I recommend them joining the Merrin Facebook group as there is a lot of research one for the types of fabric utilized. Since we have such high res screenshots and files, the texture is a mandatory aspect for approval. https://www.facebook.com/groups/428369064782922/ Also, the hair must be white with the dark roots. A wig will most likely be necessary.

You can buy wefts of hair in varying lengths and colors that they use for weaves and essentially just stick them in the middle of your existing hair, then rubber band to hold it in place and to thicken before braiding.

Apologies for delay, I've been swamped with a week-long troop that ended this Saturday. You'll want to post here: https://www.theflagshipeclipse.com/forums/index.php?/forum/80-darth-revan/

You are correct on the butcher hilt. It is not from KOTOR, and therefore, is not approvable or wearable with the KOTOR armor that the 501st has approved. That isn't to say that if someone wanted to do a version of Revan with it that it wouldn't be approvable, it just wouldn't be interchangeable. Also yes, MyWickedArmor is still the best readily available armor from a vendor you can find, though you will need to change out the ring strings to straps.

So, I am currently talking with the maker to see what can be done on an accuracy standpoint. I just want to reiterate that any sales or merchant-related issues an not be handled by the Detachment and must be between the buyers and the maker.

It says you hadn't logged into these forums in the last year, so the 501st sync put you as inactive. Logging in should fix it for the next sync.

Apologies for delay, we've had an insane week here, but yes, this is huge. Absolutely huge.

Greetings! Looking forward to the research and build for it.

Hello! Yes, we have confirmation from LMOs that all Inquisitors are TFE-assigned from this point. Excited to see the research and build!

Without actually seeing it on a person's head, it is hard to determine what the proportionality is. One being approved in, unfortunately, not much to go on as there are so many approved helmets and masks across the Legion that, in fact, should not be.

I'm trying to search for any that I find in my free time to see if it will help. Though, admittedly the concept of, "free time" right now as I am going through test week, work deadlines, medical stuff, and a week-long Fiesta troop planning are a bit scarce. If I come by any that work well with the lower heel I will post here!

What size shoe do you wear?

I don't think it is limited to a specific method given that it goes to the helmet.

That might have too much texture to the knit for what is referenced in game.

Yeah, as with before, whatever people feel like contributing, we can do. 🙂

We need a completed costume to work off of for any changes (can't change text without accompanying photos to match), so when we have a completed costume from head to toe, we can get this going.

The problem comes in that there wasn't a cohesive concept of reference requirement when this costume was approved. It is why the COTF Nihilus is actually an amalgamation of 3 almost completely different sources (box art, minifig, and 3.75" fig). There's a line where it becomes logical (and practical) to update certain costumes for specific reference inclusion and exclusion, and where it becomes downright impossible. COTF Nihilus will pretty much never be capable of accuracy to any specific reference, but this one *might* be able to. If you are wanting to look into the possibility of it, we can definitely pull together a think tank of the DL, XO, advisors, Det LMOs, and those wanting to be involved in this, but we need to be sure we want to go down that road before we start as we can't do half-assed CRL reformations.

You'll want to contact your GML as they are the ones who would be approving it.

If folks wanted to submit for a CRL update with more details, I'd be all for it.

We don't make CRLs until we have a costume built by a member, but he was eligible before, too.

Got it!

By definition of how the 501st Legion validates approvability (as of 2012 and later), details must match within a single reference. That means that you can not combine references for details of parts of a costume. You must also utilize cohesive reference, meaning if one reference differs from another (in this case, book cover vs comics) you can not combine them and must think of them as separate existences for the purpose of approval. If you are basing it off the hilt from the book cover, then it would need to be the complete cover version submitted, which is not possible because there is not a full 360 degrees of cohesive reference even on that front. We need some level of consistency to create any value of a basis of system for approvals, and picking and choosing which details we utilize from different references defeats the purpose of having an approval system at all, or being able to claim the highest level of quality in reference comparison that the Legion has. The only time this is not applicable in when there are differences within the SAME reference material, e.g. Aphra and her Barbie-like array of clothing and accessories options within a single issue of a comic. You are technically able to pick and choose different setups based on what she wears in the comics. Generally the same parts but in different combinations with some variation in designs (like her aviator cap and goggles that are different in every damn panel. Now, that doesn't mean you can't utilize whatever hilt you want in your free time, but for the purposes of approval and trooping, the rules of approval dictate that you use and wear what is in the approval and the CRL.

The mask looks rather large in proportions, but detail wise looks good. The lower section of the chest armor (ab section) is not correct. It lacks the separation between the chest and the ab by the soft armor (leather or leatherlike material). It is not a single piece.

Welcome! Just a heads up for the 3D modeling and 3D printing, you'll want it to look like this version. You can make it a helmet or have cheek plates on it, but I see a lot of people model the mask after the SWTOR style which is not correct. Revan 3D Etsy file Looking forward to having another Revan!

You'll want to speak to your GML as they're the ones approving.
