RogueTrooper

If it was up to Lucas they would have been like all the clones and GC'd. He may get a itch and do that some day...... Now when you hear 'idealized' TK on the FISD, that means without: cranks, glues runs, chipping paint, no gaffer tape, shoe haif painted, etc.... 'Idealized' just means that whatever type of TK (ANH, ESB ROTJ) with any of the movie set problems. Because they all have there movie set problems but that is somewhat makes them cool too.

Still want you to meet you and work in a shot with everyone the is FISD (no matter if you have your # or not). Saturday will be the Big group shot with all the Legion. Plus the Designation group shots. That is the time we are hoping to do the FISD shots as well.......

Awesome to hear Anthony !!! Welcome to the Legion.

Hey Scott, Basically we are going to do one or two photos with all the FISD that have their TK#.... But I will try to work it out so we can have a few photos one of which you can jump in and be apart of since you are a FISD member as well and working to become a 501st TK

Cool looking forward to meeting you man!

Hey all, We are going to get a separate shot just for the FISD members that are attending C6. We are at the moment working out the details and will update you on where, what and when.....(please stay tuned) But, I need you now to post here to get a head count on whom is attending C6, so we can coordinate the FISD photo shoot. Looking forward to seeing you all at C6!!!!!!!! Tom Very Special Guest for the photo shoot (one whom help bring to life the TK, Vader, and C3po to name a few) Brian Muir (vadersculptor) We are honored to have you be apart of this Brian, Thank you. List of FISD members for the FISD TK Group shot: Tom (RogueTrooper) Brian (TKrestonva) Paul (Daetrin) Luis (Bobojoice) Olga (Bereu99) Ingrid (LadyinWhite) Terrell (SuperTrooper) Tray (Tray) Mike (TK1636) Craig (Hyper) Christian (v7sg) Mark (captsafe66) Eric (The White Knight) Terry (Terry19D) David (davej) Andrea (Andrea11) Bill (grindking) Lou (Darth Voorhees) Ian (jedicouncil333) Kyle (sidious1) Rusty (Jeepfrog) Mark (Mobus) Non 501st TK but is a FISD member additional shot: David (Dizzydevil105) Scott (nicksevere)

Awesome Jason!!!! I missed out on this troop (wanted to be there), but was at another troop the day before and then committed to helping with some armor builds Sunday.... Maybe next time! great pix man!

Congratulations and welcome to the Legion, man!!

Congrats Serge!!!

i feel it is a ez for the Centurion (your TK looks good and you have all the check marks) Mathias will be in shortly to give his voice..

There are things that do not add up with any of the Legends Editions (any of them), that concerns me on the where they originally came from.....Can you say holy forgery Batman....

Great job Renata, If you do what Brian said, you should be in top notch shape with your TK.

Like you have it in the first pic you are do in right.. If you need to trim more take it off the part of the forearm that does not have the ladder/dimples design. Like TM said above for ANH/ESB: Biceps were the only part that did not have the ridge design. Forearms did have ridge details on the side that has the ladder/dimples design. Thighs have the butt joint with ridge details on the front (with covers strip) and just the cover strip in back covering the butt joint (no ridge detail on back.) Shins have the butt joint with ridge details on the front (with covers strip) and just the cover strip in back where you clamshell them closed.

Honestly I don't believe that the Legends Editions (DV and the Hero TK) are really what they are saying.........I think they are not telling the truth about where these came from (the real origins).... Smoke screen to sell something at a higher price.. I got a feeling about them and where the helmets that they used as models came from....

hey Bryan, you are going in the correct direction . Once you get one side glued and let set. then you can force/put the other side to match really without doing any heat gunning... I would trim a little bit more off the elbow return edge (little to none is needed) and all of the wrist return edge. The will help with putting the to part together when you get ready to glue the edge up.

One of the guys in my Garrison had the same troubles with his Shoulder bells pulling down. I took and made him a black elastic strap that runs across the upper part of you back/ shoulders from one shoulder bell to the other. The black elastic strap was long enough to keep them from drooping/ pulling down and you still have them connected to the strapping that hold your chest and back plate together, but does not put it out from under the bridges. it corrected this problem.

Hi Logan, basically the major differences with the ANH stunt to Hero is the helmet. The handplates styles that are seen through out ANH is just two variations. The title "Hero' and "Stunt" for the hand plates is not correct (even in the photo below), but a lot of people use it to name the different styles. They should only be called ANH "variant one" and "variant two" ------------ Han Solo had a mix of two variations (one on one hand and one on the other) and a few Stunts had this as well. Luke hand the common (A.K.A. Standard/Stunt) of the two variations 99.9% of the TKs wore. So you would be good to go it you want to use either variation of the ANH handplate. Now about the modding you ATA stunt into a Hero style. it can be done but here is what you will need to do it to make it correct: Mod the frown to have 6 teeth total (this will mean that you will need to fill in a reshape the frown on the ends) Mod the ear bumps to have the correct number of bumps (3 per side) Have only 2 screws per side Bubble lens It can be done, with work, or you could look into one the vendor/makers that make a Hero helmet kit. TM RT-Mod Gino I know there is one more but my brain cannot think of it at this moment......

