Please everyone join me in congratulating Joseph as the incoming DL of our fine Detachment. Congratulations, Joseph, I look forward to seeing what the next chapter for FISD will be under your direction. The membership is in good hands, and I am here to support you with what ever you need, as I am positive any of the staff existing and new into the future will. Once again, congratulations

Yeah the base of the image is Anovos' armor diagram, and then Tony (ukswrath) added in the measurements for this AWESOME thread HERE. I also slightly modified them to remove the round numbers to make the images less busy when I used them on my thread.

That is correct, you get basic approval to then apply for Expert Infantry, then you can use the Expert Infantry approval to apply for Centurion Good luck on your approval, the costume is looking good

Congratulations Joseph!!!!! And a massive thank you to Andrew for all the great work as DL the past few years. FISD is is great hands.

My name is Josh... I'm a Star Wars-aholic... I've been with the 501st since 2022 as a Revenge of the Sith Darth Vader. I've currently got 3 costumes in various stages of completion (hence the "aholic" moniker) above... TK, Tank Trooper, and Imperial Officer. I'm finally getting the ability to put together my ANH Stunt starting in February at an armor party. I've got a second hand Walt's kit that never got beyond some very minimal initial trimming, so everything is still mostly in its untrimmed form. I've been following the WTF ANH Stunt Build thread and I've got about everything except for some of the soft parts (strapping, velcro, etc.) that I will be procuring this weekend (my daughter gets an employee discount at JoAnn's... YEAH!). I'm looking forward to another lovely costume that it's difficult to see and sit in !! ...sitting, yeah, that is what the Imperial Officer costume is for... lol!

Greetings fellow members, It is my pleasure to announce the two newest recipients of our Imperial Attaché Outstanding Achievement Award. This honor is bestowed on Attachés who go above and beyond the call of duty in their role as an Imperial Attaché, and both of these troopers have consistently exemplified the qualities warranting recognition. Arthur @giskard8 - TK39093, Hong Kong Garrison A seasoned veteran of the Detachment, when Arthur is not trooping he can be found welcoming new members to the forum and congratulating our new and higher level approvals. His actions contribute to the long tradition of FISD being the friendliest forum in the Legion, and no doubt Arthur will continue to consistently be at his Attaché post! Today we salute your unquestioned loyalty, Arthur! Gerald @Doggydoc - TK96004, Canadian Garrison It's nearly impossible to sneak in a new member introduction or special approval post without Gerald jumping in and welcoming the aspiring builder or joining the celebration of the new approval. He is also known to provide valuable input and helpful feedback throughout the forum. Today we salute your unquestioned loyalty, Gerald! Please join me in congratulating these two troopers!

I have the ab section altogether and gold leaf ordered. That's next up, going to try for this weekend!

Blaster arrived from Imperial Arms.

Not vendors as such, but there is a guy who has done some really nice work on his own Kama. I haven't delved deep into his vs accuracy, but he has shown them off in a video that you may find interesting. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1360466424601222

They should be listed on your local garrison staff page

Thank you Paul, that's awesome.

I always found this diagram helpful too.

Way to go Joseph! As you know being a DL is a marathon, not a race, and you've been training for this for years. I'm sure you'll be a stellar, amazing, and highly effective leader for this detachment. The fact that you ran unopposed is a testament to your dedication, and the positive relationships you've built throughout the years. Your contributions to FISD are noteworthy and of singular accomplishment. I can't wait to see what you do next. Seems like I'll need to go to FL for a staff breakfast in 2024!

Awesome! Congrats brother. Just the man for the job

Congratulations Joseph!!!

Congratulations, Joseph! I'm very much looking forward to this next year

Happy February 2nd!

Thank you for this award, it is a true honor. I certainly have no idea why on the Death Star I deserved this, but I will take this as an encouragement and continue to server our community with pride. One thing I like to report on a project I am currently working on; I am making a series of video guide, localized in Cantonese about DIY a Stromtrooper. This project is inspired by our late FISD member CableGuy (Dan), I hope to follow his footsteps on documenting the building process and introduce the collective wisdom of FISD to Cantonese speaking Star Wars fans in Hong Kong, UK, Canada and other countries (yes, we are now scattered all over the world), hoping to make a connection and keep the Cantonese language alive at the same time. I planned six 25mins episodes of A-Z introduction and will move on to do a new kit TK/TD after that, the series is now into its 2nd episode and I am currently making the 3rd one. I will make a thread and report on the progress in the Chinese section under "Imperial Embassies".

This is cool. https://ew.com/ahsoka-captain-enoch-wes-chatham-goes-behind-the-mask-8548945

These are wonderful! Do you have stencils for the tears and traps too?
