Hello and welcome aboard, research is the key to this hobby and don't be afraid to ask questions, there's always someone around to help, good luck

Hi Vasco!!! Welcome to FISD! You can also get in touch with people from your Garrison, I know for a fact that there are very nice people (like Abilio Maia). Veja se pode vir ao Training Day deste ano em Espanha com a sua armadura de Trooper!

Greetings Vasco! Have a look here for anything you'd ever need to know about ANH Stunt Stormtroopers. Caleb has created an amazing index. And we have a list of makers here.

I will look at these in depth tomorrow Dino, thanks for the updates.

Hi Marek Glad to see your Centurion submission . One of us will be with you as soon as possible. Added to the processing line.

Good luck Marek!

Thanks! My kit was shipped today and I'm assuming I'll have it some time next week.

Hi James. Maybe I would paint the prongs in black.... Otherwise, it looks great....

Here's my L3 for comparison, I can't see any issues but see what our DO's say @Deployment Officer Team From the CRL Hook arms should be black and center stem silver Visual dictionary

Congrats!

So as promised here is a complete new resin build with working light

Can we put this up for a vote? I’m on my 3rd FOTK kit and the yoke has always been a problem. Recently I 3d printed the back/yoke and while trying to put it on, it snapped. Vacuum-formedABS doesn’t necessarily snap in that way, but it goes to show how much stress and repairs are needed in that area over time. There’s a reason why the Disney World troopers have the seam. It’s simply not easy to put on and take off. There are other CRLs that completely omit parts from level 1. Think the ANH stunt TK and the snaps/rivets. Seams IMO feel less important than components. And if someone is building a TK, “couldn’t they reasonably add snaps/rivets?” Let’s also not forget when the CRL allowed classic TK boots with the FOTK. It was an accommodation based on supply, but it was still an accommodation nonetheless. And at a much larger expense of accuracy than a seam. To me, this all comes across as exclusionary. We now have a new supply of FOTK kits that makes both the building process (no paint!) and the trooping much easier and accessible. It’s at the expense of a minor detail, but let’s be honest, the original kits were made of polyurethane which had flex capabilities. So if we are so stringent on accuracy then why aren’t we requiring poly kits? In summary: -We don’t have a supply of poly kits that flex -Current kits can be made to look like movie kits but break over time -People refuse to accommodate from the lack of supply of poly kits, but were perfectly fine to accommodate classic TK boots Makes total sense.
