Can take a few days, A.C. @NoVATie is not on the forum everyday, please standby

Hello and welcome aboard trooper

All the images need to be posted in the CRL thread (or sent to our DL @themaninthesuitcase), backgrounds are edited and there needs to be a last look over the text. Once that is complete it is sent to the Legion Membership Officer team to decide if the CRL is complete and meets their requirements and ready for inclusion into the legion. More info on the process https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:CRLGuide 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 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).

I have not been successful with PETG as yet, a lot of stringing, they say it takes practice to dial it in but it does my head in constantly testing, will get back to trying again when I have nothing on.

A lot of WTF builds on the forum which have gone through similar matching issues, here's a few for reference. You will find most use abbreviated armor makers names in the title of the build threads Having a build thread is a great way of showing your progress, asking questions and getting feedback https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/80-anh-build-threads/ Grear thread on return edges/trimming Good luck with the build

There are a couple of other things you may want to address, note these are suggestions and you are welcome to disregard and wait for the DO's review, but if you have time wouldn't hurt to address some. Your arms are touching in several places, I would try to bring your biceps up (they are quite low), giving you more room at the elbows. Shoulder elastic around bicep looks loose (rear photo) Your shins at not at the same height on the boots, adding some velcro or elastic inside can help keep them down. Belt could come up a bit: The top of the ABS ammo belt should sit at or just above the bottom of the central and vertical abdomen button panels. Your belt is slightly on an angle Trim the sharp corners off the tops of the thigh coverstrips or they will dig in you when moving If your stickers aren't too old you could add some tape, pry them off carefully and replace a pencil width from the cheek Ideally, the tube stripes are positioned approximately a pencil width from the side of the cheek. Ab and kidney look to be overlapping Drop boxes should align with the end of the plastic belt For Level 3, Drop boxes are vertically aligned with the end of the ammo belt with minimal gap between belt and box. Detonator could come down a little Hand plates do not look like they are affixed to the gloves, could be in wrong position Looks like you have velcro under your rear shoulder straps, these should free float. Arms touching Overlap side AB/Kidney Posterior touching thighs Loose shoulder bell elastic Using a contrasting background is best when taking your photos, especially for those like your GWL (garrison web liaison) or FISD honor gallery editor Once again these are suggestions, you are welcome to wait until you hear from the Deployment Team Good luck with your application

If you have a look at other EIB applications you may notice it has been asked as a L3 Centurion requirement Here's just one Centurion Requirements: A bit of filler in the gaps on the bottom of the thigh joint in the back will need to be applied. This can be done with ABS paste or Sugru. CRL L3: Lower thigh ridge joins (front and rear) shall butt-up flush against each other. Any gaps must be backed with ABS or filled as not to be noticeable. References You should be fine for EIB You may want to just take out the extra material in the corners of your forearms Also add a little white paint to the rim of your hovi's Correct Aerators/Hovi-MIX tips are present. Screens used shall be of a wide type mesh, with the rim of the mic and the inside white or painted white.

Hello and welcome, if already a 501st member you can request higher access here Draft of the CRL is here The CRL has not been published yet, needs a final go over with the text and waiting on a model and all the photos required for the CRL. You will know when it is published as the detachment and legion post it on facebook, it will also be posted here on the forum in announcements and in the monthly newsletter.

Some nice fixes there, just before the DO's come along there are a couple of things you could address to really make your application stand out, please note these are just suggestions and the DO's may or may not require any of them Belt is sitting on and angle, looks like it was missed in your EIB application, you may need an to straighten Centurion EIB Drop box not quite aligned with the end of the plastic belt, it was actually better in your EIB application. Left side button cover is on an angle. You may also want to add some tighter strapping or some V tabs behind your posterior to kidney, notice it is sticking out on the side. V There is also some belt/elastic showing between the cod and thigh on your left side. Centurion EIB With a heat gun or oven you bend strips of ABS plastic into the shape of a V, only glue one side and the other remains free to allow movement when you bend. Just helps stop the butt plate from pushing back from the back plate. Although size is not mentioned in the CRL your drop box elastic is a little wide Although your TD is a better length the gaps are still a little small between your endcaps and control panel, should be @ 1/2" (13mm) Looks like it's the curve of your tube stripes which doesn't follow the cheek giving the uneven appearance, nice gap in the middle but further on the ends. But by the CRL these are: Ideally, the tube stripes are positioned approximately a pencil width from the side of the cheek not must be You could remove the bump int he brow trim Could be lighting or a different angle but some 3D print lines can be seen, Hengstler stand out the most Once again these are just suggestions, the DO's may or may not require any of these changes. Good luck with approval

