Angelus

*cough* I am hoping for a Krennic design *cough cough*

Interesting to see this brought up. Looking forward to an official vote/chime in period (I'm married to an Ysanne and it favor of the rank being worn either way... I think blue on top visually looks better)

Line Officer Rain Poncho was said to be Black color instead of Olive color base on some picture and info from the designer from the <<Rogue One>> movie.

Jason Womack from what I know is making the poncho and the coat too! I do make some of the ponchos at times. 

I have my olive poncho because I thought it will be matching to my Line suit. LOL and that I can wear it when I go for cons. XD

There are some pattern on how to make the Poncho if you feel like making it yourself.


For the Coat, if you are planing to make it yourself. You can try using this pattern and mode it yourself
For Officer Trenchcoat

if you somehow find this pattern, this is the closest pattern that I can find for the pattern.

Great tutorial, might have a look at doing one for the my other half and myself when we find the right fabric.

Can't wait to see the post for this year's Sinulog with a much more IOC-themes float ... the world's largest fanmade Star Destroyer.

As we have had quite a few new faces this year I thought it would be time again for all to show off their costumes and everyone can put a face to who is whom
 

I got this photo taken at one of the cons I went to last year

I would never dissuade anyone from trying to do this, but the amount of work, expertize, resources, time, and effort is vastly underestimated by the general public. Is it possible? You bet. Will it be easy? Nope. Until someone takes the genuine initiative to get the ball rolling, it's easier to place costumes under the roof of whoever is willing to be a good steward.
 
New costumes don't always match up well well with where they are placed, but with the number of new potential costumes getting pumped out from every new movie, tv show, comic, ect these days, it's getting harder just to get a costume made accurately and a CRL complete for it in a timeframe that would please everyone, much less place it under a detachment that will please everyone.  But we try.

What I feel is that this costume is more of an underworld detachment instead of IOC because of the story plot they have.

SW is such as vast universe with so many off-shoots that there has to be a compromise somewhere. We do what we do to raise money and bring smiles. The general public is less likely to be that hot on all the nuances of the comics vs the film etc. - it's more about setting the scene.

Whether we like it or not:
- Isard technically is not even canon now in the Disneyverse.
- Krennic is canon.
- Krennic is also an isb director. His rank bar is red on top.
- there needs to be continuity to set the scene

It may not be to everyone's taste (such is the nature of compromise) but I can understand the reason for it.

Apologies Kris for the detouring.

Hello Guys
 
I don't know how to do this but I want a CRL entry for my Episode 3 Fleet Officer.
 

 
 

 
 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Looking good!

And this is what the Uniform looks like in the field:
 

 
Perfect for more sophisticated occasions, like a wedding  

Hey luvs! I just wanted to make sure everyone knows I'm still watching.. I wanted to bring up some of the concerns as I see some slightly heated debate starting. 
 
The issue is (and I tend to agree) is that the reference is really blurry. 
 
Now normally we could all say "Oh we can assume" (and I do say that a lot) however of all the Detachments I oversee (5 of them) This Detachment has had the biggest "blunders and blowouts" when it came to costumes that weren't accurate and the literal fallout from it. So please understand here that the main driving force for it being stalled is not about the costume being lazy, sloppy or otherwise. Its fear that we are wrong ...again.  
Its hard to admit we are wrong and we have learned from past mistakes. 
 
Example 1: We were pressured by membership to approve the First Order General with little to no (blurry) reference. 
Blunder! The CRL is now gone and people are losing money on costumes they paid for and now cant have approved. I just had a guy post last week on the CRL thread. :/ That kills me inside.
 
 
 
 
 
Example 2: We allowed a costume accessory with little to no ref and BOOM! The entire world busted in half. 
 
Those incidents were just in the last year....
 
I am extra cautious with this Detachment (and so is the staff) for good reason. Things get heated. So please do not see their less than approving stance as anything but concern for what could happen later. <3 You guys are great and this conversation should continue. 
Anyone tried taking new/better screenshots from the film yet? 
 
Shoes are a big factor, anyone see a good shot of them?
