Here's the URL for the episode guide, which contains some pictures of the episode, plus the Gallery

Hopefully we'll be getting more High Resolution images in the coming days, so that we can build a proper CRL for the Supercommandos

[jango mando]

thanks for that help me out.
also, hope so will be by the end of the month so we can start planning the whole thing out.

[MrShadow900]

No problem! I am also making preparations to begin my build.
However one thing has me worried. As far as I can see, this is going to be a really uncomfortable armor to wear, even more than a Stormtrooper. Because the whole Chest is just two pieces, without division between the back and front, so it's going to be REALLY rigid. That's the downside of trying to replicate a cartoon armor in real life :/

The artwork doesn't really show but on the show the front and back plates were seperated down the sides. There's no way around that anyway and be able to put it on.
So going off the concept art and the episode the torso armor would be 6 seperate segments. 3 in front and 3 in back.

I will have to disagree with you on that, I've reviewed the episode again, and look at this shoots:



The front and back are the same piece, there is no division, and I think that the upper and middle pieces also can be made one, so the torso armor would be just 2 segments. However I may be wrong, but that's what I can see so far

[jango mando]

from what i can see from the ep and the screenshots you have here i think it would be a two piece torso as the top and the middle parts look separated to me and would have clips or something along those lines to keep it in place so well but hope as more ep come out and i hope we do get more photos to work from.

There are two things of the CRL that I have to disagree with, the first is the shin armor. From what I see is that the lower leg coverings is a boot spat with the knee armor either attached or it rides the top of the spat. The next is the ab armor, since these characters are based on the original super Commando design the ab section is a part of the flight suit.



If you notice the stitching is the same on the flight suit as it is in the character SOP.
Is there any way someone can contact a LFL member and ask about the character so we are getting it right? I would hate to see someone get approved for this costume and then have a LFL person say that the costume is wrong.

Please allow me to address your concerns and ask a few questions of my own:

1. LFL sends the CRL team privileged material in order to write the CRLs.
2. LFL is unlikely to ever interfere with this club's CRLs.
3. Basing one character and assuming another to have the same gear would be a mistake. The imperial supercommandos are not the concept Fett. The armor is not the same.
4. The lower leg covering on the concept and the ISC shin armor is completely different. Why are the CRLs an issue?
5. I'm not seeing your referenced stitching being the same. Please elaborate.

I wasn't comparing the lower leg covering of the character and the concept boba drawing. I was just saying that it is designed as a spat rather then actual armor.

If you look at the SOP's from the episode of the character and the concept boba, the flight suit stitching is near the same. For example look at the butt area of both, they both have a trapezoidal pattern and the seam goes down the back of the leg to the knee. To me, the ab area looks like it has an ornate stitching in the same place and going along with the concept boba flight suit. That's why I was asking if someone from LFL has said that it is a hard armor or not. To me it doesn't seem visually or logically that it would be, but I could be wrong.

I agree with some of the comment above this armor as it stands in the CRL would be uncomfortable and a near impossible to put on without having it be a front and back piece design. The upper and mid can totally be made as a one piece design that not a problem, the problem is that to be seamless would make it a challange to put on.

Can't disagree with you there. I'll take this to the team.

I know several people who wanted this project, saw it was like the clone troopers with no mobility and went on to another idea.

I won't let this one die until I complete it!!!
However... almost by chance I found out that in the now defunct game of Force Arena, Gar Saxon was a playable character, and he looks just amazing...
The only thing that remains the same from the Rebels series is the helmet (which I already have modeled). I was wondering if this can be considered to make a new CRL for the costume. I really dig this look on him and would be able to make the suit files before summer.

[Torolf Goran]

That version actually looks feasible for a real human to wear. I hope we can get a CRL for this. I know that reference would be enough to get a 501st CRL going so if nothing else you could try with them.

I would just write the CRL yourself from all of the available visual references and submit it to the new PO. Also it would be cool to submit that same CRL to the SpecOps detachment of the 501st for legion approval. It never hurts to try.

I'm actually working with the SpecOps Detachment, I'm a member myself 
They OK'd the references, and now are just defining whether it's going to be a separate CRL from the Rebels armor, or a variant.
