They can be a bit of a problem to get just right. I normally test fit the chest/backplate and add the elastic between, then place the pieces over a box (or mannequin if I can be bothered getting it out of the shed), doing this is similar to what you have done with the coat hanger, the difference being it holds the pieces outwards so makes aligning the shoulder straps a little easier. Once I am happy with the position of the straps I add masking tape to the sides and the fronts so I know when I remove and add the glue they with be in the exact same spots. Take note occasionally a clamp can slip due to strain or pushing glue out from under the straps so it pays to check from time to time while drying

That is a shame, hopefully they contact you soon. You cold try reaching out to the CO [email protected] or XO [email protected]

Looking great trooper, looking forward to seeing you with a legion TKID soon

It's very easy to miss taking photos when you are on a building roll, I have the same problem

Yes the belt can sit differently when worn so better to do final fitting when you are wearing the hole armor

Just make sure you use the link with .jpeg on the end and you should be right. Looking much better

Great news, nothing better than BBB's, now wait for the excitement to end and the panic of "were do I start" sets in Good luck with the build and remember there are no silly questions only silly mistakes from not asking them

Need Help Ask the Deployment Officers Advanced Tactics Awards Public Relations Staff List 2020 Follow FISD The Singapore Garrison lost one of their own on 25 April 2022. Shawn Chak, TKID 7576, was a great friend to many. He could always bring smiles to any gathering, and his positive attitude towards life was always infectious. He will be dearly missed by the Garrison, who will hold on to their fond memories with him. Shawn is also missed by his wife Jessica, who shares his passion for Star Wars and the 501st Legion. Our condolences go out to his family, friends. "Buckets Off" The French Garrison suffered a loss in 2021 with the passing of Sebastien Veidt (TC-2432). His friends have written an eulogy for him, as follows: It is with great regret that our dear friend Sebastien Veidt joined the Stars to become one of them. Sebastien shared with us so many beautiful things in life: Passion, Friendship, Love and his Joie de Vivre. From his TC – 2432, he is an ANH Stormtrooper, an Imperial Officer, a Shoretrooper, an Imperial Soldier, a Stormtrooper Concept by Ralph Mcquarrie and a Clone Trooper. He became the greatest of the Heroes conveying a positive image of Human Values and knew how to highlight his happiness through his passion and his everyday life at our side, family and friends. We keep in our mind and heart, his smile and his good mood. We miss His presence and we know that in the Galaxy, one star shines brighter than the others and we know that our dear friend is watching over us. Our condolences go out to his family, friends. "Buckets Off" Eternal Legionnaire Gallery: https://www.501st.com/members/memoriam.php Greetings fellow members, Celebration Anaheim 2022 is looming and troopers from around the globe will meet and make new friendships, catch up with old friends and have a truly fabulous time. Unfortunately I won't make it there personally, but some of the FISD staff certainly will. They have planned a meet and greet time slot, to try and bring some of our staff, attache's and members together on thursday, 6pm. Also keep an eye open for any further updates on that. Our group photo time slot looks to be locked in Christoph (Danny) Lauber (Ripper_L) TK-55550 has organised this and the time slot for all detachment photos can be found HERE FISD time slot is 4:00PM Saturday 28th May Location is South Terrace of the Convention Center accessible via the second floor. When you enter the main entrance (that face the fountains), turn left and go up the escalator (there is also an elevator). The escalator will let you right off such that you will be able to see the first photo below. Head towards those doors and walk outside. You definitely need a Celebration pass to gain access to this area via the second level. Detachment Staff Update: Jim Ferrell (Rat) TK-95970 is taking a break from his role as DPRO managing our Facebook social media platform, and moving into the IPM. Thank you Jim for your service to the Detachment, the door is open for you in our PR team when you are ready to come back. Justin Reed (TheRascalKing) TK 61490 will be stepping into the DPRO role and taking over from Jim's duties for Facebook. Justin is a good fit as he does spend plenty of time in that social media platform, so keep a look out for his updates and posts. Congratulations Justin, we look forward to seeing what you bring to our Social Media DPRO team. I'd like to thank our DMBO James for the huge task of getting our shirt run organised, manufactured and ready to ship. He is still waiting on payment from a few members so please if this is you, get your payment in so Keepsmile can start shipping these out to you. This runs was not without it's ups and downs, But James let nothing sway him in getting us to the finish line. Before I sign off on this edition, I would also like to thank the members who currently have build threads underway on our forums. We are consistently blow away by not only the quality and detail put into these builds, but also the ingenuity of our members in coming up with more ways to assemble and create bits and pieces for their costume. You folk are a credit to FISD, you inspire others, and you keep this place the best resource for Stormtroopers bar none. Thanks for your time and enjoy the May edition.

