Welcome, officer!

This is an amazing coincidence, I literally received this same blaster in the mail today, 3D printed, for my Death Trooper build, from Premier Props on etsy. The seller sent me the diagram that included the size of screws needed to hold everything together, so I'll probably do a Home Depot or Ace Hardware run over the weekend.
 
My GML said the same thing about the scope and said finding a real one would look better, so I make pick his brain on where to source one.

I have a hat from the Imperial Seamstress in the mail, will post pics!

Try heavy steam?  A steamer is super useful, else your iron's steamer may suffice.  Be careful not to use too hot an iron on Wampa's fabric, as the polyester threads are very fine and can MELT if too much heat is used.

I'm looking at Imperial Seamstress and MazCave. Just wondering if there are alternative US based makers that would work just as well, other than WampaWear.

It's a separate listing, not part of the main listing for their regular boots:

Denuo is currently running a 15% off sale right now with free domestic shipping at 50% off international shipping.

I first met the 501s on December 1st, 2018 during a local expo. During this time I have changed costumes (originally a Royal Guard), gone through something like 3 flight suits due to gaining weight during the pandemic and bought another 3 pairs of boots on a shopping spree that would end up not meeting the CRL standards.
 
But finally, on the morning of November 11th, 2023, I received my approval!

My goodness, Crow Props website has gotten even worse... I wouldn't have believe it possible.
 
He appears to have dropped the listing for the officer boots with no back zipper.  He really loves that back zipper, despite the CRL explicitly disallowing zippers other than the inside zippers.  (you know, like normal boots have). That said, their whole schtick is custom boots.  Just tell him you don't want that back zipper, or to put in a normal zipper on the inside.
 
Krennic boots have no zipper, and are good to L3 for all non-saga officers.  They're NOT good for OT officers, however, since that adjustment strap (which is present on basically all non-saga costumes) was not present on any OT costumes.
 
Basically, Gio really needs to:
 
1) Put back the listing for a no-zipper plain boot, for OT costumes and drop that back zipper nonsense.
 
2) Make a new listing for a variation of the Krennic boot with a NORMAL (not "back hided" FFS) inside the leg zipper, which would be perfect for L3 (and screen accurate) for basically all non-saga officers.

First printed prototype without any refinements except some sanding.



the center bar with silver and red on top is a little to wide. already fixed at my files. 

Sadly, no room for display of a full size costume.  Even if I did, though, I would have the same concern expressed above: Guaranteed to have issues with dust unless it's in a hermetically sealed cabinet.  And if sunlight ever hits it, fading is going to be an issue.
 
I store my tunics and trousers in black suit bags that I ironed on an HTV cog, so I can readily grab the right one in a dim closet.
 

 
For the small bits, I have small cases similar to what is shown in the video posted above.  (tho not the belt)
 

 

 
Except my belt, which I roll up and keep inside my boots in my boot bag.  Blaster and gloves go in the boot bag, too.
 

 

 
I've been considering picking up a small glove case just for my gloves, since I have several pairs now.  They make them for golfing gloves.
 
Oh, and hats: Hats go in a hat box for storage, to keep them crisp and dust-free.  JoAnn Fabrics sells these little boxes for a pretty reasonable price (especially on sale), so I have several.  They come in awful flowered prints, but that's nothing that a quick coat of paint can't fix, and then a sheet of plastic can be glued on top to be Imperialed up, too.
 

 
 

This suitcase was one of the idea I might go for. Looks practical.
 

I mistook my first pair for a wrong size, turned out they were the same as the new ones I ordered.
 
I wore my older ones in a troop event today and while not too bad, I agree, need to break them in more.  Looking into getting a boot stretcher for home use.
