To me it looks like it is two lines instead of tube stripes. Opinions? Would really like to do this set if I had my TX to do over again. Is it 501st official?

Nothings official until it's approved by the LMO, but he depends on us to refine the standards. Seeing that it's a licenced game, it should be just as good as any other videogame-based suit as long as we can provide evidence and good screen caps.

It appears to be about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in width. The bicep, forearm, and shoulder bells have a consistent line that appears to be about halfway around the bicep piece, then down the forarm with the width being about an inch past the edge of the raised outside trim. I would really be interested in doing my stealth in these markings if its going to be 501st legit. The helmet I think will be the easiest part to modify, may even be able to do it with vynil stickers so that it is easily removable...not sure about being able to do the arms the same way, just think it would take too much abuse to stay looking good. Anyone have an opion on the color. The picture makes it look kind of a mustard yellow as apposed to true gold. Have to go to the store on monday and see what colors I can find.

Doesn't mean it couldn't get approved, but without three documented references, it'll be tough. Screen caps would definitely help.

Ive been on google quite a bit trying to find more references, but so far no luck. I have a friend who reads a lot of star wars books, Ill see if he knows of a reference and that might be our third one. Ill let ya guys know soon as i find out anything.

I just need to see the TCG reference to push it by the Legion Membership Officer and draft a Costume Reference Library spec (and have you guys vote on it before it's submitted to her). Kev

A Novatrooper (Black & Gold TX Stormtrooper from SWG/SWG CCG) MUST have the following: - Black, glossy professional-quality Stormtrooper armor (made of solid or painted ABS, HIPS, Styrene, or Fiberglass). If converted from a white TK, no white may ever show on the armor. Gold (antiqued-style) painted or perm. vinyl decals detail stripes on must perfectly match the SWG/SWG CCG models. - Black helmet frown. Cheek tube stripes may only be antiqued gold. Crown indents must be black or antique gold, depending on SWG or SWG CCG model. Earcap vertical stripes may be black, antiqued gold. If SWG model, a gold stripe must run horizontally from the two front crown indents, exactly 1/2 the indent size. SWG CCG version has no such gold stripe. - Opaque flat or bubbled helmet lenses, colored either black, smoke, silver, or dark green. A spectator must NEVER be able to see your eyes through the helmet when worn. - Matte black TK-style neckseal. Ribbing is highly encouraged to match TK specs. - Plain Black Gloves (preferrably leather, but may be rubber or Jersey-style cloth). No ornamental/decorative stitching is permitted and must cover the wrist (no flesh must show on fingers or wrist) - Solid black undersuit, either one-piece or two piece. Non-textured, non-shiny material, but wide vertical ribbing is permitted. Commonly used items include dive suits, �UnderArmor� or �Starter� warm-up suits, or dance unitards - Black "Chelsea-style" ankle high, laceless, non-ornamentally stitched boots. Boots may be leather or vinyl preferrably with small U-shaped elastic sections on either side of the ankle and up to a 1� heel. They must closely match the TK standard, but be glossy black vs. white. - Blaster. May be an E-11 or BFG. MG34 (DLT19), Lewis Gun (T21), or MG15 (unnamed in SW galaxy). These weapons may be a modified toy blaster (i.e. Hasbro), scratch-built, resin cast, hyperfirm rubber cast, vaccum-formed, MR, or real demilitarized guns. Blaster must look accurate, may (preferrably) be weathered and must never be able to fire any projectile for safety reasons. - Black leather/leather-like material E-11 holster worn only when an E-11 is carried. Black canvas belt and holster is authorized, but must adhere to TK ANH specs. - Four �teeth� cut out and backed with black screen on either side of helmet �frown�. - Thermal Detonator. - Ab plate side gaps are permissable. - Ab plate buttons may only be black. They should adhere to the TK size standard (FX or AP kit sizes). - Kneeplate must be TK trapezoid style and antique gold-colored. TD diamond kneeplates are NOT acceptable. - Handplates must be antique gold. Recommended Novatrooper Modifications (Recommended, but not at all required) - Holster should be on the right side ONLY if an E-11 is carried. No E-11 holster is worn when equipped with any other blaster. - One Black leather, vinyl, or canvas Ammunition Pouches (MP40, MP38, or similarly styled) 3 pocket shoulder ammo pack with black enamel snap buttons is recommended to match SWG CCG artwork. Ammo pack is worn on the opposite side that the blaster is carried... i.e. If you are left handed, pack is worn on right shoulder. If right handed, pack is worn on left shoulder. - Rank Pauldron (if worn), must be antique gold and black. Made from vinyl or leather. Pauldron is worn on same side blaster is carried - i.e. if right-handed, pauldron is worn on the right side. If you wear the pauldron, you MUST equip an ammo pack on the opposite shoulder as the pauldron per the CCG reference. - Separate the cod/lower back pieces for mobility - Side gap plates are permitted and encouraged, but must match the gloss black color of your armor. - Black Macrobinoculars may be equipped, styled after those used in the Special Edition, but matte black in color. - Black ANH Stormtrooper-style ComLink. - Helmet fans and helmet cutouts for ventilation. Any cutouts must be backed with black screen so a spectator cannot see your face inside the helmet. - Voice amplifier and/or voice effect board w/Static Burst sound effect. - Accurate black Hovi-Mix cast �tusks�. - Resin E-11 modification kit is recommended for the Hasbro E-11, to include Hengstler counter, cylinders, and spiral black wiring from counter to cylinders. - LEDs/sound effects (for firing sound effect) are permitted in blasters. LEDs are NOT permitted ANYWHERE on the costume itself. - Black matte canvas or leather/leather-like belt as an alternative to the plastic belt is permitted as per FISD Elite TK standards. If you do this mod, the detonator must use the "mail"-style clips to clip on the back of the belt. - Armor may be slightly weathered, showing silver, grey, or black scratches. But armor must remain glossy (never matte black, ever). - 5 ANH-style "teeth" holes on each side of the frown on the helmet. Holes must be backed with black screen so nobody can see through them.

Detachment Leader Posts: 1,607 Group: Supporter Member #1 Joined: June 1, 2005	Yup, if the pauldron is worn. If you choose not to wear the pauldron, you don't wear the ammo pouches. This is the only TK-variant that wears ammo pouches with an E-11 carried (as seen in the SWG CCG pic).
