I can't speak for the Tramp as I've not used one, but the icomm needs the aker amp to work. It has a mic cable in, then the out goes to mic in on top of the Aker. I believe the Tramp is one self contained unit

That image is showing the other side of the fan, it's just velcro you can see, I like to use that so I can move position in the helmet, on the other side of the open fan I added some mesh, like what is used on the helmet teeth, the goatee got a little out of control in lockdown and didn't want any hair pulled in. Doesn't change the noise but I only find it annoying when fully charged, does quieten down. I also found using a block of foam on the sides of my head in front of the ears can reduce noise and also stops helmet wobble

Ok you cut too much off the bottom corner, I don't think I've seen that done before. As I have said in the past you are always best checking with other approved centurion applications, none have a different sized cut corner. This could be fixed, you could tape the piece back on from behind (or glue some plastic behind) and use some ABS paste to join the pieces together, ABS paste does take 24 hours and longer to dry, then sand, using different grade sandpaper to ultimately fine, then polish, as you can add some weathering you may be able to disguise the join. I must say though I think you went a little large even going on Mario's reference, doesn't appear to have a huge corner cut off in the image, he was alerting you to the fact the belt could be offset, not to match the corner cuts to the actual belt. The belt covers should not be cut on the corners either

I used the PTT once I think, just found without it was easier BUT you do have to watch some comments you may make from time to time, I slipped up once, was a naughty word

I use the basic Aker microphone and hold it in my teeth when putting on the helmet, very rarely does it come away. I did however had to do some modifications to the metal section as it was digging into my ears so a set of pliers and 5 minutes fine tuning Some people use a wireless microphone but that's just one thing more you have to charge so I don't bother

I don't think your amazon fans will fit in your helmet, you also want something that won't suck in hair I went with a basic squirrel fan, switch and 4 x AA battery pack, pretty cheap purchasing all the pieces of eBay and if you can use a solder iron you are set For audio I use Icomm unit and Aker 1506 amp

No difference apart from size and weight as I said, most position behind the chest plate so 10mm in width can be a BIG difference. If putting in your helmet you want as much room in there as you can get, you have to put the helmet on sideways and twist straight, that's how they were in the movies so adding anything too bulky can get in the way, but in saying that I've seen some strip the plastic section off the amp and just use the internals, you can then spread them out and they aren't as thick

Yes but allowances are given between what we see in the game opposed to what is achievable in real life armor, BOTH versions are approvable, same as the position of the button cover, not all armor makes have belts that long so shorter are fine. Can you post some photos of your issues with the belt and what you have done?

Some comparisons, notice the extra length of the Game version plastic belt sections BUT shorter is also approvable

Having it offset will be no issues for approval, both versions are fine, most just have the fabric belt central as they may be using already approved armor

Here is a better image of the button cover, it is more towards the end of the belt BUT with the TKC you can have the belt the same length of original trilogy armor OR you can have it longer, as I have done with my TFU. You will also notice the belt boxes are a lot further back compared to a ROTJ Some references of belt length and button covers. Mario is correct with the position of the belt, some allowances are made as to what is seen in the game opposed to how they would be in real life, as the game version is based on a ROTJ armor the belt should match real life armor so the position to the plastic section is central

There is no stead fast way to finish the tops of the thighs, they can be stepped, trimmed on an angle to match, flat across the top, and even given a slight return edge if you feel like it, the coverstrip will do most of the work for appearance, personally it trimmed mine across and added a small return edge as I have skinny legs. Some references of the tops of thighs

1506 is a lot smaller and lighter than the 1505, most use the 1506 1506 10watt Dimensions: 3.75” x 2.81” x 1.08” (90mm x 70mm x 27mm) 1505 12watt Dimensions: 4.13” x 3.31” x 1.38” (105mm x 84mm x 35mm)

