I like the tune, Harlem Shake

@billy Yes indeed you are right. Your 2009 guide indeed does show the correct blue colour of French blue as the one to use And the guide clearly states that the old colour is midnight blue.

Well said.

@spectre It's not worth making a fuss over a $1 tin of paint really is it??? Application candidates can either choose to make their builds accurate or not. For a single TK, I suppose it doesn't matter, but when groups of TKs are together, they look awesome when then all look the same, like they are all off a movie set, like the uniform is from an army production line. The CRL cannot provide every single individual detail. It is up to the candidate to do some research. We are here to improve standards, the updated colour chart has been on the front page of FISD for many months. There are many so called suppliers of belts, holsters, blasters, helmets, armour, tube stripes, decals, frown mesh, eye lenses and buttons that don't supply accurate props. This is a problem for the buyer, but its not our problem. We are volunteer police to help guide and separate right from wrong. If you want to force my hand, then I can state that as it stands the supplier Vader Dave is providing ANH TK AB buttons with the incorrect shade of blue.

Midnight blue is the wrong blue to use these days. You have been following a 2009 guide which has long been updated and is on the main FISD front page under tutorials. French blue is a lighter blue, which is the one to use.

The minimum that you should do for this EIB application is... Attend to the AB button colours. Attend to the AB belt snaps so that your belt hangs correctly. Reduce the shoulder bell gaps between top of shoulder bells and ribbed shoulder straps.

Congratulations Trooper

Everything looks spot on to me including the belt height. No faults found and the armour sits and fits you well. You have totally exceeded EIB expectations and quality. Centurion very soon I suspect.

Now cleared as CTK 0451

Looking good Stevo

I'm looking forward to following your build thread and the end result. Are you planning to make your own helmet too as that will indeed be a challenge. I ended up using one of the bug eyed, butt nasty Rubies helmets for mine They are very cheap and unwanted. I managed to get it half decent for a kid by heating and re-shaping it, Cutting out the eyes and frown and by giving it a paint job. Hope that helps

Thank you Isaac

My son trooped with other Cadets today... He had his blaster set to stun, and managed to capture a princess He could appreciate the line "aren't you a little short to be a Stormtrooper?" He and I managed to show imperial strength together in capturing "Rebel Scum,"

You know Steve.... There's something not quite right about your Luke Suit. It'll come to me when I can put a finger on it.

Well done Nick. Congratulations.

That's great. As they grow so quick I totally understand that their suits can't be form fitted as they would outgrow it to quick and that would be such a shame.

Hi Dday, my son is 7 and 1.2m tall. The current TM junior was too big for him hence I went with this. Did you get the Current TM junior or one of the older ones? How big is your kid?

I've tried to make the best of the components I have. This is a re shaped and repainted Rubies lid. Painted Hasbro E11 Blaster Homemade Holster Hand painted boots, new shaped shins and cover strips Re-strapped torso, new shoulder straps and cut down bells It's been a fun build thread. I'm looking forward to trooping with my son next week as a TK and my daughter as Jango Fett and my wife spotting for us

Two reasons to hurry up and work on this again. 1. There's a kid friendly troop next weekend to get this ready for... Sat 2nd Feb 2013 2. The Galactic Academy website and forum will be up soon for new submissions Front view Right view Left view Rear View Action shot Lids off

You may have to change your name from ZeroCool soon to SomeCool Nice fix.

It's really easy and movie accurate to dye your own black boots white. No spraying is required if you don't want to go the spray route. I've just dyed a size 1 pair of Chelsea / jodhpur boots for my kids TK using the rub in dye. You will get a pair of boots that fit you this way

Hi Nick, loads of good detail in this app, even more than your EIB app and approval. I like how you've pimped out the inside of your helmet too. Good luck with your application. It looks like its just the thigh ammo pack rivet to ammend to a solid one or fill n paint.

Hi there, a couple of observations are.,, Ear bumps no rank stripe No black surround round ear bumps Holster loops incorrect over belt The thigh ammo pack seems to be incorrectly fixed to the thigh on the inside edge. Are both shins opening up with the same overlap? The overlaps are usually constructed to point towards the insides of your legs. If you were going EIB or centurion then I would also question the width of the cover strips in relation to your height and weight.

Congrats Chris.

Congrats Steffan.
