That's how I'd always understood it, too, but I guess we should never underestimate the costumer's decision to grab whatever they had on set!

I have the book, if I remember correctly there is images of a full rotation, but they're not huge or overly detailed/clear.
If/When I remember I'll take and post some pictures if someone else doesn't get to it first. 

We'd not a lot more detail, though. The back, especially.
 
Keep in mind we can't just "extrapolate", even if it makes sense. And this seems different enough to animated kallus that we couldn't assume it's the same even if that were the general policy (which it isn't).

Greetings lantern2745, what do you mean with "black edges"? Here it appesrs to have brown edges.

And in this picture it looks like to have grooves

I am somewhat confused
Thanks for the help!

Such a shame it was not used
 

Depending on the hat accuracy, I'm tempted to get the jodhpurs and hatt to upgrade the uniform parts of my Mimban Officer. I'd feel a little better about muddying those up over something more expensive, but they're at least closer to the right color than the CPS stuff I current have.

There's a thread here: 
But nothing is ever "100% 501st ready" and in the case of these, unless you happen to be the ideal size for these, they'll need tailoring.

My original contention that he belongs to IOC because he didn't really fly a TIE other than as a means of transport went out the window this morning.
 
That said, he used to be ISB, so that's still our wheelhouse.

I can say from experience , plastic manufacturing takes 3 to 4 weeks max from when you pay for it. Gotta order 4 weeks before you need it. Very simple.

I have some plastic on the way as well, but I never let myself run out.

You can usually find equestrian boots on eBay and Etsy for a reasonable price, the trick is condition and fit. The other option is going custom with Mux (my preference) or Hessian Antiques.

I was  honored by my Garrison by receiving Trooper of the Year . 
I've been trooping in My Governor Pryce and Last weekend at our Annual Holiday party they presented me with this honor. 
I just pasted my 125th troop in my Pryce on Sat. Its been one incredible ride and I just love being with this amazing family. 
 

 

 
 

Thanks, this isn't my first rodeo with all this CRL stuff 

Let's start with the question of why Pryce gets one. Simply put her uniform is 100% different. Animated uniforms in general are 100% different from the movies.
I can't just wear my normal green suit and say "I'm Kassius Konstantine", the rank bars and code cylinders are different shapes, the boots aren't perfect matches, the collars have those black marks on them, the hat disks and belts are totally different. There's nothing I can use from my movie uniform and have it be approved as an animated officer.
 
What's different between Veers, Piett and Needa? Number of code cylinders and rank bar tiles. "But Ozzel has a mustache!" He sure does, but his uniform and accessories are exactly the same as every other officer in the original trilogy. "But Motti and Tagge don't wear hats!" You're right, we don't see them wearing hats and many others in A New Hope are hat-less. But the uniforms and accessories themselves are the same as all the others. "But Tarkin gets his own CRL!" You're right, he does, and about 95% of his uniform is exactly the same as all the others. But he has the dress shirt under his uniform and a very specific hair style and facial features. Admittedly that doesn't really seem like enough to warrant a whole separate CRL, but if I go troop an event as Veers, and halfway through I decide to change up my code cylinders and rank bar and walk back out as Piett that's a 5 second change. If I start an event as Tarkin and want to change to Jerjerrod I'd have to wash my hair, clean off my old man makeup, take off the dress shirt under my tunic, add a hat and change up all the other accessories. Not as simple/quick.
 
But for arguments sake lets say the Detachment Leader decides to publish a Veers CRL. Great. Now people want Motti, and Tagge, and Piett both admiral and captain, and Khurgee... the list is endless and all we're doing between those CRLs is changing accessories, facial hair, and hair styles. That's just a nightmare for the detachment staff, LMO team, and webteam. 
 
My proposed counter idea would be to have character specific galleries in the CRL similar to the TIE Pilot helmet detail examples - https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TI_TIE_Pilot_Helmet-detail
Similar idea, just list named officers and show an image of their accessories and a small text description example: General Veers - X# of code cylinders in X style, rank bar is X rows with X red tiles and X blue tiles

I understand the want to be an officially approved Veers vs. just a line officer, but there's nothing stopping any of us at a troop saying, "Hi, I'm General Veers" when talking to fans.

It never fails, at least once a year a new, "Why can't Veers have his own CRL" thread is started.

My Galactic Academy officers threw a party for me.

Because its top notch!

Lost Stars has quite a lot of references to the two principles (who are officers, and TIE pilots primarily) working shifts as bridge grew and even naval troopers, iirc.

Because its top notch!

My guess is, in the film/script, he was just a competent officer. But because of the armor, and the fascistic look of the Empire, later authors took that and ran with it, working bits of Rommel's real life into Veers' character history.

Robert has it.  The original script didn't have any specific historical inspiration.  He was just an officer doing his job (well, much to the dismay of the Rebels).
 
Books (written much, much later) made up entire back stories for darned near every character you seen on screen, and it's entirely possible that one or more of those authors used historical figures as inspiration.  The extensive ret-conning of facts and dates got pretty intricate, and people wanting to go in new directions were feeling hemmed in, creatively, which is one of the main reasons they decided to reboot the whole thing and dump all the books as "Legends", declaring the whole mess no longer Canon.  There's a rich source of stories in there, of course, so it's nice when someone dips into those no-longer-Canon sources and bring aspects back into the Canon realm.  (Thrawn, for instance... and I still have hope for Mara Jade!)

I'd say the bias tape used on the hat's edging looks a bit wide (should be about 2/3 or 1/2 that width), and there are not enough lines of stitching on the bill (I see 4, and the CRL calls for 5-7... and 7 is most common, the others are exceptions so they're technically allowed).  But otherwise this looks quite good!   I'd say the code cylinder pockets could stand to be a smidge higher, but unless you were planning to remake it anyway, I wouldn't bother changing that.
 
Note that we need to see it ON you, to be sure that it fits correctly.  This is why there are no "501st approved vendors" because if an off-the-rack (or even custom!) garment fits the member poorly, it doesn't matter how well it was made, it won't pass.  Things like the skirt being too short or too long, etc don't show up on a hanger.

Because its top notch!
