Hi everyone, I’m new here and excited to be part of the FISD community. I’ve always admired the level of detail and craftsmanship that goes into building a proper TK, and I’m looking forward to learning from all of you. I’m based in Indonesia with Garuda Garrison, and I have a WTF TK ANH Stunt armor that I originally picked up back in 2016. I only recently managed to get around to building it this year, and it’s been a really fun process finally bringing it together. I’m also currently working on an RS TK ANH Hero build that I hope to submit for approval soon. Still plenty to learn and refine, so I’m glad to be in the right place. Thanks for having me! Jonathan

A while back i have always wanted to make a stormtrooper costume in a r1tk style but now I have finally come around to it. I have the soft parts and the boots from ImperialBoots I bought like 4 years ago. I plan to model all the armor pieces in blender with references from what I could gather on the internet pulled into PureRef and the Sideshow figure if i could afford it i would buy a 3d scanner and scan it from there. Photogrammetry would be hard with it being so shiny so ima just eyeball it. The only model that's the most accurate as others have found is DesertFareCosplays helmet on Etsy so I'll be using that with some of my own modifications to make it ever so more accurate. I anticipate this will be a several months long process so there's no need to rush it and hopefully then after some hard work i'll have a good costume.

Attached TKID + UserID Cheers!

I would think that the seam will be hidden under the belt. If it is, then it should not affect approval. Ultimately it is up to your GML though. For the ears and shins ABS paste, just sanding with incrementally increasing grit up to 2000 or so and then polishing, should remove the texture of the filling.

@gmrhodes13thanks a lot! I'm going to check it.

Welcome Jonathan.. It's Going to be A Greeaat Journey as a TK... Be prepared of the Joyful faces when they see (you) Stormtrooper .. small kids, big kids, ... Old kids..😁 For the Empire!! 🤘🏼

Finally, selamat bergabung, welcome to FISD. Good luck with your approval as a member of the 501st Legion.

Thanks for the help! I’ll start my thread hopefully soon. Getting ready to print the Akira Parts. I will also compare that parts I printed from Galactic Armory and are very dramatically different as well as in looks.

Yes, especially with the RS Kit since we trimmed it more accurate with my current body weight. The WTF kit was fine but since I had trimmed it in 2016, it’s not reliable enough with my current size, especially the thigh and abdomen parts. But surely will post my journey building this kits 🙏 Thanks for the support kind Sir

Hello and welcome aboard. You may find this thread very helpful A great way to get feedback and hints on your build is to post a build thread, for ANH Stunt go here https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/80-anh-build-threads/ Good luck with the build
