Armpit area is looking much better, not a butt plate expert on these but it also looks more to the shape of the screen used part now.

Welcome to FISD Alex! Looks like you made a great purchase, RS is very nice armour indeed and i am sure you will not be disappointed. When your BBB ( Big brown box) arrives, pleas don't forget to make a build thread, ask plenty of questions and of course we love photos. Looking forward to your build

Thanks Justin, I'll take a look.

Congratulations Coach!

That's outstanding!, and he chose Mr No stripes too, how sweet lol.

Back to you Jarred and apologies for the minor derail of your thread. Great work on the blaster, always a bit of clean up but I'm sure you will erase the print lines and have a cracking finished product.

Interesting you say that about the snout, I agree and may have said those very words a few times. Tread Speeder Driver/trooper rode something even if it was 50+% FOTK

This is correct, detachments all look at new costumes for viability, an LMO asked if we were putting a case forward so clearly the LMO team are/were discussing new costumes. Alos correct on the appeal to take a costume onboard that resides in another detachment. It takes both DL's to agree along with the members who own the costume to enact a change of detachment,I wont say it doesn't happen because it has in the past. Pre my time as DL the detachment agreed to pass the Sky Trooper over to another detachment. I spoke with staff by starting a thread as I wasn't sure they were for us but did see some similarities in their action. As staff started to put hings together the story looked more reasonable so I submitted, and to be perfectly honest, didn't think we would get the votes. The LMO team vote on all things to do with costumes with majority directing their decision, not me, not other detachments, not a sole individual. One could only assume other detachments also put a proposal together, I totally assumed there would be at least a couple that would fight it out, not us in the race necessarily. For transparency, I will share what the staff put together, the images they gathered, and the written information they provided. These are screen capped so they are not edited. Aside form the standard gathering of various screen shots (these are now in our gallery so you can check them out at leisure, I added a section of the script which shows how the Mandalorians referred to those troopers I am the conduit to the LMO office so felt their work should be submitted, rather than dismissing it. Again we still believed it would go elsewhere. Below is the imagery and verbiage from the proposal put together in staff area. This is what went through on the proposal, there are a few pages of the discussions but this being the info used is the most important My closing taken from the email sent to the LMO team These troops have acted in the exact same fashion as the First order troops have in the sequel trilogies. Capturing the enemy with improved accuracy of shot like they did for Phasma. You will also notice almost the same shins as the first order TK and the identical boots. Armour covers most of their bodies, what, no butt plate LOL. We see no special operation other than to defend their leader, standard TK behavior and on mass, standard TK protocol, with accessories, again standard for various TK’s I can continue to gather more details as we have numerous staff working on the information capture but I think what we have presented here already shows well the direction we are heading. This is a Stormtrooper at heart and action. As always thanks for your time and consideration Kind regards Andrew Franke TK11469 (Sly11) FISD Detachment Leader Email response from one of the LMO team. Remember, this was not one LMO's decision, this was a vote by all LMO's, Michael was the one to deliver the news of the results of the Poll they ran and majority ruled.

Great work on this build Bob, finish line wont be to far away

Hi Ethan AP is cast from a modified RoTJ set of armour and cleaned up to remove a lot of lumps and bumps. Some parts are duplicates as the suit was not complete that it was cast from, Biceps identical left and right as are the fore arms and shoulder bells too if i remember correctly. AP is durable, I have had mine for over 8 years and still troop in it so no issues there, and you can build it to centurion level. RS is indeed cast of an ANH suit which they own. It is a warts and all version as the Stunt buckets were painted white, so the pulls certainly reflect paint runs etc. It;s still the closest you can get in reproduction. it also was not a complete kit so they have sculpted parts to replace those that were missing. Go check out the build threads and look for RS or AP in the titles, that will show you the differences as we have loads and loads of images on the forums of both kits. To be honest, both are great kits, so you cant go wrong sticking with either. https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/80-anh-build-threads/

Added to first post Glen, thank you for the additional info

UPDATE We have now officially opened the newest section of our forums to house the Imperial Armored Commando. Referred to as "Gideon's' Stormtroopers" by the makers of the costume, IronHead Studios, they are seen on mass in episode 23 and 24 of The Mandalorian

We see the imperial Commandos using few different blasters in episode 23 and 24, we currently don't have a stack of clear references but there are a few out there Please share what you find here. I'll start with what looks to be their standard side arm, a hybrid of the old SE-14 as seen in this screen cap.

As we build our support for the Imperial Commando we've comprised a list of all the Hard & Soft goods vendors to help you with your build. As this is a new costume, we will continue to monitor and update the list as more products become available. Just a reminder the FISD does not endorse any particular vendor, nor is responsible for any transaction between you and the vendor.
