Right now I'm not seeing either of them passing. The first one (Chelsea Gothic) has a zipper on the inside that is visible. Only the TFA TK boots are allowed a visible zipper in the CRL. They are also missing the front panel. The second one has the extra seam line on the outside and also would need a front flap. As-is right now, neither are approvable per the CRL I'm afraid.

Awesome pix - thanks for sharing! Looks like a great time

FISD is pleased to announce the addition of a new area in the Advanced Tactics forum dedicated to those ready to submit for basic 501st TK approval. This section will allow future Troopers the opportunity to submit photos of their completed build to be reviewed by the Staff, Imperial Attaches and others in preparation for forwarding it to their GML for approval. Any and all advice/suggestions given will be specific, constructive, helpful and respectful. Please note that this program will NOT take the place of your local GML, as Detachments are not chartered for costume approval and can not override a GMLs decision, but is instead a peer review program designed to help you look your best and offer guidance and positive feedback. You will have the opportunity to ask questions about your completed armor, weapons (if applicable), accessories, etc. and get accurate information from the experts here at the FISD.. the definitive home of TKs worldwide. For more information on this program, you can find the following: TK Pre-Approval Forum Area: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/193-request-tk-pre-approval/ TK Pre-Approval Overview: TK Pre-Approval Requests: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/193-request-tk-pre-approval/

WHAT THIS PROGRAM IS: A dedicated forum where members can submit their completed stormtrooper costume for peer review prior to formal submission to their GML. Your armor will be reviewed and suggestions made by the FISD Staff and Imperial Attaché team, but detachment members can also provide peer review on any submission. All feedback provided will be specific, constructive, respectful, and helpful. Any feedback that is deemed negative, derogatory, inflammatory, or otherwise offensive will be deleted, and the poster can be subject to account suspension for repeated offenses. You may also be provided suggestions for attaining the rank of EI (Expert Infantry) and Centurion levels should you wish to pursue higher levels of screen accuracy. WHAT THIS PROGRAM IS NOT: This program is not a replacement for the GML approval process, as Detachments are not charted to approve costumes for membership. While a costume that passes Detachment peer review should be in a state to be accepted by a GML, Detachments cannot override a GMLs decision, nor are GMLs bound to accept the ruling of a detachment costume approval. That said, as a general rule the goal is that any costume that passes peer-review approval should be accepted by a 501st GML. WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO SUBMIT: You will need to post up various high quality photos of your armor/accessories on the list below, as well as the basic information listed next to it. We realize that this is more information than normally required for basic approval, but we want you to look your best! Also, please include the name(s) of any approved Trooper(s) who have significantly helped you with your build. Yes, we are asking for more photos and information than are normally needed for basic approval. The reason being is that we feel it gives us a better overall view, and we can catch things that may be missed should the recruit want to move to level 2. PHOTOS: INFORMATION: 1. Front view (arms down) 1. First/last name 2. Back view (arms down) 2. Future Garrison/Squad/Outpost or local area 3. Left side (arms raised) 3. Armor maker 4. Right side (arms raised) 4. Helmet maker 5. Ab plate close-up 5. Cloth belt maker 6. Helmet close-up (front, left and right sides) 6. Neck seal maker 7. Detail photos of any parts you have questions on 7. Boot maker 8. Interior strapping (optional) 9. Blaster maker (if applicable 10. Gasket maker (if applicable) 11. Height (optional) 12. weight (optional) 13. TK type (ANH Stunt/Hero. ESB, ROTJ. TFA etc.) 14. Name(s) of any Trooper(s) who significantly helped with your build. INSTRUCTIONS FOR POSTING YOUR REVIEW REQUEST: 1. Go to the Request Pre Approval thread: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/193-request-tk-pre-approval/ 2. Click on Start New Topic. This is located on the left of the blue "Reply to this Topic" option near the top of the page. 3. In the Title area, post the following information: (Fisd screen name) Requesting Pre Approval Review, followed by the armorer who made your kit in parentheses. Example: MegaTrooper123 Requesting Pre Approval Review (Anovos) 4. Post all required photos/information (as listed above). HELPFUL LINKS: 1. Where can I get in touch with my GML/Garrison? http://www.501st.com/members/displayUnits.php 2. Where can I choose my official TK number? http://www.501st.com/members/search_avail_ids.php 3. How do I join the 501st Legion? http://www.501st.com/members/join_form.php 4. What do I do once I am approved? https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/16-501st-trooper-status-requests-include-link-to-your-501st-profile-in-your-request/ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ WHY WE ARE DOING THIS: Not every garrison has responsive GMLs, and even those that do are not always experts in the stormtrooper costumes. Costume peer review provides members with a supplemental feedback on items that need to be fixed prior to approval, as well as other feedback that will help the overall fit and finish. Catching errors earlier will result in increased confidence a build will pass GML review and thus save GMLs time. It will also provide GMLs insight in to a sounding board beyond the GML peer review area on the 501st boards. Additionally it provides non-GML forum members the opportunity to learn about and gain experience in the costume judging process. This is valuable because it can provide people considering being a GML real-world experience before accepting the role, and provides GCOs a potential pool of people experienced in costume judging who may not have yet served as a GML. ADDITIONAL INFO: 1. Any feedback that is negative, derogatory, inflammatory, or otherwise offensive should be reported immediately, will be deleted, and the poster may be subject to account suspension for repeated offenses. 2. Feedback should follow the same format that Deployment Officers use, e.g. for each item to fix they will be marked as “must fix”, “should fix”, “could fix”. 3. “Approval” only covers base 501st acceptance (aka L1). Expert Infantryman (L2) and Centurion (L3) standards can be cited only for “could fix” items and are never “must fix”. 4. For GMLs, this is intended to catch errors early to make your lives easier. This is not a replacement for what you do. Additionally, since detachments can't approve costumes, there is no concern that a Detachment will override a GML decision. 5. For GCOs, an advantage is that a 501st member in their garrison can gain experience in the costume review part of being a GML before they take on the role officially, and this may also for their Garrison provide an outlet for people considering being a GML, and a pool of experienced members should they need to fill that role. 6. For FB users, other TK Facebook pages can offer advice on their site that may or may not be correct. FISD is the official Detachment run by experienced 501st costume approvers the world over, and this is a service we can provide prospective and current 501st members that a FB group cannot.

