All done for you Andrew, Congrats on your first 10 troops

Hi Kenneth and welcome to FISD. Hopefully you have also had a look at the CRL's (Costume Reference Library), these list in both words and images, the requirements of each costume to meet 501st approval. You will see there are 3 levels, Basic which is what will get you to approval in the Legion, plus two higher levels which are not required but up to the individual if they seek slightly higher accuracy of their costume. Here's the link to our CRL's Don't forget if you are ever confused or have any questions, we have plenty of very experienced Troopers here who are eager and read to assist. https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:FISD_CRL

Hey Andrew, I see you have cracked the 10 troops marker, congratulations. Don't forget to post your request for your achievement badge in the Field Exercise awards thread. https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/47870-field-exercise-awards-post-your-milestones-here/

This is looking really nice. Rather than a link, have you thought about housing the images here in your thread using IMGUR? that way its easy for everyone to scroll through and enjoy your progress. Its an easy share service to use which allows you to copy and paste a link which once your post is saved actually shows the image. Keep up the great progress.

That's great news Arthur, keep up the outstanding work.

Congratulations and welcome to the rank. Those photos are beautiful Philip, you look amazing.

You certainly came to the right place Leonardo, this is very exciting to hear you want to go to the next level with your armour. TKC's are very cool, so as mentioned by Arthur, please take a look at the CRL and if you have any doubts or questions please ask. We are all here to help make your dream a reality sir.

This is so impressive Jorge, cant wait to see the finished product.

Looking good so far James, looking forward to seeing it completed.

Hey JR, welcome aboard. I'll echo what other members have been saying, AM armour is a good size, great details and quite a heavy duty kit so will hold up well to modification and the rigors of trooping. We have a couple of TK's in our garrison that are over 6 foot tall and very solid and AM works well for them. Generally AM leaves extra material so you can size it up or down.

Hi Thomas If you want good quality snaps that wont fail easily, you can get them from most leather supply stores. Not sure if you have Mac-lace in Vic but you could try Leffler leather in Melbourne. Generally they are of a better quality and a little more heavy duty so wont fail easily. The snaps from Spotlight and general haberdashery stores are not always the best. https://www.leffler.com.au/

Hi Jonas, I think the overall fit is coming along very well. Perhaps you could shorten the elastic on the outer most straps from kidney to but plate just to keep them in check a touch more. This may change once you are also wearing the belt, so it would be great to see you with that on as well to get a complete idea of how everything will align. Great clean build so far, keep up the good work.

I love the detail, patience and time you put into these builds and subsequent videos and build threads. You are an asset to our Detachment Dan.

Eagerly awaiting the next progress report

Welcome to FISD Paige, lots to learn here so ask plenty of questions and the advice will flow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great kit and I love your Squad logo, that is awesome.

Welcome aboard Andre. We specialise in stormtroopers from all the the Star Wars movies, the original guys, right through to the First Order. Each costume set has its own specific Detachment so as an example, Darth Vader and Kylo Ren belong to the Sith Lord Detachment and they look after those specific costumes. As suggested head on over to the getting started section as there is loads of info there, also have a look at the FISD CRL’s (Costume reference library) they are the sets of requirements you need to meet to become approved as a 501st member. Simply got to the “Pages” tab along the top of the forum and it will show a drop down menu, then click on FISD CRL’s and you can see all the costumes we cover and the requirements for each. Once again, welcome aboard. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Making some good progress, keep it up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Robert, welcome to our forums. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My garrison is looking at marking social events in neutral locations like BBQ in a park to simply get people talking face to face again. We also welcome all new comers and rookies/cadets so they can’t talk to other members about costumes etc etc. we are planning for 4 a year in reasonable central locations. If we put flags and banners up we can also use them for recruiting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome aboard Thomas, see, nothing to worry about, you even got a history lesson from some very trusted armour makers and members. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Perfect, well done Nada. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Still interesting to see they were up to something. We could be very lucky it never got off the ground back then but it is still Star Wars. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Love the sharp detail, good job. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
