Good news everybody! TK 5908 approved and ready for deployment Requesting detachment access https://www.501st.com/members/displaymemberdetails.php?userID=14695

Hi everyone! TK-30874 reporting in from north of Montreal QC. After looking to purchase a Stormtrooper Stunt armor years ago, I never pulled the trigger. Fast forward 3-4 years, and 2 other finished costumes and 1 other wip, I finally pulled the trigger on a ANH Stormtrooper armor from AuthenticProps, who is somewhat local. Wy did I wait so long! I already have a couple of troops in it and the smiles we get from the young kids (and way older ones lol) is worth the price, and 'pain' we endure. Now to get more troops under the belt and let's hope I can get it approved for the next levels!

What a way to break in your armor!! Well done. Hope these are the first troops of many in the white armor.

Oh man, Shock trooper BFFs!!! Love it.

Thank you sir! Much appreciated.

Ok, Hoping this works. That background is the darkest I have in my home. All the other walls are white. Steve https://postimg.cc/LYPyyRpD https://postimg.cc/FkQT8qF4 https://postimg.cc/5QqsV3jF https://postimg.cc/hh9yTSMP https://postimg.cc/QHh6qRng

Forum only has a small amount of space available so most of us use a free online photo hosting service, like Imgur, you upload your photos there then copy and past the link to them here in your thread. When taking photos try to use a contrasting background, your GWL will thank you as they have to edit them for the legion database

Hi Steve, here's a link to a guide for photo sharing on the forum. https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/42381-howto-post-images-in-threads-using-imgur-easy/

Updated

Here are a few submission photos with more coming. Having some technical difficulty posting at the moment. It is only allowing me to post one photo due to the size. It's a full RS set completely built by the RS team so should be all to spec. Steve Hamedl (TK 707, Florida Garrison, Everglades Squad)

Another phrase that should be familiar, as we see it fairly often in Legion. We also see "FISD" in Aurebesh somewhat often. The bottom word is only one letter off. T is upside down in Aurebesh. It's a down arrow basically. I is a 1. S is used often. It's an arrow pointing down to the right. F is upside down and slightly stylized. --------- More tomorrow.

I started posting these on the FISD Discord server and thought I might share them here on the forum as well. Discord makes sharing images really easy since you don't need to host them, but I can just throw these on imgur about as easy. But I digress. Lesson 1: a phrase most are likely familiar with. L, O, and N are very easy in Aurebesh, since they're so similar to English. L and N are backwards and O is a round triangle. G is laying on it's side. V is a Y in Aurebesh.

Formal request from TK-11544 of Colombia Garrison got 501st status. https://www.501st.com/members/displaymember.php?userID=33216&costumeID=124

Fire Team Dark Fury sounds awesome, carry on! @captsafe66's comments above should get you on the path to making your Fire Team official(ly-unofficial ha)!

Correct. We’re going with “Dark Fury” and nixing “709th legion”.

Ooh I might use this one today. My normal go to for hospital troops is: “What do you call Chewbacca when he gets chocolate stuck in his fur?” ”A chocolate chip Wookiee.”

It sounds like you are welcome to form a fire team, but the terms "Red Fury" and "709th Legion" would not be acceptable for inclusion in the name, as they are in use by D/LFL.
