@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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Hi welcome to FISD Your best bet is to start reading the introduction threads but as a great starting point read this guide to armour vendors

Looks great Dan!

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.

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.

Looks like a busy Spring for me then

Even if it's no use for armour you'll use it, it's handy to have around!

For reference nothing is automatically 501st approved. It needs to be built to the standards and to fit the wearer correctly. Some suits will make this easier than others, RS would be. good starting point.

Hi David, There was a security update that made that change. Your user name is public so some one already has half what they need to get into any account. If you message me what you think your other accounts email is then we can start figuring out what the issue is. Thanks. Chris.

Congratulations @Sly11

I like to use "poor mans fibreglass" for repairs. It's quick and very solid. I try to tack the fabric in place first with a few dots, then once happy flood it afterwards. Don't be tempted to use accelerator though, it can yellow the armour.

Perfect is the enemy of done. Looks like you've done really well, and I look forward to seeing further iterations. Spoken as some one who can't ever leave things alone and has piles of versions of stuff literally next to him.

Welcome to the FISD Ben!

I've cleaned (the outside) my armour exactly once. It's covered in marks and scrapes. I know they are there but on a troop no one will notice them. Some spend hours cleaning and inspecting after each troop, I am not that person!

Hi welcome to the FISD Once you’ve had a look at the links above but before you buy anything head over to the UK garrison and have a chat with our armourer team with what you intend to do. This can help prevent any nasty surprises down the line. We’re pretty lucky to have some excellent armour makers in the UK so there will be some good options for you without needing to worry about import issues which is nice given the current state of things.
