Thumpy~

I referenced some of these videos during my build. They helped me with the “how” type questions. What TK1636 does may not be perfect, but at least, it’s visually helpful as a guide. https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCeDunMes3e0wQn8_ns-ma4g

Welcome Bobby! Contact the LMO team for costumes with no CRLs. They should be able to effectively answer your questions. https://www.501st.com/members/LegionOfficers.php

Welcome Jameson! I think a lot of us experienced that “trooper’s bloopers “moment, “like, man why did I do that?” Part of the fun and learning process! don’r forget to request Detachment access if you haven’t already done so.

You mean these dudes? If not, can you post pics?

100% Pure Awesomeness!

Harbor Park Star Wars Night with the Norfolk Tides in Norfolk, Virginia, on June 30, 2018 I used a Pyle body cam to take pics below (both edited/unedited). See WIP for details on the camera.

Made the GML’s job very easy! Congrats on finishing!

Nicely done Jonathan!

ABS paste will crack if there is enough stress over time try PC7. Let it cure. Then apply some white duck tape. https://www.amazon.com/PC-Products-27776-Two-Part-Multipurpose/product-reviews/B0002GU0QG/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_viewpnt_lft?ie=UTF8&linkCode=xm2&showViewpoints=1&tag=pcepoxy-20&filterByStar=positive&pageNumber=1

I second that. consider doing a Sky Trooper in the future? Combines the worlds of Mando, TK, and Tie. You’d work with fiber, bondo, putty, PC7, and/or abs paste, and lots of SANDING, priming, painting, and some prop-building too. I just wanted to throw it out there.

Hi Lynn, just happened to see this 3D printed rifle on Etsy. Perhaps send the seller a question about it’s weight and other features to see whether it meets some L1/L2/L3 criteria, at a minimum, as part of your research? ----------

Pretty slick stuff!

Hi Chris and welcome! If indeed you wish to build armor, take a look at the various armor and important considerations involved in choosing at this link: If you don't want to build your own armor, at least, you'll have some minimal knowledge at purchasing stuff that people have made and are willing to sell. https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/41-imperial-commissary-px/ But the only real knowledge that one could possibly gain is when the armor is built by you. If you choose this route, there are lots of folks who will assist you. In my opinion, it's worth the money you'd be spending on any armor made by someone else. Hope this helps.

Happy day indeed!

or some comparable fabric paint. I used this type of paint for a rubber clone belt years ago.

Pre-congratulations on your L1 approval! Onto L2 and beyond!

One can find some great stuff in the junk box/bucket at these hardware stores. It’s like finding gold! I dig it!

Looks awesome!

Such endurance! almost mind-boggling! I recall visiting the Philippines in 1978. My family (mother’s side) lived in Manila. The heat/humidity was unbearable. Loved riding in those “jipneys”. great job again, and very glad no one got hurt! troop on!

Nicely done!

Welcome! FOTK looks great! consider EIB? https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/95-expert-infantryman-program/

The second pic with the ceiling lighting shining down and creating shadows within the armor is truly awesome!

Looks like a lot of fun!

TM produces some of the finest armor. ABS is so shiny white! Terrific photos!
