Hi Mark The reason you are unable to post is because permissions to do so are are set for 501st approved members only I am sorry. You do have permission to view all posts in that area though. Once 501st approved you will have more sections of the forums visible to you and the ability to post in more areas. Hope that clears it up for you

Restored these as I found them while prepping for Phasma CRL work. Unfortunately one thread has a lot of image links that can not be recovered. https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/34484-captain-phasma-crl-discussion/ https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/41388-the-2017-phasma-crl-rewrite-thread/ https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/43616-tlj-captain-phasma-crl-thread/?tab=comments#comment-586566

Fixed what I could, but looking much better. Unfortunately all of Ingrid (Ladyinwhite) images are broken links and I can not restore them.

Congratulations KC and welcome to Centurion rank.

Unfortunately some of the threads are void of images as the links are broken. I'll fix the photobucket water marks though so they will be easy to see.

Your progress is awesome!! all that worry and look at you go. Thigh looks great and calf will work out just fine Rodney.

This article may be of some use to you. Imgur is on their list but at least you can have a read about each service, and perhaps one will be suitable for your use. https://www.techradar.com/au/best/best-image-hosting-websites

Truly wonderful news Justin, I am so happy for you. Here's to it staying gone.

Att all our 501st Detachment members! We mentioned we would hit the ground running so here is our first official initiatives for the new term. It give me great pleasure to announce the opening of a couple of new Sub forums today. These can be found in the Detachment Merchandise area in the 501st section of FISD. Before I get into the details, I would like to thank @starsaber25 (Steve) TK-10466, not only for this fantastic idea, but for putting these sections together and accurately compiling their content. This is the first time we have made this information so easily accessible, and possible we are the first detachment to create this style of initiatives in house. FISD Coin and Patch repository We have one each set up for coins and patches currently which contain all FISD coins, and patches. These have been made easily accessible to all 501st detachment members to peruse without having to log into the Legion collectors database looking for FISD specific merch items. These will be updated every time another run is done so you will have a quick reference archive at your finger tips, where in the past we only kept basic archives in the background. TK Trading Post Want to trade or sell 501st approved merch without the cut throat masses that exist in the social media trading groups, well here is your latest opportunity. We have created FISD's own "in house" trading platform, the "TK Trading post", open and ready for action as of today. This forum has a strict set of rules, so we please ask that if you wish to participate in the sale or trade of legion merch, that you read and adhere to them. They do follow the Legion guideline, and the forum will be moderated to keep it a safe and honest platform. Keeping it on a smaller scale and in house than what currently exists should be great for our community and newer members whether you are just setting out on your first collection or looking to complete and existing one. Yet another reason to visit FISD and become a member of the legions largest detachment. We hope you enjoy these latest additions to the FISD forums. These new areas can be found here.

Oh nice one Ben, we are looking forward to your build.

Awesome share Rodney, that is so cool. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As this costume is now approved 501st and can be built, we are relocating all posts to a new section for approved costumes. Consequently this negates the need for this costume to reside here so the section will be renamed The Force Unleashed Costumes, and remain for non 501st approved variants from the game.

Greetings fellow Stormtroopers I would like to announce your Detachment staff for the new term. Many familiar faces but there are some changes and a new addition. This is the first one of these announcements due to the size of the plans for this year, we will indeed be adding more bodies as we move through the term and start new projects. We will be looking to increase our extended staff on the IPM team in the next couple of months so if you would like to help out, please send me a PM. In the mean time we do keep our eyes on those we see that are immensely helpful to others on our boards and do look to recruit form there as well.

Good to see you had some time to gain a little more progress Ben.

Sorry i actually forgot to add the link to the members thread on the build. here it is.

We do have a member working on the costume and CRL. It wont be approvable until the CRL is complete and goes through the process with the LMO's to give it a green light. Once that happens, it will appear in the detachment list of CRL's. Unfortunately at this stage I can't give you a time line for how long that will be Jarred, it really depends on how the member is going with his build.

