  1. I am helping some friends with their Commander & Incinerator builds and am at a loss for sourcing the u channel trim & correct size. I have reviewed all the links available on the subject but none can give me a definitive answer due to broken images, dead links, unanswered questions, etc...

    Can anyone offer up some recent/current information or sources, preferably in North America?

  2. Wow! That must have been a VERY tough decision; I don’t envy the FISD staff at all.

    Everyone who submitted designs worked their butts off & should be very proud of themselves. I am SO glad other designs will be used. There was just so much good stuff submitted & it would be waste to not use them.
    It is very clear we have a wealth of talent within the detachment. Hopefully there are many more contests throughout the year to utilize that talent.

    Thank you to everyone who devoted time & energy to this contest & helped prove that the FISD really is the best detachment in the Legion!

  3. Alrighty! Here are the latest updated versions of our design. (...just a few minor tweaks left before they are officially submitted.)

    We now also have a bucket+blaster version. ;) We can't decide which one we like best....

  4. Here is a concept that me & Pyrates have been working on together... It is still a "work in progress; it has changed since these versions.....but this is the over-all "feel" of what it will end up as.

    Obviously this will not work as a patch design, it was designed solely for a t-shirt. (I guess it could be adapted to a patch, but some of the "visual back ground" will be lost or have to be re-done.)
    I am still refining the details and layers but thought I'd share what we have so far....

    We hope you like concept. ;)

  5. As I was soooo excited to start, I naturally wanted to start with the helmet. Having never worked with armour or ABS ever (and for fear of screwing up the helmet) I chose to work on the easy parts first. (hand plates, shoulder bells & biceps.) Starting on those parts first gave me the chance to get a feel for working with the armour & gain some confidence & skill.

  6. In all honesty (and as an Alpha suit owner) $2,225.00 isn't actually all that bad... In addition to the all the changes that may help ease assembly & some upgrades, you get accurate boots and gloves from the actual manufacturer....and much better gaskets.

    I wouldn't trade my Anovos TFA armour for anything....and I would buy/do it all over again in a heartbeat.

    (This is just my personal opinion.....)
