Re: Helmet Questions from a Newbie

Generally speaking, the Don Post is not approvable in its raw form. With work to get the paint matching robes, a proper visor, no cracks/dents/etc, it can be made approvable, but it does take time to do it.

If you post some pictures, we can help guide you in getting it to an approvable state.

Re: Shadow Guard Project

The jumpsuit should also be more form fitting as it appears to be too big for the individual, at least in the arms. This is what is producing the bunching of the fabric.

Re: Gloves

Cupcake, do you know what are the diffference between the ROTJ and ROTS gloves version? I have a spare set from IB which their kit is supposed to be ROTJ. They made a mistake in my order, so I have a pair laying around doin' nothing. RoTS gloves are leather, RoTJ gloves are not. Thus, RoTJ gloves a...

Re: Gloves

For me, you are better off going the known approved route and getting gloves from IB. These look far too close to "halloween costume" type gloves which from what I have seen in my time in the legion and detachment do not get passed

Re: First build

Not sure what (read: not approvable) means? I didnt read any where in the crl that the hem needs to be invisible and cant really find any screen shots that show the inner robe hem. The hem is slightly gathered and the sun coming in the door doesnt help that at all. The double velvet is very notorio...
