    That for example is one of the reasons Im pushing for only modified or no chalk holder's and push button bar's we need to up our game and be uniform 

     

    I have no issue on the dosimeters, we have multiple people making them now.  The rank bars I'm going to have to go back and agree with something BJ said - when there's vendors making accurate ones that we can send people to (much like we send a LOT of people to Tigg), I'll stand right next to you on that.  If our only argument though is "they're easy to make yourself" - no, sorry, I can't support that, because what's easy to you may not be to others, or they don't have the time, or the space, or the extra money for the tools required (you can't cut and shape aluminum bars with scissors.)

    Forgive me is I misunderstand, but it feels like you're saying two different things.  We shouldn't be talking about Level 1 because everyone should aim for L2/L3, but we need to target was will be Level 1 in the future?  If we don't feel that L1 is "good enough" and people should target higher, why do we have L1 in the first place?

    And, let's be honest.  for every person that sees an imperator or executor and wants that high of detail, there's people who just want to look like the character and have fun with kids who wouldn't know a L1 from a L2.  Everyone does this for different reasons - and when we start talking about making it harder to get approval, all I can hear is those people claiming we're "elitists" - and I BLOODY hate that.

    The line on the back side of the yoke - it is a single line of topstitching (not a seam) that goes from the collar straight to the stitching on the side panel's back seam - it probably even is a continuous line of stitching from yoke onto the cape seam.

     

    Oh damn, nice catch, I didn't even see that. :)

    CS standard height. Way to short for me.

     

    And I think they moved the pockets. Taking a second look and they may not have.

     

    Damn.  And if the pockets line up with the bottom of the dart, they didn't.

     

    Try contacting them, ask them why they didn't change it

    Just got my new tunic from CA. Pockets were raised as per request. Collar was not, but is stiffened.

    What's the height on your collar?

     

    And I was afraid of that - Ripping the collar out and making a new one might be harder than we want to believe - I'm following another threat on how to modify the pattern, I may try to make my own.

    If anyone buys anything before a CRL goes live that unfortunately is the risk they take and i will continue to push for buttons on all those that had them in the movies there is no excuse not to now 

     

    Then let's take out the top line and make it clear.  Pretty simple.  Tigg can let her customers know that Krennic can't be approved with her badges.

    Push buttons are plastic tiles James i think you are just nick picking now I also dont recall the LMO taking part in the discussion in the main thread and as stated many times its him that makes the decision based on what is presented to him

     

    Hardly nit picking sir, people are buying Tigg's rank bars, and if this is the case then they're useless.  I would say either move the push buttons to Level 2 or remove the first line so there's no confusion - while I don't want to take business away from Tigg, I also don't want to see people spend money and find it wasted.

     

    If that's nit picking then yeah, I'll pick those nits.

    James clearing at Level 3 is just as valid as level one more so in fact and if anyone that has a GML that is not sure then direct them to ask 

     

    Well, i'll say I wish you had been in admin on Clone side - because one of my friends had to redo her holsters on her clone because Level 1 said on a strap, Level 2 said no strap, magnetic attachment, she went that way because it looked better, and was refused entry until she put the bloody strap on.

    One more small thing that I noticed because of someone else's question.

     

    Quote

    Rank Bar
    For 501st approval:

    • See the Imperial Rank Bar page for more information.
    • Worn on the left side of the tunic over the heart.
    • Rank consists of colored plastic push buttons mounted on a metal bar.

     

    So the very first line says to see the Rank Bar Page - which states:

     

    Quote
    • Accurate Rank Bars consist of colored plastic tiles mounted on metal backing.
    • Rank tiles are translucent.
    • The color, quantity, and arrangement of the tiles is determined by rank, and is appropriate to the uniform. 

     

    Yet the third line contradicts that. and specifies push buttons.  I thought the decision in the main thread came to Push buttons would be Level 2, as there were not yet any vendors that made them yet inside IOC and/or 501st forums (yes, I know there's the german one on FB and another one, but they're not here)?  I know BJ wanted standardization across the board - are we going to revise all Rank bar requirements so the Plexi isn't allowed anywhere?

