NAME UPDATE:
 
[Revised]: Imperial Security Services Staff Officer (Non-Saga)

 
CONTEXT DESCRIPTIVE TEXT UPDATE:
 
[Revised]: 
These black uniformed officers are high class soldiers within the Empire’s Imperial Army and provide a commanding presence among the legions of Stormtroopers where their leadership roles often inspire troops in battle. These ambitious officers not only serve aboard starships and military installations but are also pilots for transports.
 
The Security Services are a separate branch to the Imperial Army and Navy composed of members ideologically committed to the preservation of the Emperor's New Order. The elite officers and enlisted of the Security Services are entrusted with key security checkpoints, detention blocks, star destroyer bridges, and production facilities.  They often augment imperial military forces and lead stormtroopers.  Security Service personnel almost exclusively manned the Death Star earning them the nickname "Death Star Troopers".

Update!  The LMO team officially approved moving forward with this CRL.  So we'll start formally building the CRL on the back end next, using my text above as a starting point, then work together for more proofing and fine tuning the text that they agree with, negotiating any changes needed, and then they'll throw the switch.

I didn't get it out yesterday, sorry, but the initial approval contact was made this morning, with the LMO team.  Assuming we get the green light, formal CRL building will start, on the back end.

We're getting very close.  I have photos.  Some new, of course, and many are re-used from pre-existing CRLs which share the same components.

--------------------------------------------------------------
DISCUSSION:
 
The "Appearance" section allowing makeup to alter the skin may benefit from some language to specifically prohibit blackface.  Any good suggestions?
 
There's one thorny issue which has yet to be discussed. The issue is: Color.
 
Color is a bear.  Especially in a crazy color-shifting garment like this, which looks dramatically different depending on lighting.
 
That said: The term "Feldgrau" is not contained anywhere in this CRL, nor the Line Officer CRL it evolved from.  As we all know, Feldgrau is technically the actual color used.  I will not advocate it being the MAIN color referenced, because it'll confuse too many people, but it really should be referenced in there somewhere.  Currently, there is NO actual reference to color, whatsoever... other than that it all has to match.  Fuchsia is good, then? LOL
 
I've read over a BUNCH of CRLs to see how color has been handled in other areas.  Most common approach seems to put in the line regarding the tunic's fabric.
 
"The olive drab jumpsuit..." (from Daala)
"Fabric is a medium weight, field grey colored suiting material." (from Death Star NCO)
"Tunic is constructed of a medium to heavy white twill weave fabric." (from Krennic)
"Fabric is a medium weight, dark charcoal grey drill or suiting material." (from FO Hask/Lieutenant/Colonel)
"Fabric is a medium weight, dark teal suiting material exactly matching the pants." (from First Order Colonel / Major)
"Fabric is an olive colored medium weight suiting material exactly matching the pants." (from R1 Science Officer)
"Olive/grey colored fabric is a medium weight suiting material exactly matching the pants." (from Republic/Feet Officer)
 
So we've used "Olive/Grey" and "Field grey" in other costumes.
 
Wikipedia describes Feldgrau as "greenish-gray": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feldgrau
 
Possible changes to my proposed text:
 
Considering "field grey" has been used in other CRLs, I think this should be ok.  We could leave out the addition of the second line, but I feel like putting the explanation and including "olive" ties it into our original costume better... and make it less likely that an over-zealous GML will take this as an opportunity to ban CosplaySky's uniforms as being out of spec, color-wise.  (Which is... another discussion for another time)

This CRL has been submitted to the LMOs for approval.

"TK Supply Battalion" on FB do offer ISB tunics depending on fabric availability. I know multiple people who have bought costumes from them and are all very happy with the quality. Suggest you send them a message

Hey,
 
I've had a fair few folks ask me for Krennic-style badges with extra trim because of the Version 3/4 CRL photo here:

 
 
 
From the movie itself the trimming around the edges is much thinner than that (consistent with all Rogue One and Solo badges):

 
 
Most of the folks that have asked for the extra trim were going off the CRL and seeing the picture thought that it was supposed to have that extra trim on the sides.  This could confuse costumers and GMLs that don't have particular knowledge on the sources.
 
Here's a replacement picture I took of a flashback-style bar with smaller trim that could replace the image:

 
 
 

Echoing above, I would love a set, but certainly not feasible if you’re translating 40 pounds into Australian dollars. I’d end up paying about $100 AUD with shipping factored in...not feasible for me

Going to review my costs, guys (I have to get the mic tips custom printed now, and don't have a cost on that yet) but believe it or not, the paint costs more than the components! Although the paint does go further than one pair of headsets...… ;)
 

Agreed with above. Looks great but too pricey for me, 40 pound is $80 without even factoring in shipping

Halloo!
 
It has been five years since our last drive for donations to pay for Legion hosting costs. 
 
Over the past five years, we have shifted our servers to the AWS (Amazon Web Services) architecture, utilizing Cloudfront CDN, RDS databasing, Route53 DNS, and AWS Firewall security, as well as regular backups and the storage thereof. We adopted a Google GSuite account to provide a more efficient email solution that also allows us to utilize an API to allow for opt-out, expanded our domain registration account with both Amazon and GoDaddy. And not least, we have taken on six detachments (FISD, IOC, MEPD, BHG, SLD and soon-to-be SP) to be hosted under the Legion account. We push an average of 650G of traffic a month between the main site, Databank, the forums, and the hosted detachment sites.
 
Our last drive in 2015 raised funds to cover the Legion's hosting bills for the period of February 2015 through August 2020, and it was a drive for only 501st.com.
 
It is time for us to pass the bucket again - combining the drives for the Legion and six hosted detachments.
 
Our first goal is just to keep the lights on for one year for 501st.com and the six detachments, no contract, paid month to month. Our second goal would allow us to lock in a contract with some price savings for three years, while our third (stretch) goal would allow us to go beyond that as well as explore other services and/or enfolding more detachments (if they choose) under the AWS account.
 
Please make sure you are logged into the forums, and then take a moment to visit the donation page, and make a small contribution to help fund the site: https://www.501st.com/donate/
 
There you will be able to make a donation and see how we are progressing at meeting the goals for this drive. If anyone has any questions - feel free to post here, or to email us at lwm@501st.com.
 
Thanks You!
