Hey everyone, This build thread is a long time coming. I have a KB Props FOTK (TLJ) kit and am building as an Executioner. Armor/Helmet - KB Props Gaskets/Harness/Shorts - Geeky Pink's Phantastic Gaskets (My amazing garrison-mate Teresa) Boots - Imperial Boots Laser Ax - 3D printed parts courtesy of the Edmonton Public Library (EPL) SE-44C - TBD (likely 3D printed by another member of the Badlands Garrison) This is my first full foray into building a costume. My ANH TK was a commission that I did a little work on the achieve EIB. Pictures of build progress too follow...

Maybe some rebels work there....

DANG those look awesome, Jonas! So glad to see no return edges!

Welcome!!!! I'm a newly approved member of the 501st as of September. This past summer I built my first set of armor with the help of all these awesome people her on the FISD! Listen to the advice and always ask questions if you're not sure about something. No question is stupid or unimportant. Chances are someone has dealt with whatever problem you're having. Also, be open to changing your feelings about things. I found myself so sure of something then to be shown that I was wrong or misinformed. Trust the process and your fellow crazies. We are here to help. Check out my build thread and good luck on your journey!

If you mean the actual Mandalorian character, when eventually added to the 501st roster it would more than likely be in the Bounty Hunters Guild. https://thebhg.net/

So, I got my package from ATA today, took a while. In it contains new ears and a thigh ammo belt. I might need to order new ab buttons as it was revealed to me through Josephs new CRL guide that I would need to change them. All in due time.

For most parts you can fit them yourself... a roll of blue painter's tape and a full length mirror will be your best friends for this. It does help to have someone when getting fully kitted up, but is not a 100% necessity. I would highly suggest starting your own build thread, and here is why: 1. You can ask as many questions as you like. As Erick stated, "No question is stupid or unimportant" and you will get more responses. 2. You can (and should) post progress pictures, and lots of them! This especially helps when you have an issue. Seeing an actual photo makes it MUCH easier to help. 3. Keeping everything in one thread helps you (and us) keep track of your progress. 4. Since others may have a similar issue or question it can help them as well. One thing to keep in mind is that building a quality set of armor takes time. Like all of us, I'm sure you want to get it done and start trooping, but rushing leads to mistakes. When in doubt, always measure twice (or more), and ask for advice before cutting. Consider this a marathon and not a sprint and you will come out with a truly spectacular set of TK armor.

Making strapping for my Shocktrooper so I thought I would upgrade my thigh support for my TK at the same time. Changing to a belt as opposed to attached directly to my ab armour. Look mum no hands Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

thanks, have got some new mesh and will fix this weekend.

Here is my question on these... If Biker Scouts can have those cool speeders that hover above the ground and can reach ridiculous acceleration, why are we stuck with a vehicle that has treads? (Fun though they may be).

There are a couple threads where we are discussing these changes, yes. We’ve already started fixing links/images/titles, or archiving things that are too far gone (links to dead sites/images/etc.). Any major changes (like merging forums) are being kicked out to the member area for input, lest it be unpopular.

It’s all business at this point. Vendors that don’t meet expectations will lose and sadly fail. Those that do will gain what the others lost. I don’t want vendors to not succeed, but at the same time services need to be provided and met in a business. I wish there were more FOTK vendors who were solid out there. This kit seems to be the most difficult to meet demand.

Stumbled across this thread today, and I actually have a friend going to GE this weekend. He asked me if I want anything from there, so assuming it’s still available, I’d be happy to get some and ship them to any of you guys. Cost plus USPS First Class shipping. Now if only I could convince my friend to join me with his own TK build... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One important thing: If you post your photo(s) here on the FISD using imgur, you must leave them in your Gallery. If you delete them from your Gallery, they can/will disappear from here as well.

I remember seeing a thread about this, Dave is the new vendor for AM armor, vetted and reliable.

Sorry to hear your frustration Phil, nothing worse than vendors that don't deliver, sadly we've seen a lot recently. Glad to hear you're receiving refunds and a new opportunity to finally build your kit. Looking forward to your build

Congrats Ardeshir fine job brother

Have 2 FX helmets, been working on one (Right one) but under further investigation I am noticing that the one I'm working on does not have as many sharp edges as the one to the left (The frown for example). I have been looking them over for ever and can not tell if one of them (or both) is a recast or not. So I desperately need all the help I can get because I am still very new to this stuff.... Thank you... Here is a Hi-rez image. http://i.imgur.com/m31UjkF.jpg
