First I enjoyed the freedom of typing "cod" and "butt" without irony but thanks to KW we can now discuss boobs with abandon -Eric

Totally comes with both... even though the TD is the wrong size and a little weird. Jenny's right... it doesn't come with clips. -Eric

Don't forget about all the other supplies... elastic of various sizes, a ton of snaps, E-6000 glue, plastic or webbing for snap plates, paint for your ab buttons and maybe your helmet, some velcro possibly, rare earth magnets and/or spring clamps, lots and lots of blue painters tape for fittings, exacto knife, lexan plastic scissors, and a drill. With RT-MOD you probably don't need a dremel because it is mostly pre-trimmed but I trimmed my forearms and biceps down. Someday I'll do my thighs too. -Eric

Also... you can have overlap construction for EIB. It is the Centurion level where it is not allowed. -Eric

They make great lamps. -Eric

A ) The belt rivet cover thing... super funny. B ) Maybe this link will help you with your shins. -Eric

We still have such a thing. It has a handful of bill-o-grams in it too. It's the TK information post in the menu on the top of the site. -Eric

I think the C you speak of is your brow trim -Eric

Heck (or other non family friendly words) yes! -Eric Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I... uh...

I think the word you're looking for is "hotter" -Eric

ABS is plenty sturdy for trooping and much easier to work with. All you need are scissors, an exacto knife and a few files. -Eric

There are no plans to visit in person but the New England Garrison is certainly sending stuff. -Eric

Holy cats! In less than 24 hours we raised more money than we needed. I'm issuing at least two refunds to people who gave too much. Thank you FISD. You folks are the best. -Eric

I'm locking the thread before anyone else donates. I think we reached our goal but I won't know until I get home tonight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We're at $290. Only $80 more to go Thanks everyone. -Eric

Try these scissors from amazon. If you go to the hobby store instead ask for lexan scissors. You'll probably need some sand paper, an exacto knife and some small files. I think I bought a set of small files from lowes that came in a little rollup canvas thing. I'm not sure you'll need glue for your helmet but E-6000 is the glue of choice. You can get it at any home improvement, hardware or craft store. Pandatrooper's tutorial is just about all you need. -Eric

$178 so far. Very impressive troopers! -Eric

Here's a Bill-o-gram that shows rivet placement:

NO MORE DONATIONS ARE NEEDED WE HAVE REACHED OUR PLEDGE GOAL IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS. THANK YOU FISD! Aloha troopers, It's that time of year where we need to pay our website hosting fees. This year's bill is $370.77. I will update the total amount collected as often as I can. Please find it in your big white plastic hearts to Paypal (preferably as a gift) whatever you can afford to: Do put your forum name in the comments of the paypal transaction. When its all said and done you'll get a spiffy badge alongside your name: Thank you for your support, -Eric

Is there an echo here? What I was trying to say while typing with my thumbs is that you'll have large expanses of black undersuit showing given your long legs. That's why both Gaz and I recommended longer shins. -Eric

I have a full doopy that sits on my shelf. I troop with my hasbro because I don't care what happens to it and it makes really cool noises for the kids. -Eric Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I bet ata would fit around you without shims. Ap is the smallest in all directions for sure. I think the issue you'll run into is with the legs. You would probably need to buy longer shins from either RT or TM. However RT's color is slightly more white than ata. I don't know how well TM matches with ata. Good luck trooper and let us know what you decide. -Eric Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
