    The base software has undergone numerous updates so some functions were made redundant, but different or new options came on line.

    The sheer growth over the years also increases the difficulty to find things. We archived a heap of stuff too which isn't fully viewable, but lacked too much of its original content to keep it viewable.

    We don't actually delete anything, we only hide it or archive it, so the full history is still there in the background.

    As Glen mentioned, 2 years was a huge undertaking to revive and recover as much as we could, but i am unsure about being able to reinstate old serch systems without having to rebuild entire sections or creating a single post and linking everything back to it like Caleb did for his all in one post.

     

    I too use google to search up things on our forums sometimes, because it is easier :)

     

  2. Looking forward to your next batch of photos Alexandre.

    I have only used a leather hole punch for this, and it probably is the best way to get a clean hole through the canvas belt.

    There is another tool called a Brad which is a spike with a handle at one end that could work. In that case perhaps a skewer might allow you to make a sufficient small hole to get rivets or Chicago screws through.

    Oh dang... and I was so proud of this pieces:-D

     

    Well. I think I will do the armor first and will get another helmet and leave it unpainted.

    The counter could be a bigger issue. Because I jb welded on :-D 

     

    Thanks for pointing that issues out brother !

    Don't stress Tristan, basic approval does not require a blaster, so you will be able to troop with what you have the way it is. Only higher level EI and Centurion you would need to adjust it.

    Secondly, your local GML will be the one approving your armour at basic level, not the detachment, so check in with who that might be and see if they are happy to approve you with that beautiful helmet. You may find they love it as much as we do when it comes to replica props, so don't worry yourself yet.

     

    looking forward to your build.

  4. Welcome back Joseph, pleased to know you are as mentally strong as ever and excited to continue giving to this community.

    You have always gone over and above to serve the membership and I know they truly appreciate that as much as I and the rest of the staff do.

    You are a credit to FISD and the legion.

  5. Welcome to FISD Eban.

     

    Your best starting place is our First Order battle Group section for al your FO Stormtrooper needs.

     

    In this section we have a vendors list, build threads, and a stack of information to get you on your way.

    Ultimately, research is key, and definitely ask questions for anything you need clarification on.

    thank you. There is a difference of 2 inches. If I buy it, I'm thinking of getting everyone's advice and trimming it to get approval.

    We are here to help in every way possible. Our staff and members will always offer the best advice possible, and our forums are the best  place to share photos of your adjustments so we can further enhance the feedback we give based on what we see, no guess work.

    Getting you approved first time or with the least amount of stress and hassle is our focus.

    Welcome to FISD!

  7. Hi AA-ron, and welcome to FISD

    Please check out our Vendor list including those to avoid

    For the magma trooper you will need to join Spec Ops Detachment  https://specops501st.com/

    You can also check out this resource although you will find there are several differences between the standard Stormtroopers and the Sandies.

     

     

    These are the best resources to start on, as you learn and research for your new exciting projects.

     

    There is every possibility you will need to modify some parts of any armour kit you purchase to get it to fit you just right, but traditionally one of the larger kits is the AM kit from Daves Darkside Depot.

    Check him out on FaceBook as he has a online store.

    There are several makers who also do longer leg pieces but generally most kits suit a trooper from 5'9" to 6'

    We are pretty active here compared to some detachment forums so feel free to ask plenty of questions.

    Welcome once again.
