Here we are, finally submitted for approval - 3 years, 4 different FOTK suits owned(/sold), from 4 different armor makers, parts from over a dozen vendors, a new house and workshop, and a new baby along the way since I've started. Thanks for looking!

Oof that’s nasty, but good work so far. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Good news, my armour has been cleared. What a journey and massive thanks to all who has contributed on my thread (especially you Glen). It’s taken a while but never would have thought I would be able to build my own stormtrooper when I joined the 501st in 2021. The journey isn’t over though. I’ll be submitting my Expert Infantry pics soon and hopefully Centurion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So, aside from a few adjustments (tighter elastic to hold down shoulder bridges and kidney/ab overlap) I think I’m pretty much ready for basic clearance. Thoughts and suggestions welcome. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Today I decide to start my journey in creating my ANH Stunt Stormtrooper armor kit. I am already in contact with the GML in my country and I am receiving all the necessary support and advice. I hope to soon be part of the ranks of Outpost Venezuela as an official member of the 501st Legion and continue adding to this noble cause and fascinating universe of Star Wars.

Thank you! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great work trooper, congratulations, you can keep a record of your troops here (and there are some nice awards ) Instructions here

More cold casting done. This time, the counter. Casting had a single coat of flat black and then a little buff to take it back Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Congratulations Trooper!

Awesome!!!! Hope to see a troop log soon!

You are correct. They did make some interface changes last week and it does make you go through a few extra steps. I was in the middle of uploading a bunch of photos over a few days and they changed it midway through that. I was very confused for a second.

Congratulations Tim.

Congratulations!!!

Congratulations Trooper!

Well done Tim, and about bloody time !!!!! See you at an event very soon .

Congratulations!!!!!!

You are most welcome, that's what we are here for. Congratulations trooper and well done

A very nice update indeed

Well, actually, D.O.s don't just follow the CRL. If you look at the reviews, we always say the following: "please keep in mind that we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions." However, we never ask for a photo with a measurement scale to check that everything is OK, we only ask to correct the TD in the case that it is clear that something is not measuring what it should... We can also be wrong. We may think something is wrong and it's really ok... The CRL states(L1, Basic): -The total length is approximately 7.50" (190.5mm). -End caps are approximately .78" (20mm)in width. I think RS should not send the clips screwed on in the kits, because when you glue the end caps, it can happen as in your case. You could have glued them without inserting them all the way and you would have had the millimeters you needed... What glue did you use? If it is cyanoacrylate, it will be difficult to remove it...

Hi everyone, it's been a while! So, as always I have been looking to improve on my builds. Recently I have been working on cold casting the scopes. Step 1 was to cold cast in brass Step 2 was to overlay with a coat of matt black Step 3 was to buff the black back Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Tomorrow, Sunday the 25th of February, at 15:00 GMT there'll be a meet-up in the Discord Video Chat. If you're interested in seeing a few familiar faces from the forums, chatting about Stormtroopers, Star Wars and FISD, and maybe even getting to know a few troopers, feel free to join! I'm looking forward to seeing you there! And don't worry if it doesn't work out this time, we're aiming to have this as a regular event with and will be having this at different times and dates in the future to allow everyone to join in.

Same, same but different

Looking forward to seeing the big brow boxes and the updated DLT-19

Crossing a few things off my bucket list

Edits made to include full body photos. Submission should be complete. David Gdula David G TK-15028 Garrison Carida, Eastern PA Armor = AM Helmet = AM Blaster = Trooper Bay Height = 5'10" Weight = 185 lbs Boots = Imperial Boots Canvas belt = RobKittel (Imperial Issue) Hand Plates = JustJoseph Electronics= ICOMM Neck Seal = Trooper Bay Holster = Trooper Bay EIB Submission Reference Notes on this Centurion submission Some pictures were from my EIB submission, I am providing the correct images of relevant changes. For those who commented on the images I incorrectly included, please accept my apologies. Items requiring correction or suggested changes based on DO and expert feedback from EIB submission are titled in green. Many thanks to the DOs and others for your patience with the changes! Full Body It was requested that I submit new full body shots with the modifications made. The shoulder bells were brought closer to the torso as shown in the front and back shots. The difference in the appearance of the belt height is due to the angle of the photograph compared to the photo showing the correction. Armor Details Corrected Shoulder Bells Shoulder bells were too far out as non-snapped end was glued-in-place. The reference image was provided for illustration. Installed Velcro in bells for adjustment as needed, see results in full body shots, above. Corrected Ab Plates Requirement for the large ab plate was that it have an obvious border edge, unrounded at the corners, that did not extend past the protruding base. The reference image below was provided. I prepared a new large button plate rather than try to correct the old one. It was suggested that the small ab button plate be trimmed as in the reference image. I did so. Corrected Belt Position The ammo belt needed to be brought up in the center as per the reference image. I utilized the recommended Velcro strategy to prevent sag in the center of the belt as shown below. Correction of the Sniper Plate The sniper plate had excess material at the top edge, which is not screen accurate; the following images provided suggested reference. I cut the sniper plate as indicated to conform to the suggested trim lines and reference images. Correction of the Thigh Ammo Belt The top edges were rounded, which is not screen accurate. The curved edge at the bottom was shown to not be screen accurate as the curve was too pronounced. Reference images were provided as below. Proportional analysis of the photo was done and a new ammo thigh belt was fashioned to conform to those ratios. The angle is moderately rounded and is not a straight cut. Correction of the Helmet For Centurion, it was suggested that I raise the brow on the helmet as shown below with the yellow markings. I have redone this part of the helmet as shown below. This suggestion made a significant impact on the look of the armor! Accessories Blaster Two additional photos taken with different lighting showing a gloss black handle with no weathering: Thanks to everyone who provided valuable feedback on the changes to make to achieve EIB and the improvements I would need to make to apply for Centurion. Thank you for the patience with me as I got photos ready in the time of COVID-19. It was not the easiest to do. Thank you to the DOs for your consideration with this application! Respectfully, TK-15028

Hi David, and thank you for your Centurion application! CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: All required photos have been submitted, and on behalf of the entire D.O. staff we are pleased to welcome you to the rank of Centurion. Congratulations! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly; In this area we review observations made by your fellow troopers and the DO team. Some observations may lead to suggestions to improve the overall look of your armour. Note that we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions. Well done Trooper !!! ***************************************************

Beautiful build brother. Good luck. You got this.
