501st approval is for the base costume, there are higher levels of accuracy which some detachments offer, on IOC there is Executor Level 2, Imperator Level 3. Guidelines can be found in the CRL's (costume reference library) http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:CRLbyname For Scanning Crewman http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:IC_imperial_scanning_crew

Thank you, for the information. gmrhodes13

Tristan, I have made hundreds if not thousands of this compad and sold hundreds if not more as well. All of these have been 501st approved. You are mistaken on your review of my work. My compad has four buttons. Two that have the circular details on them and the two other with slightly raised square details on them in order for them to stand out more with the others. It's a makers mark or what we as prop makers will call a tell tale mark. This is what we do to keep our work from falling into the hands of recasters. My buttons are configured this way, so my work doesn't get mistaken for someone else's work. This being said, it does have the four buttons that are required for it to be screen accurate. I looked at the image close up of my compad and due to the lighting, angle, and matt finish black paint they are very difficult to make out in the image he provided.

 

Thanks, DTR1

Hi Don,

 

I have now reviewed your submission against the Executor criteria.

You are met the required standards in all areas bar the compad.

Your compad should only has two "buttons" where there should be four.

The buttons appear to be missing underneath the two circles. 

Here are two screen captures of the compad, where you can see the four buttons on the crewman to the right.

 

 

Also, to improve the look, I would suggest you add stirrups to the bottom of the legs, to keep the legs nicely in the top of the boots. This is not a requirement though.

You've got a good jump suit with nice pocket placements, the belt and buckle looks spot on, and the hat and greeblie also look good.

Blacken the welts of your boots is also another suggestion, as the original Knobelbechers didn't have visible seams.

So, to summarise, change or amend your compad, and you will met the required standard.

Well done in getting this far.

 

-Tristan

What is executor status, and how is this different from 501st approval?