Have you checked with TKboots to see if they can make you a pair in your size? http://tkboots.com/ If you have not, email them and see........

Thank you Paul for founding the FISD and all of you for being a part of the best TK forum!!!!!!! Here's to the next 6 years!

From the DL Discussions and polls results for the TK requirements FISD - The Friendliest Forum on the Net! Building Connections: Legoland Billund 2012 Troop Of The Month TK Of The Month Swag Report Greetings All, This month marks the 6th year for the FISD. Paul (Daetrin) flip the switch on July 6, 2006 and the Stormtroopers had a home. So, I would like to thank Paul for starting the whitearmor.net and all that you, the members have done over the years to make this forum a great place. Now, we have passed the mid-way point of the year and I just wanted to re-cap what has happened in the first part of the year and some of the things that will be happening in the second half of 2012. We have had some great discussions about the TK requirements and the poll results for the discussions are in an article within this newsletter. Right now, work has commenced on revamping the requirements in order to make them more understandable. One of the major discussions this year concerned Grand fathering the FX helmet. The MEPD and the FISD both are for this and we were waiting to see if Spec Ops wants to be a part of this addition to the requirements.. At this time it is only the two designations, the TK and TD, that we will be presenting to the LMO for addendum to the requirements. The FX helmet has been a part of the Legion almost since the inception of the Legion. However, the discussions and polls show that it is time to move forward and leave the FX helmet in the past. We will keep you updated on this matter. Moving on, this year is the 35th anniversary of A New Hope. To commemorate this milestone , we have added an additional Forum skin (background) that will give you that nostalgic feel of seeing your favorite white clad soldier on the silver screen. A big round of applause and a pat on the back goes to Lucas (ZeroRoom) for his work on this project. So if you want to, just click on the "Change Theme" at the very bottom left of the forum and then click the A_NEW_HOPE. Then you will be able enjoy the ANH 35th skin. Two major events will be happening at the end of next month. Celebration 6, will be held in Orlando, Florida and will start August 23rd and run through August 26th, 2012. Then, Dragon Con will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, Labor Day weekend, August 31st through September 3rd, 2012. I am hoping there will be some great turn outs for the FISD members and all will be putting their best TK foot forward and show the pride of the Stormtrooper. I also know a lot of trooping is going on in the summer time. There are a lot of events happening outside. I just want to take an moment and say, be sure to keep yourself hydrated, look out for your fellow trooper while out in the heat. I want to congratulate the Fire Teams that have already done some troops . Especially Fire Team 500 for having 5 official troops in the month of June. If you have not started up your Fire Team yet or joined one, it is a way for any TK to have some great fun and camaraderie with fellow TK’s. For information on starting or joining a Fire Team, please check out the Fire Team area of the Forum: http://www.whitearmo...p?showforum=130 I would like to welcome Ingrid (LadyInWhite) to the FISD staff. She is now one of the Public Relations Officers and she will be helping with our Facebook, Twitter, and the newsletter. So lets all give her a round of applause and wish her the best in her staff position. We look forward to the second half of 2012 and watching the EI’s build toward 300, and more of you taking the next step to Centurion. Lets make the second half of the 2012 an impressive, most impressive time for all TK’s With Unquestioned Loyalty, Tom Gardner TK5940 “RogueTrooper†Executive Officer Greetings All, In the past several months, there have been discussions and then polls taken for those discussions for updating the requirements for the TK costume, mainly for the basic level. The TK costume requirements are something that have needed attention for awhile, not only for the new recruit and Legion member to help them better understand the costume , but also to help make the GML’s job easier. Consistency is what we are striving for and I believe we have made strides towards that with the discussions and polls. So I would like to thank everyone that participated in the discussions and polls. Poll: Basic Requirements Concerning visible rivets / fasteners Discussion - 95% in favor Poll: Basic standards for the thermal detonator - 96.97% in favor Poll: ROTJ Details Basic Requirements - 95.45% in favor Poll: Basic standards for the kidney and butt plates - 86.96% in favor Poll: Basic Requirement Belt Amendment - 100% in favor Poll: Basic Holster Requirement Amendments - 90% in favor Poll: Centurion Level Requirements for the E11 - 70% in favor My next phase is to start updating the CRL’s with the information derived from these polls and discussions. After I finish writing the requirements, I have several members that have stepped up to help translate the CRL’s in to other languages to try to make the information global, since the Legion is world wide. There are still languages that do not have a translator yet. Here is the link if you do speak and read another language and want help your fellow TK's.:http://www.whitearmo...showtopic=18935 Again, I want to thank everyone who took time to participate and please look in the near future for the updated CRL’s. With Unquestioned Loyalty