Hello - please enable me to see my armor. I've been working with Glenn Rhodes, so he can vouch for me. Thanks.

@TKSpartan @Doggydoc Here are some full bodies of the updates requested, and the helmet:

Welcome back and have fun building the TK!

A trusted handler/wrangler who carries water with a bendy straw!

I appreciate that. I've built many a kits so I have a few tricks up my sleeves...but these videos are great to learn newer things as well.

So here's are some pics. This was a 3 hour rough trim and tape to see sizing. I still need to trim more but this is moving faster than I expected. There are just a few things ill need to alter. The shins are a tad to long and ill trim from the bottom following the curves and take an inch off. Otherwise everything fits pretty good. Can someone help me pic pics?

Hello all! I originally joined the forums 15 years ago as I planned to start my TK build. Then life got in the way. I am happy to say that I have now purchased my RS Prop ANH Stunt TK kit and look forward to getting everything squared away to request admission to the ranks. Feel free to provide any info or advice you think would be helpful. Time to get excited!

Welcome aboard Kevin!

Yes, that's me! Rogers doesn't offer internet where I moved to, so I had to abandon all of my email addresses attached to that ISP, unfortunately. Use gmail now so that it's agnostic and I won't have that problem again. Can we recover my wreckdivr profile and attach my gmail address to it? You can then delete this profile. I just can't do a "forgot password" or anything on that other profile as I have no access to the email account any longer. Thanks for your help with this. I will wait to see what Locitus says. :)

I honestly can't remember for sure what I was using as my username at that time since it's been over 5 years, but it was likely "wreckdivr". Email would have been either [email protected] or [email protected].

What was your old username?

Minimum 5 posts for sales section I believe. Do you remember your old username?

I had a profile here for many years that was lost when I moved about 5 years ago and had to change ISPs (my email address was tied to the ISP - not doing that anymore). How can I get ahold of an Admin to help recover that profile and merge it with this one or change the email address to this Gmail one that I use, instead? I had a much higher post count on that profile and would rather recover it, if possible. Unless it's been too long? Can anyone point me to someone I could message to see if this is possible?

What is the post count that you need? I had to start a new account here three years ago because I moved and lost access to my email account that was originally tied to this forum (it used an email account with my old ISP that was deleted when I left the ISP). Is there any way to transfer that history or do I need to get posts in here? I want to sell my ANH AP TK armor on the Personal For Sale section but cannot create any new topics. :(

Hello and welcome, you will find a pletherer of information here Also some YouTube videos helpful https://www.youtube.com/@cableguydan/videos https://www.youtube.com/@RichieStormtrooper Good luck with the build

Hello, I hope everybody is having a great summer. I am a filmmaker who is writing a screenplay about two Star Wars armorers and their struggle to complete a large number of stormtrooper costumes in one week, for a charity event. I decided to join this forum as part of my research. I do not consider myself a Star Wars "fan" per se - I remember watching all the original movies, prior to the special editions, and loving all of them, and then watching the Phantom Menace and being disappointed. I've done that much! I don't do costumes or engage with the fandom on a personal level, and its been years since I've seen any of the films (though that will soon change). This is more of a story that came to me because I wanted to write a narrative fictional story set in the confines of a real (fantasy) fan-universe. I will be posting some specific questions, mostly in the armoring sections. Glad to be here!

@TKSpartan @Doggydoc I know I'll need a full suit up, but I wanted to highlight most of the adjustments here before I do: Mid Section: Shoulders: Helmet: There is some paint flake clean up to do , but you should get the idea!

I may be looking to build another kit, so I will eagerly watch your progress. Best of luck!

Welcome to FISD Kevin. Great to see you're and experienced Trooper. Looking forward for your Building thread.

Hello everyone. So I have acquired a new set of armor from 850armorworks. It is their new ANH TK kit. I have many kits, from the original armor FX, to an RS kit, had a Dave's depot kit, a new kit coming from a maker in Canada and now the 850 kit. I will hopefully be documenting the build here if anyone is interested in following and has any questions. I will have pics as soon as I can take and post. I do plan on doing a tutorial video as well, though I dont know if I can post videos.

I don't do double snaps, only singles. Has never failed me yet. But my snaps are marine-grade so very strong.

Based on Alain's files (assuming these are what replaced your PPC pieces), using his posterior plate is "required" due to how the spine plate creates a square rear protrusion. While this isn't screen-accurate to how the armor is physically assembled, it functions the same because the components are worn together as one unit. When properly assembled, the spine plate should slide under the rear belt, wedging the butt plate into place. However, because these digital files don't fit perfectly together, expect to do some manual sanding and shaping during post-processing. See the attached mockup for reference:
