Que quieres saber? Los requisitos? La dificultad? El dinero necesitado? Las lágrimas invulcradas?

Además de chistes, necesitamos más información. Estás aprobado al nivel básico? Que trabajo has hecho hasta ahora? Cuál armadura tienes? Etc. Fotografías de su armadura como es (asumiendo que lo tienes) serán muy útiles.

Algunas notas. Debe ser fácil si ya estás aprobado. Tal vez tendrás que mejorar algunas cositas por precisión, y necesitarás una pistola. Personalmente, la arma es la única cosa que me falta para ser centurión.

Espero sus detalles!

Level 2 "Holster must functional"

I assume this should read "holster must function"

Hey.

 

Here's some 4K pictures of the helmet. Sadly, the textures are not that great but still better than the in-game shots.  I have the whole Stormtrooper armor from the game in my software, so do not hesitate to ask me more shots of armor parts or blasters.....

 

 ....(forgot to remove the holster, my bad) and Z-6 rotary blaster.

Great resource! Did you work on modeling for the game or something? Inexcusable on that holster 

 

Your source confirms that there ARE three ear screws in the helmet. Here is the image from @Skablaze's treasure trove. Any pics of the full armor you could provide would be much appreciated by all of us!

By the way, I've decided I'll do each trooper variant, the regular TK, the Heavy Assault, the Commander, and the Rocket launcher trooper. They're all the same base TK, with each variant just having different accessories. Shouldn't be too hard to do them all up and then just switch between them.

As such, I'll be working on doing the regular TK first and getting the CRL for that made, then I'll follow through with the variants.

I'm now working on how the strapping system should be. I guarantee the in-game model just has the armor pieces slapped onto the body. So I'll need to figure out how to emulate that.

I feel oddly responsible for this. So...sorry for the additional cost I've caused you, and your welcome for the awesome variations you'll get to build! I think it's worth noting that the goal is to bring the video game model into the real world, instead of emulating it exactly. Meaning internal strapping is entirely up to you and can be done just as any other TK could be. Just my two cents. 

[Fallen Order Heavy Assault Stormtrooper]

CRL-wise, would it be good to create a Fallen Order stormtrooper CRL with variants? Seems to be the same in-game model with different accessories.

[Help! Broken rivet]

Pics would really help us assess the situation

As for getting it ready for a troop tomorrow, that might be a long shot if you don't have extra materials on hand.

[Best way to clean armor - what really works?]

Magic eraser THEN Novus. The magic eraser will take it off but leave your armor dull, since it's basically just a very fine abrasive. Hence the Novus polish to bring the luster back.

[A new HWT was approved!]

Oh, I'd no files... I'd only purchased the finished items, which I'd then assembled, sanded and painted. 

Gotcha! I have a printer myself and am on the hunt for good files. Hence the question. Great build, welcome to the Heavy ranks!

Nice DLT-19! What files did you use (or is it self-sculpted)?

[Tk Kits on Etsy?]

Depends which trooper you plan to build. We have an approved 850 first order trooper in my garrison, but I've heard their ANH TK kits aren't very accurate. I haven't looked too far into their R1/Solo kits.

[Boots for tk]

Looks approvable. I would just caution against the durability of H&M products (at least in my experience), you might be better off shelling out the money for a high quality leather boot. Your feet will thank you after three hours of trooping, as will your wallet eventually.

[Greetings from Utah]

Hello! I'm your local attache for Alpine Garrison and the FISD. Let me know if you have any questions/want any help!

 

What files are you using to print from? I only ask because there are some VERY inaccurate files floating around and I want to be sure you're on track for approval. 

 

PM me here and I'll get you added to our garrison Comlink and we can meet up if you want!

[Full time HWT?]

As others have stated, sometimes a host will want the typically shiny TK, not a deployed trooper with a backpack, etc, so it's nice to be able to go back and forth.

[Padding Hard Armor]

I just used E6000 to glue foam in, for the same reason I used it for everything else on my build. If I ever want to, it's easy to tear out and clean up.

[Thermal detonator/backpack loophole?]

Once the review of this CRL comes round I'll be lobbying hard to remove the TD from it altogether

Ya head over to Pathfinders, it's that costume's home and there's quite a few resources there for you

Have you tried magic eraser (or your country's equivalent)? Might do the trick.

[AuthenticStormtrooper.com???]

Just based on 2 minutes of review of the website I say avoid. The proportions on the pics are all wrong, but more then that, there are a LOT of unsubstantiated caims. They claim they are the most accurate available. Based on what? They claim its pulled off the original molds, that's basically impossible, and if so, which movie? Etc etc

[Armor dressing order.]

Hahaha.  This happens all the time to me.  I did it on my very first troop - and I did it on my most recent troop.

Neither of you are alone in this. All. The. Time.

[Armor dressing order.]

Everyone does this different, but this is my order:
Thighs
Boots
Shins
Body (I keep this together clamshell style and put it all on at once)
Belt/detonator
Shoulders/biceps
Forearms
Helmet
Gloves

[HippoBoy requesting pre approval (ANH Stunt ANOVOS)]

Forgot to mention: things to change before submitting for EIB

1. Replace HOVI mic tips
2. Repaint frown
3. Paint thigh rivets

[HippoBoy requesting pre approval (ANH Stunt ANOVOS)]

Looks great, and well on your way to EIB! As I said in person, you'll probably want to put some padding in to prevent the sniper plate from coming under the thigh (I can see it doing it already), but you can decide that after your first troop. Also, that Anovos frown still needs help. We'll get it repainted

Can't wait to troop with you brother!