Advanced Tactics Awards Public Relations Staff List 2020 Follow FISD On the 17th December 2020 we learned of the passing of Jeremy Bullock aged 75. Jeremy was a fan of the fans, and was one of the first actors to be inducted as an Honorary 501st Legion Member, a title he proudly wore. In 2009 Jeremy became a full member of the club as BH-5211 as Boba Fett, the character he portrayed on screen. Jeremy was a friend to all who met him and will be deeply missed. Our condolences go out to his family, friends and the whole Star Wars community. "Buckets Off" On the 16th of December, 2020 Master Sailor Duane Earle was declared lost at sea. Duane TK-26222 was a member of the Outer Rim Garrison and the First Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment. Duane’s love of all things to do with water, from sailing to scuba diving, earned him the nickname of “Squid” among his peers. After seeing his son’s reaction to members of the 501st in an event in Vancouver, Duane set out to become a Stormtrooper. Duane is survived by his two sons, a step daughter and his wife Tracy. Our condolences go out to his family and family. "Buckets Off" On the 29th of December, 2020 Rudy Cabrera (DZ-41474) passed away. Rudy was a dedicated member of Star Garrison and Texas Gulf Coast Squad, as well as a proud Tusken Raider in the Krayt Clan Detachment. Rudy, was a loving family man and this showed in his volunteer work with the 501st Legion. Rudy is survived by his beloved wife Diana and their two children. Our condolences go out to his family and family. "Buckets Off" Greetings fellow troopers Welcome to 2021 Man that holiday period went awfully fast and I'm back at work already!! Hope everyone had a break of some kind and a chance to try and recharge for the new year ahead. In saying this, we are quickly heading into the legion election cycle come February, so if you haven't checked in to the forums, perhaps it's a good time to log in and take a look around. We've made a few changes across last year and are making sure there is always something new to see or talk about on the FISD forums. All considering the global situation of 2020, I feel our detachment has had a very strong year with several solid changes to the forums and some great reasons to celebrate with milestones and initiatives. We managed to achieve many of the goals we set out in the last election, some are still underway due to the size and or nature of what they are (Forum clean up, Photobucket image replacement, and Centurion 500 almost there). We only had a couple of plans the team decided to postpone so the focus remained on the membership and how we could best keep you engaged. With the inability for most to do the things we love like troop and help others and our communities, we worked to offer a break out from the ISO so many had been placed in. FISD was the most active forum with and for members, something everyone can very be proud of. On behalf of the staff and myself, I hope we made a difference to your year in some small way and that FISD can continue to deliver on this with innovation, celebration and an inviting environment into the future. Thank you to everyone who contributed in some way shape or form to this wonderful family. 2021 are you ready for more!! With Unquestioned Loyalty Andrew Franke TK11469 "Sly11" Detachment Leader Happy New Year my FISD family! There is not too much information to pass on from the Provost Marshall office at this point. The forums are running smoothly and the detachment is as fun as ever. The only thing that I would like to bring up to our membership is that Legion Elections will be coming to a galaxy near you very shortly. We will be getting the FISD set up for them soon. I would just like to remind everyone that we have been fortunate to have very smooth running elections in recent memory. The DCOG team expects that to continue this year. Please be an active participate. This forum belongs to every active 501st member with an approved FISD costume! Engage any possible candidates. Ask them informed well thought out questions. Their answers will make it apparent as to who the most qualified candidate will be for the future of our detachment. But most importantly be respectful! This is the best way to make the Provost Marshalls job easy and we will be very appreciative.

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. You will have the opportunity to ask questions about your completed armor, weapons (if applicable), accessories, etc. and get accurate information from the experts here at the FISD.. the definitive home of TKs worldwide. For more information on this program, please visit the link here Contributor Awards 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.

Your picture may end up in the Stormtrooper Hall of Fame Award Recipients December - January TK99901 "IRoS" Mario - The FISD Master Armorer program is an optional, detachment only incentive award to recognize individuals who have directly helped another 501st stormtrooper to achieve Expert Infantry status. Some people spend countless hours helping others, and want to reward their results as well as incentivizing new people to help as well. To register a “win” in the program, the assistance must have provided hands-on help trimming, building, and/or fitting of said armor for the person who was awarded Expert Infantry status. Other program notes: • Helping remotely, giving advice, or taking payment in exchange for help does not account, all work must be voluntary and without expectation of compensation. • The assistance must be for a period of 30 minutes or more. Spending 15 minutes tweaking someone’s fitting or taking photos does not count. • "wins" can be retroactive, e.g. if you helped 5 people in 2017 already, those can count as long as they are fully documented. Award Levels • 5+ “wins”: FISD Armorer Badge • 15+ “wins” FISD Senior Armorer Badge • 25+ “wins” FISD Master Armorer Badge The process • Person applying for the award will create an application thread to track the help they give. • For each “win”, they will list the person they helped achieve Expert Infantry status by copying their EI approval thread. • For each “win”, the person who was helped will validate that this person helped them. You can find the master award area here https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/182-fisd-master-armorer-program Are you an approved TK that spends more time on the boards than the average Trooper?

