Excellent!!  Congratulations!!

Almost forgot to post this.  After some issues needing to be resolved I been sitting on the uniform since November. Got permission to bring to a local convention to get help with the pictures. Also helped that the approval officer for my garrison was there.

Having this costume, now so makes me want to make Thrawn later.

Congratulations  
 
I hope to get my approval shortly myself.

IF you have seen a medical professional who has evaluated your eyes, and you're approved BY THEM for contact lenses, a red iris-changing lens sold by a reputable company and medically approved could be worn.
 
DO NOT wear Sclera lenses.  They can damage your eyes to the point of loss, and quickly at that, if improperly fitting or bad reaction to them.  It's not worth the risk.
 
My advice; photoshop your eyes in pictures in costume.  Everyone in person will know you're Thrawn, and you don't risk your safety.

There seem to be two main variations of the Power 5 blaster: the ANH version and the Andor version. We would like to allow both for the ISB Non Saga CRL.
The differences: The ANH version has the coiled wire, while the Andor version has the straight wire. The ANH grip is seen to be brown or black, while the Andor version is black. The ANH cooling module seems to be black with heavy silver weathering, while the Andor version is actually silver. I looked outside the IOC to find precedent and I found that the FISD did something similar with the Rogue One TK. They allow ANH E-11 blasters for basic approval, but specifically state that in L2 and L3, power cylinders must not be ANH style, but R1 style.    Therefore: we propose changing the ISB Non Saga Power 5 entry as follows:
 MerrSonn Power5 Blaster Scratch built or high-end prop replica based on a Mauser C96, M712, or M617. Grip can be wood tone, from brown to black. NEW ADDITION OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): The wire on the top is straight, not coiled. CHANGED FROM BLACK TEXT TO BLUE The ribs of the cooling module are black with very heavy silver weathering to the point where it looks almost all silver.  CHANGED FROM BLACK TEXT TO BLUE Grip can be black or very dark brown. NEW ADDITION   We would also like to clean up the holster language to align with other holsters better. We would update this holster entry for Dedra Meero , too. JUST the holster, mind you.   Merr Sonn Power5 Holster Holster is black in color. CHANGE TO Made of black leather or leather-like material. Outer circumference of the holster is curved around the basic shape of the blaster. Holster has a form-fitting contour around the blaster itself, CHANGE TO Holster has a cutout for the blaster's “cooling module.” Holster has one belt loop that is integrated into the holster body. A safety strap that secures the blaster in the holster is present. NEW Holster is open at the bottom and allows the muzzle to slightly protrude. Holster is not present if no weapon is carried with the costume. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Holster is made of leather.