Tom Gardner TK5940 “RogueTrooper†Executive Officer As many of you have probably noticed, when compared to other forum's on the net, FISD is one of the friendliest places you could be a part of. We are lucky enough to have so many talented people with years of know how willing to help new and old recruits alike to make their kit the best it can be. This is something that I believe we are all very proud of. People with less knowledge are never ignored or treated in a patronising way for asking simple questions. Everyone wants to help their fellow members and pass on the tricks and tips that they can offer. It can be tough sometimes when you have worked hard on a project to be told that there are things that could be done differently or better but that is what this place is great for. Troopers helping troopers. If people were not honest and just told everyone that their project was great when really it had some room for improvement then we would have an Emperor's new clothes kind of situation, and I'm sure none of us want that. Another thing that the members of FISD seem to be great at is giving constructive criticism in a friendly and respectful manner. This seems to be a rare thing on forum's and is one of the great things that puts FISD in a different league. Lets all do our best to keep that attitude alive in our trooper family.Telling someone how to do something better in a respectful way always works better than telling them it's not very good and offering no solution. We are all here for the same reason, to look our best in the white stuff. With Unquestioned Loyalty, Rob Kingman TK7545 "Matt Black" Deputy Provost Marshall Every year Legoland hosts Star Wars weekend, and for the third year in a row now, Nordic Garrison has been invited. With us we bring several other nearby, and some not so nearby, garrisons. This year we had the good fortune of having Nordic Garrison, German Garrison, UK Garrison, Dutch Garrison, Austrian Garrison, Polish Garrison, Swiss Garrison and Rebel Legion present counting ~100 troopers. Legoland definitely represents one of the larger international troops in Europe, as you can see by looking at the attending garrisons. It's not the largest troop by numbers. Both the UK and Germany pull off some really large events with twice as many troopers. But Legoland in Denmark certainly draws a very mixed crowd of troopers, showing once again how the love for Star Wars transcends borders. Mathias Rodstedt TK-2959 "Locitus" Deployment Officer This month's TOTM was chosen because it is a classic example of (as the kids are fond of saying) "How we do." Many of the past TOTM may have been more glamourous or very envious. This one highlights the 501st's dedication to giving back in as many ways as we can. In spite of a basic charity walk being one of the most common appearance requests throughout the legion, because of their impact they should not be overlooked. Charity walks are also one of the easiest for us to participate in. Put on costume, walk around, have your photo taken, walk around some more, and go home having helped raise money and awareness for a worthy cause. Our buckets go off to Jenny (TK-9496) and the rest of the Bloodfin Garrison for your dedication and willingness to walk in circles for a good cause. Also congratulations go to Indyrebel (TK-5305) for his recent 501st approval and picking this TOTM as an excellent first troop. Jenny and Rick posing in front of the SS Minnow R2-Lavender draws a crowd Hugs are a common reaction to white plastic It's like NASCAR but walking and for an actual purpose (note more hugging) Bloodfinners With Unquestioned Loyalty and Aloha, Eric Brager TK9674 "Darth Aloha" Chief Tactical Officer Congratulations to Brian Anderson (TK7602) AKA Stormtrooperguy, on being TK of the month! Brian has been a Legion member since 2003. His first costume was a Stormtrooper and he has gone on to do twelve 501st costumes to date, including the very first approved Deathtrooper for the Legion. Even though he has twelve Legion costumes, I believe Brian is truly a TK at heart. Or at least from the photo below, ate someone's heart......LOL!!! Brian has been a very dedicated 501st member and held the LMO position up until the past couple of weeks when he stepped down to have more time to spend with his family, especially since he and wife had their first baby, a girl, earlier this year. Brian did an excellent job and took the LMO position to a new level. He was involved with the Stormtrooper costume and worked with the FISD to try to make the costume better. The Legion truly has a gap now that Brian is no longer a part of the Legion Command Staff. I am sure that everyone joins me in thanking Brian for all of his hard work and dedication . We wish him the best in all of his future endeavors. With Unquestioned Loyalty, Tom Gardner TK5940 “RogueTrooper†Executive Officer The cross Detachment swag is still being worked on....I know it seems like it's been a long time ago....But, we want them to be impressive, most impressive, so have have Jedi patience...soon be here they will.... Spring run for the patches is closed. But, if you are wanting one, there area few in hand. So you best hyperspace over now, cause the Jedi mind tricks don't work on anyone after they are gone. This includes the new Centurion colored FISD logo: We still have 9 EIB Fifth anniversary coins left!!!!!! Once they are gone , they are gone!! And a galaxy full of other awesome 1st Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment swag can be found here. Don't Forget We're on Facebook and Twitter!

With the FX lid you can use the Hard Hat liner. I like the and use the Baseball helmet foam. I just used Velcro to hold it in.
