To me (on my monitor), the shirt looks white or cream colored to me. But without a better picture, its really hard to say. Its possible its a light grey.
That's what I'm thinking - dunno how to word that, "light colored shirt" could lead to people trying to wear that light blue one in their closet.
-
Look good - one question, are we sure the shirt is white? Looks less than white in those photos - would like to see a comparison of a white shirt sleef just barely sticking out of an olive jacket sleeve if one of our officers could provide that?
I'm thinking the shirt may actually be grey is why i'm asking. -
So, his boots - anyone got a decent shot of them at all? I think we've established his Research Division uniform uses Black TK boots - would these be the same?

The color for the neck zone is more Green-Gray (which I have to check what is the color name of that)
Yeah, looked light blue to me, but if we can get Pablo or someone to confirm the color it'd be great.

Optional is totally fine.
I just didn't think it should be required (at any level), and that wasn't clear from the formatting of the posts above. All good, then!
Yeah, we put optional on Krennic too for Blue eyes.

The belt. Rebels belts don't actually have flat rivets. For level 2, could we add in a raised rivet?
Something like this?

Like James said , sounds to me like one of those costumes who's likely to end up in both 501st and RL , just like the Clones and a few others .
He was technically an Imperial researcher even though he worked against the Empire after Lah'mu , nobody knew .
I hope to see more people have a go at Galen's uniform soonThat said, can you help hash out the tunic? I know it's missing detail that would be helpful in explaining it, but as you saw with Krennic, the correct wording is escaping me.

Can we do a generic "Science/Engineering Officer" as well, or because we don't see anyone else with this particular uni (IIRC), we have to do Galen?
I would say this is Galen, because you don't see anyone else in it. Just like you don't have a generic "director".
The normal Death Star guys were in different outfits. -
But, will he be considered Imperial or Rebel?
Until Krennic found out otherwise, he was believed to be Imperial. That's all I would care about -if RL allows it too (like clones) good for them.
His other costume would absolutely be Imperial (flashback, not farm)

I'll note I marked him as Death Star Project, because his Research Division costume is considerably different.

Ok, taking what you put I have plugged it into a CRL form - lets work on the wording of the Tunic, other than that it looks good.

People move. A lot. Belts move, unless they're sewn (or velcro'd firmly in place).
For the same reason we specify what sort of shoulder strap should be use by TK's (at higher levels, at least), and the same reason we specify the button attachments under the Tunic flap, the waist seam should be maintained in the CRL. (IMO, at least) That's not a "wardrobe malfunction" that's just what happens when clothes are worn.
Yeah, but I disagree - as long as it's closed, I don't care what kind of hidden attachments you use. I'm one of the guys who thinks the belt hooks are a great idea but ought NOT be in the Krennic CRL when we were told by Pablo they were ONLY there because Ben wouldn't keep his thumbs out of his dang belt and kept pulling it down. There's a line between accurate film recreation and obsessive-compulsive disorder over looking like you were on set with them. If you want to make it mandatory for Level 3 OT and not for Animated, cool, I have no issues with that. But to leave it as is we lock out anyone making an Animated for going higher than Level 1.
-
You say it's clear, I say to me it looks like it could be either that or less spacing between and around the old ones.
If we're sure, fine, put it in the CRL that they can be either depending on configuration for OT or R1. That way people are covered. -
Also, if the seam is covered by the belt, how in the world would someone get denied by a GML for having one if you remove the line? Maybe denied Level 2 or 3, but I have not heard of an instance where a GML wanted separate pictured of all parts.

Earlier you were concerned that if we were not specific then GMLs may not clear anyone, if vendors make tunics with the seams and it's not in the CRL people could be rejected, the Animated CRLs wont I think have the seams mentioned
Well that's simple then. You note that the seam is optional. Covers both without having to make a separate CRL for Animated.
And the seam is there usually because of fabric, not to make it tailored. The princess seams pull the sides in, the midline seam is there so they don't have to purchase wider fabric. -

I would say not. We normally don't include costume flubs or wardrobe malfunctions in the CRL. There is a Venn between prop replication & the 501st, but they are not concentric circles.
You mean we're not supposed to make the third TK though the door slam his head?
Damnit... -
-
Only question I have is has anyone confirmed from on film staff that the larger buttons are correct?
We'd have to rewrite the button CRLs to allow them - I know I keep beating a dead horse, but I know of several GMLs who would deny admission on that bottom bar based on the current CRLs -
53 minutes ago, Thubin said:
Looking good! Just to confirm, all R1 use the 31 series buttons correct? That's what I was assuming, but I can't seem to find a definitive answer.
I don't believe we have ever confirmed that, unless Pablo broke his silence on that to someone.

The calf issue can hit anyone though, not just tall boots - took us months to find jack boot-like boots for my wife, she's got calves bigger than my arms from playing softball and then marching in ROTC.

I don't see a CRL for a Rogue One ISB Officer, only Krennic. It's still not a match. Krennic may have code cylinder pockets, but his tunic is white, not cream like the traditional ISB officer. Do you have a link for Rogue One ISB Officer CRL?

Like Kris said, it's not official yet, but don't go cutting that tunic just yet.

Hopefully my experience will help you, Matthew. I didn't mean to hijack your thread.
Unfortunately Cosplay Sky got back to me to say they are already finished with my order and suggested a local tailor alter the yoke, so I am assuming that can be done (a seamstress friend looked at the pictures and said it should be easy to do). However, I realized that in addition to the yoke, there's another difference between the Deluxe Officer as offered by Cosplay Sky and the ISB Officer - the code cylinder pocket. The Officer has them, but an ISB Officer doesn't. The CRL says so specifically. My husband thinks that can be fixed, but I don't know. I'm on the verge of emailing Cosplay Sky again and asking to just order another ISB tunic.
On the other hand, the Cosplay Sky Deluxe Officer does have the dart at the front neck and the princess seams in the back, so if you order the Deluxe Officer with a color change (and NO code cylinder pocket!) it might help the ISB Officer qualify for level two certification. The princess seams are optional for standard approval, and the dart at the front neck isn't mentioned.
That tunic is correct for Rogue One ISB, FYI.

So if you lay them out, one does not match the other anymore. However, now when you look at them on me, they look the same. The physics of 3D bodies, go figure.
Yeah. Actually a lot of people are lopsided. One side is bigger than the other - feet, hands, legs, arms, chest, etc. Not everyone, but that's why CGI still looks CGI to a lot of people - our minds can tell there's something wrong when someone is perfectly symmetrical.

We had to buy my wife a pair of motorcycle boots and cut the straps off of them - and still had to have them stretched in the calves.
Only other option we had was to go full custom.
