Looking forward to the year ahead, good luck all

I had no luck with plyers, I found most wouldn't close all the way around, I did find a way to make the snaps hold better with the tools supplied and a screwdriver http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/28934-howto-make-snaps-hold/

Hello and welcome aboard, it's a brave man to ask questions, a silly man who doesn't , good luck with the build

Congratulations trooper

Oh happy day, my Big Brown Bag arrived, thank you once again Joseph for running this competition, I'm one happy Stormtrooper

Hello and welcome aboard trooper

Good luck you have a lot of work ahead of you

Have a look at Tony's thread, should find it helpful http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/31877-ukswraths-fotk-build-thread-tk-10116/

I have been using standard black rubber gloves

Nice work

Nice work so far, I found using a sliver based paint really helps to fill in left over lines in 3D printed parts, just apply a few thick coats allowing tor dry in between, easy to sand too.

Yes I believe it's 5 posts minimum

Looking forward to the progress and photos

DSS TROOP REPORT EVENT: Tricia the Jumbo 60th Birthday Party LOCATION: Perth Zoo DATE:29th January 2017 TIME: 9:30 LANDSCAPE/WEATHER: Cloudy with Light Showers and a 25deg muggy day after a previous 40deg day TROOPERS: TB13310 Liz - TK85421 Glen gmrhodes13 - ID59226 Jerry Jezzapm - TI98311 Peter Heinous - TK24812 Trevor StormieT - IC36367 Luk Verfolger - SL51164 Stuart DV64 - IG12326 Ben Junglist REPORT: All 501st members met at gate 5 at 9:30, soon after we made our way to a very nice conference room to suit up. Once in costume we all headed out to be engulfed in many people wanting team photographs and selfies. We soon continued to take a long stroll around the entire zoo encountering more onlookers and many more photo opportunities. As 11:30am approached we retreated back to our changing room and refreshed ourselves to head back out at 12:00 noon to meet the main star of the show Tricia the elephant who’s birthday it was at the ripe age of 60yrs. Tricia was presented with a fruit cake in the shape of the 60 figure. Liz our Squad leader had the chance to personally hand Tricia the elephant a 501st birthday certificate from the whole squad and hand feed her with some food. As Tricia was lead back to her enclosure the entire squad was lucky enough to get a photo opportunity with the birthday girl. After we roamed the zoo grounds once again stopping for more photos and waving hello to some of the zoo's inhabitants. We all then headed back to change and have some well deserved rest, food and refreshments. HAPPY PEOPLE: Over whelming happy faces UNHAPPY PEOPLE: A few small children MISSION STATUS: complete REPORT BY: Ben (Junglist) IG12326

Congrats and welcome aboard trooper

DSS Troop Report EVENT: Rogue One Screening - Outdoor Cinema LOCATION: Murdoch Uni, Lower Bush Court, South Street, Murdoch DATE: Saturday 21st January TIME: 6pm - 7:30pm (Movie Until about 10:45) LANDSCAPE/WEATHER: Outdoors, fine weather TROOPERS: TR13310 - Liz TK85421 - Q TI4748 - Ken ID59226 - Jerry IC36367 - Luke IG21897 - Johnathon TD84000 - Kev TD84001 - Tahlee TK671 - Mark TK10469 - Ben IG10589 - Tom SL51164 - Lord Bossy WRANGLERS: Marie Em REPORT: It seemed we all arrived arrived around 6:00, but this year i seemed easier to just get changed on the ground in front of everybody. Mark seemed to be the only one to remember that it was nice and air-conditioned in the projector room where we got changed last year. Once most of us were ready the staff had some photos with us and we headed out to take some photos with the patrons waiting, and usher them inside. Stuart played statue inside while the rest of us greeted new arrivals and took more photos. It seemed much quieter than last years TFA screening. It was a very relaxed troop, giving us plenty of time to chat, and take some fun photos. However the turnout was somewhat disappointing compared to the large audience from last year, and the lack of kids dressed up. It was still great fun, and good to have a large turnout of all us troopers. Just before 7:30 we began to get changed and went to sit down to watch the movie together and with family and friends.

Have you asked over at Pathfinders http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?act=home, they are looking after shoretroopers

Great work team

You could try some auto cutting polish on it, may work.

I glued in place then used automotive bondo (filler), sanded then primer.

Preparing to be grandfathered and I don't even have kids or grandkids

I had some spray paint handy so used that for a better coating, primer grey followed by a gloss clear

Me too
