Title: Possible Admiral Garrick Versio, CRL in progress
Post by: Dax Corrin on January 10, 2019, 09:25:17 AM
 So, I did some digging on the Imperial Officer forums, and there has been some discussion on this character but not much action. I am working with CosplaySky on the properly modified white tunic with a fusion of standard and ISB style cues in his tunic. Specifically, while the yoke is cut in the ISB style, the yoke is also not as wide so it reveals the right side pocket and it also has a left side pocket. ISB tunics do not have the pockets. Otherwise, it will be the same as a standard black tunic with the yoke cut differently. It will not go up to the right shoulder. Picture from game for reference.

I'm ordering a couple of extra yards of trouser material for a hat or 2 to be constructed likely by Tigg-Wolf, who is also making the rank bars.

His belt buckle is flat not curved, but if my current curved buckle belt from Brian Pfau will pass for basic approval, I will stick with that for now.

Need gloves and boots still but this will come together fairly quickly, and if it looks good enough, maybe I can be the CRL model? 
Wish me luck.

Tunic and trousers ordered, along with 2 yards of material for hats. One with the notch up, one with the notch down as my current hat has seen better days. Hopefully they understand what I want. ISB tunic does not have pockets, and yoke extends further across the chest from left to right. Hopefully it will be close, I did send them my measurements and custom fitting charge. Last item for possible basic approval based on preliminary CRL is the boots. Found some on the interwebs but calf diameter too small for me, and I don't have monster calfs (spelling???) so that search will continue.

Cosplaysky completed the order, awaiting full shipping information. Hopefully they looked at the photo I linked them to with my custom order, hopefully no alterations needed.
Ordered boots, will be here Thursday. Would be nice if I got to try it all on this weekend along with some Inferno Squad peeps at Evergreen, but there's no way it will get here that fast.

Boots arrive Thursday, costume Friday. Wish rank bars would be here by then.  We'll have to see how they did on the tunic.

Looks like boots and costume will both arrive today. I have added a "kid's size" set of rank bars to my order. After watching the cutscenes featuring AD. Versio, it is pretty clear to me that his rank bars are smaller than the lower ranking officers that are on the Star Destroyer with him. I have both full size and the 3/4 kid size for comparison. We'll see how the tunic looks later today I think. More to come.

I received my tunic and trousers, both need work before submission. Thanks to Sierra for being awesome and helping my with adjustments to both the tunic and the trousers, despite sending my measurements the pants are so big they fall off. Boots are tight but doable. Thanks also to Casey (Yesac) who has generously found time to craft me a couple of new hats with the extra trouser material I ordered. Material goes in the post today. I think we will be able to make a CRL from this once it is completed.

Ordered the wrist length gloves I think will work. Hopefully hat was able to get finished over the last weekend.

Gloves have arrived, tunic and trousers should be done today. I notice my belt buckle needs polishing and the correct rank bars have not arrived yet, and awaiting word on my hat. Will take pics of the WIP so far with my old tired hat and incorrect rank bars, overlook those and we will be comparing the rest to the available screenshots.

OK, other than the hat, this is what I have. I have posted them on the Imperial Officer forums, we'll see what the experts have to say.

Thank you Sierra for all the work on both the trousers and tunic!

Going to move the clasp for the yoke next to the pocket slightly to make the yoke lay more flat. Took some of the excess off my belt, with my weight loss and added a new hole to make it fit more snugly. A good problem to have, actually.

Went to LA to play for the weekend, did a day at WonderCon and debuted my Admiral Versio with a bad hat and work still needed on the tunic. Nothing official since it's not approved yet.

 Sierra came by today and we have the next to final adjustments to be made to the tunic. Collar needs to close a bit tighter, and the yoke doesn't lay flat as-is even before moving it over to the right further. It will need to be reduced as it covers the right pocket almost completely and it needs to be revealed. The clear plastic snaps that secure the yoke to the under layer will need to be re-located as well, that will be the final final fitting. Also going to add some fabric fusing inside the ends of the sleeves. Very close now, but the boots are going to have to be replaced as they are the "Cruel Shoes"...

I have my disk on my new hat, and it looks good. Tunic is tailored, and returned. Looking to get proper boots from Gio props as the cheaper ones I have are too damn painful to walk in for any length of time. I can take approval photos now with what I have though and try to be the CRL model. Need an expert to help with some quality photos down here in Eugene.

 Both my Inferno Squad costumes, Gideon Hask and Ad. Versio are getting very close.

Lori E kindly took all these and will do background magic, but hopefully this will be the first Legion approved Admiral Garrick Versio. Hopefully this link to Imgur works for all the photos.

A couple from the post: This is a highly modified tunic, a mix of Imperial Intelligence and Rogue One Krennic. In short though, it's a Standard officer tunic with pockets and a modified yoke in white. Sierra Owens did a TON of work to it despite custom measurements it was essentially a tent on me. Many thanks to all her work.

Tunic needs more work. A couple of missing pinch seams and it's still a tent on me. The pockets need to be closer to the sleeves so material can come out there, and the back will need reducing as well to fit me better. More to come. It's on the back burner as of now while I vacation and work on my Gideon Hask.
