I've never heard of that vendor. They might be up and coming but the fact it's unheard of is generally not a good sign. If you can link to it they we can have a look but your best bet really is to stick to the vetted sellers.

Hi everyone, I’m assuming the sudden influx is due to the census. Please let the admin team work through these and do not repost, they will get done in time. Also so remember that the only time detachment affiliation matters is for the elections in February. Prior to the elections a process will be run to sync FISD members to the Legion DB. This will not be run until just prior to elections. Thanks.

Please provide a link as requested.

I built my kit on an Ikea Lack table in my lounge over a sheet. You don't need as much space as you think. (A Lack table is 55cm/21.5" square)

Looking at the photo of the armour and the CRL, I don't see the issue? None of them extend past the base of the button to my eye?

Also use a sharp knife, sounds counter intuitive but true. A dull blade means you'll push harder, which means your more likely to slip, which means you're more likely to cut your self. Further when you do inevitably cut yourself a cut from a sharp blade will heal faster and cleaner than a nasty cut from a dull blade that was more of a tear. Personally I can't do delicate work in gloves, I'm far more likely to slip/mess up with gloves on.

Also whilst I am here this is how I made my own fans: Fan wiring diagram by Christopher Pearson, on Flickr Pretty sure there's some photos of the build in my build log which is linked in my signature.

I know I posted this elsewhere but its @pwhitrow that makes Tramp not Dan.

I don't use TrooperTalk but something similar and had the same issues with the cheap adapters.. I've used heat shrink to hold them in place. I also try and secure the wiring as best as I can at the start of each troop so that the joins aren't moving about. I still have the odd issue but nothing like as bad as I used to.

Dan doesn't make them, the guy is Paul who is a UKG member. Not a TK but troops a shadow trooper. Rom-FX is now had it's last run. If Johns sold out then there won't ever be any more.

Just moved this to a slightly more appropriate section.

Well done troopers!

If you're struggling with air bubbles you can always mix a small batch first then (with a glove on) use a finger to poke the resin into corners and areas that trap air. Once that;s done, close the mould and pour in as normal. I used this with good effect on something that was bubble city before.

Moving this thread to the foundry. Even with the price there are no products in hand so cannot be in the normal sales forum. Once you have items on hand feel free to post a new thread in the sales forum.

Yeah this sucks. But it's nice to know you always have something you can sit on

RWA is a super nice guy, he does an incredible amount for good causes. However, if you are set on a Hero then a TM in 1.5mm ABS would be my choice.

I flipped to inverse and messed with the contrast and brightness (a great way to see small dark details BTW) and it looks very much like a reflection to me.

Keep it civil please gentlemen.

TM would be my choice for a Hero, I didn't know RS did one. Price is in a similar ball park as RS iirc but you're best bet is to ask him. He's also @troopermaster on here if you would prefer that to Facebook. Ideally source all parts from the same maker. All suits are a bit different and so have a "look" which will work best as a matched set. The colour of the ABS will vary a little too so ordering from one maker at the same time will reduce this as well.

Welcome to the FISD! Helmets are 1 size fits all, some people they are more snug (me) others have loads of room. They just affects how you pad it out to fit. RS is a stunt kit, the armour is the same but they do not do a Hero helmet which has a different face plate. My weight has gone up and down. I dropped about 5kg and armour fit was still fine. Much more than this or a large gain may mean things need adjusting. I don't think I've ever seen a Hero light sabre outside of that CRL image. Not sure where they came from but generally the Hero suit will replicate the suits Luke and Han (and also a few background TKs if you pay attention) wore in ANH. There is also the "promo" trooper which used the SR-14R and short holster but there are maybe 2 members with those I've ever seen.

Really until we see the finished cut: no one knows. However I would suggest that these will not get a CRL as they will not have a huge amount of screen time or prominence. I may be wrong, hence waiting. Either way a group of 501st members now own screen used props, no arguing there.

TRamp is a standalone unit, no phone. You might be thinking of TrooperTalk?

I've not heard of MiCom do you have a link. Tramp's Paul is a personal friend so I'm biased but it does get excellent reviews (I don't actually own one). Tad on the spendy side but he looks after his customers.

TM would be my choice for a Hero helmet as well.

I use a Stanley 50gal job site box because I am too lazy to take the armour apart. It's brilliant but huge. Helmet goes in a motor bike bag just because I want to make sure it's not sat being squashed for any period of time, though it once took a hit in that bag.... Some people use a smaller 120L (about 70L less than the big ones) boxes. I used to but just found the fit a bit more of a faff so got a bigger one. Some use a large suitcase. I need to get one as for some troops the big Stanley is just too big and heavy to get on things like the Tube.
