    Hi! 
    So there are a lot of options for the makeup; I'll give you the ones that have worked for me and that I have tried, but if you want more, please do tell.
     
    Mehron Paradise (Water base)
    - Sky blue
    -Medium blue 
    - Dark blue
     
    Pros: The color is excellent, and the shades are ideal for Rebels Thrawn; they are easy to put on and take off.
    Cons: As it is water-based, it will come out if you get wet, and you also need to be careful not to ingest this paint.
     
    Note: I would use this one for single-day events and cold weather. It is also the cheapest option listed here.
     
    Endura performance makeup (alcohol base)
    -Light Blue
    - Blue
    -White
     
    Pros: It lasts up to 4 days, and as it is an FX makeup, it will not stain as much or not at all. It can be applied by brush or airbrush.
    Cons: Taking it off is an odyssey, and if used too often, it can cause some damage to your skin, either from the time of use or the strength you need to apply to take it off.
     
    Note: This one for 3 to 4 day long events like conventions, so it is worth to put on. It is expensive and you need to create the shades of the skin with the listed tones, but it is the most resistant one I have tried.
     
    Form X Skin Illustrator (alcohol base)
    - On Ice
    -Cobalt Blue
    - Ultra blue
    -Black
     
    Pros: It lasts up to 3 days, and as it is an FX makeup, it will not stain as much. It can be applied by brush or airbrush.
    Cons: Taking it off is an odyssey, and if used too often, it can cause some damage to your skin, either from the time of use or the strength you need to apply to take it off.
     
    Note: This one for 3 to 4 day long events like conventions, so it is worth to put on. It is expensive and you need to create the shades of the skin with the listed tones.
     
    It is also noted that you will almost always stain your uniform... the only way i see is to use a hidden neck but a little would still stain on top of the collar.
     
    As for the lenses I used to get mine form Amazon, the complete red eye is and Sclera lense, but it can be uncomfortable so there's also mini scleras too.
    If you use glasses as it has happened to me eventually this won't fit well, so you would need to have some made with your eye measurements.
    Here are some options for prescription scleras:
     
    - 9SFX : Red sclera
    - Wickedeye Z  : Red sclera
     
    Hope this informations helps you and if you need anything else please don't hesitate to contact!

    Hi everyone, here is some concept art and images from the recent bad batch episode featuring the imperial techs.  They have gunner style helmets with long gloves.  The cog is missing on the helmet compared to a standard gunner and the comm box might have different buttons. The jodhpurs have pockets also.

    I know @CalaZhan AND @buckrogersbarker were talking about it a month or so ago. Where do we stand?  I think internally, we are getting a list of things to knock out, but we can't actually do anything until the LMO office gets settled in for this term.

Here is the legion forum post.  We have time for one more photo after the entire detachment -- other people use this as "buckets off"--so that will be the Firebirds.  Because these have a lot of moving parts and lots of people, it's very important to arrive on time.

    Hi! 
     
    I got mine with PhiloProps, they're 3D printed and covered with brass. They're small because they're from my size. 
     
    My previous ones where golden acrylic, it also works but they weren't thick enough so I changed them.

    Hello guys!
     
    I am planning on (re-)making a Grand Admiral Thrawn costume. I think I can manage the uniform itself (once I'm done with my Chiss one). I already have boots, cylinders, belt, holster and blaster ready. I'll order the rank bar soon and saw that iron-on vinyle was a good solution for the collar rank insignia.
    But I'm struggling with the epaulets... I made a pair in EVA foam but I'm not a fan. They look too flexible and don't really stick to the shoulders. The CRL mentions a semi-rigid to rigid material, so what did you guys used?
     
    Thanks in advance!

    CalaZhan reacted to buckrogersbarker in Questions for the current Republic Officer The Clone Wars anime CRL   
    I don't know if it can be made the way you are showing.

