Just a couple of things you could address. Helmet appears to be sitting high, you may want to see if you can adjust the padding, or tilt the helmet back so there is not as much black showing. Looks like your shoulder straps are not under your elastic straps in the rear photo, they should also be centered to teh backplate. Also shins are not quite closed Brow trim is on an angle You may notice your posterior is sticking out, I came up with a V tab system which reduces this, may be worth a try. 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.

There is a build support group on Facebook which may be able to help you https://www.facebook.com/groups/tktalkie/

Congratulations trooper and welcome to the Centurion ranks

Good luck with approval, hope to see you approved very soon. Once you receive approval you can request higher TK access here Also with adding photos you need to use the link with the file extension ie: .jpp, .gif, .png, how to thread here Good luck

You can go up in size for your coverstrips, we normally try to add any extra to the rears as the public mostly see the fronts. Note some screen photos show quite a lot of area before the ridges If you go wider on the front of your shins I would also do the same to the thighs so they match, won't look out of place then As always it is entirely up to your GML as they will be looking after your approval.

Need Help Ask the Deployment Officers Advance to 1500 Advanced Tactics Awards Social Media Newsletter Editor Staff List 2026 Follow FISD In loving memory of 25087 Kerrin ‘Pecklez’ Peck, a cherished member of the Redback Garrison since 2016 and Venom Squad XO. Kerrin’s passion for trooping, especially alongside her husband Daniel and son Jordy, brought joy to all. Her impressive roster, including Maul, Jango Fett, Jawa and Shadow Trooper costumes, reflected her dedication and skill. Kerrin's willingness to share her guidance and support with new members exemplified her generous spirit. Whether at conventions, local events or one of her favourites, Star Wars Dreamworld Weekends, her presence brightened every gathering. Kerrin’s legacy lives on in the hearts of the Redback Garrison, and she will be deeply missed. Our thoughts and love are with her family and friends during this difficult time Kerrin's vibrant spirit touched the lives of so many. A heart of gold who brought buckets of joy to everyone around them, with their infectious happiness and kindness. The memories of Pecklez warmth and generosity will live on forever in our hearts. Condolences to her garrison, family and friends "Buckets Off" The 501st French Garrison has once again been struck a heavy blow to its heart. Tristan Grécos, also known as TK 1871, passed away last week after being diagnosed with aggressive cancer He joined us in 2006 with his Stormtrooper armor and distinguished himself notably at the 2007 Rose Parade Over the years, he was always available, dedicated, ready to help, and very pleasant company. We will always remember him as a dear friend, full of qualities, positive, committed, and an exceptional companion to all those who had the privilege of participating in events alongside him. Condolences to his garrison, family and friends "Buckets Off" Greetings Troopers, This month I am pleased to announce two changes to the staff team: @Tall_Trooper has been promoted from IPM to Detachment Public Relations Officer (DPRO). This recognises the hard work they have been putting in on our social media channels. New to the team is @astrosally coming in as an IPM. Sally is joining the team to help with the Valkyries, our group for female troopers in white, or chrome, armour. This year is the 20th anniversary of the First Imperial Stormtrooper detachment. We will be celebrating this with a steady stream of merch, not just the coin run already in progress. If you don't want to miss out there's a few things you can do. Subscribe to the Detachment Merch Forum https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/47-detachment-merchandise/ Keep an eye on the Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/www.whitearmor.net And also make sure you visit the forum regularly to keep up with any changes and updates as they happen! With Unquestioned Loyalty Chris Pearson TK-10991 "themaninthesuitcase" Detachment Leader Greeting Troopers! Before we cover the merch business I would like to announce that we have added to the DMBO staff! Congratulations to Adam ( @revlimiter ) for joining the team. Adam has been the artist behind many of our wonderful pieces of merch over the course of the last several years. Adam has been a member of the FISD staff for a while as part of the DPRO team, but I am very happy to have him join me officially as part of the MBO team, so please join me congratulating him. Now down to usual business Old Business "FISD EIB Coins" I still have a few of the Stepping out Trooper EI coins for new EI members or members the have never bough ten an EI coin. The next EI coin will be a gold version of our 20th Anniversary coin, so if you are eligible to order an EI coin, and you'd prefer not to have an Anniversary edition, grab one of these before they aren't available any longer! In order to buy one, you must have an approved EI costume and you can not have ever bought an EIB coin from any pervious runs. 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 still open Pin Run The pin run for Expert Infantry, Centurion and Attaché will begin soon, we are still researching vendors, but we hope to have one selected and get the run open. You can find more information here. 20th Anniversary Coin Run The coin run closed on 9 Feb 2026. I don't have any new updates currently, but I still expect to see these in the hands of troopers by early April. I will post more updates as I get them on the run thread, that can be found here. NEW BUSINESS I have submitted the first few new merch items for this term to LMBO. While most of this years merch will be Anniversary related, know that there are a few items that we discussed in the past that we are working on currently that will not be anniversary related. There will be at least one Anniversary patch, possibly two, The FISD war banner from last term has been submitted for approval. And we are working on designs for the 20th Anniversary Racing shirt. While I won't spoil them now, Please keep an eye on the forum and the various FISD Social Media platforms for announcements. And as always, questions, comments, thoughts, suggestions, are welcome, and please feel free to reach out to either Adam or myself!

