Welcome back to FISD Damien!

Hi Paul Unfortunately not much armour is made in Australia at present. The AAA (Australian Armour Alliance) will eventually have a OT TK kit available, but that is still a way off. At this stage Canada, USA and the UK are your best bet for TK armour, so check out our list of vetted makers. Also use this as a quick go to resource if you are looking to build an Original trilogy Stormtrooper.

Very nice indeed.

It has been a preference thing for a long time. Mine are cut vertically as per the reference images I used at the time. We use multiple frown paint references as an example, with the only stipulation being keep the paint off the gums, I see the brow trim as no different with so many references showing a few variations. As long as you don't cut it too short in length and it doesn't look good/right, then everything should be fine. Also note that the last image shared above is cut vertical and not angled and states perfect, so angle or straight you are good to go.

Welcome to FISD Sean, looking forward to seeing some photos of you kitted up when your RS arrives.

The main reason why the bridges tend to do this is because of the curve. They will always move to the location where that curve lies. Only way to change it is to either heat bend the bridge so it naturally falls to the position you want. I had/have the same issue, so I actually added some industrial Velcro to mine. It is low profile enough to allow the bridge to sit almost flush on the back plate and stopped it from sliding out to the side following the set curve of the plastic.

Several years ago we had a member who would custom format your numbers and send you the file to print. Go to the last page of my Blaster build to see how I did my numbers and plastic cover.

Very nice work on this build Ben, just those couple of things and you will look perfect.

Ahh yes of course, Kevin Weir. His kits are also very nice.

Hi Tom WTF Walts Trooper Factory and KB Props are both currently available. We are waiting on a couple of members to complete their builds and some more feedback before we add WTF to the vetted list, but he makes plenty of other armour kits and is reputable.

Hey Mike, How's it going?

Good luck with your rebuild of this great version of a TK.

Welcome to FISD Roux, looking forward to seeing a build thread on your new project.

Good to see you are under way Justin. Hope the LMO's could shed some more light on what they are happy with.

Hi Arthur, if you would like to translate it into Chinese please do so but we need it checked by another source and then supply a copy to the Legion PR team. Basically you will need to mock it up then supply it to myself. We will then build the appropriate version and get it approved as all PR material needs to be vetted and sent through for records. The Spanish version will undergo this same treatment. Yes indeed the Sky Trooper was handed over in 2019.

Greetings all Today we launch our newly revised Detachment Tri Fold brochure. It's been quite a long time since we actually had these available. Since then many things have changed leading us to updating some of the text to include new costumes, and have more relevant information. Originally these were done in a limited run by the member who created them, but nowadays we have moved this to a "print your own" service making them accessible to all countries around the globe. Files are available to all full 501st members on request, and are completed in a very high resolution to ensure quality in a finished product. The thread can be found below for more information and how to access the files.

Basically the only thing I can see stopping this CRL creation is the members build. Books can't be used alone and neither can action figures, but combined we have a story. Lack of references is the number one thing that stops a CRL dead in it's tracks, number 2 is not having a completed costume and all the images required to build a complete CRL. The descriptions for Cardinal are are easy enough as I have mentioned previously, so anyone who wants to be the CRL model and work with us on creating the CRL should be on the train. LMO's are well aware of this character and the available resources, but nothing happens until we have a costume complete.

Due to the time of year this has happened, I think the family need some space to grieve first. Because Terrell was a retired member I am not sure if his home garrison has looked into anything as yet. What I can tell you is I already have the support of other Detachments if we move forward to make something happen to help the family. I know there are a a lot of troopers out their that would love to give back for the horrific situation, so I will keep everyone informed

I haven't heard anything from the LMO's For some reason I thought the hold up was the boots or lack of references for how they looked, but I also thought that info was communicated between the LMO's and the member building the costume. As it stands, without the full set of images of a finished costume from the builder, we can't flesh out a CRL to submit for peer review. It is both the language and the imagery the LMO team require to base their final decision, or any amendments we (builder and Detachment) may need to make to get it across the line. The written part is the easy bit, we base it off the FOTK and adjust the embellishments for Cardinal.

Greetings one and all It is that time of year where we all hope to spend quality time with our families friends and loved ones. On behalf of the staff of this mighty detachment, we wish you all a happy, safe and prosperous holiday season. Thank you to everyone that has contributed towards making FISD one of, if not the best, friendliest, and welcoming department in the Legion. Take care everyone With unquestioned loyalty and much love TK11469

Congratulations C, welcome to Expert Infantry.

Just make sure you reinforce the end where the pic rail attaches with the bolt. Looks like you might have removed a little extra material down the length of the forearm. but that is easy to fix. On the screen used assets, the rail and end box pivoted away to gain zipper access and I dont think a resin made pic rail would be durable enough in dealing with that kind of motion. Parts from the original costumes were injection and pressure molded with very durable and quite flexible plastics as a comparison. It's awesome that you are aiming for those kind of details, even better if you can make it work like the actual product. Nice work, keep it up. In the images below you can see the fixing bolt in comparison to top the end of the forearm. It also shows a degree of flex in the pic rail as it swoops up to and attaches under the front box. This would be an indicator that the material used is both flexible and durable t sustain sideways motion gaining access to the obscured zipper beneath.

Congratulations Ben, welcome to Legion and FISD as an approved member. next step if you haven't already is to apply for 501st access once your legion account is updated. This will give you more access on the forums.

Wow man, that looks amazing!
