Looks very nice, crisp, and clean!

Hope you feel better soon and looking forward to this project. Also, Shawn is top notch and had helped many of us out in the past, myself included. Cheers to you both!

Well, the shadow Stormtrooper is actual part of the Spec Ops detachment, not FISD. You can find them here: http://www.501stspecopsdet.net
The armor itself looks like classic FX armor which can be approved, with some tweaks. I can't really tell from the photo but the helmet also looks like an FX which cannot be approved. Those are wonky and too large, called Frankenbuckets by some.
Anyways, the cost is about what it's worth but may not be all you hope for in armor. I'd go on the Spec Ops site and chat about it over there and you might even find a better setup that can be approved.
Hope this helps!

Looks like some of the elastic I've seen people attach, but hard plastic instead. Meant to keep the chest and the back together without strapping it to the kidney. Turns the chest into something you pull on over your head instead of clamshelling into.
The helmets are incredibly different. Here's what I noticed and just posted elsewhere.

Am I the only one that sees black lining on the chest piece of the stormtroopers?
Look closely at the center front trooper.
No, I think we all see it. Now, why is it there? Hmm...

Amazing job on the blaster. That looks and sounds awesome!

Christine, I'll ask some questions. Thank you for letting us know.
FYI: Not sure if FISD is still hosted on Site 5, but we were having similar problems on BSN and Spec Ops. I opened a ticket w/Site 5 support and they had to bounce our SMTP mail server. Now the messages are flowing great. Hope this helps!

The link is no longer active, just a 404 now.
But, here's a good one: https://www.inverse.com/article/15744-rogue-one-characters-ships-and-more-details-revealed-in-visual-story-guide-preview

I also used XTC-3D on my blaster and it works great. I detailed out the process in my build T5H thread. Mine was done on my own using 3D hubs to print the parts.
I think Heston is doing a decent blaster and puts a lot of time and effort into them. We went round and round about XTC-3D but I stand firm on my choice of using it. The stuff works and is designed to smooth over the zippering.
