Rogue One CRL UPDATE: I will post this in announcement area once finalised but the CRL will look like this. This is the change made to the Artillery trooper. ANH Rubber gloves no longer accepted at basic, only Nomex and leather type, all other higher level requirments taken from Lvl 3 and moved to lvl 2 Expert Infantry.

Unarchived for you Jack

Welcome back to FISD Alex!!

I also agree, the embroidered version doesn't seem quite right and should be vinyl. So we need to make sure the image is Non Puffy style ( great technical term) lol Need to include Red and Gray, colours. If puffy is incorrect perhaps exclude it entirely so it must be the flat Rebels style from basic lvl. Can have Chimera logo on, then for higher level, must be vinyl layered maybe, not sticker. Not to forget, this is an accessory so it is optional.

Sweet, this will be a cool build.

Looks pretty straight forward and would be added as an accessory to the current Rebels TK CRL. If they carry a different weapon to standard Rebels TK's then that would form part of wearing the pauldron. If someone has made one of these then we will need a photo to be used in the CRL. Just look at the pauldron images in other CRL's and that's the type of photo we will require.

Outstanding results Cam, congratulations on your new bod.

Glad to read of your experience and the tremendous outcome. You are in good hands here, and we operate with our members best interests at heart all the time. glad you found us and are now on the right path to becoming a Stormtrooper. Welcome to FISD!!

I think its well overdue that we update the image for the gloves on this CRL. Currently it shows ANH style rubber gloves where we know they wore TFA style gloves albeit all black with black stitching. Options for language update. If updating the image, I also believe we should eliminate the rubber gloves language from basic, and just leave Nomex style. (they are closer to the correct style than rubber. If this change is made we bring the correct style glove into EI and remove level 3, or we simply don't have a lvl 2 and leave correct gloves at lvl 3 The other option is to only have the correct gloves at basic removing lvl 2 and 3 from this section, as we do in other CRL's like the TFA, TLJ These gloves are readily available and on our Vendors list. Current CRL Black in color, made of either rubber, Nomex, leather, or leather-like material, with no visible straps or logos/designs. The fingers are enclosed, non-textured. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Gloves shall not be made of rubber. OPTIONAL Level three certification (if applicable): The base material of the gloves will be a black synthetic material similar to Lycra, Spandex, Elastane, or Nylon. Palms of gloves shall be shiny black fabric or leather or leather-like material. On the index finger shall be a stitched piece of fabric made from the same material as the hand's underside that while stitched to the finger has one cutout towards the end of the finger that reveals the netted material underneath. Gloves shall have the correct leather pattern along the fingers/palm. Current Image New Image to be added

The Denou Novo FOTK kits look good. There are a few things however that my guess is wont be assembled from them in a state to meet Legion basic level. If you are not joining Legion with it then pay that no attention, but if you are, it will require having the side joins properly fused together of the abdomen section, and also the chest and back plate will also require the same treatment. 2 ways to do that. 1. make ABS paste to fill those seams or joins, sand then smooth them polish. 2. Use Bondo or other type of fillers sand and then repaint the armour. All armour requires an amount of work to get it up to spec to reach Legion standards, DN are a costume company, they will assemble it the quickest way possible and charge a pretty penny for it too. My suggestion is get in contact with your local garrison. See if there is any armour parties coming up where you can get first hand help, meet some members and learn plenty from the experience. To answer your other question, YES there certainly is a market for barley started armour. again contacting your local garrison may yield an excellent response from someone close buy who is looking for a kit.

Congratulations Alex, welcome to Centurion sir!

Good move to deeply consider everything before making any adjustments Chris. Mine are merely suggestions for the symmetry of the costume, looks like the CRL model had similar issues and indeed could be they way the armour was formed, a little oversized in some areas.

Greetings all, It gives me great pleasure to announce the newest CRL for FISD and the Legion! The Artillery Stormtrooper as seen in the series The Mandalorian today has the green light form the LMO office and is live and ready to use. I would like to thank Honeymustard TK-22540 (Logan Hole) of the Wisconsin Garrison for his epic work and research and assistance is helping us bring this CRL to fruition. A new to Legion and legion first. Congratulations Logan, your hard work has paid off. Costuming:ArtilleryTrooper - Databank (501st.com)

The thighs do look like they have some girth at the top you could trim down to fit which also would help them sit in from the but plate. If we also look at the original sketches and the action figure we can see the taper at the bottom of the thighs and at the top of the shins is very close to the same width. You could also trim your shins to more closely resemble this look where currently the top of the shins are wider than the bottom of the thighs.

Greetings Sean and welcome to FISD! Always exciting when you start a new journey and this one is no exception. Ask plenty of questions, we are here to make this as easy as possible for you, but I will say research is the key to this hobby. This is a massive resource so sing out if you need to know something and our staff and members will point you in the right direction.

Welcome aboard Erik. AP kits a great, you will be pleased with your purchase. My AP kit is 9 years old and still going strong, although it has started to turn yellow after many solid years of trooping outdoors Aussie sun and UV will do that to any kit. Looking forward to your build thread, or your suit up post if you went with a commission build.

Congratulations!!

Congratulations Alex!

Or Disney actually make him a live action character and then we go with what is seen on screen. We are still not 100% on what the boots look like, whether they have plates like Pharma's, or are just red FOTK boots.

Updated list to reflect Gio for boots. They look great.

Welcome to FISD Paolo, you are in for some great adventures joining both the Detachment and the 501st. You are certainly in the right place to learn about Stormtroopers and we are all here to support you on this new journey.

Hi Bex, please share some photos, always interested to see peoples projects. Glad you have had a wonderful experience here so far, we appreciate your feedback and the fact you have learnt stuff here too.

Update: We are waiting on some feedback from the LMO team who are currently inundated with new CRL requests, so we are in the cue.

Hi Gavin, We are purely the Stormtrooper detachment, however there is indeed a Scout trooper detachment called Pathfinders. here is the link https://www.501stpathfinders.com/ These guys specialize in the Scout Troopers so will be far more helpful for you and your new journey. Best of luck.

Congratulations Christian and welcome to FISD!