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 Stormtrooper Trooping Hacks and Ideas A great thread full of items/ideas which may make your trooping experience a little easier. By Justin - TK9921 @evnltr Thread can be found here Currently (as of 8th March 2026 ) there are 33,813 approved costumes in the legion, out of these there are 4722 under the TK ID which is 13.97% of all approved 501st costumes. Interestingly if you look back through previous totals Stormtroopers equated to over 20% which shows a decline in our ranks. Lucasfilm Retail Moratorium Lift May 2026 For most of the year we are under an embargo from Lucasfilm and can not attend retail locations unless prior approval has been given by them. At certain times of the year this embargo is lifted, generally around Movie releases, May 4th, Force Friday etc, the recent correspondence from LFL outlines the lift of the embargo: Lucasfilm has informed LEC that the retail moratorium is being lifted May 2-10. During this time, fan groups can appear in costume at retailers that sell Star Wars merchandise. All fans, costumed or otherwise, can participate with venues of their choice during this window of time with the restriction that costumed appearances must not be used in the advertising of the event or retail location. Although these appearances will be treated like open invitations, we leave it to the fan groups to independently organize around these events as they see fit. Lucasfilm 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. Costumed fans should not pose with merchandise or use the appearance to promote a specific product. 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. In addition to the retail appearance lift, Lucasfilm is happy to allow fan groups to make appearances at their local theaters during the theatrical run of The Mandalorian and Grogu. Appearances should be limited to the theatre lobby and should not be advertised prior to appearance. Fan groups are allowed to word directly with their local theaters to schedule these appearances. Lucasfilm may send out invitations on behalf of theater chains that are interested in costumed fan appearances. Appearances are subject to whatever rules are in place at the local theater and it will need to be made clear that you are fans in costumes and not official Star Wars character appearances. *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. Excellence never goes out of style! Please welcome TK-30874 to the Stormtrooper Hall of Fame, February 2026! @0megaRed Troop log can be found here.

Imperial Attaché Outstanding Achievement Award Is the Attaché position vacant for your Squad/Garrison/Outpost? Interested in becoming an Attaché? Contact me by PM or apply in the thread below: With Unquestioned Loyalty Jonatan Östling TK-23592 "Nairy" Attaché Ambassador Master Armorer Program 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). 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 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.

