  1. File-Name: Oga's Cantina - 6 Star Wars Galaxy's Edge Coasters Designer: Kwarrell72awa Last Update: 29/01/2024 File-URL: https://makerworld.com/en/models/160918-oga-s-cantina-6-star-wars-galaxy-s-edge-coasters#profileId-176593 Description: This set of six coasters is inspired by those available at Oga's Cantina on Batuu in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at both Disney World and Disneyland California. This core set of six can be printed alongside a limited edition set of four designs, which are no longer available in the parks, and complemented by the coaster display stand. Both other models are available in my profile. As a Star Wars fan and a fan of these guys, this is my little tribute! Terms of Use: https://makerworld.com/en/user-agreement Images:
  2. File-Name: 501st Coasters Designer: Kawa Last Update: May 2nd 2025 File-URL: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1376788-501st-legion-star-wars-coaster#profileId-1424417 Description: The 501st Legion is an international organization of passionate Star Wars fans, specifically dedicated to building accurate replicas of the armor of the Imperial forces (Stormtroopers, Sith, Clone troopers, bounty hunters, and other "villains" from the Star Wars universe). The 501st Legion, nicknamed Vader's Fist, is made up entirely of volunteers. Founded in August 1997 in South Carolina by Albin Johnson and Tom Crews, the legion has approximately 10,000 active members worldwide, with chapters on 6 continents, in over sixty countries. Members of the 501st Legion frequently appear at promotional and charity events. On March 17, 2005, the father of the saga George Lucas became an "honorary member"[2] of the fandom and the international group was officially recognized by Lucasfilm at an image level, following its demonstrated loyalty in the accurate replication of the costumes and the incredible potential in participating in the most important events, including the Star Wars Celebration. After the international success of the 501st Legion, in 2000, always in the United States, the counterpart dedicated to the costumes of "rebel" characters (including: Jedi, Senators and Tributaries) was founded, namely the Rebel Legion. As a Star Wars fan and a fan of these guys, this is my little tribute! Don't miss it! Terms of Use: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ Images:
  3. This is the link you require C'est le lien dont vous avez besoin https://www.501st.com/members/displaymemberdetails.php?userID=807
  4. Although we have one as the CRL you can also use screen references, weathering is sometimes a hard thing to show in photos as I've found out previously.
  5. I'm not sure if it's available outside Australia, basically it's just a little courser than polish, like a compound paste but not as thick.
  6. That would be great, thank you
  7. Some photos of the seams needing joining and filling here Differences between TFA and TLJ Forearms Forearm differences TFA TLJ Cod Helmet TFA - TLJ TFA TLJ Recesses section bigger on TLJ on helmet, clips are also different

  9. Note the LMO's are not currently approving new costumes as there is work being undertaken behind the scenes as the CRL process is undergoing an update.
  10. Hello and welcome aboard, I would think cutting in the middle and joining/filling would be the only option. Sha Sha has a great build for the shorter trooper A tutorial on adding photos via Imgur as the forum only allows a small amount of attachments
  11. Sometimes a softer polish will remove marks, if not you can compound polish then go over with a finer polish as that will bring back the shine. Locally we have a polish called T-cut, found that is a good mix of both a compound and polish, quite a few people mention Novus polish
  12. There are some inaccuracy with a couple of areas, depends on which version you are planning to make, it is more suited to a TLJ version, quite a few have been legion approved. Some joins need to be filled with either ABS paste or filler, if using filler you will have to paint. Joins on sides of abdomen, kidney, on top of the shoulders/yoke. There are a few DN builds in the FOBG area Justin has a nice build here
  13. One thing to note is try to have your snap plates closer to the edges of armor, this cuts down on the amount of elastic and how much it will stretch, the longer the elastic the more it stretches, if that makes sense.
  14. Congratulations trooper, you can request higher forum access here Make sure you read the instructions in the first post. A great read for our new troopers before you get out to troop https://databank.501st.com/databank/TrooperSurvivalGuide Once again congratulations and welcome to the ranks Trooper

  16. Please read the instructions in the first post again, you need to add a link to your legion membership profile
  17. A little hard to see too much with all the tape, nothing drastic is standing out, I'm sure once you get your strapping attached it will give us a better look. Some threads on adding side shims ABS paste to fill the gap/join
  18. My pleasure trooper. A.C. will be along in due course to upgrade you, stand by
  19. Nope that's a link to this forum and your profile, this is the one you need https://www.501st.com/members/displaymember.php?userID=32390&costumeID=124
  20. Lovely contrasting background, well done, good luck with approval
  21. Please take another look at the instructions in the first post, that link is to your legion forum profile, not your membership profile If you need any help please reach out.
  22. ok, I've finally figured it out, so for now I am done with the thighs, I did my best to match them in circumference on each end and have trimmed them down so no going back now. I'm just about ready to start gluing the cover strips, but I'm going to wait until tomorrow. I have some nitrile disposable gloves to use for the glue and a respirator, I'm going to see about picking up an apron. I hope to only take about 2 days for gluing in total, not including the drying and curing time. I have started doing more work on the smaller pieces such as the thermal detonator, sniper knee and ammo packs. Make sure you rough both surfaces with some course sandpaper prior to gluing, gives the glue a little more to grab too. Let glue dry for at least 24 hours, any areas under pressure I leave a little longer to dry, 48 to 72 hours. While trimming up the front and back kidney plates, I had taken off a little too much, so I intend to use the cut offs to fill the gap between the two. Post up a few photos we may be able to guide you as for the strapping I do have an idea of how to assemble it...A guide to the most common way, adding double snaps can help just in case one lets go 1:The kidney I'm using a belt for the kidney section underneath. the belt I have is double notched through the entire strip making it perfect to attach the thigh straps as well. I'll add elastics with snaps on the end at the sides for the front to connect. 2:The torso I'll make my own suspenders to connect to the belt to hold the shoulder bells, and torso plates in place. I use this setup, has adjustment for thigh height. You don't really need the belt to hold to the shoulder bells, could get tricking to put on. You will find that the whole armor will "clamshell" at naturally want to sit on your shoulders, belt does all the work holding your things up. 3:The limbs the thighs still sit a little large on me so I'll be adding foam padding to them. just an update for my progress, I don't have any questions... yet. I know there are lots of videos going over the gluing process, so I'll be looking through those. This may be of help down the road
