  1. I've done 12 troops since getting approved and still getting biting and making fitment tweaks. Congratz!
  2. Looking good, trooper! Congratz!
  3. Congratz to you! Don't worry about how long it took you... I got you beat. I ordered mine back in 2005 and finally got mine completed this past June. It's part of your journey. Now the fun begins!! Welcome aboard!
  4. Mine is an FX kit from 2003. So, I probably should have the bottom of my chest piece sitting right at the top of button panel because the chest is oversized compared to current armor kits. I will be donning my armor on Halloween for the Trick-or-treaters. I will hike up the cod piece and play around with it a little bit. Maybe wife can take some more updated pictures as reference. The picture that has the blue and green lines on it is much older than my first ref pic at the top of post. BUT, I noticed a lot of clicking and pinching between thighs and cod/ab during my last 2 troops. So, I know something needs to be adjusted more AND I want to look best that I can. Looking at my signature pic below, There is definitely too much hanging boxes overlapping the thighs. That may be another source of the clanking and highlighting ab and belt are not high enough.
  5. Yes, this is mine. When I did this I was more concerned about the ammo pack laying flat along the thigh. I did not notice that most TKs the ammo belt is has a upward tilt to it. This is evidenced by my picture vs the one you inserted. It is on my list of things to correct for EIB. I am in the process of ordering new thigh ammo belt. The one from my FX kit I haven't really liked that much after reviewing other armor kits.
  6. I am working on how to secure my iphone and speaker while running TrooperTalk. Instead of reinventing the wheel, share your setup here!
  7. Welcome to the legion!
  8. Great looking armor! Welcome!
  9. Awesome picture and welcome aboard!
  10. I had same question. I was given same answer. That they update once a year. Otherwise, it would be a full time job to update every time a new person joined especially at the scale of people joining in recent years. I was told not to worry until March. As long as you fill out the Census for 501st and are using the same email for 501st and FISD, then you should be good. I am not sure how you found out, but I saw this when I was filling out the census. So, if you did the stuff above, you should be good. Best Regards, Michael Rose
  11. Congratz to you, Brien!
  12. Prayers for you and your family. I hope things continue to improve. Best Regards, Michael Rose TK-12037
  13. Any updates on your progress? Interested in seeing what you come up with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