What you have now is a base model Hasbro/Kenner E-11, should meet base approval (depending on your GML). Doopy Doo's used to make an add on kit to make it a little more accurate BUT would only clear for base and EIB levels (depending on your GML of course). Lots of different color/versions, the last of the Disney Parks E-11's had a selector switch to go from kill to stun (different lights and sounds). Majority of E-11 builds back then (13 years ago) were Hasbro or pipe builds, no 3D printers back then (ok there were but around @$2,500 and upwards There also used to be a few others supplying resin kits back around then but unfortunately all gone now. I used to cut off the front of the barrel, fabricate an accurate one with T-tracks so it was at least the right size and LED's could be seen through it. My build thread is here (pre 3D file era) And then I had to build another E-11 for centurion standards, this was a pipe build with Doopy Doo's add on's (they also did a full resin kit) and some hand made pieces. Build here I did find some 3D files to add a little more detail to the blaster which I posted here: There are some really great Hasbro upgrade/conversion build threads on the forum and worth having a dig through some of them, was always amazing to see how so many builds were a little different from others and quirky additions some people added You will have no issues using Bryan's files for EIB or Centurion, he put countless hours into those files and a lot of detail work, even a working trigger for electronics. Biggest thing is not to leave any print lines, prep work is definitely the key to any printed prop, hurts my brain every time I see printed props with no sanding or filling, hey but that's just me. Bryan has some images in this thread Zeroroom (who I never got to meet as he retired) came up with some great templates for a scratch build E-11, I'll have to remember to upgrade his watermarked images, stupid Photobucket

Hi there, we don't have armorer's as such, we have attaché's, as well as experienced troopers who frequent the forums who will chime in on your build, you are welcome to post a build thread (in the appropriate build area) or if finished post in our pre approval area. Costume approval is carried out by GML's (garrison membership liaisons) the detachment only looks after level 2 and level 3 applications. Look forward to seeing your build

Good luck with the build

Top right corner of this forum, click the message tab, then left side compose new, in the TO line enter sskunky, it will then show his profile link and click and enter.

Firstly FX is no longer approvable, we have come a long way with costumes over the last 15 years as far as screen accuracy, Jedi Robe is very inaccurate compared to other makers on our vetted sellers list, Jedi Robe is also a known recaster. Yes people can make up their own minds, if you are happy with what you purchased great, we just supply information for people to read and decide, we do not promote.

Most go for Keep Trooping these days, we used to have several suppliers some years ago but allas no longer. Note those boots you have will pass for ROTK and FOTK You could even place a wanted or swap sales post, may be worth a try https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/11-for-saletrade-personal-items-only/ Issue with these boots are the height and elastic shown on the sides, you may be able to find some Chelsea boots similar but normally they are black or brown and needed to be stripped, then coated in vinyl paint. Unfortunately shipping is how it is these days, think of us Downunder, we get hit every which way (well when the postie's aren't off playing and get back to delivering)

References:

Should be fine, try to make sure the rear sits down on your backplate and you will be ok

Dependant on the make or armor and length of the shoulder straps, ideally there should be 1 large tab and 4 to 41/2 small tabs on the front of the chest to match screen references, it's not a requirement and won't stop higher level approvals though And no large tab on the back, some trim the large tab in half "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 forward to seeing your progress, good luck with the build

Your left shoulder looks a little wider than the right. Personally I would trim the left first then compare again, you don't want too much of a gap between the shoulders and the chest/back. References Note very little black showing between

