Congrats Frank! Welcome to Centurion!

Congrats Juan! Welcome to Centurion!

Paul hit the nail on the head here. It needs to be tilted forward and aligned better. Once that is done then you shouldn't have too much of a problem. If that doesn't help then you can glue some excess ABS pieces together and add them to the top of the shin. After that mount the sniper plate to that. It won't sit flush with your shin and stick out a little bit but it won't get caught under your thigh if you're still having a problem. You have to make sure your armor is comfortable first. Then as accurate as you want it second. Good luck!

Yes this is a very unfortunate situation that is going to effect many forum communities. I know it is very unlikely that people will go back in time to fix their threads but I plan to do so with my threads. I am also going to move this thread into the Tech Support Center instead of the current place.

Another excellent Newsletter! The forum really is great. It is becoming very user friendly. Congrats to the new Attache Award recipients!

Congrats Pete! Welcome to EIB!

Happy 11th FISD! Thanks so much Paul for making this amazing community happen.

Hi everyone. So I was just fortunate enough to get my hands on one of the new Hyperfirm Elites from Lewis. I'm really excited about it so I just wanted to make a post about just how awesome this blaster is. In my opinion the Hyperfirm is one of the best trooping blasters out there. I used to have one of the older Hyperfirms and I thought that was one of the coolest blasters and never ever had to hesitate taking it out on a troop and letting an attendee touch it or hold it. The kids would love it when you hand them your blaster for photos. Well with his new changes done to the elite it makes it even more nicer. The details are a lot sharper on the elite then the old model. There is now a defined hole in the muzzle where the old one did not really have too much of a hole. Even the greeblies are there and more defined. One of the more interesting aspects of his new blaster is that you can choose which scope you like (M32 or M38) and which size magazine you want. You may also choose not to have either scope put on and ultimately use your own. However, these are all decisions you would need to make before you receive your blaster. That is a cool added extra touch. It also comes with a D Ring so you can go Centurion with it. Take a look for yourselves. Here are some photos:

Hi Jay. You did a very nice job on your armor. Good luck with your application!

Congrats trooper! I know that building armor is fun but there is nothing like going out there and trooping. It is so much fun. Enjoy it!

That is pretty neat! I know it's a silly feature but I still think it's cool. Anyway we can change the settings so that you can actually see who likes your post instead of "somebody"? I don't know, I haven't seen anything about that.

Hi Kirill and welcome to FISD! Congrats on your armor purchase! Take a look around the other Anovos build threads to get an idea on how your armor comes together. If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask. Good luck and have fun!

I like the "like" function as well. Just like Chris said, to me it's like a yes I agree. Good Point. I concur. Well done.

Again very nice job Eric! It will take some getting used to but my garrison forum is very similar to this one.

I got it! I think I got it! Ok so Tony there is a little down arrow next to your avatar and name on the top right. Click it. Click on Account Settings Then on the left side you will see signature which is the last section. I haven't tried to edit mine but that is how you should be able to do it.

Hi Charley! Your armor is looking great! Do you have a closeup of your thigh ammo pack attachment? Good luck with your application

Nice job on your armor Shane! Good luck with your application!

I know it may be hard to tell but the information listed in the first thread is updated regularly. So it is up to date. There is stuff that pops up all of the time on ebay, etsy, and facebook. It's almost impossible to stay on top of it all. It is always just a good thought to stick to the vetted armor thread and read all of the information listed on all the pages there and in these getting started threads as well.

Yeah Adam a real nice fix to your handguard issue would be to contact Joseph and get a pair of his latex ones. They are very nice.

Excellent advice you have been given. MOT is a known recaster with a very poor product. Good luck on your journeys.

Hi Scott. The sizes on the anovos website are misleading. The armor is made the same for every person. You ultimately trim and assemble your armor to your body type. ATA and Anovos will be pretty similar size wise. Remember, stormtrooper armor was originally meant for a typical English actor who was 5'10"-5'11" and 165lbs. Pretty much every armor available has been made from screen derived armor which is the case for both ATA and Anovos. You could really look into any armor for your height and weight. ATA, AP, RS, MTK, WTF, TM would all be good choices.

Hi Christian and welcome to FISD! You have done a very nice job so far. Let us know if you need anything! Have fun!

Michael this isn't about forcing members to have more logins and passwords for websites. This is about organizing the groups of costumes to the correct detachment for the 501st legion. Many 501st legion members already have accounts for the other detachments as we love to acquire other costumes to volunteer our time and troop in.

So after finally catching up on this thread, I couldn't agree more with my pal Allan. We are all one legion. This Jedha trooper has similarities to the Sandtrooper and if the MEPD feels that this fits under their umbrella and it would boost their membership then I would be supportive of it. If you are a member of the FISD and never built a TD to become a member of their detachment, well then here is another opportunity to do so. Even though the FISD is THE home to many of us I would love to be a member of all other detachments as well. It is also very nice that two detachments can come together and have a productive conversation about things like this. I appreciate the MEPD guys coming over and participating. Please come back more often.