Greetings fellow members My team and I are privileged to serve you all for another term. For me personally, this is an honor and I am truly grateful and humbled by your continued support. Many of you already know me and understand the direction my team and I are working on driving this great Detachment, but for the benefit of all our newer members that have joined this mighty establishment recently, I shall start this address off with a brief on who I am so everyone can get to know me a little better. I also understand that those who do know me, missed the opportunity of a Q and A as part of the process, so this allows me to give you the plan for the new term. We also have the benefit of an extra 10 days where the detachment does not stall for the Q and A or the voting process, so we are immediately at work to bring you the forum experiences you all deserve. From this, we will move on to some details of how we grew last year and then my vision and planning for this new term. TK11469, forum name Sly11, Andrew Franke. Centurion, a 7-year member of the 501st and 8-year member of FISD. I am a big nerd who loves Star Wars and anything to do with Stormtroopers from the OT TK’s right through to the current day First order TK’s. I am proud to be a member of the Legion and honored yet again to serve this Detachment with everything I have. Being a people person, FISD and legion have given me the ability to help hundreds and by now thousands of others both in our community and out there in the charity field. I am personable, approachable and friendly. Just like so many here, my love of Star Wars began as a child in 1977, and that feeling is still as strong today as it was all those years ago. Being able to dress in Stormtrooper armour and continue to spread the joy and love of something so dear to me is an absolute privilege and something we can never take for granted. I have served on Garrison staff as charity officer and our CRC (costume review committee) assisting the garrison GML in costume approvals. Here at FISD, I have served in the following positions. Attaché, Deployment officer, Detachment XO, and Detachment leader. Every one of these positions has been an absolute privilege and opportunity to make these forums a better experience for everyone. Let’s talk about last year and the 2020 term. A year that affected all of us globally, restricting the ability for members to troop, let alone leave their homes in many cases. It was tough there is no doubt. It became very apparent that we needed to do as much as possible to keep FISD the place to be with activity and support for our brothers and sister around the world. I had a plan, the mission was to execute as much of it as possible but be flexible in understanding how we could keep you the members involved and your minds off the difficult times surrounding the globe. I was amazed at how our members stood up to be counted and were indeed part of the 2020 journey, troopers helping troopers was not only our motto but firmly became the hallmark of FISD. You are all so resilient. We gave a facelift to the forums, a splash of colour with forum header imagery. We created the First Order Battle Group, consolidating the entire First order knowledge into its own sub forum. A place to shine and not get lost in swathes of OT TK posts, yes a proper home long overdue and well deserved to strengthen our community and be stronger and inclusive. A massive forum cleanup effort is still running to declutter and restore lost images. I don’t want to rest on this as there is still much work to do and I believe my team is headstrong in completing this (Phase One) stage of a much bigger picture and plan I have for the detachment. We celebrated 1000 Expert Infantry, a tremendous milestone and honored it with a beautiful 11” patch to commemorate, open to all members it allowed everyone to share in that celebration and enjoy the spoils of victory. We brought you new Visual guides and photo guides to make it easier than it has ever been to get approved for EI and centurion across all our costumes. The team worked on several CRL’s again to make details clearer and remove grey areas completely rewriting the Rogue One TK with more descriptive language and new imagery And we introduced a new CRL for the TFU TK. A minor revamp of the Replica section took place, and we brought you the DL’s blog for some behind the scenes goings-on and to improve transparency. We sorted out trading cards and brought you new easy to follow threads and a “Print your own” set up. This reduced delays and streamlined the entire process. We also added a feedback thread so members could give real world recommendations on who they chose with to print their cards and how satisfied they were. We also launched the Centurion500 campaign. Those on staff not adversely affected by Covid worked double-time to bring you these and several other of our plans to fruition. We worked hard and very well as a team to keep FISD on the map for all the right reasons, but it doesn’t end there. I have over viewed 2020, looked at what work needs to be done and created a phase two plan which will not only consolidate works done but allow completion of the larger tasks of clean up and allow for new initiatives and further Forum evolution. FISD will stay very recognisable but will become easier again to navigate have some new bling but not shake its friendly forums reputation we have instilled over last year. The following are just some points of what the 2021 Detachment plan looks like. I won't be giving it all away because I do like to surprise and engage you all, not only this but I have also left room for things to develop organically. · This year I will have space for member’s ideas, a discussion forum where some of your ideas have the potential to be developed and become a reality. You will have the chance to leave your mark on the FISD forums and work with the staff from ground zero. I think this is an exciting initiative as we have so much talent across the wonderful membership and I look forward to working with you in that forum space. · Re invigorating the New members section with some major work that will take place in reorganising all the subsections, removing more clutter and creating the “New Troopers Club”. I won’t elaborate too much but there will be more ways to engage with the staff, Q And A and the hopes of a better introduction to the mass of information stored here on the forums. · The continuation of repairing and cleaning up all those Photobuket broken images and missing links. This is still a large task that takes time but we will not rest until phase one is complete. Then we will jump into Phase two of this process, a refining treatment. · An all new Expert Infantry Gallery will be created. The old one has been broken for a few years and we certainly tried to revive it last year, but unfortunately, the data is quite incomplete much of it lost when the detachment was transferred across onto the Legion server. This will require a hefty rebuild and we have devised a method to get this underway. It will have a new look and the plan is to make it easier to maintain for the future. This is a large task so I will be looking to enlist some new blood into extended staff when we are ready to launch the project. It was a great gallery of honor, and it will shine again. · 2021 will bring us some more milestone events to celebrate, and with celebration comes merch. · We are ever mindful of the costings when it comes to merch and will continue to work with suppliers to bring you affordable and exciting items. My team have already done some brainstorming and we have some seriously good ideas and designs in mind for items we haven’t seen in an FISD merch run before. There will also be detachment favorite merch items available in the new term and of course special milestone and celebratory item, it is FISD's 15th anniversary after all so we will have plenty of cause to party. These are just some of the plans prepared for the year but we already have something new and almost ready to launch. I'll make that announcement shortly, but keep an eye out for some new sub forums in the 501st members section so we will indeed hit the ground running as of today. Once again, I am honored to lead all of you through 2021 and grateful to have the opportunity to continue driving our detachment and our membership on an upward trajectory. The team are eager to get the job done, but with new initiatives, there will be some changes and opportunity to expand our team and bring new staff on board. This could be you! Last year was just the beginning, we look forward to continuing making the journey to become a Stormtrooper truly exhilarating. With Unquestioned loyalty Sly11 TK 11469 Andrew

well with no other candidate accepting, no one had to. Stand by for an official announcement.

First and foremost, I am very relieved that everyone is alright. It was good to here they also had a contingency in case of potential disaster. The community will stand with them and they will be back bigger then ever. Thank you for sharing the information here Rob.

You did it!! well done Rod, you made the cut and it looks good sir. The other side should be less stressful for you and your progress should increase now you've gained a little more confidence.