As mentioned last month my attention has been mostly consumed by our hosting situation. A number of steps have now been made in the direction we need to go. The domain was transferred to a new custodian last week, and a new server is now up and running. Testing is currently under progress and hope to have more news soon. The promising news is that the new server seems a lot faster, though admittedly there's a lot less users on there! This month has some merch updates, including the launch of our Celebration Tokyo 2025 Patch. With inspiration from Japanese art I am really happy with what the team has produced and I hope you all do too. The CRLs have taken a bit of a back seat over the last few weeks. The Enoch CRL is still awaiting a model, but things look promising there as builds near completion. With the launch of Skeleton crew this month who knows if we might even get treated to something new? As this will be the last update before the new year, I hope you enjoy the holiday season and that the new year treats you well. With Unquestioned Loyalty Chris Pearson TK-10991 "themaninthesuitcase" Detachment Leader Greetings fellow members, As Chris has mentioned, CRL's have taken a back seat while we have prioritised Forum stability. We all agree, smooth navigating and uninterrupted scrolling of our mammoth resources are essential for a great member experience. On the CRL topic, we are also still searching for a Night Trooper CRL model. If you are keen to be a Legion first, please reach out. You will be working with myself and the team in completing this exciting costume and bringing it to 501st and FISD approved fruition, I wish everyone a wonderful holiday season, be safe, and hopefully spend time with your loved ones. See you in the new year. With Unquestioned Loyalty Andrew Franke TK-11469 "Sly11" Executive Officer Greetings Troopers! I am so very thankful for the support I have received from all of you for these runs so far this term. I am truly appreciative of your patience, understanding, and assistance. I'd also like to give a shout out to all the members that help distribute the Standard Logo Coins. You made a difficult job much easier, and hopefully less expensive to most members. I hope you all will consider helping me with future runs. With December here, we have to start wrapping up our Merch for the term and I have a few items left to announce. But First, let us cover the old business Old Business "FISD EIB Coins" EI coins are still available, but quantities are becoming limited. In order to buy one, you have to have an approved EI costume and you can not have ever bought an EIB coin. EIB coins are a once and done coin. If you have this one and would prefer one of the older versions, I may have an option for you so please dm me. EIB v11 coin run is open "Official FISD Standard Logo Coin" The coin run is closed. And all the orders have been shipped from all six of our Distribution points. The DMBO might have a few left to sell, keep an eye out for the DMBO's 2nd Annual leftover Merch sale, towards the end of the term. Standard Logo Coin "FISD Standard Logo Hoodie/T-Shirt" The Standard Logo T-shirt/hoodie an hoodie run opened on 11 Oct 2024 and was extended to 9 DEC 2024 All orders should have been placed and they will be fulfilled by Custom Ink. Standard Logo T-Shirt/Hoodie run "Advance to 1500 Keyring/Zipper pull" This is a non-branded merch item, so it does not take one of our limited slots. This run will start on 9 DEC 2024 - 6 JAN 2025. We are going to place a maximum limit of 20 per approved 501st member. Please keep this in mind when doing Group orders. These key tags will be woven so the details are sharp. There is only one variant, the design below shows both side of the tag. Check the Detachment Merchandise Only Forum for details. New Business "FISD Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025" We have completed the design of the Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025 patch and will be opening an interest thread. This Item needs to be ordered, paid for and ready to go so that I have time to get them shipped to members that will be attending Celebration. Click here for more info "FISD Stepping Out Challenge Coin" One of the most requested items in the past couple of years has been the "Stepping Out" logo on merch. We did a Black Staff version of this for Andrew's last team as DL, and the current EI Gold version as well. Now it is time to bring it to all members. An Interest Thread was posted in Late November. We are hoping to get an idea of numbers, and then submit it for approval and do the run in January.

I don't know how popular this will be, or what requirements I will need, but we will learn as we go and if it turns out to be popular and it gets too much for me - I'm sure that we can find a few more that are willing to help out! Thread here With Unquestioned Loyalty Jonatan Östling TK-23592 "Nairy" Attaché Ambassador Trading Card Archives For those with FISD detachment trading cards please consider sending two to Paul @Daetrin keeper of our detachment archives. Address and more info here With Unquestioned Loyalty Paul Hoeffer TK-8020 "Daetrin" Detachment Founder Keeper of Archives Currently (as of 9th December 2024) there are 33,585 approved costumes in the legion, out of these under FISD there are 4958 which is 14.76% 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 5000 and 15%, the larger the legion costume totals grows the smaller amount of TK's there are. Info can be found in the legion holocron LFL Retail Moratorium Lift For most of the year we are under an embargo from LFL and cannot attend retail locations unless prior approval has been given by them. At certain times of the year this embargo is lifted, generally around Blu-Ray / movie releases, May 4th and Force Friday, the recent correspondence from LFL outlines the lift of the embargo: Lucasfilm has informed LEC that the retail moratorium is being lifted December 1-31 at retailers selling Star Wars Related merchandise for the holiday season. All fans, costumed or otherwise, can participate with venues of their choice within this window with the restriction that costumed appearances must not be used in the advertising for the event. Although these appearances will be treated like an open invite, we’ll leave it to the fan groups to independently organize around these events as they see fit. LFL will not need to approve or coordinate these. Please note that retail locations should not include restaurants, bars, or venues with no apparent reason to feature Star Wars characters. In the coming weeks, we may send out a list of ‘preferred’ retailers from certain regions who would welcome fans to participate at their venues within these event windows, but you are all still welcome to make plans with appropriate retailers or venue hosts of your choice regardless of whether or not they appear on the list. Please distribute to your members! Alex Vargas Fan Relations Lucasfilm Ltd. *REMEMBER* Always follow your garrison/squad/outpost guidelines when it comes to organizing Disney/LFL promotional troops, only command staff should deal directly with LFL. INFORMATION & AWARD PROGRAMS For a full list of FISD awards programs head here. *Now Available in Swedish* Want to spread the word about FISD?, you can with our FISD Tri-Fold Brochure. 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 by contacting our DL Chris @themaninthesuitcase you can find more info here Currently Available languages: English - Spanish - German - Swedish 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.

