You have to be a 501st member, post your TK-ID and link to your 501st profile in this thread and you will get a permission update: But be aware that this can take a couple of hours.

let's hope you stay GML for a while We got garrison license plate frames: (I got a different number, referring to when I bought my car.)

will do, won't take long

@Daetrin is this being solved by the legion webteam within the next 13 hours?

moved this topic to the right section indeed doopydoo's is a very good supplier for blaster parts. Where did you get your blaster from? There are some greeblies you'll have to remove from your ESB blaster and some things to add (like hengstler counter and power cylinders). those parts might even be for sale in our ongoing sales section. https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/16-ongoing-sales-project-orders/

I'm in that facebook group too, but there's not much going on... best source for HWTs is still the FISD

The Expert Infantry section is not locked down during the election time, but you must be 501st Stormtrooper[TK] or part of the extended staff to post a new topic in there.

yep, this armor is definitely not white

different seams and different shapes on the legs are nothing unusual, no worries. Yes you want one or two fingers space between your leg and the outside of your thigh. You also need that space to slide it over your knee. dropbox trimming line looks perfect

I wear thin cotton gloves underneath my rubber gloves. Less sweat and more comfort

I used to troop in a FX armor for the last 3 years. It's still approvable if you change that helmet. I recommend you to get a helmet from one of the vetted makers. TM, TS, WTF, RWA or whereever. I can show you why the FX helmet isn't accepted anymore. Here is a comparison shot of the FX helmet (on the left) and a regular helmet... as you can see, the FX helmet differs a lot from the regular helmet shape. I hope you understand why the 501st wants FX armor wearers to get a different helment. I went with a CAP-W some years ago and changed to Anovos later. But I'd recommend you to look out for smaller armor makers in your local region if possible.

Only thing I can see: those boots look really short. Do you have something like a stirrup inside your shins? might help to draw them downwards. Other than that: great work on your armor!

yes, the metric system is overall more accurate. They want your exact measurements, because the usually add some space on their own. if you already added space, then the armor will be too wide

looking forward to see more

if it's a paint job, it could even go to spec ops, right? like the TX Swamp Trooper?

looks more like something for the spec ops detachment to me

I'd love to see pictures of that. It's a piece of TK armor history

at least it's not the original FX bucket So I think if you correct some details it might even be approvable... Here is a comparison shot of the old FX helmet to a helmet with regular shape: The armor itself is definitely a FX recast and looks exactly like the one I've been wearing for the last few years. It has no return edge, wrong detailed thermaldetonator and abdomenplate, a very long chestplate and very wide shoulder bells. But all this is usual for FX armors. The problem with specificly this armor on your pictures is the knee ammo belt and the belt section, both are trimmed too much on the sides. The rest of the armor doesn't look like it has been trimmed too much. This is how FX armor looks like. To get this back in mind: FX armor was once the backbone of the legion. It is still approvable. It might be some more work than usual, but it's far from impossible. Sure, armor kits from other (vetted) makers look much better and are more accurate, but since he already bought that kit, you will have to live with it, right? Try to make the best out of it. And try to be constructive, not repellent.
