As long as you are doing Phasma (or for that matter Captain Cardinal), yes. The cape covers the hinge. As I understand it, for the standard FO white grunt the screen suits did not have a yoke per se, but a combined one-piece back/underchest made of a flexible (and apparently proprietary) material that allowed one to put it on like a tank top. Pretty much like you see in the Gwen Christie photo except no seams, hinges, or anything like that. Apparently Anovos was unable to replicate that in a manner that would allow for mass production, so they took the Phasma route.

Is this for a kit or an assembled F-11D? Also, does it come with the tactical light?

So apparently there is at least one of the standard FOTK kits out here. This showed up on Twitter yesterday - take a close look at the top of the "yoke":

Do a search for Crow Props on Facebook and you'll find his store.

Not sure what adhesive RS uses when building their commissioned kits, but taking it apart may not be a viable option. But instead of building an entirely new kit, another option is to order a set of biceps from them and build them yourself. It's an easy part to build, and I'm told RS is good about selling spare parts. When you sent them your upper arm measurements, did you take your measurements while in a fully-flexed bicep position?

Unless you willing to pay in full upfront and wait for an indeterminate amount of time, I think the key to having a happy dealing with Anovos is buying the stuff they actually have in stock. They seem to be pretty good when it comes to that. On the other hand, if you are going in as part of a preorder and/or an interest list, they consider you less of a customer and more of an investor. Expecting them to meet their stated delivery date will most likely lead to disappointment.

Other than the longer extended part on the Executioner, what exactly about the TD changed?

I would go with satin.

The cod is definitely weird. Also, that trooper on the left is suffering from an acute case of "Happy Trooper" and could use a taint strap.

No shame in needing assistance to get into these kits ... ;-) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Based on other work I've seen, 2.75" seems to be a bit large for the shoulder cog. Perhaps 2" - 2.5" would be more accurate?

For anyone who still needs one. Good until 11pm ET today.

It's a TFA snowtrooper pack. Jim Tripon (jimmiroquai) has sold them in kit form. Like all of his stuff, it's made of his flexible fiberglass. WTF also has a kit under development. I believe his is vacuformed ABS.

Nicely done. Where did you get the spare parts - back/yoke, thermal detonator, and shoulders? Also, what size (diameter) are your shoulder cogs?

You can bring the kidney plate up a bit and/or the upper back plate down a bit so that the gap space between the butt/kidney and kidney/back is more or less the same. But that's a fitting tweak and shouldn't affect your application for the purposes of 501st membership at tne basic level.

Inspirational job! Can't wait for my spare parts to arrive so that I can start my Executioner conversion.

FISD is where I would put them.

The book also specifically says that Phasma had her chromed-out heavy rifle (and sidearm - didn't know she carried one) manufactured in secret just for her, but nothing about Cardinal's blaster being anything more than a red F-11D. As indirect as that is, it still provides a bit more backing to the "it's just a red F-11D" theory.

That's a good idea, actually. If he has access to a particular lid, he can create files for the decals and print/sell them as needed. He's done so for virtually every OT TK lid out there.

The book refers to his blaster as a "gleaming red" and in a few places mentions him holstering his blaster. That implies a standard F-11D since there is no easy way to holster the larger Heavy or Phasma rifle version. IMO, it's safe to say that if you take the white parts of a standard F-11D and print/paint them in red, you are good to go.

Ah, ok. It must be the Executioner helmet but seen from the non-painted side, then.

I assume you've already contacted Jim directly - perhaps he can supply them for you? On an unrelated note ... where did you find this image? This is the first time I've seen what appears to be a 100% accurate TLJ helmet from a full-on profile view and to this scale.

Also, if you are looking for an alternate source for gloves, there is EndorFinders. I can't attest to their quality (mine are from ImperialBoots), but they are certainly far cheaper and seem to be more available. I may end up buying a spare set from them. https://www.endorfinders.com/costume-accessories/tfa-stormtrooper-gloves

If you have access to a 3D printer, there are free files here at FISD that you can download to print/assemble your own rifle and pistol. Or if you want something already assembled, Heston 3D Solutions on Etsy seems to be a popular choice. Look here: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/157-tfa-f-11d-pistol-and-other-weapons/
