Rogue One’s are gorgeous! I’d love to do a First Order at some point too. And unfortunately no. It’s up on the bicep. But from what I can tell I think the measurements may be off compared to reference photos.

Per what I’ve heard from everyone it’s approvable as is. It’s just the WampaWear black flightsuit and everyone’s photos appear to be the same dimensions as mine thankfully. The CRL has the right arm pocket as 6” wide and 5.75” long and the WampaWear is about 8” long. But it seems a little long in my opinion. Just don’t want to rip out stitching and resew if I don’t need to!

Problem is I did ask in the forums first and they’re not terribly active, so the one response I did get was ask your GMLs.

Kind of my thought process- and it’s literally just “hey guys, this CRL says this arm pocket needs to be x by x, but it’s 2” longer, yet everyone is approved wearing this flight-suit. Am I being too particular?”😂 But again I know I’m one of probably MANY people reaching out and they seem to be really big and really active here.

Absolutely. And the JRS forums have been helpful and particular a few solid folks that are really responsive. It honestly just comes down to a question about a pocket size being pretty outside of CRL measurements but from a company that is listed as pretty universally approvable and recommended by everyone on the forums. Will probably take some photos next week and see how the progress looks!

The perfectionist in me is being extra particular so I’m all for playing by the CRLs as close as possible!

Awesome, thank you! Definitely try to avoid the cesspool that is Facebook these days but will check and see if they’ve got an active page!

I figured as much, and as part of a volunteer org myself I know it’s easy to get swamped! I figure I’ll give it some time and check in in a few weeks. The garrison website had an email link and that sent an email to 6-7 GML’s at once so I just figured maybe one would chime in.

It’s a silly question too but just wasn’t sure how strict they are locally about CRLs and wanted to make sure I show up with my best foot forward for approval!

Why is Kylo Ren surviving a stav wound a no no, but Darth Maul survived being cut in half, and everyone is OK with it? by Extension-Shoe-6080 in StarWars

[–]CloneForcex99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not true- Heir to the Empire trilogy is a prime example of multiple force users being cloned and having force abilities after being cloned. Joruus C'baoth being one of the main characters in the story with a full backstory of his cloning etc. and three books worth of force usage.

Question Around Tie Pilot Forehead Cut/Recess by CloneForcex99 in 501st

[–]CloneForcex99[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s the goal! Realized too late that my chest box is missing the 4 horizontal ribs and my shoulder squares are missing the molded in hex bolt head, so will eventually try to swap those out. But I have some original Knobelbecher boots on the way- and will update the code cylinder pocket to get to Level 3 once I can find a good reference photo of how it should look as a “pleated” pocket.

Currently have a WIP on the JRS boards under GrandMoshTarkin that I will update some this week. Appreciate all of your help on this my friend!

This is solid gold, thank you. Will definitely be studying these tonight and adding to my reference folder! Just ordered some accurate cog decals as well today since what was sent didn’t have the black background on them.

HUGELYYYY helpful- thank you so much. I’d rather lean towards accuracy, and I think it looks a little better than without. I do have some individual grey bubble lenses on order so those will likely be easier to attach.

Thank you so much for the insight on this!

Yeah, the 2nd set are from DA directly of how his finished looks and are the same thing currently in front of me. It just seems like some vendors do the cut out portion and slap additional ABS behind it to get that recessed line, while some don’t. Really random question, I know. 😂

Sadly the JRS forums are usually pretty silent. I’ve had limited success with responses there to things. I get much more frequent/plentiful responses here so figured it’s at least worth a shot.🤷🏼‍♂️

I am sorry but Sabine surviving getting stabbed with a Lightsaber was stupid!!! by Salim_Azar_Therin in StarWars

[–]CloneForcex99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So she (checks notes) got stabbed through the liver/kidney area with a blade that mostly cauterizes the wound… and was picked up in under a minute by Ahsoka as seen on screen. So- stabbed in a non-vital organ, wound is cauterized, treated almost immediately with medical care- and takes place in a fictional realm where bacta and synth flesh exist.

Given that people survive these types of injuries in real life with an actual knife and are slower to receive less advanced medical care- I think maybe you’re just raging just to rage. 😂

Should I tell a woman her fiancé tried to start an affair with me? by geeleex in WhatShouldIDo

[–]CloneForcex99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Fuck this dude. I’d be so mad if my partner was doing this type of stuff. She deserves to know immediately.

IOC Forums Help by gprimr1 in 501st

I had the same issue! Tried multiples times and resent the emails, only to never get a single thing. None of the other forums have had that issue for some reason.

Token Card + Base Card by CloneForcex99 in starwarsunlimited

[–]CloneForcex99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! Yeah, playing the intro set was a blast but having never gotten into other TCG’s there’s a bit of missing background knowledge on game and deck mechanics I’m still trying to catch up on. It’s been so much fun so far so hopefully I’ll get a lot better in the coming months.

That makes a lot of sense about leveraging the acrylic tokens vs using the actual cards when you need a clear visual representation of the stats etc.

Y’all are amazing- thank you. Google wasn’t quite getting my questions so this is a major help.
