Stare at these boxes long enough and the difference is quite clear.
 
Many of the costumes have gone on tour and been photographed extensively.
 
Go ahead and watch the movie again and see if you can capture evidence to the contrary.  I've done so... carefully... and not seen a single one that looked like it could be resin.  The proof is there on screen.  Please feel free to try again yourself... there aren't actually that many scenes with officers, and only a handful of officers even wear belt boxes.  They're just not there, on screen.  I just watched it again tonight, in 4K UHD, on a calibrated 85" screen, specifically looking for belt boxes the whole time, to be sure.
 
Now, to your point: Is there any way to SWEAR there isn't a single out-of-focus background character wearing a resin one?  Of course not.  And it's pretty darned hard to prove a negative, without talking directly to everyone in the prop department.  But I'm pretty sure are you not going to be able to show us a screen shot showing positive evidence of resin boxes in Rogue One.  If you have some from some other source, by all means please share it with us.
 
*Everything* we've gleaned to date has indicated metal for Rogue One, and I've seen nothing to the contrary, including in deleted scenes and material not released to the public.  On the other hand, the new resin ones can be seen pretty readily, in some subsequent features.
 
But here's the main question, after all that:  What would it matter, if you found some evidence that one random out of focus background character used a resin belt box?  We've made it pretty clear that the plan is to allow both...  We're not making a separate character CRL just for a belt box difference.  We're just trying to figure out the best way to state it in the CRL.

Understood.  We're talking about different aspects of the same thing, though.  I wasn't talking about the very corner bit, where there is a tiny relief cut to prevent corner puckering, I was talking about the actual edges of the metal, where you're literally looking at the thickness of the edges of the metal as it comes forward from the bend.  That's the part that was made thicker when they 3D modeled it.
 
Had the box back been a solid piece of metal, and not had tabs folding forward, the metal would have needed relief cuts where the back "band" wraps around each corner, to replicate the look seen and generate those sharp edges, but that's not the case here, as the construction is different.

I made a thing lol
 
Gonna make the body in resin and the black bit in urethane, I'll post up some pics when it's done.

Got it. Thank you for for everything

They're they're definitely on the slender side, around the calf, and being PVC rubber, they really don't stretch.  (A tiny amount, I suppose, but you *really* don't want to troop with tight rubber bands around your legs just below your knees).  And of course not adjustable in any way... they'll either fit, or they won't.
 
That's the nice thing about returns, of course.  (You can usually find those boots on Amazon, too, btw)

So I'm making some progress on this and I've started some work.
 
Worming with sheevs emporium we've figured out the suit pattern. Three tichkness of quilting. And using foam instead of batting. The suit is leather.
 
Helmet from chamanleonfx  , currently printing
 
The cape is similar in cut to the other cape, but is longer. No hex trim. Trim is dark grey almost black. Red lining.
 
Other armor will also be likely from chamanleonfx or mystery makers.  They are not done Desi. Do3d has some inaccuracies,  so not using their stuff.
 
Chest lights from frutto technologies 
 
Boots and gloves seem to basic.
 
Black Chelsea's for  boot? Most is covered by armor.
 
Basic black gloves, covered by armor.
 
I will have to figure out how to do jetpack through a cape. Currently thinking rare earth magnets, but will depend onass of jetpack.
 
Then to create  the staff. No research done there  yet. Was trying to nail down suit.
 
Exploring ideas for midsection. It's either foam or rubber.  Similar to what the beskar commandos have.
 
Will update with more progress and pics when at home and when imagur isn't being broken.
 
 

I feel like the pill shape *requirement* should be an L3, detail, at best.

Quite surprised it didn't end up in another Detachment, but pleased to welcome another Gideon variant into the IOC.   Thought this was going to be another Veers situation, LOL
 
I look forward to seeing your work again, Shayé!

I agree the color is fine.  The fabric itself is not accurate (it should be a twill, ideally Cavalry but Gabardine is commonly accepted alternative, and his is neither), but that's not something we've called out in the CRL, so it'll still pass.
 
The other, perhaps bigger, issue was the topstitching on the collars that we saw in photos.  I'm not sure if that was just a prototype and it was addressed later, or if they shipped that way, but that could be a bigger issue.  I'm hoping this was just a prototype, and a non-issue.
 

 
The collar height may be an issue for many, as well, as Joshua notes.  Meero and Partigaz had taller collars, just under 2", but a number of Tripon's collars have been measuring just over 2", which is supposed to be an absolute maximum... and frankly, outside of those two, nearly all (there are a couple odd exceptions, but still the vast majority) had 1.5" collars, and not the 2"+ that seems to be Tripon's preference for some reason.  You could argue scaling but unless you well north of 6 feet tall, that's a tough sell.
 
