Q1: Correct! However due to the way the EI history page is set up though, Scott M. was the first person to be shown in the list, and in some ways really was the first EIB in that regard. You are otherwise correct Q2: Incorrect! Only the detachment founder get the Falcon as the background. Staff has the bridge of the super star destroyer. Q3: Correct! The last person though was Joey, TK MD from Bolivia IIRC. Q4: Correct! Q5: Correct! Q6: That statement is correct - the goal ever is to get more people to get EI, not Centurion, so we wanted to keep the incentives heavy for EI. People seem to go Centurion on their own. Q7: Correct! Q8: Correct! Q9: Incorrect! The reason is that the person who did the first EI coin run (tk533) made extras on the side, and was caught selling them at a nice profit on eBay. He was banned from FISD and the Legion, and we started numbering them after that to ensure it was impossible for that to happen again. Q11: Correct! Bonus! What was the first piece of FISD merchandise ever made, and who did the run? Glen, you really do win the prize for best work

My prefered method for every armor build I make is usually about the same: 1- Triming and Sanding All 2- Painters Tape pre asemble, test fit 3- Measure, Adjust and Glue, test fit 4- Assemble , Test fit 4-Add details (Rivets, Greeblies etc.) test fit 5- Final Test Fit TRIMMING Ready to start, Reference Gallery, Build threads from others fellow troopers, a Imperial Cup of Tea and of course Scissors and tons of plastic ahead Note: I'll try to be the more simple an clear as I can Lets start form Top. This sections has some excess of plastic both sides and I'll trim the low front section in a conservative way till the moment I start assembling. ABDOMEN Trimmed and Sanded CHEST Trimmed and Sanded CHEST COVER Trimmed and Sanded BACK SECTION Trimmed and Sanded KIDNEY SECTION. Trimmed and Sanded I'll make the middle cut later when assembling. BUTT SECTION. Anovos like Trimming. Trimmed and Sanded COD SECTION. Trimmed and Sanded Return to Index

yeah, thanks Glen. I saw that too but wanted to wait to see if was as obvious to others as it was to me. I'll get'em matched up.

Hiya, No worries, trooper. I only suggested it as they are the original sizes of the screen used suits and they show all the return edge sizes, where to cut the joins etc. However, if their sizes are too big for you, you don’t have much choice. As the front of the forearms, thighs and shins need to be the same anyway (only the back is adjusted if you need to make the parts smaller), I’d certainly try following the RS tutorials for the fronts. That should allow you the nearest look for this suit. You can then size down by trimming more from the backs of those parts. As you were, trooper. :-)

Awesome!! Thanks so much, Ill check out the Imgur and get some loaded.. I will admit I felt like a total badass with just the arms on while fitting.

That photo looks familiar lol Great work as always Glen.

FISD Patch Run, April 24, 2007 (can be found here) note it had the words “2007 Inaugural” in Aurebesh along the top. Only 100 were ever made Organizer ED TK4878 "Exodus"

Since nobody else took up the challenge 1) Who was the first person to receive an "expert infantry" award from FISD? The first "expert infantry" John TK2036 (although EIB was not in the thread title ) , the first "Elite" Joey TK2126, the first "Mark IV" Scott TK4149 2) On the (now broken) EI listing page, what is the significance of the background images? Each costume version had background from the movie it was from, command staff had millennium falcon in death star landing bay 3) Who was the only person to be approved with an FX helmet? I thought a few did, Scott TK4149, also poll to remove FX helmet from EI program here 4) Who was the first ESB EIB? Mark TK8993 5) Who was the first Centurion? Mathias TK2959 6) Why can't you have more than one Centurion award?, Couldn't find the direct answer, did come across one of your posts "There are some valid reasons why the Centurion is a single reward, and part of that logic is so that people don't get so wrapped up at the top that we lose our focus on getting the other 1800 TK's brought up to par." post is here 7) Why were the colors chosen for the Centurion award? Based on the Roman Centurion theme, you mention it here 8) What was the first piece of EI merch ever created? 2008 EI coin thread here coin image here 9) Why are EI coins numbered and why can people only buy one? A singular incentive to reach EI level, numbered for tracking purposes 10) What FISD costumes has no one ever gotten to EI (or Centurion) Stormtrooper Concept Armor

You will definitely want an enamel paint, rather than acrylic. Both should be very prevalent at your local hobby store. Trooperbay also carries the appropriate TK paints. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
