I know there was some talk about standardizing the compads at the LMO level. We will need to get with them after elections and see if the gunners and JRS can agree on the pad.
@buckrogersbarker can you move this to completed CRLs?
it already is. And we do want to continue that conversation to bring the three detachments in line.
We can start with the other items though. -
@Detaleader Wait I see them in the other thread. Pull them over here and match them with each of the changes you are listing.

@Detaleader these are things we can look into. Do you have photos for each of your points?
So far with every change we have requested with the LMO office in the previous two years they have requested the evidence to move forward with the changes.- BHAsajj and Detaleader

Good to see you Simon.
Now that you are cleared, you can do two things.
One:
Join the officer's mess here.

Two:
You can get full IOC access which I am granting you right now. -
@chicken45 I know you have gotten some of these from Ezra. they are not that different from the one that Thrawn has.

The real world uniform in the photo above is from Revenge of the Sith. There are several photos of members with different ranks in the book Costuming A Galaxy.
I am not going to tell you how to do it or where to place the seams. I could bring in several tailors to work with you to discuss it if you want. This is the major issue with animated uniforms. All these seams really break down the pattern into smaller parts. If sized correctly the parts will make the uniform conform to your body in a fit manner. That is how a well tailored uniform or suit is made. They don't have this issue in animation because it is just an animation. In the real world, without all of these seams, most cloth would look like a bag hanging off of a person.
That is why "darts" are used. Darts are tucks sewed in uniforms to pull it in at the waist. Not ever uniform has the, but they are seen in references of some officers.
That said, you do NOT have to follow the examples set by other animated CRLs.
Bring your references and when you inevitably have to make a decision you can't find on the model, let us know. If it is a tailoring issue we will likely let it pass. Because that is the reality of how translating animation to real life works. Make your decisions and stick to your references as best you can and let us see what you are doing.
But FIRST. Put all of your references here. Once we have enough, let me know and I'll have the LMOs come in to bless this to proceed. Then it is just a matter of you making the costume and we helping to write the CRL. -
I think it is because the models vary over the stretch of 13 years and the animation is so simplistic at the start, it doesn't reflect real world tailoring, but more what their computers could render at the time.
That means it varies wildly and greatly. There are no clearly defined seams in the early animations of 2008.
Only the clone medic has been made in the past two years. Everything else was made long ago but with these caveats:
1. As long as you can point to a licensed reference, we will back you.2. Always keep in mind that all of the animations, while differing year to year have a real world model they are trying to emulate.
And that real world model is this:
Now if you think some of the other CRLs are not correct, this is not the place to discuss that. Create a thread in the "CRL Updates" area and we will look at what you show.

we are going to do all we can to make contact and develop a relationship with the costume makers. Maybe get a pantone number. The exact color should not be a level 1 because people find different fabrics in all parts of the world. We would lose maybe 60% of the currently approved line officers if we instituted anything so rigid (the cosplay skys are a very lime green).
We are reaching out now to see if we can make contact with them. -
locking it for now

@kman I think the issue with the boots is the center seam. What do you think?
I'll leave you to comment on the gloves. -
I have never seen WhimsyCosPlay. Can you give us a link to check it out?
We can run a list on where you can get the rest with where there are closer sources to your geographical location.
Good to meet you Tracy.

My general thoughts on levels 1 through 3 are that 1 should be accessible for those that want to do the costume. With higher levels something that can be worked on over years if they want to keep striving to get that level of accuracy.
There has been a lot of pulling level 3 details down to level 1 over the years in the legion. This does more to dissuade people from joining. I am a firm believer that costume excellence should be incentivized, not gatekept.
I also suggest looking at the CRLs for the other similar uniforms: Imperial Military Non-saga, Security Services Non Saga, and the ISB Non Saga to see where we place what is level 2 and level 3. We are not bound by precedent, but we try to keep these ships flying in formation with one another. -
I remember there was some updating to the Rogue One TIE Pilot over the Comm pad used. Gunners refused to update the comm pad. Thank you for the catch @1010nguyens. We'll definitely look into it.
-
As this is a generic and is a specific character, I am ok with getting more specific. I would hope to keep such specificity to higher levels (2 or 3) to not create a barrier for those that want to do this while allowing the highest costume standard possible.
Excellent job showing your work there. You showed your sources.- plaidvader and chicken45

I tried to see if we could have this made here, but that was granted to the Spec Ops detachment. If you want to be a part of a build, please go there.
-
just received word minutes ago that the LMO has approved this costume to move forward. We look forward to the constructions we see here.

I am just glad they are tied to the officers in the black.
-
they are very close... and I dare say from the same manufacturer.

Our original intention was to freeze the OT CRLs into carbonite. They had a history of being idealized to some degree. Yes, there is no evidence of a modesty tab for the collar but this was a guarded detail going back for years.
With that in mind we created the non saga CRLs. Yes, the main difference is the smaller belt boxes, the lack of notch in the greeble and the silver clips for the code cylinders. But there is also a much wider ability to configure. Boots run the full gambit from the traditional English riding boots with no zippers, to boots with inner shaft zippers and even V notches in the back of the shaft.
If you can show it, we will incorporate it into the CRL. Doing so we kind of split the baby that did not want liberalized OT CRLs while at the same time providing the full range of options for the CRLs reflecting the new productions. -
Anovos are not scaled very well for height. The larger sizes allows for bigger people... but if you are tall you will be in trouble.
Still it is a very well made costume, even the Denuo Novo ones

Good to see you Rob. Not sure if you are a member of the officer's mess, but we often link to bigger things here so you won't miss them in the forums.
