Welcome to FISD Tim! As you have discovered, there is loads and loads of valuable information here on the forums. Not only that but we have an army of members with vast experience ready to help guide you on your journey. We are here to help.

Very nice work Matt, great set of photos. Hopefully you do get to christen it with your first troop soon. Thanks for the update

Thanks for getting this out early Glen.

I'll echo others here and say WOW, beautiful application photos KC, good luck sir.

If the fit is feeling comfortable, then its time to take that last step. have you walked around with the thigh on and does it still remain comfortable? it is fine to have your cover strip slightly off set to the join, just try and keep it as central as possible to the center of your thigh. It can help to run an internal strip that does cover both halves equally if it needs extra strength, just like adding an internal strip to the front of the shin. I oversized my thighs so I have plenty of room to move inside, they are not snug at all, and that is perfectly acceptable as well. What you do want is a nice taper down the length of the leg from top of the thigh to the bottom of the shin. Bottom of thigh size closely matches top of the shin size.

Great to hear, Welcome back.

Welcome to FISD Sharizman! If you are looking to build a Stormtrooper. you are certainly in the right place. This is where to begin. https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/38-getting-started-read-this-first/

Wow belt position is great, you are almost there with the build and it's looking very nice.

Welcome to FISD Corry! Looking forward to you build.

Welcome to EI ranks Jakob

Congratulations David!

Good on you Chris, keep working on those 3D files too, I'm looking forward to seeing some prints of those and am happy to work with you on improving them as much as possible.

Att all troopers It gives me great pleasure to announce FISD's latest CRL The Force Unleashed Stormtrooper Special thanks goes to Glen, gmrhodes13, for his very solid build of this costume but also for his major role in establishing this new CRL. Please join me in congratulating Glen. https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_forceunleashed

Yep looks good, some additional points, just make sure you center your Thermal Det, just a dressing issue, but you want to look your best in the application photos. Your grey ab buttons look almost black but this is most probably a lighting issue so might pay to take another photo of those under softer light or from a different angle. They should be the same colour as your frown.

They look good. Not too large on you but just make sure they are not too tight either, for comfort.

Welcome aboard Chris, look forward to your build thread and following your journey.

Good to see you back on this project Jason. Nice work on the more accurate strapping modifications too. Paul certainly does know his stuff .

Also Logan I am happy to work with you and your GML on this. He has already spoken with me briefly and I mentioned we are taking care of you. Our main goal is to get you approved and out trooping again.

Good progress Ian, this will come together nicely. Keep up the great work.
