Hello Georgia! RS Props is a great choice and it's good to hear, you've done months of research upfront. If you want to know some more about how life is in this great world of starwars fandom as a legion member, I'd suggest you check out the field training exercises section. https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/13-field-training-exercises/ this is where our finest troopers report from duty and show their latest event attendances! I'd also recommend you to sign up on your local garrison forums on https://501st.nz/forum/ Whenever you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Another great edition at the end of the year! Congratulations to the two of you @justjoseph63 & @gmrhodes13 for achieving your milestones!!

Dan, you are a legend! :) Thanks for the 3k+ helpful posts you've done!

There's no specific criteria we follow. But this thread here is definitely worth pinning! Thanks a lot for the hard work!

In some of the scenes 501st members with their own armor were present on set. They were mostly used in the background. For the close-up and stunt shots it looks like Rogue One armor to me. btw this subforum is ment to be for technical support, I will move the thread to the correct place. ;)

weird. It works fine for me :/ I can send it to you via mail, if you wish.

might work on the pc instead of a mobile device with tapatalk.

"501st Legion" also vanishes if you reduce the screen even more. If it's too small, the toolbar switches to mobile version. Only way I see is to move it over to the left, maybe between "New Posts" and "Pages" (?)

you can sew a patch on there to cover the wrong prefix.

Hi Jimmy! I'm still a student, too. No worries about being too young, there are younger members within our ranks! I also started with a stormtrooper and I would never regret it. Especially if you're a little technically gifted it should be no problem to build your stormtrooper. If not, you can still buy an assembled set of armor from one of the armor makers, but this might cost you a lot more money. As stated before research is most important, check out the getting started section and consider which armor maker suits you most.

Welcome to the FISD! Feel encouraged to give it another try.

Hi there! It's finally time for me to build my a femtrooper armor. I'm doing this for my beautiful girlfriend, @Vicky_Velocipanda. She recieved the BBB yesterday (nov. 16th) and we started right off with trimming and assembling the helmet. Here's the progress so far. Unpacking the BBB... trimming the ears... trimming the rest of the helmet... and assembling it: We will trim the eyes and teeth later today and document it. Afterwards I started trimming the backplate and then... well just went on. So this is what we've roughly trimmed now: Vicky will modify these boots to fit the CRL. The next step is trimming the legs and arms. Is my assumption correct, that we're supposed to use the butt joint method here with an inverted coverstripe? (on the inside instead of outside) Or shall we use the overlap method? p.s.: this thread will be pic heavy.

the helmet looks like it is done by a member of skull garrison. you might have more luck over there: https://www.skullgarrison.com/

sorry for drifting away from the topic. I've hidden the discussion and will talk to phil via PM new wires for the speaker should be easy to get at low or no cost.

mine is already done. I'm trooping with it since a couple of years

Here's another one TK-39701 Pascal Gutfleisch @GIZA87 Spent hours together with @GIZA87 side by side. Helping each other to build the helmet. And let's not forget that last-minute trimming on the forearms, haha

I can remember Paul (Troopermaster) said that this shape is actually the more accurate one: But unfortunately I don't know anything about the size. I can measure the size on my Anovos and on my CAP-W for comparison if you'd like.

I will take care of that and move the thread into the right subforum Great choice on the RS kit! it's probably the most accurate option on the market. Looking forward to see more. I also recommend to have look on the build threads Matthew provided!

they work perfectly fine and I'm happy to have tony's speakers in my helmet aswell. But for crowded events where I need a loud voice, I still use the good old Aker MR1505

looking forward to more of that! I got the very same blaster and very same conversion kit Using the blaster especially for events with kids. You can give it away for a photo and don't have to care too much if they drop it. Great to see these conversions are still happening!

This is a picture from a screen used belt. You can see how the elastic strap was cut and glued to the belt for perfect alignment

You can iron the chest plate to get a new return edge after cutting it. Not sure how this type of iron is called, but in germany it's used for plastic foil. ---------- I know several members who did that quite successful

Hallo und Herzlich Willkommen! Du hast den kleinen deutschsprachigen Teil hier im Forum gefunden. Wie Joseph schon empfohlen hat, solltest du deinen Status updaten lassen. Danach hast du Zugang zu "internen" Forenbereichen, in denen es z.B. auch Merchandise gibt. Falls du irgendwelche Fragen hast, schieß einfach los! Hier findet man Antworten auf fast alles. Liebe Grüße aus Nürnberg, Danny

I once tried to make a mold for vacuum pulling a helmet myself. Together with a friend I worked weeks on that mold and it would never be perfect. It will be the same with your helmet. You need to find the level on which you're satisfied. It's impossible to get it perfectly done like an original one. So make it as good as it pleases you, nothing more. Hope that helps

Well... there is an original one for sale right now ----------- 600$
