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.

IMPERIAL BOOTS VS TK BOOTS
themaninthesuitcase replied to TK71169's topic in Boots, Soft Parts, and other Accessories
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

Are we doing this?????
themaninthesuitcase replied to BigJasoni's topic in Captain Cardinal Build Threads
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

@CableGuy if you find some of the smaller parts need more detail let me know and I'll see if I can do them in resin for you. -
CableGuy’s SE-14R build (3D printed)

Looking good Dan. -
100% and it's all the more annoying knowing that they have filmed something for most stuff since TFA with in an hour (or a lot less) of me. Scariff was about 5.5 miles from me! I drove part them setting up for Kef Bir and the crashed death star after a tip off from a friend who saw the crew loading up on snacks!

ANOVOS (DENUO NOVO) FOTK Armor Delivery Possibility
themaninthesuitcase replied to JonnieBear's topic in TFA Stormtrooper
I know there was some huge issues with getting stuff in and out of ports for quite a while and I don’t know if that’s actually resolved yet. So I don’t feel like they are fobbing anyone off like Anovos did. I don’t have have a stale here fwiw, but I would love to see them succeed where previous attempts failed. -
Expert Infantry Application Guidelines
themaninthesuitcase replied to Darth Aloha's topic in Request Expert Infantry Status
Hi Chuck, To apply for EIB you will need to follow the instructions in the first post. It can be helpful to look at a couple of recent EIB passes to see the format in action and also double check your suit before application. -
How to repair ABS Plastic?
themaninthesuitcase replied to Dubfunkstar's topic in ANH (Stunt and Hero)
First carefully remove the rivet. Once that's out back the hole with a small off cut of plastic. Then use ABS paste to fill the front hole, ideally made from the same ABS as the armour. You may need to fill and sand a few times but with some care it will be essentially invisible. -
Had 2 4 day passes in my basket and they sold out in the 15s it too to double check and press buy Just the Saturday for me now then sadly.

stormtrooper helmet
themaninthesuitcase replied to Daveybobs's topic in Hard Armor (General Discussion)
If you're after a Hero (what Luke and Han wore), vs the Stunt (what you see most of) which what most of us actually use, then TrooperMaster is probably your first port of call. If you are happy with a Stunt then you have a bit more options and it depends what you want to spend. RS are made using moulds taken from a screen used helmet. RWA is sculpted helmet but has been refined and is a pretty decent option too. All 3 of the above will be available as a kit, or you can pay a little more for a built one. -
Looking to get started/ Little bit about me
themaninthesuitcase replied to BlytheH's topic in New Member Introductions
Welcome to the FISD. If you update your profile with roughly where you are we may be able to point you at some local people who will be able to help you as well. -
Not to be too eager but can some one with more of a clue than I chip in with what the det will need to do for a celebration? I only did 1 day at CE3 as it was around the time I cleared so couldn't go as legion/UKG @CableGuy you've just been volunteered too.
