Thank you all for the great replies! I will definitely spend some quality time researching - until I get my armour, I’m planning on replacing Instagram with Tapatalk, haha. Thank you for linking build supplies. I don’t plan on taking any shortcuts, so being fully prepared with supplies sounds great. I’ve got all summer to build and only (loosely) have a goal of having it done for Halloween, which is hopefully accomplishable. Whether I make it or not, I’ll have a clearer picture down the road!

Don't worry - needs some tweaks, but I'm on it.

I’ve been poking around my local garrison’s page for the last few years, and have decided against a sandtrooper for my first build in favour of a classic TK. I’m aiming for an approved centurion for when I turn 18 in March, so I have a bit of a journey ahead! Using the guidance from many helpful threads, I’ve contacted Mark (Authentic Props) and am getting a self-assemble trimmed kit. I’ll be logging my progress when I start getting things together and look forward to sharing the fun with everyone!

With a heat gun or oven you bend strips of ABS plastic into the shape of a V, only glue one side and the other remains free to allow movement when you bend. Just helps stop the butt plate from pushing back from the back plate.

So I submitted the photos and I was approved but because I’m anal about details I will fix these issues. Thank you for the feedback. Thanks Marcus TK-47129

The new forum badges look great.

FISD has many wonderful programs to help members build and submit costumes for our detachment, whether it be a classic Stormtrooper, a First Order Stormtrooper, or even one of the new Imperial Armored Commandos. While our Expert Infantry and Centurion programs get most of the attention, FISD staff wants to relaunch the Armorer Program (Currently called the Master Armorer Program). What is the Armorer Program you ask? Well, it is a program designed to recognize those troopers that go above and beyond to assist themselves and others in getting costumes built, submitted, and approved. One of the goals of all the detachments in the 501st Legion is to help members build and submit costumes that meet and hopefully exceed the minimum requirements of the Legion’s CRLs. Currently the Master Armorer program has the requirement of helping a minimum of 5 members achieve Expert Infantry status. The member must have spent at least 30min physically helping another member with cutting, gluing, sizing, etc, just because they want to help (no money exchanged). The definition of an armorer is “a maker, supplier, or repairer of weapons or armor”. So while we certainly love the feedback that members provide to others on the forums, and the extra steps some do by having video calls to help walk people through issues with their builds, this program requires hands on work. The new program will have the same physical help requirement, but we are going to move from a “wins” system, (where a win was help an individual for 30 min or more) to a points system, and we aren’t limiting it to only Expert Infantry builds. While we are pushing the Advance to 1500 to try and achieve 1500 Expert Infantry members, we recognize that the goal of the detachment is to get FISD members build, submitted, and approved. So we will be awarding points for Basic builds as well. Currently there are 3 levels of the award, FISD Armorer, FISD Senior Armorer and FISD Master Armorer. The new program will add a 4th level at the beginning called the Apprentice Armorer. The point scale will be as follows. 5 points - Apprentice Armorer 10 points - Armorer 20 points - Senior Armorer 30 points - Master Armorer The Armorer candidate would earn points based on what level the member costume they assisted with achieved. If you help with a basic build, you get 1 point, if you help with a EIB build you get 2 points. So a person to basic you get a point, help them again to get their EIB earning another 2 to a total of 3. The thought again here is that we want to help build as many stormtroopers as possible. If you love building armorer and love helping fellow members get their costumes built, then this is the program you’ve been searching for. We look forward to awarding more members with this award as we know how much we all love Troopers helping Troopers.

Taking Action Photos - Using the Right Background It makes our job a lot easier editing your images into frames if you use a contrasting blank background when taking your action photos for your EI applications. Contrasting is not using a white/light or black/dark background while wearing black and white, it just doesn't work. Also taking photos outdoors, in sunlight, in the garden or in front of brick walls really makes our job harder. A simple solution is using a colored sheet or a tarpaulin. Here are a few examples of backgrounds which make our job difficult Here are a few examples of backgrounds which make our job much eaiser If possible please try to use a contrasting background when taking your photos, your GML's and GWL's with also thank you for it
