Guys - As you can see on the previous replies there is obviously issues with the process so far, a thread for the shirt has been started to generate demand but as far as who can buy it is going to have to be straightened out. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

...and I listened to your guidance and took the shirt to Tom. He them took it to the MBO ans as it states on the shirt thread I created they both approved the shirt to be sold. If there is an issue with the process after that and it needs redirection then it would be fantastic if someone would offer actual help instead of resistance. Sure, I welcome the quoting of rules and regulations but I have come to expect the quoting to be followed up with guidance, not this nonsense that has taken place this morning.

I have absolutely no desire to debate the content of your original post that was apparently dripping with sarcasm. There are unlimited examples of stating facts on this forum and this "non-member" is not going to argue with an "old school elite" about the nature of his comment. I would have more than welcomed simple redirection of my project, that's one of the things that I already love so much about the FISD is that most people have a genuine desire to help someone achieve what they set out to do. Hey though, free speech and all that right? You're more than allowed to be witty with your comments. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Wow you two are really showing the "Troopers helping troopers" example here. Neither of you have asked about the scenario instead you snipe comments towards the situation instead of maybe oh I don't know...maybe trying to help get what I'm trying to do on the right track? Yes, you have an excited non-member who went out of his way to come up with a shirt before his first troop even because he is so impressed with this organization that he donates time, money and effort in any way he can to be a part of it until he gets his kit and starts his journey. There isn't even any money to be made on this so what is your angle exactly? Obviously there is confusion about the process here, so what do I need to do to get this project on track?

Lewis himself told me that an emery board (for filing nails) works to file it down some or careful x-acto handy work will do the job.

I'm sorry? I was told directly from Tom that he and the MBO authorized my selling of the shirt. Did I miss something?

The FISD shirt is here: (details coming soon) http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/21673-official-501stfisd-t-shirt/page__fromsearch__1

If I remember correctly the troopers would rotate their entire upper body if they needed to look in a particular direction, except the hero ones. Am I wrong? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Can you guys show some pictures of the result? I am studying up in preparation for receiving my RT. Thanks. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Lots of us have been waiting but that should just indicate to you how good they are. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Awesome. Thanks for clearing that up. I was concerned for my RT needed self. Haha Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Rare earth magnets are NO JOKE! Lol I just received 20 3/4" x 1/4" N42 magnets and of course my childhood curiosity from science class came out and I HAD to try and mess with them. 10 minutes later I now have 17 rare earth magnets. Be careful fellow noobs and wear gloves. Heed the warnings of others who have blazed the trails. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Absolutely fantastic pictures. : ) Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Wow. Well said, sir and much respect. I can't wait to see what you do with your next build. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Woohoo! Do you sell individual pieces of your kits like that? I'm sure I would want one when you finalize the product. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I wanted to do a start to finish how to detailing a couple steps in the process for seriously unskilled people who have never done anything like this before....like myself. lol First, creating the nylon snap "plates". (...has anyone come up with a better name than "plates" for this?) Here are the tools that I used: My "workspace" was created on a section of pegboard, pretty simple. ($3.00 at Ace Hardware) Dritz 1" wide Nylon Strapping from Walmart. (Forgot to notate the price but about $2.00 per roll.) Ace brand combination square. ($7.00) Weller brand soldering iron kit w/3 tips from Ace Hardware. ($18.99) Fiskars Ultimate Scissors from Walmart. ($15.00) The come apart to be used as a knife with a handle...I thought they were cool. lol White grease pencil from Ace Hardware. ($.89) I adjusted the combo square to just over 2". (Over 2" to allow for the blunt pencil marking.) I made marks on the entire length of the roll of strapping and then used the scissors to cut the strips. Then you line up one of the peg board holes with the center of the nylon piece. Heat the soldering iron and simply push through the nylon cleanly in and out. The soldering iron makes a clean hole and melts the nylon enough to prevent fraying. I used the side of the soldering iron tip and gently dragged it across the ends of the cut pieces to melt the nylon to prevent fraying on each end. For the snaps I bought Tandy Line 24 snaps w/black plated finish from tandyleatherfactory.com ($4.99 per 10 snaps) I also went ahead and bought the Tandy Snap Setter Kit that will work for various snaps. ($22.99) For the "cap" part (the rounded head part of the snap): Cap In the proper concave part of the anvil. Place nylon over cap. Place socket on top of nylon. Use the largest set in the kit and be sure to keep the cap centered in the anvil and the set as vertical as possible when hammering. Hammer until parts are tight together with no loose play. DO NOT OVER HAMMER. The post of cap will flatten onto socket. Eyelets (the part the cap snaps into) Flip the anvil over to the flat side and place stud. Nylon, eyelet and then hammer. Stud will flatten into eyelet. TA-DA!

Lmao Some humor to start my day off with, thanks. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I love the commentary. Lol I can't wait to get my RT kit! I even asked Rob if I could get him to send my helmet ahead of the rest. Haha Can't wait to see more from your build! Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Ah, that sucks. Sorry to hear. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Yes....how? Since you like to teach, teach us how NOT to do that. *Heavy on the sarcasm because I am up early for work on a Sunday and feel like poking fun at you because you are chilling in Hawaii.* lol Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
