I've retired my TK Death Trooper (for now). I have since become fortunate enough to find a good deal on a complete set of RS Propmasters ANH armor. I made a few small adjustments and promptly earned approval from my garrison. I'll be adding to my kill count with this costume for a while! 7. Barbara Bush Childrens' Hospital Visit - Portland, ME 11/17/23 My first troop in the clean white armor brought me to the Barbara Bush Childrens' Hospital in Portland, ME. We were only in costume for about 45 minutes but it was a really positive experience. I hope to get more opportunities to do these kinds of troops again in the near future Troopers in attendance: TK-80494 TK-71319 TB-81414 DZ-12287

A sad day for FISD Our dear friend Terrell Reber
mikedwelle94 replied to Sly11's topic in Announcements
Extremely saddened to learn of Terrell's passing. He's always been amazing to deal with when ordering parts and helmets. I purchased one of his red ABS kits secondhand very recently and will be wearing it proudly. -
That sure is a lot of things "wrong" with my kit that were about to be totally overlooked during my fiancée's first application attempt. She would have been approved if not for the thigh cover strip. For years we've had TKCs and ICNs get in for base (and Centurion) approval without some of the things Glen has mentioned, such as the shape of the shoulder bells and a screw in the back plate. To me that just looks like a flick of dirt or a scuff mark.

Hey all, sorry for vanishing. Long story, not gonna get into it here. I'm in talks with some people interested in purchasing this armor. Unexpected things came up so I needed to offload this. The requested change has been made to the thigh cover strip, but you will be receiving a new set of suited up photos from whomever picks this up. I'll let you know who it is when the kit ships. It was a pleasure working with you all on this CRL. I hope to collaborate again one day on a new project.

Do you know if this helmet file will be made available to purchase? I would love to print it myself. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk -
Fallen Order Heavy Assault Stormtrooper
mikedwelle94 replied to TheLoneRanger's topic in Hard Armor (General Discussion)
Hey, I don't know if you ordered a helmet yet but I found this one on etsy. It's symmetrical and looks pretty close to the game model https://www.etsy.com/listing/517031617/star-wars-stormtrooper-helmet-symmetric?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=star+wars+stormtrooper+helmet&ref=sr_gallery-1-1&organic_search_click=1 -
You are a wizard at weathering. Looking forward to seeing more! Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Yes, it does look like we need to adjust our cover strip. Here's the best shot of the bottom of that thigh that I could find. It's dang near impossible to look at that detail in game because you can't tilt the camera at the right angle to view it. We'll get you a new shot of that armor piece and of Holley wearing the kit with the adjustment made sometime within the next day or two.

Holley and I got back from our first professional photoshoot with the new costume. All we have (for now) are the low-res JPEGs, but we'll get the hi-res versions later on for whichever photos we pick out. Photo credit goes to Avalon Photo: https://www.instagram.com/avalonphotonh/ A few highlights from the shoot:

Yeah, that's the right game. The models are directly extracted from the game's files. The amount of weathering on the models is what was intended to be in game... although it's sometimes hard to see in game play because of the lighting and environment. I booted up my Xbox and took these pictures of my TV screen. On Felucia, in certain lighting, it's easier to see that this costume is actually pretty dirty. Darth Aloha is right about the black stripe on the ear. Since it's seen in game, it ought to be seen on the real life costume.

Love the weathering. Can't wait to see more! Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I used these references for my build. https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/18339-high-resolution-kashyyyk-stormtrooper-images-35-images/ https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/18651-proposed-requirements-for-the-phase-stormtrooper/ The weathering and paint chips are in the same spots on every variant of TFU armor, so I used whatever reference I found which had the highest resolution - in this case it was the prologue Kashyyyk TK. The only difference between the KTK and the regular TFU TK is the helmet. I also want to make sure we don't call it the "Phase III Stormtrooper".... that's an unofficial name coined by one of the forum members here. Lol

First post edited. I copied and pasted the text from the TK Commander, and removed all references to the blue markings. Another change I made was to make weathering a basic requirement for approval. I strongly believe that if one is to build this costume, it should be made to be recognizable as the trooper from the game. That will help this costume to stand out from the other basic white TKs. I also decided not to include the holster as an optional accessory... because this trooper doesn't have one! And neither do the other TFU troopers, for that matter. I would suggest those CRLs be edited to remove the holster. That shouldn't stop people from adding one in later for trooping purposes - I just don't believe they should be present on the costume during the application process.

Proposed Requirements for the Phase Stormtrooper
mikedwelle94 replied to RogueTrooper's topic in The Force Unleashed Costumes
Sorry to revive this old thread, but I just built this costume. Is it safe to say this CRL would be green lit as soon as pictures of the costume are submitted and reviewed? I know there were some recent changes to the CRL of the TK Commander, from which this would pretty much be a copy+paste, minus the blue markings. I'll be setting up the backdrop and taking photos tomorrow evening if everyone's on the same page as far as the costume requirements go. -
The Force Unleashed Stormtrooper armor build (Anovos)
mikedwelle94 replied to mikedwelle94's topic in TFU TK Build Threads
At least one member of our GML team has already seen it in person I shaved off a lot of plastic early this morning and this is the result: Still need to smooth down the cut edges with a sanding bit and trim down the size of the shoulder bells and biceps. Installation of the knee plate and thigh ammo strip will be next.