You can find the thread here WE NEED YOU TO UPDATE YOUR BUILD THREADS As most would be aware we are diligently working through the forums updating watermarked images, missing images and broken links, this has taken over a year so far and has been a monumental task but there is still a lot of work ahead of us. Members build threads are one of the biggest areas of watermarked/missing images and we are asking you the membership to help and update your build threads yourselves as this is just too big a task for staff. Build threads requiring updates are being moved over to this area https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/241-build-threads-requireing-maintenance/ Thank you in advance for your cooperation. New FISD Tri Fold Brochure We have just launched our newly revised Detachment Tri Fold brochure. It's been quite a long time since we actually had these available and since then many things have changed leading us to updating some of the text to include new costumes, and have more relevant information. Originally these were done in a limited run by the member who created them, but nowadays, we have moved this to a print your own service making them accessible to all countries around the globe. Files are available to all full 501st members on request, and are completed in a very high resolution to ensure quality in a finished product. The thread can be found here for more information and how to access the files. Hovi/Mic Tips - Origin Found A massive thank you to Mike "Prophecy Maker" who has recently posted an image of the original Hovi/Mic Tips. We give you the "Swirlerators" My E-11 Fan Film This month we also had an amazing E-11 fan film from Robert "Rob78", you can tell a lot of work went into this, well done Robert I'm sure everyone will enjoy the detail you have put into this video. You can find his thread here Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2022 Star Wars Celebration has started officially announcing guests and panels in the past weeks. Several staff members will be attending SWCA this year and we are planning to host some FISD events framing the celebration program. Here are the dates for what we've planned so far: We start on the first day of Star Wars Celebration with a cozy meet&greet at 6pm in the Hilton's Mix Lounge. All FISD members are invited to have some chitchat there before going to the multi club bash, thursday at 8pm! All attachés, please check in on the staff & attaché get-together interest thread in the Attaché HQ. It's most likely going to take place on friday. Also on Friday: the "Detachments of the 501st" panel on saber guild stage at 1pm might be more than interesting for you! Attention! The 501st group photo has been moved to Saturday, May 28th, 1pm. Also don't miss the 501st Legion's 25th anniversary panel, saturday 3pm - right before our detachment group photo at 4pm! We close on saturday evening with a swag trade event for all club members at the marriott ball room, 8pm. You can find the Legion's Celebration main index thread with many more mesmerizing events alongside Star Wars Celebration on the legion forums here With Unquestioned Loyalty Danny Lauber TK55550 "Ripper_L" PRO Editor At Large Currently (as of 16th May 2022 ) there are 32,691 approved costumes in the legion, out of these under FISD there are 5.717 which is 17.49% of all approved 501st costumes. This percentage has been dropping for the last few years but this is the first time it has dropped under 18%, the larger the legion costume totals grows the smaller amount of TK's there are. Info can be found in the legion holocron INFORMATION & AWARD PROGRAMS For a full list of FISD awards head here Are you new to the FISD and wondering what the heck all those abbreviations and strange sounding terms mean? To help you @justjoseph63 has started a list of the most commonly used ones that will give you some insight. If you have ANY questions about a particular term that is not listed or suggestions for new ones please contact Joseph. You can find the list here Pre Approval Forum allows future Troopers the opportunity to submit photos of their completed build to be reviewed by the Staff, Imperial Attaches and others in preparation for forwarding it to their GML for approval. Any and all advice/suggestions given will be specific, constructive, helpful and respectful. Please note that this program will NOT take the place of your local GML, as Detachments are not chartered for costume approval and can not override a GMLs decision, but is instead a peer review program designed to help you look your best and offer guidance and positive feedback. For more information on this program, please visit the link here Don't forget to visit our 3D section when next surfing the FISD forums, there is plenty of useful information to potentially help you on your next TK adventure. You might be feeling may generous and share with our community a new TK related 3D file and maybe win yourself a 3D contributors award so check out the details below and be part of the in house 3D community. Here is a link to the FISD 3D Contributor program. Don't forget to create a troop log here on FISD and get awarded for your adventures The list of accomplished troopers keeps growing, so get on board and register your troops today Simply start (or update!) your troop log, keep the running total in the title, and post (at least!) a date and name for the official 501st event where you wore your TK! Once you've hit a milestone count, go over to the "Field Exercise Awards -- Post your milestones here" thread to request your profile be updated! Simple, right?

