    Taking it one step at a time

    in Costume Questions - Ask Here!

    Posted

    Welcome Julie!

     

    Looks like you've already gotten some great advice here, I'll add my own story of when I first joined. The first costume I was approved with was a Warrant Officer, later upgraded to also be a Staff Officer, I've since retired that costume and sold it because I never really loved it, I just did it because it was easy. I wouldn't recommend going for what's just easy to do and focus on what you're actually passionate about, you'll enjoy trooping in it more that way :)

     

    All that said there's nothing wrong with going with something easier for the fist costume and saving up and gaining info for a bigger harder build all while having something to go out and have fun in. I know my advise might seem a bit contradictory, it's because there's no right answer here, it's all about what you want to do.

     

    What part of PA are you in? I'm in Pittsburgh. There are plenty of members all over the state with IOC knowledge whether you're in Western PA, Starkiller Garrison, or Eastern PA, Garrison Carida, there's local members to you willing and able to help you out.

    Someone on the legion boards posted this quote about them from the visual dictionary, "The CBPD was notoriously corrupt. Every law and regulation in the city was negotiable, depending on the wealth of the suspect or the accuser. As such, the CBPD was both a byproduct and aide in the city's tiered society, with the wealthiest having the greatest sense of security and immediate access to justice—a flexible concept in Canto Bight."

     

    So with that description is does sound like Underworld would be a good home for them.

    Cool looking costume, I wish you all the best making it happen Tomtrooper, and BJ great work as always making a cool looking costume.

     

    Morti makes a good point that it's not going to help much if build threads are made here and it ends up not being an IOC costume. 

     

    Kris also brings up a good point that this isn't a military uniform for the Republic, Empire, or First Order. But it is a recognized authority figure on that planet, same as if someone wanted to do The Clone Wars Corusant Police, Tan Divo, or Tam Posla (his uniform is a Milvayne lawman, but with his actions in the Doctor Aphra comic he himself would/could fall into the Underworld or possibly Bounty Hunters Guild). So taking away what detachments it wouldn't belong to (definitely not ACD, BF, BHG, CTD, FISD, FE, IGC, JRS, KC, MEPD, PF, SL, SP, so SO) it doesn't leave a whole lot of other options.

     

    Since we're so close to elections this costume will probably be the next staff's choice.

    I'll add Wolfe paints to the external links list! 

    I feel you, I'm so impatient and budgeting for this costume is a test of wills...I want to do it all now!! :56pullhair:

    Disclaimer on Wolfe, though I've never had an issue with them, I've been told that others have had problems with breaking out after using it.

    For me, it goes on very easily, comes over very easily, the only spots where I have any wipe off is on my lips and a little around my eyes.

    I'll find some pictures of the various costumes I've done using their paint and post them (one is from a different Star franchise...)

    Moff Panaka CRL

    A while back I tried to get a "generic moff" CRL approved, the idea was shot down as just being the same as a Line Officer.

    I also tried to get a Jagged Fel CRL approved, there's just as much official art of him as there is Daala. I was pretty much told that if I would have tried to do Fel 10 years ago I'd have a chance, but not now.

     

    The argument comes back up about once a year of why we, the IOC, don't do CRLs of specific characters.

    Our list of CRLs is already quite long and insane could you image if Veers, Panka, Piett, Needa, etc. all got their own separate CRLs :lol:

     

    Personally I would love it if we could in fact have a gallery in the CRL of "approved face character options" or something similar. "To be Veers you must have..." etc.

    That's pretty much what the level 2 and 3 stuff is for. 

     

    I know none of this is the happy answer you wanted, but a story showing that I totally understand what you're going for and dealing with. Best hope you have is that your GML is cool and will understand that CRLs aren't made based on individual characters but trooping in a cannon configuration is encouraged.