    It is a CG model first and foremost and there is no exact one to one interpretation to the real world with CG models because to make one of these there are additional seams so it won't look like a bag.

    The seam you are pointing at is off the shoulder.  The Thrawn animated bells are tough enough, I am not sure how this could be done.  And it is not conclusively shown to be a feature in many of the later animations through the series.

    Still if you want to make it and you can show your references and it comes out ok, we would consider adding this to the CRL as an option that can be done.

    CalaZhan reacted to buckrogersbarker in Sith Eternal Officer   
    This will be the text submitted to the LMO team.  It is the same as the previous submission last year with the exception that a single line has been removed from the Tunic section.

    The tunic has a center seam in the back, reaching the yoke.

    This line has been removed after learning the details of how the back was constructed by direct contact with LFL by the LCO.  The costume has been altered to reflect this single detail change in the above photos.  The rest stands as before.
     
    Sith Eternal Officer CRL
     
    Description: Sith Eternal / Final Order Officer
    Prefix: ID
    Detachment: Imperial Officer Corps
    Context: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
    Officers in the High Command of the Final Order, raised on the planet Exegol by the Sith Eternal—Sith cultists who revered the dark side of the Force and were devoted to the Sith religion. 
     
    Hat, Sith Officer, Black
    The front brim is a shiny black patent leather-like material. It is curved and does not obscure the wearer's eyes. The brim should attach to the hat body to present smooth curves at the sides, aligning with the back flap. The visible sides of the crown have an appearance of ribbed black leather, rubber, or similar material. Base of the hat is conical, with a crown approximately 4" (100mm) tall. Hat is roughly cone shaped with a flat crown Front and rear ‘flaps’, and top of the crown, are of a black medium weight suiting material matching the pants and tunic. Front and rear "flaps" overlap on the sides, with the back flap's ends overlapping the front's where they attach to the body of the hat. Front flap is approximately .5" to 1" (12-25mm) higher than the top of the crown, and crisp and smooth in appearance. The flap is vertical with a tilt outwards around the sides of the hat. Rear flap is vertical with a tilt outwards around the sides and back. Sith Code Disk is metal or metal appearance and is positioned at the center of the front vertical flap.  
    Tunic
    Fabric is a black, medium weight suiting, exactly matching the pants. The closure is at the center front using a zipper with concealed teeth, surrounded by visible red material approx 3-5mm wide. There is red ribbon or similar approximately 1/8" to 1/4" (3-5mm) wide, crossing the chest from each side and angling slightly down to meet in the center of the tunic, combining with the center closure to form a flattened Y shape , when worn. The sleeves are long and end at the wrist. The tunic is fitted to the body, with a shoulder yoke across the back. There is no vent in the back of the tunic. A vertical dart on each side of the front may extend up from the waist under the belt, stopping approximately mid chest, if needed to accommodate body curvature. Rank band insignia is attached on the left arm approximately 1/3 of the distance from the elbow to the wrist. A V-shaped separate chest yoke is attached to the top and front of the tunic, extending up from directly above the red lines.  It is the same fabric as the tunic, with smooth, semi-rigid construction. The Chest Yoke follows the neck curvature and extends to cover the top of the shoulders with faux epaulettes atop the shoulder, and ending at the back of the epaulettes atop the shoulder. The Chest Yoke attaches in a seamless, flush, invisible manner.  
    Level 2: The Tunic's yoke across the back shall intersect the arm-hole seams approximately 1/3 of the way down the arms, from the top. There is a seam running the entire circumference of the tunic, dividing it along a line hidden by the uniform belt.
      Level 3: There is a lining sewn in.  
    Neck Seal
    The Neck Seal shall have an appearance of ribbed black leather, rubber, or similar material. The Neck Seal is fitted to the wearer under the jacket, with horizontal ribs. The ribbed material extends from the base of the neck to just under the chin, to conceal the entire neck.  
    Chest Rank Bar
    A plain metal rectangle with radiused half-circles on the long ends, approximately 2 ½” (63.5mm) long by ⅜" (10mm) width and 1/8" (3mm) thick. Bar is attached flush to the tunic by concealed means.  
    Jodhpur Pants
    Fabric is a black, medium weight suiting, exactly matching the tunic. Flared riding breeches have semi-stiff flares in the hip/thigh area, below the tunic and above the knee. Pockets and waist belts are acceptable, if not visible with the tunic on. Flares are sharply triangular in shape and fit snugly at the knee.  
    Officer Boots, Sith Officer
    Knee-high, black, lace-less, smooth non-textured, leather or leather-like material, with moderate to high-gloss shine. There are no stretch panels, snap tabs, or decoration, other than the adjustment buckle at the top, if present. Boot seams closely match screen-used boots. Soles are flat. If zippers are present, they are on the inner part of the boot shaft only.
      Level 2: Boots have an adjustment buckle at the top  
    Belt, Sith Officer
    The belt is constructed from a rubber or rubber like material with horizontal ribbing. Belt is approximately 2.5" to 3" (63.5-76.2mm) in width, and should match the height of the belt buckle. There are no loops on the belt. Belt fits snugly over the natural waist of the wearer, covering the horizontal tunic seam, if present. The buckle is constructed from metal, or metal looking material. The buckle size is approximately 2 5/8" (66.7 mm) high and 4 1/8" (104.5 mm) wide with rounded corners. Sith Code Disk is metal or metal appearance and is positioned at the center of the buckle.
      Level 2: Buckle has a satin finish, not brushed Corners are more rounded than Imperial Officer buckles from the original trilogy  
    Gloves, Sith Officer, Black
    Gloves are constructed of a non-textured, black leather or leather-like material. Gloves are have enclosed fingers, are fitted, and worn underneath the sleeves. Gloves are long enough to cover the wrist entirely. No visible buckles, straps, or ornamentation. Gloves may be plain or have three lines of stitching on the back of the hand.
      Level 2: Gloves have three lines of stitching on the back of the hand.  
    Rank Insignia Band, Sith Officer
    Worn on the left side of arm, above the wrist and below the elbow, approx 1/3 of the distance from the elbow to the wrist. Rank consists of one black band sewn down to the sleeve with raised red Aurebesh writing on it. The edges utilize piping or an embroidered line on each side. For the Captain rank, the Aurebesh spells “STELS". Additional rank options and corresponding Aurebesh shall be added as discovered from licensed sources. Both piping (if used) and embroidery (Aurabesh and lines) are red in color, close in color to the red used on the tunic stripes.