You can find more information here So what exactly are and levels? These programs were designed for those who choose to take their armor above and beyond the minimum requirements for basic 501st Legion approval.

Unfortunately you have to be either a 501st legion member or approved Stormtrooper to gain higher access

The Mr No Stripes conversation comes up from time to time, he did get around but then I guess most of the costumes did with only so many costumes on hand Here's an old thread from back in 2007 noting some of "Mr No Stripes" appearances https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/12-armor-trivia/page/7/#comment-11158 Former DL Terrell RIP @SuperTrooper "I'm still surprised no one has tried it with Mr. No Stripes. He is in the movie, promo poster, action figure photo, and the original action figures had no stripes either." And "I understand bloopers don't count, but Mr. No Stripes was not a background trooper, had quite a bit of screen time in multiple scenes, and was used in a promo poster. As a rule of thumb, promo posters tend to be perfect." Here's another thread on "Mr No Stripes" to consider for basic approval from 2008 https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/2664-mr-no-stripes-and-basic-standards/

I normally cut my large tab down on the back to the same size as the other tabs, you don't really notice any difference in appearance of the tabs. A couple of references Some references from Josph NOTE: As seen in the photos below, there are no large tabs on the rear of the shoulder bridges. This is not specifically mentioned in the CRL, but removing them is highly recommended if possible.

Nice work trooper, FYI if you use the "direct link" your images should show in your thread Your right arm bicep appears to be open, normally these are glued as they don't need to be opened when putting them on your arms. You have quite a few dark marks on the armor, some GML's may pick this up, I find using some auto polish can get rid of most marks. Could be my eyes or the photo but your belt boxes look a different shade of white? There is also some bunching of the gaskets at your elbows, I added some loops of elastic to the cuffs of my gaskets which helps keep them tight when putting on. Your left shoulder bell appears to have a gap between it and the back/yoke, should match the other side. Your detonator is not flush with your back, note the detonator on the right side trooper in image below. Back/yoke looks to be pushed backwards which will leave a gap between it and your detonator, you may be able to adjust this. You are also missing the black strip on the left side of the detonator. Butt plate looks to be on an angle compared to your back, this could be what is making your belt pouches/boxes to be on an angle, note the left is pretty noticeable, adding some stiff foam to the inside of the pouch can help. There is also some bunching of your gaskets, note between biceps and bells. You have a hinge/join between the chest and yoke/back, this is how Anovos made their last FOTK armor BUT it is not screen correct, this should be glued, filled and painted, note the reference below Appears to be a large gap under the butt plate, you can see your elastic strap, not sure if you could pull the butt plate in more. Detonator gap on this side also. I think that's about it for the moment, but I've only had one coffee so far today

To finish off I like to use a block of wood with sandpaper wrapped around to tidy up the lines, works well for the belt and knee ammo strip too

Looking better, only thing apart from (as you said) cleaning up a couple of lines, is the masking line in the grey, it is pretty noticeable, perhaps the DO's @Deployment Officer Team will chime in with their thoughts

Here are some references. Ideally 1 large tab and 4 to 5 smaller tabs, but you can have less. NOTE: As seen in the photos below, there are no large tabs on the rear of the shoulder bridges. This is not specifically mentioned in the CRL, but removing them is highly recommended if possible.

Looking good, can make a difference when wearing an undersuit so make sure you do final check wearing that

I found it's better to use a permanent glue, E6000 still has some flex and the crack can open again. A 2 pack permanent glue or JB weld has worked for me as I've tried both. Also make sure you rough up both areas with coarse sandpaper so it gives the glue something to grip to.
