Ok I can answer this question for you Mario on two points. Firstly, Ty is in my garrison and I have handled this armour and examined every piece so I am familiar with it. I must say at first this had me confused as well. That was until we emptied the box and I then understood how the kit worked. If you have a look at the image on the 850 site where the armour is all out on the floor you will notice it comes with 2 kidney plates. One has nothing on it, one has the TD back plate molded onto it. They did this so they know the TD plate conforms perfectly to the shape of their kidney plate as you cut the TD plate out of that second kidney plate.

Just a quick observation, make sure your Butt plate is sitting nice and straight. One side has dropped down from under your belt. As we look at the image, your right knee plate may need to be adjusted outward just a little so it is aligned. Other's will chime in but you look great, so i wish you good luck.

This is an awesome costume mod Michael. If you do consider working on a CRL let me know as we will need to discuss references with the LMO team to see if they would entertain it.

Hi Todd Are you using a photo share service like Imgr? If you are saving them directly into your post, yes you only have limited space. Some awesome shots by the way, thank you.

Attention all Imperial citizens of the FISD We have been working on a project which has been under discussion since the start of this term and are preparing to move forward with this initiative. It will form part of our 15th anniversary celebrations and part of detachment history. We can't announce exactly what it is as yet, but we are sure you will love it. We want your troop photos from around the world. Local troops, Cons, Celebration etc. If you are a TK and 501st approved, you can submit photos. Photos of TK's both OT and First Order, any of the costumes in our CRL to be honest. Can be a single trooper but group photos are very welcome. What you consider your best troop photos or most memorable can add more meaning to this project so select carefully. Ultimately we are after High quality or resolution photos, but for this thread, you need simply only add a lower res version using Imgur or other photo sharing 3d party services. Just make sure you have a good version to supply for the project if requested . Based on how many submission we receive, the final selection will be made by the staff. We are looking for the best and most varied photos old and new. If selected, you will receive a PM from myself or one of the staff requesting you email, share the high res version image (email will be supplied in the PM) Google doc or other sharing services can be used. What info do I need to supply with my image post? You may post as many photos as you like. Date or year the photo was taken and location. (state or country etc) Photographer name if known for each photo. Garrison/Squad/Fire team name. Photos must contain TK's predominantly, we are Stormtroopers after all. Both old and new photos are welcome, history is a great thing specially in our anniversary year and we can't wait to reveal what this is all about in the coming months. If you have any other questions, please ask in this thread to benefit others. Looking forward to seeing some awesome Troopers on assignment.

Hi Brandon, welcome to FISD. Did you order the kit so you can build it yourself or is it an RS commission build?

It's a shame we don't see them in action on the big screen, same as the death Troopers from R1 with their green lights.

Agreed. Basic allowable for cod and maybe TD and fore arms. We will discuss further. Above that we shoot for one look and add to EI and Centurion. I dont recall if they still used any TFA parts in TroS will need to go take a look because if we intend to have TLJ/Tros as the same CRL then this may well change those basic allowances.

A CRL always requires a costume built first, otherwise it is like putting the cart before the horse. If you are indeed the first then we will work with you to write the CRL. Luckily we have the R1 platform to base it off so this won't be too difficult. As has been suggested, build using the R1 CRL, and make sure you do document any changes that make the remnant stand apart from that costume. Include as many screen shots as possible in your build thread with your thoughts and descriptions. Not just the weathering but any you find as you research and build. Any new to legion costume goes through this process and we must present the information to the LMO team for final approval. I am very excited you are taking on this build Scott, and look forward to working with you to make the CRL as good as it can be.

Welcome to FISD Austin! Look forward to seeing a build thread and your TK journey begin.

I believe you would be part of the Florida Garrison, and yes Tampa has a local squad and FB group. https://www.facebook.com/TBSquadFL/

Excellent. I can confirm KB has moved to resin cast for sure. Walt is a new player in this arena but I'm yet to see any close up images of his thermal detonator constructed. This is it in parts We do have a few that supply either 3D printed or resin printed correct helmet clips, so I think this is something we can also update the suppliers list with so it is clear what type they provide. I believe both are based on ANOVOS but could be wrong. We also now have someone 3D modeling the correct TD for TLJ and it will be 2 pieces with the inner tube separate along with the correct and accurate cut out provisions. A good piece of info to obtain would be the amount of protrusion the inner cylinder has out from the end of the main body as it is a spec I haven't seen for TLJ.

This is a tricky one as in some images it certainly looks Matt and in others it does look Satin. At this stage we are looking to correct the differences we have between the armours of the 2 films and also obvious distinct differences in the weapons and load outs. We will get to those finer details of colour type if we have some solid evidence it is one or the other.

Yes basic approval first, then once approved, EIB, and after that, maybe even Centurion

I think this is a real possibility specially if the modeller can make a TLJ specific version. The only trouble I see would be that it fits to the shape of the various back plates available with it's width. Sure some sanding grinding and bondo could probably alleviate that and I think it's a better solution as opposed to attempting to modify something and potentially ruining it. Mark, care to share who the designer is? If he is selling these files, I think many would be interested. Would be great to talk with him and see if we cant encourage him to do a TLJ specific version. We can share some resources with them. Glen where are these makers that do make a correct TD, images would be very handy for this thread please.

We do a run every now and then so there is always a chance we will do another. I can't tell you when because it is usually one of the staff that does the run and outlays the initial funds. They then sit on the patches until they are all sold. Sometimes this takes a year or so.

Not all TD's are ABS, KB is resin so might be a little difficult depending on how thick/thin it is. Cod is easier than most other modifications tbh, and there are 3 different cods seen on screen, so are they all right or wrong? If no one is making a specific TD then it might be a change that has to wait a while longer.

Welcome aboard Colin!

Amendment for the Thermal detonator still needs further refinement. Because both the TFA version and the newer TLJ are both seen in the film, I think at basic level we can make an allowance for either. The thermal detonator mounting plate sits under the backplate and rests above the belt. The small slot along the top of the detonator is black The control panel is black. The righthand recessed end cape is black. The lefthand end cap extends from the detonator assembly and is black all around the cylinder as well as the end surface. TFA Thermal Detonator is allowed at basic level. The left-hand end cap extends from the detonator assembly and is all black. There should be no visible seams. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): TFA Thermal Detonatorversion is not permissible. A small section of black around the base of the left extended end cap shall be present. OPTIONAL Level three certification (if applicable): The end cap is part of a tube that extends into the length of the detonator The small recess along the top of the detonator is cut out showing the black tube inside The control panel along the back of the detonator is cut out showing the black tube inside Where I like this information for Centurion, currently we are faced with no maker that I am aware of, supplying this as an accurate piece. This basically would prevent many from achieving this level until such time as one is available.

Found it rat.

So only the helmet clips are different? We will certainly work towards a new model for the main CRL images to keep it inline and accurate with the changes we are proposing.

All good. I'm on conference calls today so popping on in between.

Sounds good. Do you or have you made a set? we will need a good clear image for the CRL.

No problem Glen, you probably deserve a break from the tedium of that job for sure. A group of us will get this nutted out and we shall take feedback from any that wish to input along the way. Team work!
