Welcome to the FISD. All the story's above are absolutely true, research, patience, never , ever built armor before, and that OMG moment when the big brown box arrives and you spread all the bits out on the floor for the first time. One thing I learnt. "Never underestimate your ability", you will surprise yourself I am sure of it. And besides, it is awesome fun building the kit yourself. We are here to help, so when ever in doubt, please ask questions. Good luck on your journey. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

RT-Mod is great armour, but he may have quite a long waiting list. AM has undergone improvements which has made it easier to achieve the higher levels of approval, but is absolutely fine for basic, as long as you assemble it to fit you (that goes for any armor). AP is great armor, so you shouldn't have any trouble on selling it, certainly try doing that on here first or in your local Garrison before you go to eBay . Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi Michael As Khazid has mentioned in the above post, deffinitly get in touch with your local Garrison/squad. Research is the key to this hobby, and yes this website can be overwhelming with details, but never fear we are here and most happy to help. Looks like you have started off in the right direction, and from all reports AM armor has improved from the older kit. I have personally helped assemble the previous version for a large trooper, both in height and width. (Security dude, 6'4" and broad) Secondly I would like to say, never underestimate your ability. We all started out like you, who honestly has armor building skills from the outset. It is not as hard as you may think, you just need a few key tools and learn as you go. The first cut is always the hardest, but the learning curve is good with a very basic rule to apply. "Measure twice, cut once", this will make seance soon enough. Nothing can replace the pride you will have when somebody out on a troop, or at a Con asks, "where did you buy your armor"? and you respond, I assembled it myself. Very satisfying experience i must say. Good luck on your journey, ask lots of questions and get along to a local armor party. Cheers

Congratulations Danny.

Now that was an EPIC news letter, thanks to all that put these together. Always a great read.

Congratulations and welcome to the ranks. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi Manuel Here is the Zip file for the Code I am having trouble with. Basicaly Weapon 4 TIE blaster sound, will not work and the green LED will not activate. Perhaps i have the sound files in the wrong order on the SD card, but everything else is working. e11_v06_en.zip

Yep Tim nailed it. As the Australian dollar plummets, the cost of anything from the U.S. And even worse, UK goes through the roof. Currently US for my dollar I get 70c. For the English pound, I get 46c add PayPal crap exchange rate and we lose approximately another 3c . Buy your Doopys kit with confidence, that it will arrive safely, and you are still paying considerably less than me for it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

On the ball as always I see Glenn. Great work mate. You can always 3D print parts for this as well , when you run out of old funnel ends Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Another simply amazing piece of work from a talented member of FISD. Love it.

Congratulations Chris, welcome to the ranks. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

You can do a Doopys pipe build, that will give you room enough for electronics. So you get all the bits minus the barrel , which you purchase a length of PVC pipe from your local hard ware store. There is a template in the E11 section, that you print out and wrap around the pipe the drill all the holes on the correct positions. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I am stuck.......the code section I have added as Tie fighter blaster is not working.. Basically I and running with 4 weapons modes. Ell blaster, rapid fire, stun and the Tie, but for some reason the first 3 activate and the green led and sound for tie do not. The code looks good but I must have missed something. Poodoo!

Thank you, that's a great help Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thank you for you help.

Tapatalk is back up and running. I took Tolo's advice, and bingo I'm back. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks Eric, will give it a go.

Hi Manual, I have a question is it the same din pin on each of the drivers, or is it a different pin for each colour? I am doing one of these builds and just need to make sure. If they are all the end connector, that is easy,

So Mathias, where to from here ? Dark Father and I are both with iinet in Australia, we have both checked with our ISP and they are telling us, there is nothing wrong at their end. We both think they are just passing the buck off and saying it is a website server issue. I must say I am lucky enough to still access from desk top for the time being, but tapatalk refuses to do anything when I try to log in. Appreciate the work you guys are doing in the background, fingers crossed for a resolution in the near future.

Hey Stu, I have a set of decals you can use for basic approval, then if you need to put the others back on for higher approval you can do that. I will also show you a way to easily put the decals on so you don't get bubbles. We can save your current decals also for reuse.

Hi Brandon, I have a few more questions. 1. On the LED drivers, was Dim pin the same leg for each driver, and looking at your image is that the center of the three tiny legs on that very small component. 2. what technique did you use to get them down, as I struggled with the + and -, as they were small enough. Thank you

This is bizarre. Sometimes I can get in through Tapatalk (not today) and generally cant get on FISD on the desk top. I am using Hola at the moment and stating that I am viewing this page from the US, hence I am posting this from the desktop. I am in Australia. It is working for now, but later today it probably wont. Still very hit and miss across all my devices.

Novus indeed. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I agree with Mutter, ABS turns from a shape to a floppy flat mess in the blink of an eye. Hot water is a safer bet. If you have spare ABS piece, have a play around with a heat gun and see how 1 second too much, can make a difference. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