With Unquestioned Loyalty Frank Peranteau TK75139 "Frank75139" Attaché Ambassador Update Your Fire Team Info: Hi all, I've been doing some housekeeping in the approved Fire Team area, mainly to make all the posts in a uniform, easy to see format. The original post were in a different forum theme and those font colors were hard to see in the current theme. Anyway, please check any teams you may be a part of and see if they are still active, members up to date and the logo still works. Please contact me directly if any of your information is incorrect or you need your logo updated. For the full list of Fire Teams here Thanks! With Unquestioned Loyalty Mark Ryner TK4584 "captsafe66 " FISD/Fire Team Director So what exactly are EIB (Expert Infantry Badge) and Centurion levels? These programs were designed for those who choose to take their armor above and beyond the minimum requirements for basic 501st Legion approval. It gives you the chance to show a level of dedication and pride that takes your armor closer to being as "screen accurate" as possible, without as much extra work as you may realize! It also works on giving a better look to the Legion as an entity, and you can bet others will take notice of your hard work. The 501st has a list of detailed requirements for Basic approval, (level 1), EIB, (level 2) and Centurion, (level 3) which can be found here in the Costume Reference Library, (CRL) http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:FISD_CRL Here are a few of the questions people may be wondering about: 1. "I am a (tall/short/heavy/thin) Trooper. Can I still apply? Of course! These programs are open and encouraged for all sizes of TKs, as long as the costume is correct and meets the guidelines. There are many specific build tutorials to every option, as well as a vast network of fellow TKs on the FISD to help you out and offer suggestions. 2. "How much extra will I have to pay for extra items"? The cost is actually quite reasonable, considering the few extra supplies you will need, which are listed in the requirements area. While it may run you a little more to implement these additions to your costume, they will go a long way to improving accuracy. All needed items can be found for sale on this thread: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/16-ongoing-sales-project-orders/ While blasters are not required for basic approval, for EIB and Centurion levels they are, and may need upgrades (also listed in the CRL). 3. "I haven't even got my kit yet, is it too early to start planning"? Actually, aiming for Centurion is easiest to do right out of the box. 4. "I have my basic TK approval, can I still get in these programs"? In a word... absolutely! 5. "Are there any "perks" to this extra work and cost"? Besides knowing that you have a great looking set of armor, the 501st and FISD believes you should be deservedly recognized for your achievement(s), and allows you to wear the appropriate embroidered "rocker" badge of rank (available for a very minimum cost) on your shirt, helmet bag, etc., as well as rank decals to put on your armor bin. You will also have access to select "challenge coin" runs, receive (free) a cool certificate for your new rank, and have your title posted below your name in your FISD signature. Plus, once you reach these levels, you will have the extra knowledge to help out those who are looking to apply as well. 6. "Is it hard to apply, and what happens then"? After basic approval, all you do is make sure your armor is up to the standards set forth in the CRL, post a thread with the required photos in the appropriate area (see below), and wait a bit for the D.O.s (Deployment Officers) to address it. (Hint: Studying other people's threads before you submit can be a GREAT help). These are also listed on the main page of the FISD site. While waiting for approval, you will get some comments from others who will offer suggestions and constructive advice to help you out. If you should need any changes, the DOs will let you know, so you can adjust accordingly. Don't be dismayed if you do need changes... it's all for your benefit! After you are approved for EIB, then you can submit for Centurion. EIB https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/19-request-expert-infantryman-status/ Centurion https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/72-request-centurion-status/ Photo Checklists To make it easier (and faster) to get you approved, we have updated the Photo Requirement checklists for both OT and FO and included visual examples of what we as D.O.s are looking for in order to move you along at an expedited rate. These can be found here: Expert Infantry: (For all non-FOTK costumes) Centurion: (For all non-FOTK costumes) FOTK: (EI and Centurion) Just remember that the FISD is here to help you every step of the way with whatever other questions you may have, but if you can't seem to find what you are looking for in your research, just ask away here on the forum. This area lists all those who have gone above and beyond basic approval toward screen accuracy.
