Congratulations Steven, updated.

Congratulation Kevin!

Congrats on the big 50!

Great discussion topic Guy. We should, if we can find the information, refer to them as LFL does. I vaguely recollect something on Starwars.com, which could be where the Imperial Commando's came from. Once we have clarity, we should go with the LFL canon.

Welcome to FISD Guillermo!

Going great guns on this build so far. How many hours of printing has it been now?

Ok Mirko, I have attempted to manually override, so let's see if your affiliation is fixed.

Welcome to FISD Rob, we have plenty of staff and members here ready to support and assist you on you new journey. Whether you choose to join the 501st ranks or just want a next level cosplay Stormtrooper we are here to make that dream a reality. Ask plenty of questions and the help will flow, take a look around at the build threads and the Galleries and its easy to see we have everything here to get you on the right path. Once again, welcome.

I have added your Legion ID to your profile, I will also go onto legion Members database and see if I can manually get you affiliated.

Maybe you should have become a Sand trooper Blaster looks awesome, so the hard work is paying off Terry.

Nice work Arthur 75 badge added.

Congrats James, 10 badge added.

You got there in the end, congratulations. All updated.

Mirko, you have no legion ID (not your TKID) info added in your Profile, also you have no email listed, this probably means the sync won't work as it matches identicle email addresses with the one you supplied to legion. (that is important, they are the same for the back end system and the leading cause of failures to sync) Please update that first and let's see what happens.

Yes, Legion do an annual update, but considering the volume of members we have, plus the coming and going of members in legion, I have been doing our maintenance quarterly so it didn't go back to the mess it was prior. It is time-consuming, so keeping it up to date has made that far easier to manage. Most of the maintenance has been members retired from the legion, and there has been loads of them, probably due to the Covid years.

There looks to be a few wishing to work on this, which is truly wonderful. Make sure all of you create build threads in the appropriate area, and I'm sure this CRL will be awesome with several working to give input. Considering this is really our first hard and soft costume with an extended line-up of new gadgetry for FISD, I am positive we can learn from other legion CRL's which have similar set-ups like BHG for example. Research for all of us is key, together we can get this done in a shorter time frame with an accurate and detailed CRL.

Currently, you have full 501st Stormtrooper access to our forums. If your Legion profile is stating retired, you will need to take that up with your GML. How does one become retired? generally you don't troop for a year and your GML sets you to reserve. Don't troop for 2 years in a row, you get set to retired due to inactivity. Some Garrisons enforce this more than others. This is garrison and Legion controlled. Only your affiliation to a detachment breaks if you do not log into that detachments' forum for a year. That is an automatic function the legion database picks up when it does its annual sync to all units for census and for Elections. The responsibility to prevent breakage of affiliation rest with the individual, and only requires you to log into a forum. Using an app like Taptalk, unfortunately will not work, and is a known probable that remains unfixable. Only log in from phone using a browser or log in on a PC/laptop. Use your phone browser or a PC and log in. Next, all DL's are supposed to go through the Legion's massive membership database and any member that the legion database state as retired, then requires their detachment access to be reset to basic member. As you are still a full member indicated by the banner under your Avatar, you can tell this was not caused by the detachment Leader, which was myself That's the story of how this all works, unless the sync itself fails to pick up all data accurately, which directs you back to your GML and Legion. Hope this is helpful for yourself and others.

The voting phase of legion Elections starts today in approximately 2 hour 20 minutes from the time of this post As you may be aware, the main Legion forum has been having difficulties sending out email blasts to all the members, due to rate limiting. So they have asked all the various units to step up and make sure important Legion news gets broadcast to all members. Though there are no elections here at FISD, the LCO office as well as other units do have elections that require your vote! Please check your local Garrison, Legion or other Detachment forums forum to check the Q&As and evaluate your candidates so you can make an informed choice. The main Legion election information, including LCO Q&A and opening and closing statements, maybe be found on the main forum. https://www.501st.com/elections/ Remember: this is your Legion! So don't just stand there.... VOTE!

Not vendors as such, but there is a guy who has done some really nice work on his own Kama. I haven't delved deep into his vs accuracy, but he has shown them off in a video that you may find interesting. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1360466424601222

Finally caught up on this thread. Quite the mashup between costume parts and time periods, but an awesome looking character nonetheless. This will be an exciting build, and I am very much looking forward to seeing you progress through it. The game reference shots are outstanding and super detailed, removing some of the guess work, which is very beneficial indeed. As you get into the build and details, I can set up the wiki doc (platform document to create a CRL) so it is ready to go for fleshing out the details, and eventually your photos of all the components. Great research so far, keep it up.

Please everyone join me in congratulating Joseph as the incoming DL of our fine Detachment. Congratulations, Joseph, I look forward to seeing what the next chapter for FISD will be under your direction. The membership is in good hands, and I am here to support you with what ever you need, as I am positive any of the staff existing and new into the future will. Once again, congratulations

Your Attaché award banners have been added, congratulations once again.

Beautiful sentiment Arthur, I am positive your videos will make a huger difference for those who speak Cantonese, and continuing to keep the language alive is also truly wonderful. Congratulations once again.

Thank you for the memes guys, Love them.

This is cool. https://ew.com/ahsoka-captain-enoch-wes-chatham-goes-behind-the-mask-8548945
