  1. As a GML a member of my Garrison submitted a light brown coloured holster for clearance with their Staff Officer. I am not aware of any light brown holsters being used in the original trilogy, and I have spent a lot of time studying the Officer uniforms. 

    I believe a simple change to the CRL to clarify the colour of the holster would aid costumers, and suppliers to have more accurate holsters.

    Picky I know, but people will use any loop hole to justify inaccurate costume choices.

    Thanks

  2. Liam,

    That's a great looking uniform you have there.

     

    The colour does look a little more brown than I would expect, it should be more of the green side of olive. But I feel you've done such a great job and it does look olive in the indoor photo's I'm prepared to 'go with it'.

     

    The popper on your belt appears to be too fair aware from the buckle, this is the sort of thing you should be aiming for:

    The cap looks good, but it should sit a little further back on your head, at an angle.

    So a couple of minor dressing things, and probably a new belt - you're not going to be able to move the popper without leaving a mark, and we should be good to go.

  3. Dallas,

    Essentially the Executor program uses the level 2 requirements as a base, ensures the uniform is a nice fit, and accessories are to a good standard. It's an optional program that allows members to showcase their uniform which is a cut above the base clearance requirements, showing an increased attention to detail. Imperator takes this a step further, encouraging members to emulate what's seen on the screen to a higher level.

    Don,

    We, the command staff, have reviewed the compad and whilst it is up to a good standard, the accuracy is not up to the level we require for the Executor program. The compad shown should have 4 rectangular buttons along the edge. The compad in this submission may have four buttons, but two of them are circular and not rectangular. Sadly at this level we do not believe it is accurate enough.

    We would also encourage people to paint their compad to match the configuration seen in the film. For Imperator level, we would encourage people to consider ABS vac formed compads as they were what was used in the film. The detail on resin and 3D printed compads is too sharp.

     

    We believe all of the compads have the same design, only their paint schemes differ. Here is a clear example of a screen used ANH Xwing pilot compad. You can see the four rectangular buttons, and the softer details.

  4. The officer in that picture is Alan Flyng, he had a unique code cylinder. Which is different to the others, and is a one off. I know this as fact through speaking to him, and the fact he still has it ;) As a GML I wouldn't allow this it's a non standard Line Officer. At base clearance we're looking for the standard not the exception.

  5. Normally I'd agree with the ease things in slowly approach. When the CRL was written the information was good with the knowledge we had to hand at the time, now we know different. I'd say it's more confusing to ease the change in, just do it. As a GML I'd say use a degree of common sense and be flexible with people who had started costumes before the changes were made.

  6. As the current Deployment Officer, and the person who wrote the ANH costume configuration post. I thought I'd best weigh in here, even though I'm a little late - Deployment Officer duties keep me extremely busy.

     

    When I originally drew up the list of Officer configurations I used a number of additional sources to fill the gaps where the details weren't seen in the film. There were references which showed Praji with gloves, holster and blaster, but not from canon sources. After someone questioned how do we know if he a blaster when we couldn't see it on screen, I changed these details to be optional.

     

    This is where the confusion has arisen, once they were listed as 'mandatory', now they are listed as 'optional'. Basically, at Imperator level we are looking for you to produce as an accurate and authentic costume as you can. We also love people who discover details we have never noticed, and we really like people who put the time in and research the uniform, and understand the subtle nuances.
