  1. 2 belt updates to be made at basic level would be as follows.

     

    The bottom edge of the front belt may run flat across the belt, or may be trimmed at an angle near the cod armor to match screen references.

     

    The belt overlaps on the sides

     

    Is there enough merit in moving this section from Lvl 3 to lvl 2?

    It's rare we ever have dimensions on a CRL because of the issues it can cause, so I understand why it sits at centurion.

     

    The front belt protrudes past all mounted ammunition boxes above and below by approximately ⅛"–¼" 3–6mm.

    fs, should be started about mid-year as you need time to do all the layout and then have them ready before the end of the calendar year so people can buy them as Christmas gifts.

    Sorry I should have clarified further, a run should be done, totally agree the prep for merch always takes the longest.

  3. So this comes back to my earlier post, if it is considered something minor, the CRL simply needs to reflect 2 images one with this lower strip, one without and a language update to reflect both are allowable.

    It could be changed at basic and not mentioned in L2 or L3 so it is good across all levels and variations of this armour.

    Hello all,

    i joined this forum yesterday. Im actually in the progress of a Captain Enoch armor. Helmet is already done, armor wil be ordered in the next days and softparts (kama and gloves) are sewn right now.

    Looking forward to make my grand admiral proud.

    Greetings again Leander, the Captain Enoch section shall be your new home and will be great to have a build thread to start populating this new sections with excellent content.

    As you have already seen, we are building resources and preparing to create a CRL for this new and exciting costume. You will be one of the first to take this journey with us, and we are here to assist as much as possible in brining this costume to life for Legion.

    Once again, welcome aboard.

  5. Welcome to FISD Amanda!

    As you are gathering, there is no shortage of information, imagery and help at hand.

    We are probably the most active Detachment in the legion when it comes to members ready to assist and help make your Stormtrooper dream a reality.

    Yes, this forum can be overwhelming, so please simply ask as many questions as you need, we are here to assist.

  6. Welcome to FISD Nick.

    I think the 2 choices offered above are currently the right solutions based on your stature.

    AP redid their moulds a few years back to make the armour more accurate, but to also suit a wider range of body types.  It's well-made and certainly suitable.

    AM has always been on the slight lager size. I have built a few of both these kits for members, and you won't be disappointed which ever path you take.

    Enjoy your new journey into hard armour, we are here to help.

  7. Perhaps a combination of brighter and dimmer LED's, again this can be controlled via resistors.

    You could also use an Arduino board and write some code to get it to flicker irregularly depending on how far you want to take it.

    Add a sound board, a speaker and a micro SD reader and add some funky flamethrower sounds even.

    Sky is the limit, like the work this member did in creating a set-up for his E-11

  8. Ahh, I see what you mean, so the additional piece at the base of the belt is wider on some than on others, got it.

     Should it matter if it is wider or narrower as seen in those images above, as long as it is there? I mean that could differ between makers and 3D files to a degree anyhow right, so does it matter?

     

  9. Certainly seeing the strip on the bottom of almost every screen cap, and image you have shared.

    To me, this is meant to be there as part of the original design, so it should remain as an integral part of the costume.

    As we don't focus on one-off or exact screen replication like MEPD, I suggest until we do, if ever, then the belt should remain as a complete and by far most common seen on screen part of the CRL.

    Detachments standard CRL practice

  10. We could make both acceptable as long as we have both images in the CRL's

    Seems like always there are reason why some are modded or simply broken.

    I think if it was clear it is a broken piece, then that is a costume malfunction and a no-go like gaffer tape etc.

    Certainly plenty of references showing the lower tab and the interlocking parts across the top like a hero version??

  11. I think, what ever you choose to use in lining your helmet, it makes a difference.

    The internal becomes a personal thing with some adding 3D printed pieces emulating air filtration systems and the like, others just the black-out, and some go full electronics in the way of hearing/ mic and fan systems.

    What ever you fancy, there are plenty of options available, so plan out what suits you and your vision and go for it.

  12. Welcome aboard Leander.

     

    As Glen mentioned, visible print lines were a change we made a couple of years back when more and more printed items and files became available.

    The CRL for this costume is in the early stages so we need a person to work with to build it right, this is where you can come in as a builder. All CRL's requires photos of all the parts to be complete and approved at the Legion level.

    Team work makes the dream work, and we are here to assists in every way we can.

  13. Happy new Year to all, I hope this year brings plenty of joy and good fortune to every member in some way shape or form.

    2023 for many was challenging, now we have turned the page and the Empire will be victorious, for we are the bad guys doing good.

    Here's to Troopers helping troopers around the world in every way we can.

  14. Hi Philip, welcome to FISD!

    we have plenty of local support both on the GC and in Brisbane as well as here on the forums so you won’t have a shortage of members to turn to for assistance.

    If you put a build thread on the RGB forums, you can also copy paste it here to, photos of your progress and possible issues make it a lot easier for everyone to get the best solutions to you.

    Also as Joseph mentioned, ask as many questions as you need, we are all here to help in every way we can.

    I will no doubt see you on a troop or two in the future.

     

  15. On behalf of the staff of FISD, I would like to wish you all a happy holiday season.

    What ever you may or may not celebrate this time of year, please be safe, have fun, and if you can spend some time with the ones closest to you.

     

    For many, times have been tough in 2023 so we hope 2024 is kinder to everyone, specially those who need it most.

     

    Love and happiness to all

     

    First Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment staff