    James it does match the CRl look at Level 3 requirements 

     

    I see that, but I know a LOT of GMLs (and yeah, I'll call one of Star's out on this because of an issue on a clone) that don't give 3 flips about Level 2 or Level 3, if it doesn't match Level 1 is isn't cleared.

     

    I know we had this discussion before, but I've heard way too many stories just in the last year of GMLs that use the CRL exacts as a great pass/fail, not paying attention to making it more screen accurate.

    Proposed Update Imperial Security Bureau Officer

    CRL: Imperial Security Bureau Officer

    Section: Officer Tunic, Cream

    Page 147 of the Rogue One Visual Guide states that Inspector General Bozeden Jeems is ISB.  He wears the same tunic as Director Krennic - so add that as an option.

    Quote
    Officer Tunic, Cream (ANH)
    For 501st approval:
    • Fabric should be a medium weight, ecru/cream colored suiting material. Gabardine style weave is most accurate.
    • Tunic is double-breasted with a left over right closure on the tapered yoke.
    • Yoke comes straight across from the collar center not coming up to the shoulder seam.
    • The standing collar has square corners and is about 1.25" (31.8 mm) tall and closes snugly and includes a modesty panel.
    • Sleeves are long, and without decoration, cuffs or buttons, containing 2 seams, one along the bottom and one along the back.
    • The ISB uniform shall not have the standard code cylinder pockets.
    • Princess seams shall be optional for ISB tunics. 

     

    For level two certification (if applicable):
    • There is a dart of about 2" (50.8 mm) in the top center of the yoke.
    • There is a seam running the entire circumference of the tunic, dividing it along a line hidden by the uniform belt.
    • The back of the tunic has princess seams that run vertically and turn outward to intersect the arm-hole seam at the vertical center.

     

    For level three certification (if applicable):
    • Tunic must be secured on the right side by snaps or buttons, not Velcro. There is no topstitching visible anywhere and it must have a lining sewn in

     

    Alternatively:

    Tunic, White
    For 501st approval:

    • Fabric is a medium weight suiting material.

      • Overdyed wool twill Gabardine style weave is most accurate.

    • Tunic is double-breasted with a left over right closure on the tapered yoke.

    • Yoke comes up across the shoulder to the top shoulder seam.

    • The standing collar has square corners and is about 1.25" (31.8 mm) tall.

      • Collar closes snugly and includes a modesty panel behind closure.

      • Collar edges are closed with two eye hooks.

    • There are code cylinder pockets on both outside panels of the jacket from about half way between the top and bottom on the arm hole.

    • Sleeves are long, and without decoration, cuffs or buttons.

    • Sleeves contain 2 seams.

      • One along the bottom and one along the back.

    • Tunic is constructed with no top-stitching (stitches visible on the exterior surface of fabric)

    • Hook and eye fasteners on the uniform should not be visible.

    Per Kris

    Stepping away from Krennic for a moment, thank you Mark for making this happen.

    This'll be a brain dump, I can crack this into separate threads if need be. EDIT: Cracked into 3 threads

     

    CRL: Staff Officer: Black

    Rename to Staff Officer: Rogue One.  Update Photo with a "correct" rank bar configuration (using the same model if possible, just one of the ranks from RO).
    Begin Creation of a Staff Officer: ANH.  There is a thread floating around SOMEWHERE here with lots of details - while no one has made a completely screen accurate tunic, I know several people intend to try soon (Kris is one I believe)

     

    Also, on 123 of the VG, there is a crewman in a greyish uniform (not the blue of the Mechanical Crew, but not the black of bridge Crew).  Might be something to look into.  Also would love to see Galen's uniform and the Death Star Engineers made - Galen might have ended up being a "good guy" but to the Empire he was considered one of ours. :)

    I know this has come up before but I want to confirm now that we have a CRL and updates to it are being discussed. Can a rank bar from Tiggie as I have below be approved for level 1:

    77c0a312ccd4abdf5a58d1699c31511e.jpg

    The push button distinction seems very minor to me at level 1, but if that's the absolute decision then I would like to know as I'll need to find another one. Thanks!

    Simple answer, yes.  The Rank bars may be changed across the board at some future time, but for now they kept the same wording and referenced the same information as all other CRLs