File Name: Luke Skywalker's X-Wing Targeting Computer Designer: ASTDrones Last Update: 09/03/2026 File-https://makerworld.com/en/models/2496847-luke-skywalker-s-x-wing-targeting-computer?from=search#profileId-2744325 Description: Thanks for checking out my model! Interested in supporting my work or selling prints? Support Crew – Show some love and help keep the projects flowing Galactic Maker Foundry – Sell physical prints of my original designs Foundry License+ – Sell prints and use my photos for listings 🎉 Supporter-only Discord coming soon – get early access, tips, and sneak peeks! This project recreates Luke Skywalker’s X-Wing targeting computer from the iconic Death Star trench run scene in Star Wars: A New Hope. The prop features a looping trench run targeting display, illuminated control panel LEDs, and optional sound, recreating the look of the targeting computer seen inside Luke’s X-Wing cockpit during the final attack on the Death Star. This isn’t meant to be a 100% screen-accurate replica of Luke Skywalker’s X-Wing Targeting Computer from Star Wars: A New Hope. There are actually two pretty distinct versions seen in the scene — the physical prop itself, and the version shown with the screen, buttons, and lights. Trying to combine both into one small desktop unit didn’t really work the way I wanted, so I ended up taking a more inspired-by approach instead. I wanted this to still feel recognisable and fit the Star Wars look, while also working as a compact display piece. I also took a bit of inspiration from the X-Wing Targeting Computer card art from the Star Wars TCG, which helped shape some of the design choices. So while it’s not a perfect one-to-one replica, it’s my own take on the targeting computer that blends elements from the different versions into something I think looks right at home on a desk or display shelf. The system is powered by a Raspberry Pi 3B, which automatically boots and launches the fullscreen video display when powered on. Once assembled, the targeting computer acts as a standalone sci-fi display piece perfect for desks, shelves, or Star Wars collections. Features • Looping Death Star trench run targeting display • Screen inspired control panel layout • Multiple LED indicator lights across the front panel • Optional audio with adjustable volume • Powered by Raspberry Pi 3B • Automatically boots straight into the video display • Designed for a 3.5" HDMI screen Clear/Transparent Filament Unfortuneatly Bambu Lab doesn't make a clear filament, I used Clear Transparent PLA filament from Sunlu using the Bambu Lab Translucent PLA preset. But any clear filament should do fine as long as you change the preset to the correct filament you are using Images:

File Name: Comlink Prop Holder Display Stand Designer: humperdingle Last Update: 09/03/2026 File-https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7310917 Description: Please ignore my awful hand painting! A simple little display stand for your Star Wars Comlink prop piece. No support required if printed on its back. The semi circle cutout will fit a 29mm outer diameter Comlink. Adjust in slicer if you need it bigger. If you print and enjoy the item, please do drop it a like :) Images:

Some have done this over the years, Anovos helmet was scanned and a colour code was created by an automotive supplier. I had to match some U trim and used water based acrylics, had them on hand, and was easy to eye match the color, once I was happy with the color I locked it with a gloss clear coat. Like any painted pieces you have to take care, anything I have painted I make fabric pouches so the pieces don't touch in transit.

Can't say I've seen a complete ready to wear DN set of armor so can't comment on that. There is no ESB Hero, albeit helmets from ANH had been used in ESB so you could see Hero or Stun variants. Shadow trooper you would need to visit Spec Ops forum https://specops501st.com/ OT Stormtrooper info here FO Stormtrooper info here

We don't normally fill the gap between the ears and helmet, you will need to check with your local GML if this is approvable. RS do a very nice helmet.

Yes, but there are a few different versions so we will have to see what happens with the CRL, are some differences in accessories, holster, end cap paint, pauldrons etc etc depending on which show. There is a remnant with RO style armor & helmet and also a RO style armor, Anovos OT helmet and OT boots.

Hello and welcome, this thread is full of information for the first time builder Good luck with the research

Sometimes it can take more work to fix a piece than to start over again. Once you have issues in the paint I have found it very difficult to overcome it fully. Paint thickness, drying and types are the 3 biggest issues. Like most things in life you live and learn and a lot is trial and error. You have the right attitude and keep at it, you will get there in the end.

A tedious job, but you will win in the end, don't loose hope

No problems at all, that's what we are here for, "troopers helping troopers"