    How does this process of contacting the LMO office about this start?  How can I talk to someone in real time over voice about it.

    The idea of the Chiss Ascendency starting off as a subdivision of the Imperial Officers Corps makes logical sense, but in time wouldn't it end up being it's own thing were it to grow in number?

    I feel like I have too many questions and I can't get them answered quickly enough via text communication.  How do I speak to someone about the questions in person/over voice?  I want to more efficiently understand procedure, quickly, by talking shop as it were.

I have six approved 501st costumes, four in the Rebel Legion and I have three unfinished 501st costumes that are waiting for the right weather or parts. I have been sewing since I was 19 and love sharing that acquired knowledge with others.

    What is an LMO? 
    The Legion Membership Team is responsible for reviewing and processing applications for membership, and maintaining and updating member information in the Legion database. The Legion Membership Officers drives costume policies, including acceptable costume types for membership and setting standards for costume submissions, and are the final arbiter of member costume issues and approvals. The Legion Membership Officer supervises and advises Detachments, Garrison Membership Liaisons, and Garrison Web Liaisons on any questions or issues they may have with member’s costumes. Have a question about membership these are the folks to talk to!  
     
    There are LMOs you can contact at any time at Legion Officers however Shaun and I are the ones who are assigned to the Imperial Officer Corps this term.
