  1. As already said that would be a BIG NO. Lost of info in the getting started section, you could also look at some others build threads as many state what their armor is in the titles
  2. Hello and welcome, many of us use a free online photo host for our photos, Imgur is just one of many which a lot of us use. Good luck and hope to see a build thread from you soon
  3. Hello and welcome aboard, research is the key, big tip don't purchase from eBay or Esty Good luck with the journey, it can be a very rewarding one
  4. Costume Approval Information - Legion Elections 2020 With the Legion election period about to start Today Monday 27th January @ 12.01am GMT, the membership database will be in lock down, during this time new member applications through your local garrison/outpost can not be finalized, you may however still submit them but they won't be processed until the end of this cycle. This does not affect the addition of any new costumes to an active members roster/profile, however it does affect any membership status changes ie: active / reserve / retired and any personal information updates. The period of membership database lockdown for 2020 Monday Jan 27th @ 12:01AM GMT and ends @ Wednesday Feb 12th @ 11:59PM GMT Thank you for your attention.

  5. For current members but not new members
  6. I believe you need a minimum of 5 posts to be able to post in some areas
  7. Hello and welcome aboard, good luck with this journey
  8. I use a heat gun but after A LOT of practice, ABS plastic is a very strange animal to heat and because it's under stress as it has been heated and pulled it can easily let go and revert back to it's former shape. A lol of people use hot water bath's which is a little kinder but still you have to be careful especially with pieces that are curved and under stress. Practice with scrap pieced of ABS plastic is a must for the uninitiated
  9. I agree, I have read a few threads on plot leaks and what could have been sounded a lot more feasible, I'm still hoping we see a directors cut at least it would give the movie a few fill in spots which could help to explain a few things
  10. Great news congratulations. Reinforcing the yoke is a definite must. Hopefully Anovos will eventually get their act together, fingers crossed
  11. If you need any customizing just let me know
  12. Stunt helmets have 3 screws on the ears and 4 ear bumps, which yours appears to have, Hero have 2 screws and 3 ear bumps There are also the different amount of teeth, Stunt have 8 cut outs, Hero 6. You can compare the differences on this spreadsheet here You may need to do a little bit of work touching up the paint, doesn't quite fit in the recessed areas well, also tube stripes ideally are a pencil width from the cheeks Also trim a little more from around the eyes, be amazed how much extra view you have. Some references ---------- There is also a great Gallery section full of screen references here you may wish to have a look through. With regards to costume approval that goes through your local GML (garrison membership liaison) so you may wish to contact them

  14. It's a bit hard to have a generic file, counters are differently sized depending on what you use, also customizing numbers.
  15. Probably was done in the real early days, unfortunately a lot of images and information has been lost over the years with software and hosting changes. Good luck with the research
  16. Does 1 every 6 month's constitute as a batch
  17. Great work, looking forward to seeing the FO version
  18. Hello and welcome aboard, you could also have a look through some of the build threads to see examples of maker armor
  19. Well I have a laser ax but not a Commander Pyre, the animated helmets I've seen aren't quite there yet, although I've tried to give some feedback
  20. Anyone working on a Commander Pyre (animated) can now add a laser ax to their optional weaponry
  21. Oh happy days, nothing better than BBB's, good luck moving forward
  22. An interesting project for sure. Here is a little info on new to the legion costumes: New to the Legion Costumes (NTTL) Whenever you begin work on a “New to the Legion” costume, it is always best to connect with the Legion Membership Officer and relevant Detachment before proceeding. It is recommended that a “New to the Legion” costume is not kept a secret. One of the best ways to receive feedback on a “New to the Legion” costume is to make an account with the relevant detachment forum, and solicit feedback from the membership base. An ongoing and regularly updated info-page, New to the Legion Costumes in Progress is kept, listing out costumes with links to their designated Detachments. Effective January 2016, the 501st Legion requires that all “New to the Legion” costumes must have a CRL before being approved in the database. A “New to the Legion Costume” is a costume that has no CRL. Below are the steps for a “New to the Legion” costume and how it is added to the membership database. Contact [email protected] and ensure the costume is applicable for inclusion into the 501st Legion. Please provide the following information: Name (and TKID if applicable ) Name of costume Media this character (in this exact costume) is seen in Links to reference If contact with a detachment has already been made, and links to any WIPs The GML and/or costumer will be guided to the appropriate Detachment where CRL development will then occur. Once CRL development is complete, the costume will be entered into the Membership database, announced, and then the costume may be approved on current and prospective members. Notes to Keep in Mind Typically as much time will be spent researching and looking at reference sources as it will take to make / assemble the costume. Ideally, there are clear full body pictures of the front, side, and back. When in doubt, email and ask [email protected], providing all reference for the character in question. Understand that a CRL undergoes many revisions by many people before publishing and that it is possible that there are multiple people working on the same costume at the same time. There are no guidelines on creating a new costume aside from reference material, and a costumer may be asked to change things multiple times. Understand that a CRL is not intended to be a detailed how-to on costume construction; rather it is a visual guide to be used for 501st costume approval. Detailed instructions, designs, and specific measurements are to be recorded within the detachment forum’s WIP documentation. The costume will not be approved in the Membership Database until all of the steps to create the CRL are completed. The wait period from completion of costume to approval can be lengthy. Pictures of the costume being worn, as well as costume parts may be requested. The first completed costume is not always the CRL model. Sometimes multiple applicants images are used to complete a CRL. Images should be captured against a simple, contrasting background, at high resolution, with good lighting. The Detachment and/or LMO may ask for assistance in writing the text of the CRL, but this is not always the case. Before any CRL goes live, it will be reviewed, edited, and approved by the LMO Team. Once approved, the new costume will be added to the membership database, and the CRL published on the wiki (Databank).
  23. You will be very happy with Imperial Surplus
  24. I'm in the middle of putting a comparison guide together but I have a bit on at the moment.
