    ISB Non Saga/ Imperial Military Officer Power 5 Updates

    in CRL Updates

    Posted

    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.

    Andor Black Poncho for non saga Security and Military Officers.

    More good news: since the R1 and Andor Ponchos are pretty close (they are both black ponchos), both R1 and Andor Ponchos are permissible with either Security or Military officers. Previously we only saw Security officers with both R1 and Andor ponchos, and we only saw the military in black Andor ponchos.  It simply makes sense to allow the R1 version since they already can wear a black poncho anyways. Close enough for plastic spacemen and great at world building.

    Proof positive that if you want feedback, post something wrong. LOL

    Also interesting to note that the Rogue One Poncho entry also does not mention the split.

     

    I have fixed BOTH of these, using the Krennic language:

     

    {{CRLtemplate-nolevels|File:andor_poncho.png|Rain Poncho, Andor Version|
    *Made of a black waxed cotton, or similar fabric.
    *Top stitching thread is dark gray and visibly contrasts with poncho fabric.
    *The closure is located at the costumer's right side. The collar overlaps and the opening is approximately 2.5 inches on the shoulder, going down at an approximate 45 degree angle to the bottom right of the yoke.
    *The front yoke has a slight point at center front, is flush against the costumer and has a seam down the front center which is top stitched on either side.
    *The back yoke is flat, not pointed like the front yoke, and also lays flush against the costumer's back.
    **A slit is present in the center back that begins somewhere between the costumer's crotch area and just above the knee.
    *With the exception of the bottom, the poncho has approximately 1 inch hems around all edges, which are top stitched at the edge of the hem facing as well as very close to the outside edge of the poncho.
    **The bottom edge of the poncho has a hem of approximately 3 inches.
    *There is a seam at the center back of the cape part of the poncho, which is top stitched on both sides.
    *The collar is approximately 3 inches tall at the front and is top stitched with lines approximately every 1/4 - 3/8 inch.
    *The front of the poncho has a panel attached to the yoke but separate from the plastron (the sides).
    **This panel extends down to just past the crotch area and is tucked in to the costumer's belt. The bottom edge of the panel is very slightly curved.
    **This panel has three lines of top stitching running parallel to the edge on both sides.
    *Extensive top stitching is present throughout the poncho and closely matches references.|}}

    Josh, I was asking because there is "waxed canvas" that is ready to use, but I think that the cotton is not waxed and you have to do it. Is that correct?.

    If the "waxed canvas" is ok, seems that will be easier to make.

    What do you think?

    thanks

     

    I think as long as it looks like it does on screen, you will be good. Check in with your GML first, though since they will be the one approving it.

    I think it could be helpful if you guys could tell me if my proposalsfor this costume from my first post in this thread from march 1st. would be okay or require some changes.

    I've already listed my ideas for this CRL, because there are some deviations compared to the republic officer from season 1-6.

    I also need to know wich fabric (please look at the photos above) I should use.

     

    I will take good look at all of this, and give it the attention it deserves once I return the week after next.

    I just saw Sheev's Emporium is making white and green ponchos now.

    We have not seen white or green andor style ponchos on screen, so those won't be approvable.

    I'm not sure why they did a green one since Lt Gorn in his green uniform, wears a black poncho. 

    Maybe they are for bounders, but don't want people to say "oh yeah, this guy sells 501st approved ponchos" and then someone orders a green one that they can't get approved.

    Some of the suggestions, I'm not sure about. Like the dart on the cape. Translating something like from anime to live action makes sense to have a dart there. One of the reference pictures actually gives the impression of a dart there, so maybe the missed that. 

    Some of the other things like pocket not being visible may just be a fitting issue because I can clearly see it in some of your pictures above.
