psst. "While our Expect Infantry " Expert? or do we have a new category for soon-to-be-approved suits? :-)

on one hand, RSPM would defend their armour sizing to the death because 'they are derived from the original'. on the other hand, those look short. do your shins have proper bottom edges, or were they maybe trimmed a lot to fit you?

body shape matters (ectomorph, mesomorph, endomorph )when buying a suit solely for which vendor to buy from. the getting started thread area covers that pretty well. TBH, avoid pre-built kits unless you have to, then send them lots of pictures and measurements and if they don't ask oodles of questions, don't pull the trigger. AM kits have extra large sides. Again, TBH, Stormtrooper armours are the best costumes in the legion. Again, TBH, stormtrooper armours aren't for everyone. SnowTroopers and Scoys are also cool and better suited for some Dad Bods.

There is no such thing as 501st approved. That is not an accurate statement. He may claim he worked with originals ... But original what? Moulds? Movie cast worn suits? Again, like recasters, this is not likely accurate nor any assurance of quality.

Hi. If you haven't already, be sure to join the Capital City Garrison forum as we are your home unit :-)

you want the extra size for gell soles :-)

hey. i like paint templates. if you have a really steady hand and mix paint perfectly, maybe you won't need them. if you use them be careful about the placement, curves the right way, pencil thickness from the cheek. then put one on slowly and press it down as flat as you can. do the other. then paint white paint in the template and let it dry. paint a second coat of white. let it dry. the white pain fills all the gaps and imperfect spots. the blue will sit perfect now. paint: mix it. a lot. an awful lot. when you feel done, keep mixing. i uses a thin wooden stir stick from coffee shops. go nuts slowly mixing it. like for five minutes. then paint. if the blue goes on less than perfectly blue, this is the first coat. let it dry. repeat. same for any template really and the black edges around traps. brushes: the bigger the brush the bigger the mess. use a decent size round pointed one. L2 and L3 Build it to the red standards. red meets or exceeds blue in most cases since it (L3) is highest echelon. After basic approval at your garrison, make your EIB thread here with all the pics hosted somewhere else and just linked here. Once that award is in hand, repeat for Centurion. easy peasy.

so, any updates? suit comparison? did they fit properly?

the extreme racing undersuit is good winter warmth for parades. i wore underarmour heat gear shorts and t-shirt in my fotk. cloth gaskets, i cant imagine the speed it would get toasty with chocolate scented floor mat gaskets :-)

aw, i never did get an FOTK coin. OG75 badge yes. i forget if there were first 75 coins now.

search Galactic Academy, sign her up, and she gets her own GA Id number just like Dad. Any costume counts, they are all about the experience not the details. if assistance technology is prevalent, there are lots of cool ways to incorporate things. make a project out of it, include her, sign up on the detachments that cover a costume she likes, or the rebel legion or mandos, and when she turns 18, give her a TK box :-)

if she is over 18, she joins, as a handler or in a costume, and you troop, or if she is already a member, you join her :-) if she is not, that is up to your local garrison. some events are not kid friendly / safe / appropriate. e.g. younglings can join the Galactic Academy, and they have rules about trooping, mainly, accompanied / supervised by parent / guardian at all times. I haven't looked at specifics in a while, but adults used to be limited to not in costume so they were obviously a eagle-eyed parent watching over kids. given the special circumstances, I am sure your local garrison will be happy to make trooping with her possible. also, nothing stops you from escorting her around on Halloween, or her birthdays, etc.

... I hope they was with cold water...
