  1. I agree with this proposal (for basic only). Whilst one of the things I really like about the 501st and FISD is the uniformity of appearance that the CRLs create (I love it when I find it hard to indentify myself in a group photo!), I think this small change makes a lot of sense. Allowances are already made in our CRLs for other costumes to support and promote inclusivity and accessibility. For example - I dont recall seeing torso shims on OT TKs on the movie screen?? This is a perfectly logical and great way to support and accomodate all our members of different sizes. There are many members who never would have been able to build an approved costume without such considerations. Small allowances for things like that have and should be important considerations for the basic levles of approval. In this instance it's not about body size or shape, but the practicalities of our materials. I understand others have different views, and I wanted to share my support for the proposed changes (and again, only for the basic level of approval) MTFBWYA
  2. i got the reply below from DN on 2/7/22… not the first time i’ve heard that this kit was ‘on the boat’ so to speak….. Am still holding out hope though…. Hi Mark, The Stormtrooper Kit is currently on its way to us but we haven't received them yet which is the reason for the delay. We expect them to arrive to us very soon. I will email tracking once your order ships. Thanks and MTFBWY! Denuo Novo Customer Service
  3. This is an awesome thread. Thank you for the time you’re putting in and the detail you are including. I’m learning while I continue waiting for Anoshow... One question about the bolts for the belt boxes and shins, etc. how do you get the placement of the bolts right when glueing them? Am I right in assuming that you temporarily hold or affix the boxes in place, with the bolts sticking through their holes? I know this might seem obvious - but it’s somethng I’ve been pondering in the virtual build inside my head.... thanks
  4. Hi Glen. You mentioned a down under paint that matched the Anovos helmet? I'm in NZ (not Aus). Was it Supercheap Auto? Or something else? And could you share the specific brand and colour (and any product codes?). It'd be great to get a local good match. Thanks
  5. It’s a good thing none of us wanted to wear our Sequel trilogy FOTK armour - while a sequel trilogy movie was still in theatres...
  6. Thanks for all your work Joseph. Congrats on having the courage to be upfront and make the decision to look after yourself and your family. We'll always be here.
  7. I feel like a coke addict hanging out for my next hit. Only my 'hit' is the hint, promise, taste of a new 'intended' delivery date....
  8. Hey - sorry for the long delay in replying. Just measured it. it is 33 cm from end to end.
  9. Good to hear you got it working. Could you share/show the one that worked?
  10. Simply amazing! Congratulations on a great build. You have a very lucky son.
  11. Any takers on this question (about where to find the 3D files for the forearms). I'd be keen to hear too? Thanks
  12. Thanks. We’re in an interesting situation as most discussion focuses on taking a TFA kit and turning it into TLJ - whereas I want to go the opposite direction and take a TLJ kit and return it back to a TFA... fun times ahead - and I’m sure the CRL will be updated before Anovos actually ship anyway.
  13. So I’m trying to use the time spent waiting for this armour semi-productively (instead of spending it making voodoo dolls of Anovos executives..). I’m trying to work out what the specific differences in the TFA vs TLJ armour are (not the helmets as that’s clear). I’ve poured through all the other forum posts and old CRL building discussions - but I can’t seem to find a definitive list of differences. What’s driving this is the comments about the armour seeming to be TLJ and I’m wondering just what will need to be changed to make this TFA approveable. I know that the cod is different (thinner) but there isn’t a clear explanation about which level of approval this difference is required for. I also know that the end cap on the TD is a different colour - but there were some old forum discussions about the size/length of the end cap maybe being different and I can’t see any description of where this ended up. There was also some old discussion about the spats maybe being different? I’m sure I’m not the only person wanting to make the TFA version of this armour - from what seems to be a TLJ version that is occasionally shipping. Can anybody help clear this up for us all (or if I’ve missed an exisiting thread about this, point me in that direction)? thanks
