Great job with the armor! I’m sure we will see you shortly in active service for the Empire.

Hi Alan, welcome to the FISD. Where in Germany are you located? Maybe we can help you to contact troopers nearby to help you with your build. Cheers Christian

Hi Walter, Perhaps you can remove the covers with an exacto knife. That’s the way I got them off. It’s a little fiddly but if you have a steady hand you don’t need new ones. If you break the covers ask your armor maker for a new set. I know that most armorers sell them for a few bucks. Cheers Christian

That’s great news! Hotel is booked for my first Celebration ever. Sooooo excited.

That’s absolutely cool!

Moin Trooper! Welcome to the ranks!

A picture is better than words. That’s the way I installed the strapping of my arms:

Hi Steven, congratulations to your armor! From here I don’t see a point against a successful approval. For the next level(s): The only point i actually can spot is that there are no elastic bands at the shoulder stripes. The plastic shoulder straps need to be held down in the back via a white elastic band to the white fabric that connects/bridges the chest and back piece. For the problem with the forearms: I installed a black elastic strapping on the inside between the forearms and the biceps. That prevents twisting. Great work trooper! Cheers Christian

Hello and welcome to the FISD! As Syl said, building an armor is not that hard as you may think. Research is the key, asking questions and doing patiently one step after the other. At the end of your journey there is a great armor you can be proud of.

Hello Kristin and welcome to the FISD! Have a look into the boards and you will find what you are looking for. If not don’t hesitate to ask whatever question you have. Don’t be afraid of building or modifying your armor. You need only a few simple tools to do this. Cheers Christian

Hi Pierce, welcome to the FISD! Here you will find all the information you are looking for to complete your journey of becoming a Stormtrooper.