Meero:

 
Partigaz:

 
And then there are almost all of the others:
 
Blevin:

 
Yularen:

 
Corv: (attendant, not ISB, but just for completeness)

 
Looking around the conference table and other group scenes in Andor Episode 4, it's pretty clear that the vast majority have 1.5" collars.  And those few that do have taller collars, they're still at least a touch under 2".
 
It all boils down to the GML, in the end (as always).  Some just simply won't care, or won't be attentive enough to notice.  But others will.
 
Overall, we think Jim did a great job on these tunics.  But there are a couple areas that miss the mark, too, which is frustrating, because if he had approached the detachment instead of going directly to an LMO who didn't catch this stuff, things would have been more straightforward.

Team - I am happy to announce that Moff Gideon - Season 3, will be placed with the IOC.
 
Shaye - keep on documenting your build!
 
I am going to rename the thread a bit, too.

Are you referring to this costume?
 
https://www.etsy.com/listing/1277396137/female-imperial-officers-uniform
 
or this?
 
https://www.etsy.com/listing/1194944728/imperial-officers-uniform
 
The tunic construction is wrong on the female one ... they have three straight seams down the center of the back instead of the correct two princess seams construction called for in the CRL.  The male one has the princess seams but is missing other required elements.  The hat construction is missing required details as well.  These glaring issues make them immediately suspect, in my book.  I can't really tell any of the details of the fabric they've used, and it's nearly impossible to judge color without a reference.  The accessories are all garbage.  The pants pictured are all over the map... some of them look ok, others are bizarrely shaped.  (not terribly hard to fix, but will require some sewing ability or a local tailor)
 
The price is good, but the costume soft parts (tunic, pants, hat), as pictured, are not approvable, even with replacing all of the accessories.  IF the fabric is appropriate (again, can't tell) and they fixed the pattern problems, it might be a viable starter costume, but as listed, no, not without a substantial rebuild, which would require exact matching fabric and considerable sewing skills.
 
In sum: You could gamble on it, and be prepared to spend a fair amount with a local tailor to fix the issues (if they're fixable).  But it's a gamble.  Personally, I wouldn't.

Wow. Thank you for confirming the tunics are (mostly) the same and the photos!
 
I’m almost done with my pants and have started the first size blocking of a tunic pattern. 

I greenlit the addition last week, after re-watching the episode, and grabbing a bunch of screencaps and lightening them in Photoshop.  They do have that expansion gusset seen in the non-saga TIE gloves.  And smooth backs, not the 3-lined gloves of the OT TIE gloves.

I believe it’s a “vented pocket” or similar term. 

Besides Star Wars my other hobbies include photography. This year I decided to combine the two. Giving me an accuse to take costumes out of storage and share some observations in character. All from a satirical pro-Imperial point of view. I was planning on sharing the first video later this year but felt with it being May the 4th I should release it today.
 
Give it watch if you can. 
 
 

My understanding is that specific model boot is discontinued and no longer made.  I believe Crow Props is working on making a copy.

Here is the modified back.

@kman, don't know how I missed this message! I ended up ordering those same gloves and my boots should be here soon! 

I’ve managed to find the post for the German Garrison material order. If I need to add stuff to this thread as I research I shall.  
 
at this moment I know that the for the ISB attendant tunic it was made of a custom colour grey (unknown) on 450 gram Cavalry Twill. 

We don't know the specifics of their plans, sorry

IOC Staff just had a discussion about the name, since this one seems to be gaining some interest.
 
We checked the credits and subtitles, and there are references to both Guards (of various types... Box Guard, Console Guard, Delivery Guard, etc) and an "Intake Warden", but the uniforms don't seem to be any different.  So these are all Prison Guards, of various types.
 
Thing is, we have seen other prisons and detention centers before (Wobani, the plant prison they broke Jyn Erso out of, for instance), and they did not have these specialized uniforms, just standard uniforms we already have (navy troopers, security officers, etc.)  So these are somewhat unique.
 
Wookieepedia is definitely not authoritative or official, but they refer to this costume as a "Narkina 5 Prison Guard".  https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Narkina_5_prison_guard
 
There are also the Prison Technicians and the Prison Commander (although they both wear the same costume, just no hat on the commander) in the sort of slate blue jumpsuits, otherwise pretty much the same as the Guards and Wardens: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Unidentified_Narkina_5_prison_commander
 
Under the circumstances, we are leaning towards naming this costume "Narkina 5 Prison Guard" because it is, so far, unique to this particular factory prison.  Should we see other similar (but different?) Prison Guards in the future, we can rename the costume to just "Imperial Prison Guard" and add tabs for the CRL variations, if needed.
 
I'm going to rename this thread to reflect the updated costume name.

If it's like last time, black, olive, and white, at a minimum, and I believe I heard they were considering adding red and possibly a gray, but that remains to be seen if that works out.  It's not an IOC-managed run: It's their deal, so we'll have to wait and see what they come up with.

OK...I think 4 inches makes sense instead of 6 for our verbiage here.
