Hi welcome to FISD. I am sure you could air brush it, but really you're going to want something bigger. Spray cans are a perfectly acceptable option and can give great results with some care. Before painting do make sure you prepare the surface, a couple of people in my garrison had issues with pin holes that needed to be filled.

Merged the two threads as they are the same subject.

Hi, DA is a known seller. However do make sure you consider all your options before rushing into anything.

I wonder if it might be this kit having searched that name on IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm7196975/mediaviewer/rm3259954689/ The key phrase in that quote is "he believes", it is not the most convincing statement. Without clear proof we will only have their word on if this was screen used or not. Either way I hope you enjoy the suit.

Welcome to FISD! Have a read through these and they should help you get started:

Is there any evidence with the sale that proves the provenance? As we’ve said we don’t believe there was any non-production suits used. Doesn’t mean there wasn’t just we’re not aware of any. Also it’s unusual for production assets to escape these days, LFL/Disney keeps hold of things.

I do not think we should change the CRL. However I am less against it than I was. As mentioned, a CRL has never been changed because of one maker making something a certain way, buyers have had to adjust to the standards at that time. They have been changed because general standards improved and old less accurate kits have been disallowed, this is not that. All cleared FO Stormtroopers to date have had to fill a lot more, and do a lot more work to clear than the DN kit. Yes the placement of some of these seams on this kit is unfortunate but that's what DN have given people to work with. If this was the equivalent of side shims and wide cover strips I'd be far more open to it, but it's not. This is something else. I don't like "dumbing down" as it's not, but it is a reduction of standards which is not really what we're here for. FWIW I don't own a FO kit, but I am hoping to in the next year or so and it will probably be a DN one so I it almost affects me.

Hi, The forums don't really have a lot of upload space what we recommend is that you use another service such as imgur to host the photos for you. https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/48799-posting-photos-using-imgur-101/

Congratulations Andrew on another year stuck with the job

Good work so far, but when rough cutting allow a little more room to the line and then clean up down to the final line with sand paper, or files. You don't appear to have gone too much to far but you've creeped over in a few places.

You've pasted them as hyper links (both text and a url to goto), not plain text which the system will convert to show an image. I've fixed them for you.

Thanks for linking my comparison Glen. At some point I will be nodding mine but I’ve not gotten round to it. I just want to mention some of the parts are a bit fragile and a friend broke the back temple part and had buy a new helmet to replace it. I also think that his approach to the rear seam that needs to be added is the right way to do it. Just a needle file, you don’t need to take a Dremel to it. https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/51311-funkster’s-3d-printed-tlj/?do=findComment&comment=751200

These are imperial boots and they have the black stitching on them. I got them in 2021 iirc.

I've literally never polished mine in 6 years Though I know some who polish it all the time. Most armour is either ABS or an acrylic capped ABS, a few are other materials but rare enough to ignore for now. You can polish or clean it straight away, you don't need to apply any protectant or sealant. I see you have an RS commission, it will probably be ABS unless you chose PVC when ordering. The helmet unless you requested separately isn't painted. It may look like it but all those lumps bumps and runs are artefacts from where it was cast from an original screen used helmet warts and all! The reference to "hand painted" will be the gray, black and blue bits.

Have they got worse in the last few years? I have some from probably the 2nd or 3rd Wave they did and even 2 days solid it was fine. Yes my feet hurt but I'd been stood up for 2 days so that's going to happen. Granted they could be better but they are not the worst inner soles I own.

Moved to ANH (Stunt and Hero) Forum

Congratulations on your approval! This really is a stunning build. 3D printing armour is no simple feat, and this has come out great.

A friend is about 90% finished with those files and its looking great. It's not an easy build though, I started for me and also have a full 70% size one and it's a LOT of work to do.

Not sure what happened as you did do the right thing, but I've updated it now.

This is the current series 9 run of trading cards, nice to look at and see what's out there. You can apply for your own card here: Both are in the Garrison Merchandise Forum which if I remember need you to be a 501st member to get access to.

Congratulations and welcome to the UKG.

Maybe message the GML and check that all is okay. 2 weeks isn’t crazy but normally I’d expect less. Could be something I’ll you’ve not picked a legion Id.

Congratulations Justin!

Hi Mike, How exactly did you apply? Have you been to the UK Garrison forum yet as you would need to follow some steps there. If you've only applied on the 501st site then that is what the issue is. IF you want a bit more of a step by step do feel free to message me but this is a good starting point if you've not: https://www.ukgarrison.co.uk/forum/ucp.php?mode=register https://www.ukgarrison.co.uk/join-us.html

Excellent work, really good eye for the details.
