Hi! I’ve been in the 501st Legion almost 2 years now. I’m in Saint Helens, OR with Cloud City Garrison. It was a bucket list must to join. My first costume was a gunner. In my earliest newbie troops, I thought, why aren’t there any stormtroopers ever?! I must fix this. So…despite being 5’4”, I invested in a kit. Many many modifications, a lot of swearing, and a little blood, I am very proud of my costume, and my friend who mentored me and helped me build it. It looks fantastic and proportionate. Day 1 ANH TK in the real world trooping was at a comic con in Portland, OR in our Star Wars experience. It was a hit. I had fun being a Luke sized TK. If I only had a nickel…!

Hello and welcome, thread moved to the FOBG You could reach out to makers of the armor, you can find them here

Hi all, Love this detachment and forum. Amazing folks here. I'm pretty quiet and more of a reader than a poster. I'm a longtime trooper (since 2002). While, I've been working on my Centurion ESB TK application, I was getting out some of my little inventions I've been using for trooping and my costume to have aside. Over the years, I've got a few ideas with pics that I thought I'd share in case it helps others or they want to use it. My hacks include: -Changing outside/inside -Using a changing tent for changes in the parking lot - imperial cog stencil used on black tent along with bar and puck light to tilt and light the inside of the tent -Changing inside maximizing space with a tub lid shelf- I use 4 white wood panels as poles which are used to elevate the lid of the tub to act as a shelf to put parts on -Time keeping -Using a black mini finger watch turned backwards - super quick way to check time on a troop -Trooping accessory - For troops with no blaster allowed, using black Police metal ticket holder with 501st Legion tickets to issue for civilians that say dumb things to us or 'break rules'. Ticket holder also allows easy storage and lid to lift to give out stickers, coins, patches, etc. -Changing inside and being able to check how armor looks- I've added plastic mirrors from Amazon and velcroed them under the lid of the tub to use to help address costume details. - Changing accessory - Mini travel spray bottles of Febreeze to help keep from smelling in the costume - I even took the Febreeze logo sticker off of a refill jug and glued it to the spray bottle so it looks official but lets you know what liquid is in there. -Blaster wrap - Imperial cog golf towel and mini velvet jewelry bags (for the ammo mag) with velcro wraps. A themed way to wrap blaster to prevent scratching armor but not taking up any extra space in the tub. -Helmet sound effect - Mini soundboard in helmet to trigger compressed air "Tssshh" sound effect when taking off bucket. -Sound - Mp3 player on blaster handle and blue tooth Bose speaker (which is really loud) which fits perfect and hidden inside the holster. I'll show these in some separate posts. Not all these hacks or ideas are meant for official/canon troops but could be used for fun events. Hope this helps anyone looking for new trooping ideas. Feel free to add any of your own! I'd love to see others!

Hello from Germany, I started this project in November 2025 using a pre-loved MFX armor kit that was in rather poor condition. Several parts had to be repaired and reworked before final assembly. The original helmet was replaced with an RS Propmasters Stormtrooper Stunt Helmet (kit), which was built to match the armor as closely as possible. As I am a slim trooper, extensive resizing and fitting was required to achieve proper proportions and a clean overall look while staying within the CRL requirements. The armor build is now complete and fully wearable. With this thread, I am asking for a pre-approval to confirm that everything is on the right track before submitting for official approval. My goal is basic approval. Any feedback or suggestions for improvement are very welcome. Thank you for your time and support. Thanks to the kind support of the troopers in this forum and the support of my local troopers, I was able to get this far. Many thanks! Known issues: My buttplate overlapps the thigh, esp. on the left side. Thighs on both sides may be to high. ---------- FULL ARMOR VIEW ---------- ---------- RS-PROPMASTERS HELMET ---------- ---------- ARMOR DETAILS ---------- ---------- BOOTS (DIY dyed leather) ---------- ---------- ACCESORIES ---------- Thank you

Thank you so much!!!

Some of those coins look awfully familiar

Hey Chemi, Fantastic to hear from you! I’ll get those outer rims painted shortly for you, and will post up an image once completed. Also, I am unable to see the four images you have posted. It says “content not viewable on your region”. Please see my image for reference: Perhaps it is because I am in the UK? Is there anything I can do to prevent this? I want to make sure I don’t miss any of your feedback. Thanks in advance, Chemi. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