Imperial Attaché Outstanding Achievement Award I'm still looking for Attachés in certain Squads, so if you are in a Garrison that has Squads, and they have a vacant position in the list - don't hesitate do get in contact with them and ask if they are up for the task! With Unquestioned Loyalty Jonatan Östling TK-23592 "Nairy" Attaché Ambassador Master Armorer Program - 2024 Relaunch FISD has many wonderful programs to help members build and submit costumes for our detachment, whether it be a classic Stormtrooper, a First Order Stormtrooper, or even one of the new Imperial Armored Commandos. While our Expect Infantry and Centurion programs get most of the attention, FISD staff wants to relaunch the Armorer Program (Currently called the Master Armorer Program). What is the Armorer Program you ask? Well, it is a program designed to recognize those troopers that go above and beyond to assist themselves and others in getting costumes built, submitted, and approved. One of the goals of all the detachments in the 501st Legion is to help members build and submit costumes that meet and hopefully exceed the minimum requirements of the Legion’s CRLs. Currently the Master Armorer program has the requirement of helping a minimum of 5 members achieve Expert Infantry status. The member must have spent at least 30min physically helping another member with cutting, gluing, sizing, etc, just because they want to help (no money exchanged). The definition of an armorer is “a maker, supplier, or repairer of weapons or armor”. So while we certainly love the feedback that members provide to others on the forums, and the extra steps some do by having video calls to help walk people through issues with their builds, this program requires hands on work. The new program will have the same physical help requirement, but we are going to move from a “wins” system, (where a win was help an individual for 30 min or more) to a points system, and we aren’t limiting it to only Expert Infantry builds. While we are pushing the Advance to 1500 to try and achieve 1500 Expert Infantry members, we recognize that the goal of the detachment is to get FISD members build, submitted, and approved. So we will be awarding points for Basic builds as well. Currently there are 3 levels of the award, FISD Armorer, FISD Senior Armorer and FISD Master Armorer. The new program will add a 4th level at the beginning called the Apprentice Armorer. The point scale will be as follows. 5 points - Apprentice Armorer 10 points - Armorer 20 points - Senior Armorer 30 points - Master Armorer The Armorer candidate would earn points based on what level the member costume they assisted with achieved. If you help with a basic build, you get 1 point, if you help with a EIB build you get 2 points. So a person to basic you get a point, help them again to get their EIB earning another 2 to a total of 3. The thought again here is that we want to help build as many stormtroopers as possible. If you love building armorer and love helping fellow members get their costumes built, then this is the program you’ve been searching for. We look forward to awarding more members with this award as we know how much we all love Troopers helping Troopers. More information can be found here Armorer Rocker Patches Rocker patches are now available for the Armorer Program, there is currently just the one patch, and members are eligible to receive two of them once they reach Level 2, "Armorer". More information can be found here Want to setup a "Fire Team? the Fire Team program is completely optional, and is intended to help form a common identity and spirit of camaraderie among 501st Legion Stormtroopers in the same geographic area/garrison that troop together. Fire Teams are not officially recognized by the 501st Legion nor the FISD, although they will be able to access a Fire Team sub-forum on the detachment website. You can find more information here. For those interested here is the original discussion on the creation of Fire teams here With Unquestioned Loyalty Mark Ryner TK-4584 "captsafe66" Fire Team Relations 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. 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! You can find more information on the programs here. For those unaware it is possible to achieve extra awards at Expert Infantry for each additional version costume you have approved, additional awards are not issued with another Expert Infantry number (you are only issued 1 Expert Infantry number) but you will see a star above the award on your profile and the thread title will show [APPROVED] 2nd, [APPROVED] 3rd, [APPROVED] 4th and so on. Multiple EIB award recipients and info here NOTE If you are approved with a "2nd Version" of a particular costume that you are already approved with you do not receive an additional award, there is only 1 award issued for each costume version ie: only 1 x Hero, 1 x Stunt, 1 x HWT, 1 x ESB, 1 x TFA and so on. If you have a second/additional version costume approved you will see "2nd Version" and [APPROVED] added to the thread title, no additional profile stars (more info on profile awards here) For those of you who have a particular issue (or issues) before or after submitting for Expert Infantry / Centurion level approval, in order to get you an answer faster you can now privately contact the entire Deployment Officer team at one time! Questions about fitting, repairs, CRL standards/requirements or anything pertaining to reaching Levels 2 and 3 are not only welcomed, but encouraged. Keep in mind that no question is too small, and that your queries will only be seen by the D.O. Staff. We are here to help in any way we can, so please feel free to send us a message by clicking on this link: @Deployment Officer Team and we will get back to you A.S.A.P.! More info here This area lists all those who have gone above and beyond basic approval toward screen accuracy and obtained EIB or Centurion or both.
