I talked to him yesterday, he says his shop is set up and he is back up and running, currently working on 2-4 coats. Hopefully now that his move is done he goes back to quick turn arounds.
EDIT 11/1/2018 Under advisement from Detachment staff this CRL will be narrowed down a bit for its initial approval
Title change to Mimban Lieutenant
This will be my official thread for the creation of this proposal
This new CRL proposal would cover A Mimban Lieutenant from Solo: A Star Wars Story.
The primary basis for the CRL is Lt Borlandin, as he has the most screen time, and in better lighting than other officers who are seen briefly or in dark lighting.
Here are some general reference pictures of the Mimban Lieutenant from Solo
This will not be a CRL specific to the face character Lieutenant Borlandin to allow for further development to include other Mimban Officers, as well as to not require facial features and hairstyles exact to the named character.
only difference is it is completely unknown if they wear the back plate or not, never see it, and from screen grabs and behind the scenes images it’s impossible to tell if they are wearing one
CRL Proposal text. Much of this is from the Line Officer CRL, I will note major differences in color
REVISION 11/1/2018: under advisement from Detachment Staff. Initial CRL will be for a Mimban Lieutenant, further additions may come later as add ons to this
REVISION 11/2/2018: blaster option changed to reflect only the SE-14r and associated holster. Requirement for coat and boots to be muddy/weathered added as optional Level 2/3 requirements.
REVISION 12/18/2018: hat code disk L2/3 changed to NOT having a notch to match the current finding that R1 and Solo officers did not have notches on the hat disk.

Will weather it this afternoon and submit some completed shots
Just an update on this so no one thinks I abandoned the project:
I've finally got the armor in hand, it's assembled and just needs a third touch up coat of paint, and to be weathered.
Once I can get Tapatalk to work again (which has been down), i'll get some photos posted of the completed armor.
Still waiting on my Trench Coat. which will finish off my kit.
I'm going to be out of town after the Thanksgiving Holiday for about 3 weeks, so unless the coat comes before I leave, I won't be able to submit my final full photos for this new CRL till Mid-December
