  1. Nice work, you may just want to remove some of the excess paint on the gums, shouldn't leave the teeth area
  2. Welcome and good luck with the build, looking forward to the progress
  3. Looking forward to seeing some paint, good luck
  4. Have you thought of posting this on the legion boards, you may get a bigger response. Strike that I just noticed you did. You could also reach out to the legions diversity team [email protected]
  5. Costumes have different ID prefixes, for Stormtrooper it's TK so you would have ST and TK. You can find a full list here http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:CRLbyname It the numbers which never change
  6. I use doubled over elastic and that works for me.
  7. Nice work and to think I just used silicon in my first helmet
  8. I'd say they had enough ear bashing at celebration Anovos, get it together guys, you've had 4 years now and consumer confidence couldn't be lower.
  9. Velcro, been fine for 7 years.
  10. I've been trooping in an ATA for 7 years, just updated to my spare kit which has just been built so hopefully will keep going for another 7 years. My first ATA did get a couple of cracks from air transport that and some of the glue yellowed, which most didn't notice but I did, converted that set to a Sandtrooper which is now approved also. For other armor head to the Getting Started section, you'll find a thread on "vetted sellers" I'd also say no to a second hand set, you may very well have to modify it to your frame and if that's the case you may as well start from scratch. Good luck on what ever you decide.
  11. Have a look through some of the build threads, you'll find a lot of tips and tricks in those. Make sure you wash all the parts with soapy water, sometimes than can be residue of release agent on the armor. Good luck and looking forward to the build.
  12. I find on areas that are still a little curved that the cover strips need more pressure to hold them, use of clamps and masking tape can help this, when you apply the cover strip hold with clamp then apply pressure to the thighs and wrap tape around, this will help hold them until the glue dries.

  15. There is some confusion to “grandfathering”, there are discussions going on in regards to CRL updates which should be upload in June, anyone already building to the current CRL’s for EI or Centurion may be taken into consideration for their build prior to the updates. This does not affect any member who already has an approved Stormtooper unless you are seeking L2 EI or L3 Centurion . Hopefully there will be a post with more information soon. You do not need to supply images to anyone unless you are seeking higher level approval.

  18. Normally anyone with a build prior to CRL updates are taken into consideration, you have a build thread here so it makes it easy to prove There is a discussion going at them moment and I'm sure there will be a confirmation post at some stage in regards to CRL leeway.
  19. 5-10% soap (dish washing liquid) https://www.instructables.com/id/Apply-Big-Decals-Without-Wrinkles-or-Bubbles/
  20. Couple of screen caps of the belt length
  21. In my former garrison we had a member who had issues in their country and asked our CO to host them under our garrison, although that member never trooped with us they did troop elsewhere, mainly celebration. You may very well need to sign up to other garrisons depending on where you will be trooping, some don't share troop info in non member areas of their forums and being a member may be the only way of finding troop info. You will still need to have affiliation to at least one squad, garrison or outpost as they will oversee your troop attendance for the census. Census is held once a year in October, here is some more info https://www.501st.com/members/Census-FAQ.pdf
  22. Indeed, that is the link I posted above the video
