  1. The way I’ve been drafting it on Enoch, which is based on this draft, is lvl1 can be painted on lvl2 engraved but can be paint and then lvl 3 is engraved and “gold coloured leaf”. Doesn’t have to be actual gold, but leaf does look very different to paint so I think is a valid step up for the top level. This applies to cracks and patches. Once cleared if you need to make repairs then how you handle that is going to be based on personal choice, what you have to hand, time and cost considerations. All still open to discussion, but that needs to start with something.
  2. Welcome to the Legion and detachment. Trooping is great, I wish I could get out more than I do.
  3. We are now funded through into the next term, so this funding drive is now closed. Thank you to all of you who donated and have kept the Imperial engine turning. Supporter badges have been applied to all of you. As a reminder the majority of our costs are picked up by the Legion, who are currently having a drive to cover those pretty substantial costs. If you have not yet done so, even $1 will help. https://www.501st.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=113646
  4. The vertical spacing looks significantly thinner than then bottom one, and the gap at the top of the slice appears to be closer to the side then the base. This suggestion seems more accurate to my eyes. Though you might want to check the relative proportions of the various black elements.
  5. Make sure you check the ab plate as from what I have seen there are better files.
  6. Would something like a craft paper work? Here I'd use lining paper (for wall papering) as it's cheap, large and would drape more than card.
  7. I will be starting with those as reference points, and the armour is based on modified R1 armour but at this stage it's hard to commit to anything, especially this early.
  8. Welcome to the FISD! I don't think you need to worry, though we all do especially the first time. You have a lot of skills there that whilst maybe not directly applicable have taught you to figure stuff out. Take that and some guidance from your garrison and us here on the forum and I am sure you will be a Centurion soon enough. My single best piece of advice is to take your time before buying anything. Take some time to see what your local troopers are using, what the more recent centurions are using and what is in your budget and make sure it will work for the goals you want to achieve.
  9. Thank you to all of you who have jumped on this so quickly and keeping the Imperial machine running. I've applied your supporter badges for all of you who have donated so far.
  10. Thank you for supporting the Imperial Systems.
  11. Greetings troopers! For a while now FISD has been hosted on the Legion web servers who cover our hosting costs along side those of the Legion. We do still have costs we cover ourselves, the big one being the email service. Over the last few years this has been generously paid for by members of staff, who have already covered a chunk of this year. In order to fully fund the email service we need to raise $150 to keep the emails going until the end of the term. We would like to let as many of you contribute as possible, so we are asking for a $2 donation towards the running costs from any members who are in a position to do so. Now you might be asking what do I get out of this? First we all get emails! You also get the warm feeling of knowing you are a trooper helping troopers. All members who donate will also have the 2024 supporter banner added to their profile. We are now funded, thank you to all of you who donated. With Unquestioned Loyalty, Your FISD staff team