I use the underarmor 2 piece. It gets cold up here so I have cold gear set too. As mentioned the 2 piece can be flexible. I wear it under ski gear - it's awesome.

Wow - this looks great! Best of luck to you. Great to see such a good looking ROTJ.

Alas, I got mine from a friend of a friend as they were pretty private at the time. Easiest thing is to simply post on the TFA area and let a France garrison member reply.

There is a person in France that makes them as well, or used to. Then you wouldn't have to pay as much shipping/VAT.

Awesome! Glad it arrived and thanks for sharing the news.

This is awesome - thanks so much! Pinned as I'm sure others will find this very useful.

Just remember - replacement parts are cheap.

Whiskey = military/aviation phenomic for the letter W Whiskey = W is for "WA State" (where we are located) Whiskey = something we like to drink (Single Malt!) Fire Team Whiskey is meant to be the door crashers, veterans, old guard. Think Tantive IV raid. Old folk drink Whiskey too. You can go aggressive, or else go the entire opposite. I have this poster on my wall next to me. Honestly, I think something along this line would go better.

Way to go!

OK, so it's been ages since I created Fire Team Whiskey and we never really did get around to creating a logo. Anyone interested in helping?

OK, we'll discuss in staff area before rolling out.

Should be no issue - work with Eric & make it so

Mathias & Eric should be chatting a lot on this. I'm sure they will have a proposal soon on how best to address this.

If this is a hard to get item, we should move it to L3 then. EI should be something you can do easily in an afternoon with < $100 of $$. Anything harder should go to Centurion.

100% for sure go Centurion out of the box, it's far, far easier to do the first time and doesn't take much extra effort on the build.

what a gorgeous suit of armor. I wonder with regards to the cod if there's a tutorial noted to reshape it? it would be great if there is or some other type of guidance. Thoughts?

Two more items from Jonah for discussion: The two things I'm not sure about at this point are: • The blaster rifle (itself optional, per Legion weapon policy), whether it should have standard white trim, or red to match his armor. I'm waiting to hear back from Del on this matter. If he has a red one that Hux the Elder presented to him along with the armor and sidearm, he doesn't keep it in his quarters or carry it for his normal shipboard duties, per the text. And even if it is red, my instinct is the power pack should still be trimmed in white, as they're standardized equipment, and there's unlikely to be a cache of red-trimmed ones reserved for his use alone. • Z6 riot baton. I want to include this, without the shield, as a melee-weapon option, due to his wielding one against Phasma in their climactic duel in the novel. It'd be the standard white model, as he was just practicing with one he'd taken off the wall when she came in to confront him.

Nice! You look great in this armor

Anything I can do to help you keep it on the forums? Else once someone deletes it, we'd lose all the tracking.

Hey Brien - FWIW they are working on a garrison order so they'd be shipped to Seattle. Unless, you are asking what the group discount is?

Unlocked!
