  1. So here are the best pics I was able to get of the boots. I did lighten up the image to get a better look of them. In my opinion they remind me of the style of boots that are approvable for Darth Maul, a pair motorcycle boots with the shift pad across the top of the boot. It’s unclear about the heel from the pics I have. Thank you for necromancing this thread. Also in my opinion the sleeves are smooth and blouse at a separate from form fitting gloves, ribbed gauntlet. Seeing that the sleeves are form fitting to the biceps I figure that they are a cotton knit material like those of a turtle neck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Congratulations Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. That one looks good. If you can you can ask for raw silk or you can go with a cotton twill. The outer tunic is very much a black karate gi and they are made from a cotton/poly blend twill like the jumpsuit for the TIE pilots and reservists. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Ok I just thought I would ask since some characters from the current animated shows as well as the comics have been put here. Thank you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. I was wondering where the Clone Wars version of Maul fall? Would it be here or in the SLD? I am planning on building the Maul from CW s5 ep14-16 and since there is no CRL I want to know where to plant the seed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Has anyone gotten in contact with LucasFilm about getting copies of the animation assets of characters so that a CRL can be written?
  7. So for about a week now I have been working on the CRL’s for the Mandalorian Super Commando Grunts, both the Vertical and Diagonal hand print versions. Now my personal belief is that the the Deathwatch Mandalorians have been misplaced in the Detachment they are currently assigned. Only Jango and Boba are bounty hunters and them being in BHG is appropriate. Yet the Clone Wars Mandalorians were grouped into BHG as well even though it was never stated that they were bounty hunters or not. Now since these characters are featured in the Clone Wars animated show they could be grouped into Flagship Eclipse because they are a canon character from an “Expanded Universe” source. Now I’m not saying that the character who are already assigned to BHG are to be moved but going forward the newly approved Mandalorians whether it be the Deathwatch Super Commandos or the imperial super commandos be placed in Flagship Eclipse. Since the characters I have been working on the CRL’s for have no posted CRL it could be easily done. Now just in case this doesn’t go further in the Detachment switch I am posting these CRL’s to both the Bounty Hunters Guild and Flagship Eclipse Detachment forums. I am working on one of the costumes of the characters I have written the CRL (Diagonal hand print). Of course these will not be set in stone at first and will be up for review and revisions. Also who knows if there are any more people who have this costume so that there will be a visual reference or will the CRL list be a yellow tag with just the text waiting for a visual reference. I hope these will pass the muster for 501st standards.
