It's relatively inexpensive (compared to a TK). Plus she was attending all the troops anyway, might as well join up officially. Some events we were having to pay for her a ticket to attend even as a handler because she wasn't 501st, this will eliminate that hassle. Sent from my ComLink

She's been awesome and has attended every event I've trooped to help out and take pics. We finally decided to get her involved officially and put together a Tie Reserve to get started. She plans to do a Jawa in the future and have ordered the new Anovos ANH TK for her as well. Just wanted to share. Thanks!

+1 If you're planning to troop the new movie openings with this kit, you might want a back up plan.

order placed

You could get prescription sport glasses. or I've seen a guy on here take off the sides and affix the glasses inside the helmet. (just suggestions as I don't wear glasses)

That's pretty cool!

It's really a comfort issue. the only parts that aren't supposed to have it are wrist and ankle. As far as I know, you can trim the other edges to make it comfortable for you. Mine doesn't have edges on the thigh tops since I had to trim them down.

yes, that's him.

oh man... I don't remember the guys username. I'd have to go dig for it. Maybe search for some hashtags. If I find it later I'll send it to ya. Sent from my ComLink

and regarding the lift on the NDA, one builder and his crew posted a bunch of build images on Instagram yesterday. I'm assuming the NDA is no longer in play.

Thanks for helping keep everyone up to date on this Tim. I was able to help a squadmate work on his TFA TK some. It's pretty amazing in person. I'll def buy one.

He did have a microphone held up right there tho.

You'll want to use smaller rivets (with washers/I don't have one near me to measure) to connect the plastic to the canvas. That way the covers will sit flush on top of the rivet heads. Snaps may be too big. I just built a belt last night. I should have taken step by step photos. I'll post pics of it tonight after work.

Oh man! This was great! So dark and gritty. Dude w the nose ring is a total bad a--! Can't wait for more from these guys.

Are you that big of a Twilight fan dude?! LOL!

Great tips! I have a rough itinerary planned. I also have a post over on the Garrison Titan boards.

velcro side to the inside of the calf. only velcro the shins, not the forearms

cm325i :-P

Thank you sir. I'm pissed my photos disappeared. I also keep telling myself going Centurion isn't that big of a deal... but I think I might go for it.

If you're still shopping for armor and want it for the new movie premiers, I personally wouldn't rely on this offer (as tempting as it may be). I'd go with a vetted maker from FISD and get started building. At this point we don't know what it looks like for sure, if it will be 501st approved, or even if it will ship before the movie. Another option is to make this order but put together another costume for approval and/or ep7 premier events. Officers or Tie Reserve Pilots don't take too much upfront $$ and look great for trooping. Then you can build the new armor when it arrives. Just weighing options.

I'm ordering one for my GF. If it ends up being 501st accepted, then cool. If not, then I'll paint it pink for her.

yes, you can trim the front neck line if necessary. I'd try to utilize as much of the existing plastic curvature as possible before trying to use heat to reshape anything. Bad things can happen quickly. *you may have brought the back plate up a little too high.
