Hi, Small correction proposed to the first draft, Looking closely at the greaves, the level 2 should read 'The greave is a single piece construction with a seam only present at the rear which overlaps to the OUTSIDE' As per reference pictures below:

Internal view of a TFA Helmet. No edge trim, but this one had a webbing set up and a chin strap to keep it on and in-place

They don't normally have rubber, I'd say this was put on afterwards

Entirely unrelated, but, for the black ring around the neck of the helmet, is paint used or is an actual rubber gasket used? If it's a rubber gasket, where do people typically get them? I have left over trim from my ANH helmet, although, I dont know if this is the same.

This was super helpful. Thank you! I plan on trimming more pieces tonight

I don't have much return edge on my arms, although I do have some on the front of the forearms as they are quite thick on the front https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/gallery/category/32-specific-parts/ No return edges Chest/back/yoke definitely a return edge as you can see in this image No return edge thighs and shins

Nice work guys

Completed my 50th troop today.

The nurses asked if we could help promote Hand Hygiene day, our gloves weren't worn at today's troop to stop cross contamination. Hand sanitizers were at lots of stations throughout the wards.

It has begun! I started with the biceps. as they seemed relatively straight forward Before: After: So, I trimmed as the directions said, and they seem fine, however, I just got a bit concerned about return edges. I know for ANH TK's there's a ton of discussion and reference regarding what is correct. What seems to be the consensus for FO TK's? I also know that the gaskets add a bit of heft. I know the chest and back have some, but is it ok that I trimmed the biceps to the edge? I can attach more photos.

Cool cool. Thanks for the insight, I appreciate it!

I would do a lot to get a copy of thisk.

If you can find a copy this is a great watch Star Warriors https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2076340/, I've just about worn mine out, this and Heart of an Empire https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0455524/, when ever I'm in doubt about what I'm doing I watch these

I think you will find this is for the Rogue One and other series not FOTK, the ribs are a little small and FOTK don't have ribs around the tops of thighs, we have shinny shorts

50. 2024-05-03, Comic Con 2024, Stockholm (Hero) And then we have @Coil in his new Phasma!

Congrats on the 50! Sounds like you had a great troop bud!

Congratulations Eric! I'm sure @NoVATie will be around soon to upgrade your access!

Hey guys! Wanted some clarification on this, if it can be offered. I was on Keep Trooping, looking for boots, and found them have this "New Era Undersuit" https://keeptrooping.com/product/new-era-undersuit/ Does anyone have experience with this specific suit? I can tell that there is a gasket material on the knees and arms, however, I cant tell if the thigh material is shiny. Im still looking into the best gloves to get.

Troop #50 Glasgow Children's Hospital charity ward visit. Something I always associated with the 501st Legion was the visits to children's hospitals. Today was that day for me on my 50th outing with the Imperial Scottish Garrison. Like many before me have described this type of event brings it all home to what and why we do what we do. To bring something as simple as a smile to a child's face and their family at such difficult times of their lives is very special indeed.

Congratulations Jonatan 50 troops in such a short time is a fantastic achievement! Well done Sir your service to the Empire is most appreciated!
