    That's a discussion we can have.  I'll be honest in saying though, that I'm pro hats.  I've always liked the sans hat option the way it is now; where you go for level 2 or 3 as a hatless officer rather than at level 1.

    So did a quick costest today. Still need to put the rank band and badge on the jacket, need to get a Sith Logo printed for the belt, get a proper set of gloves and the pants and boots are stand ins for the actual ones which will be coming soon.  Oh, and figure out the hat. 
     
    Still, really pleased with how its coming along. Hopefully it won't be too much longer.

    As above, if you're travelling overseas reach out to the local garrison.  Even if you can't troop with them they'll likely invite you along to meet and greet.

    As long as the character isn't "customizable" I think it should be valid.  Also, I don't think we'd add any face requirements.  That's my 2 credits.

    Tonydragon reacted to charlyselo in Line/Staff Rain Poncho by charlyselo   
    A few months ago, in January to be more exact, I made a rain poncho, guiding me a little about Angelus' work and screenshots of the film.
    I made a tutorial for the forum of Spanish Garrison, and now I will be translating it here little by little. I hope you like it

    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    Fabric: Black nylon 100% waterproof. 3 meters x 1.5 meters.

    The rain poncho consist in three main parts: yoke and collar(blue), cape (black) and breastplate(green).

    Let's go with the first one.
     
    Cape
     
    Cape is the most easy part. Consist of two rectangles, wich length is the size from the neck to the upper part of the boots, and width comes from the same point of the neck to the top of your fingers, putting your arms cross.

    Then you have to sew it together only on the red line, a little bit more of the half.

     
    Yoke and collar
     
    This part consist in another four parts: back, front right side, front left side and collar.
     
    Back:

    I give you mi sizes as reference. It's based on a XL size from CosplaySky suit.

    On the last image, the red line correspond to the seams need to be visible, about a 1" from the border.
     
    Next, the front left side (from the wearer's point of view) consist in two pieces:



    H.2 and H.3 need to be sew it together at the middle. H.3 will be on top of the front right piece. H.4 is the front right piece:

    Now that's how it should look:


    Grey part from H.4 will be hidden by H.3
    Again, visible seams are required. Red are 1" from the border, blue are 1/2":

     
    Bib

    So sorry if 'bib' it's not the correct name for this piece.
     
    The bib is quite simple to make. It consists of four sections, namely: two symmetrical sections, one inch wide, which will go on each side of the bib. A four-inch section on the left side, seen from the front, which will contain the pocket for the dosimeters, and finally a fourth central section.



     
    The two outer sections will go down to the edge of our suit jacket, while the other two inner sections will be two inches longer. Remember, once again, to leave seam allowances when cutting the fabric.
     
    The pocket in my case I made it four inches deep, enough to contain the dosimeters (at least the ones I have, manufactured by Malakili). For this I simply cut that section with the calculated length, plus twice the depth of the pocket, that is, eight inches. In this way simply by folding we get the pocket.
     
    The fourth and last section, the central one, is the simplest. Simply calculate the width to fill in the full width of the shoulder / neck part.
     
    And finally the visible seams. Across the bottom, seam to approximately a quarter of an inch to finish off the edge. Another quarter-inch seam in the center section over the pocket section. And most importantly, two cross seams in the pocket section. One inch horizontally from the edge of the pocket, and another vertically one inch to the left of the section. In this way we will "divide" the pocket in two, one of an inch almost useless and the other of three inches where the dosimeters will go. Earlier I said that this section will be four inches, although we now have a pocket really three inches wide. Keep in mind that a pocket less than two and a half inches wide we can have trouble putting two dosimeters.
     


     
    Another measure that I have forgotten to comment on before, is that the pocket will be approximately two inches from the top edge.
     
    And another thing to keep in mind when joining the three parts of the poncho, is that you have to form a "sandwich" in the following order from outside to inside: shoulders, cape and bib. I will leave some photos where I hope you can see well what I mean.

    As its been about a week now since Episode 8 of the Mandalorian, I think its fair to post some pics from that episode. If you havent seen it yet, SPOILERS AHEAD!!! You've been warned!!
     

    Back of the cape. Note the red seam running across his shoulders. Note the collar: could the back middle be where the opening of the collar be?
     

    A full head to toe image of Moff Gideon. This really shows the edge of the tunic as a different color/material from the rest of the uniform.
     

    Side angle of the armor and shoulder bells. Note the details on the shoulder bells, and the continuation of the red seam on the cape
     

    Close up of the shoulder straps on the armor
     

     

    Note the details on the gauntlet below the wrist. It looks to be a ribbed texture on it. Also, there appears to be "plates" or padding on the back of the hand and fingers.
     

    Note the tunic below the collar. Doesn't appear to be a dart.
     

    Image of the other shoulder bell. Also, note the collar. There appears to be no visible opening on the front, likely in the back (see above)
     

     

     

    Close up of the gauntlet again. Really shows those unique features mentioned above. Also, a little look at the blaster
     

    A surprisingly loose collar on Moff Gideon... Or maybe its just the angle of his head.
     

    Another shot of the blaster. Also, note that there is a circumference seam here and what appears to be a seam running up the right side of the tunic.
     

    Another look at the blaster and gauntlet.
     

    Note the boots. Non-standard boots. Looks to be some sort of texture not seen before. I was wrong about it being FO boots. They're not. They're entirely different.
     

    Another good shot of the seams on the tunic. Perhaps a double-breasted tunic? 
     

    Good shot of the red stripe on the sleeve.
     

     

     

     

    You can see a red strip running up the sleeve
     

     

    Close up of the boots. Best I could do. You can see the texture I am talking about here.

    The armor worn by First Order Security Bureau Agent Tierny from the Resistance cartoon is worth comparing to Moff Gideon's chestplate, especially since he was Imperial Security Bureau.

    I'm seriously interested to see which detachment Moff Gideon will fall into. I personally think the IOC because he's a Moff. But that's just me. I also hope they release a visual dictionary for the Mandalorian too, so we can get better view of his costume.

    Tonydragon reacted to Mitthrawnuruodo in General Veers CRL   
    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.

    Somewhat back from a hiatus and just looking through the CRL.
     
    Noticed that the SE-14R entry doesn't quite match the other 2 blaster entries, so is a bit vague on which configuration can have one.
    The other 2 entries also don't reference Version Four.
     
    Current CRL:

     
     
    Suggested amendments added in green (actual colour would be matching blue of course):
     
    DH-17 Blaster
    Scratch built or high-end prop replica.  
    OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Version One may have a DH-17. Versions Two, Three and Four may not have a DH-17.  
    SE-14R Light Repeating Blaster
    The barrel detailing is evident with the cocking lever and slider in place. The ejection port is also evident. The scope mount looks similar to the magazine but smaller in size. The scope does not protrude past the blaster body.  
    OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable):
    Version Four may have an SE-14R. Versions One, Two and Three may not have an SE-14R  
    BlasTech E-11 Based on a real or replica Sterling sub-machine gun, scratch-built, or a modified commercial toy Stormtrooper blaster.  
    OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Versions One and Two may use an ANH E-11. Versions Three and Four may not use an E-11. Folding stock (does not need to function). No ammo counter shall be present. D-ring mounted on the rear. Sterling based blasters have the correct M-38 or M-19 style scope. The M-19 scope is preferred. No power cylinders on the magazine housing. Scratch-built, resin cast, Hyperfirm rubber cast blasters shall have a total of 6 T-tracks on blaster (leaving the lowest row on the magazine housing side uncovered). If using the Hasbro E11 toy blaster and you cover all the rows of holes, the blaster will have 7 T-tracks total. But, if you want to have the correct number of T-tracks (6 total) with the lower row of open vent holes on the magazine housing side, then you shall cover the pre-existing rows of holes with T-tracks, and grind off the lower integrated T-track on the magazine housing side and drill a new row of holes in its place. OPTIONAL Level three certification (if applicable): Hasbro blasters are not allowed, even conversions.   Minor changes but would hopefully help new builders and their Armourers avoid confusion by having it there in black and white (and blue).

    I wore the costume for the first time at the Star Wars Celebration Chicago and I worked out and submitted a draft together with others shortly after the event and have been waiting patiently ever since. At the FedCon in Germany two other members of the German Garrison joined me with the costume:





    I worked together with the concept artists and designers of the original outfit to get everything as close to the real deal as possible.

    Adding the armor to a basic Line Officer is pretty much just the AT-AT Commander CRL (just with a back plate).
     
    For those interested, the ATAT Commander CRL is open to any rank at Level 1, General is just needed for higher approval. So you could replicate this just with the back piece and slightly different belt using that CRL

    I love the character, and I love the costume, great job. But it's not different enough to warrant its own CRL in my opinion. As you said, it's the Line Officer CRL but no hat. 
     
    If your Garrison is ok with it, he doesn't necessarily need to troop with the hat on. But definitely run it by your Garrison command staff though.

    So, I adjusted the scope position on my own blaster, then took a good HD image and cropped out the background.
     
    Here's the final draft proposals (unless I missed something):
     
     

    Holster, Version Four
    Made of black leather or leather-like material.  
    OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable):
    Holster is made of leather. Holster is worn on the right-hand side. Holster is affixed via a single loop over the belt. OPTIONAL Level three certification (if applicable):
    Holster matches reference images.  
     

    SE-14R Light Repeating Blaster
    The barrel detailing is evident with the cocking lever and slider in place. The ejection port is also evident. The scope mount looks similar to the magazine but smaller in size. The scope does not protrude past the blaster body.  
    Thoughts everyone?

    So, it seems the image for the SE-14 should be updated to a HD image of the R1 variant (scope not protruding) like @Dave Maul posted.
     
    I'll be scooting my own scope forwards to not protrude as Dave has done and as @bjsavage7 suggests.
     
    Regarding the excessive text, please see a more streamlined version below @Hask:
     
    Holster, Version Four
    Made of black leather or leather-like material.  
    OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable):
    Holster is made of leather. Holster is worn on the right-hand side. Holster is affixed via a single loop over the belt. No fixings are used. Joining edges are stitched only. OPTIONAL Level three certification (if applicable):
    Holster is made from a single piece of leather. The finish of the leather exactly matches reference images.  
    Thoughts all?
