  2. Hello and welcome to the forum, we have a great area for the ROTK's https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/162-rogue-one/ Good luck with the research
  3. And in the event they took too big or have a big gap between them and your legs you can add a return edge.
  4. It's a 2 part process, 1: You have to fill out the membership forum on the 501st legion https://www.501st.com/members/join_form.php also supply 5 sets of ID numbers of your choice from he list of available numbers http://www.501st.com/members/search_avail_ids.php 2: Next you supply photos of you in costume (and also a buckets off) to your GML (garrison membership liaison) Should not be just one link, you should send separate links to each of the required photos. Front, Side, Back, Side, Action, Helmet off All should be full length with a solid background (guide on backgrounds here Doesn't hurt to check in with your GML to enquire if there is anything else they require. FYI I tried singing up on their forum and it did not require a TKID, just needs approval from staff so you may want to check again https://www.501st.ca/forum/index.php?action=register Staff Page Website: https://501st.ca/garrison/ GML email: [email protected] Officers: Garrison Membership Liaison (GML): Gerald J Gyorffy, 96004 Garrison Membership Liaison (GML): Aiden Smit, 78202 Garrison Web Liaison (GWL): Alex Kung, 19653
  5. FYI ou can search for your local garrison and their contact information here https://www.501st.com/maps/imagemap-northamerica.php
  6. Really depends on your GML (garrison membership liaison) for non cannon events, some garrisons are stricter than others. From the CRL: A holster is not an optional extra in the CRL's so it should be there even when carrying a DLT-19 Holster Holster is made of black leather or leather-like material. The holster is worn on left side of belt and is attached via two leather or leather-like material straps to the belt from behind instead of front. No loops cover the outside of the belt. The holster is affixed with only two fasteners at the bottom, one on each side. Fasteners may be rivets, snaps, or Chicago screws. Also Previously asked
  7. You don't need to have any return edge for any level. Great thread on return edges here:
  8. Bryan also has a few different versions, thicker barrel and also pipe inserts, you can find all of his files here https://www.printables.com/@TK14082_234773/models
  9. You have to be careful using other vendors plastic as there can be a BIG difference in color/shades, from stark white to murky cream. If you can't trim straight try using some sandpaper wrapped around some wood. I use a sanding block for nice straight lines, works the same for coverstrips

  11. Just a couple of things. We try not to have too much of a gap between the coverstrips and ridge on the armor. General coverstrip widths Bicep 15mm Forearm 15mm Thigh 20mm Shin Front 20mm rear 25mm However you can use bigger coverstrips if you need them, we do try to look standard from the front and add larger on the rear, the public don't see as much from the rear. Score and snap method works best for cutting cover strips, yours is a bit wobbly You only need to take the corners off so they don't catch, the left one is very rounded Some you can cut on an angle depending on overhang or stepped armor
  12. Hello and welcome to the forum, some info to get you started https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/38-getting-started-read-this-first/
  13. Some info for strapping: Strapping Systems Rivet Setting 101 by justjoseph63 (Print PDF) Snap Setting 101 by justjoseph63 (Print PDF) Snap Setting Hardware Solutions by TheRascalKing E6000 and Snaps Discussion by Harbinger, Snap Options by ukswrath Snaps with Rivet Heads by TheSwede Split Rivet Placement by DroidHunter How to Use a Rivet Tool by huttman How to Make Snap Plates by stukatrooper Elastic ABS Reinforcement by Cricket Types of Inner Strapping by Shinyarmour1 Internal Strapping by justjoseph63, nrgband Thigh Garter System by Pencap510 Making Thigh Garters by Spectre Bicep Hooks by Pyrates and Brent Shin stabilization by Cricket and themaninthesuitcase Some of us decide to double snap, this is a good idea in case you loose a snap, then you have a backup
  14. Reference material: For Level 2 the Sniper knee plate must not have visible rivets or fasteners, and must be aligned with the ridges of the shin. NOTE: For a more screen accurate look, it is suggested that the top of the rear ridge of the sniper plate be aligned with the top ridge of the calf. Also note that the sides are angled rather than curved. L2 EIB approvals for comparison Nice work on the teeth and vocoder. Personally I would only cut off the uneven vacform mold roughness while trying to cut it straight, remember the brow trim will sit over this area. You do need to bring it down as it is quite high at the moment, most of the open area will be covered by the ears but should sit a little lower on the cheeks. It's easy to trim off more later but hard to put back on NOTE titling the top/rear will also change the opening size so watch that when adjusting. Also you put on the helmet sideways, over your nose then turn straight, they don't go straight on. Some great threads on fine tunning and getting the ears to fit well, small steps, sand, check, sand, check, sand check. Just on this side the last line in your tear/trap is angled, they normally follow the same angle Brow height Stunt
  15. Yes for basic it should be ok to have 3 or 4 bumps for both, BUT some garrisons are stricter on what constitutes basic approval, ie: 3 bumps for Hero and 4 bumps for Stunt (as they were in the movies) At the end of the day it is entirely up to your GML, as I say check with them first, they only look after basic approval, but can require additional L2 or L3 details, detachments look after higher levels L2 and L3 (EIB and Centurion) and has nothing to do with the GML. I'm sure you could make some adjustments to achieve the desired look, it's fine tuning with small stages of standing, have a look at some of the builds I posted.
  16. A couple of things you may want to address If you are going stunt you will need a little more paint on the ends of the teeth. Remove paint from gums White rim on hovi tips/rim Vocoder needs some cleaning up Remove bump at front of brow trim Tube stripes, remove and replace, look to be on an angle at the back Ideally Stunt has 4 ear bumps not 3 (double check with your GML to see if approvable for basic some are stricter than others) Here are some great threads, I encourage you to have a good read through them, ears are the worst and do take a considerable amount of time and care to get right, adding a step also helps them to sit a little flusher.

  18. Velco is normally left over right but either is acceptable as both were seen For Level 3, the corners of the plastic ammo belt shall be trimmed at a 45 degree angle that meets the outer edge of the cloth belt.
  19. It really depends on your GML (garrison membership liaison) and also the LMO's (legion membership officers) both take part in the process. Locally our approvals are from 1 day to 1 week so I would definitely get in touch with your local command and request guidance. If you don't hear from your GML I would contact the GCO (garrison commanding officer)

  24. Firstly I notice you have a TKID, you may want to reach out to your GCO or GML, your legion record is "classified" this normally means you have been made reserve or retired. Once reinstated you can request 501st or TK access here There has been some staff discussion in regards to this as well as between our DO and the LMO's, some names have been tossed around but nothing decided upon as yet. Inclusion of some variations seen in "New Era / Disney" shows has also been discussed, again nothing decided upon to date. There is A LOT on the CRL's to do list, with some outstanding new CRL's in line to be finalized with the newly updated database and some other CRL's requiring updates, there is a lot going on in the background .
