Which garrison is it you've applied to? There's a reasonable chance someone here will be a member and might be able to nudge for you.

The steer from LMO was the R1/Andor etc TK will be called Non-Saga (NS), this is in line with what's been done with other detachments. We do have a few NS based armours at the moment, R1, Artillery trooper are approved. Enoch is sort of NS based but also heavily modified, then the night trooper CRL is in progress as well which again is modified but the armour is the same. Looking at what we have, if we were to change anything it would be to rename the Rogue One CRL to be Non-Saga and then update the top to reflect this. I know there's a few bits in the other appearances that vary, but I'd need to dig in more to remember what any of that was. Accuracy wise, always open to update the CRLs, but we need help. The best way for updates due to accuracy to happen is to come with a list, backed up with evidence and we can the review and once happy pass on to LMO for approval. Once they are happy it's a quick job to update. The hardest part of this tends to be if we need now photos, as we'd need a member to build the new part, then photo it, then send it to us. Historically this has been like pulling teeth.

Hey @astrosally any chance you can provide a neck seal image? The ones we have all use white armour so would be nice to get one on the matching red armour.

Hi, There was some confusion on process post system change over. I've just resubmitted the CRL and will update once I hear more.

Welcome to the FISD. This is a UK Garrison thing so you'll need ask over there. Not sure what the exact process is honestly as it's pretty new and I've not had to do it my self, but if you need a hand I can find out for you. For the sounds I just use an Aker speaker, no effects. I found the clicks irritating and the speaker on it's own does a pretty good job of meaning I can be heard. You can't get the one I have anymore but there's similar speakers around.

Welcome to the FISD Max. The Welsh Squad will get you sorted, good people over there. I have one of the Sheartech ANH blasters I picked up this year but haven't got a chance to troop yet, or even get out of the box properly I had been trooping a resin blaster for years and every troop was worried about dropping it to hitting someone by accident. The rubber blaster removed all these worries for me when Mark let me borrow his at a troop earlier this year.

Thanks got them.

Just so you know I am not doing nothing, I am slowly working through these. Looks like it's all there so far part wise but if I find anything I'll shout. We will need some better full length images, front and rear as the ones in the folder are very small.

Yes this is correct. Unfortunately Tramp are no longer taking orders.

Might have to make a couple of these to go with the gingerbread droids I found last year

Other than what James has mentioned this is a good start. I'll start to complete a CRL template and check we have all we need. Just be aware this is a very time consuming job so might take a while! Fortunately I just got Affinity Photo for free so hopefully that will make things a bit easier.

I've been trooping Anovos armour since I joined the legion. I'll agree with Justin in that I think it's a nice balance of accuracy and not looking too messy. Good to hear it's a bit tougher now, mines really starting to show it's age and I don't troop half as often as a lot of the SCG folks!

Have you changed any cables recently? Sounds like EM interference, so may also be a broken/loose ground inside somewhere.

Your last logon is recorded as May 2023. The OP states you must login at least once a year to eligible for detachment membership. As you have now logged on this will update the next time the Legion Sync runs, probably in January as it's generally only run close to the election.

Hi, I was trying to look at the part images but when I click through I am getting a "That page doesn't exist" error. Is there something like a good drive I can look at? Looking at the smaller images there are some perspective issues that if we can would be nice to sort out. The issue is the cameras on phones are quite wide angle which introduces perspective distortion. Ideally you'd use an actual camera with something in the lower telephoto range, but I realise that's a rarity these days. If you can use the highest non-digital zoom you can on your phone and stand slightly further away. Also if you can try get as close as you can to straight on then we would get the best possible view of the parts.

It takes me back to the bad old days of the Photobucklet apocalypse. I am hoping someone folds, but I can imagine both being stubborn enough to not.

Helmet looks like it's the vek3D model which is I think is the most common helmet. Reading the etsy listing seems like a casting which isn't bad thing. Though it's gold paint not leaf, which isn't going to stop basic but would be an issue for level 3 and generally just looks nicer if you can. You may also have issues matching the paint and weathering to your suit as you build as you're not painting the whole thing.

It will probably stay that way until closer to the election. That's the only time it matters so the sync is done then to ensure accuracy. We don't generally do manual approvals as the sync will do it for us.

Legion announcement https://www.501st.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=116042&sid=fb3db776d9806ff7753eccc1456e9995 The new CRL system has gone live to replace the old wiki we’ve been using up until now. This is the result of 100s of hours of work so please join me in thanking the team behind the new system. Whilst all effort has been made to ensure we have copied this over correctly, it was all done by hand so errors are probably inevitable. If you see any please let us know and we’ll get them fixed as soon as possible. Main page https://crls.501st.com FISD CRLs https://crls.501st.com/fisd

https://www.theverge.com/news/788823/imgur-uk-users-blocked-ico-investigation Obviously this only affects us in the UK, but given FISDs defacto image hosting is Imgur, this is more than a little inconvenient. It can be bypassed with a VPN, but that's not a free option so I will have to look into what I will be doing about it.

Done!

As apparently my space is everyone else's dumping ground something was knocked over and hit my blaster, which I've never trooped. Damage toll: Broken sight, currently MIA dings to various areas ding to the aluminium mount If I can find the sight part I'll try glue it back on and see if this can be used as a spare/set decoration. Guess I am building the TLJ one now.... On the plus side the way that goes together I may be able to make this bit field repairable. To Fusion!

The Stanely 50gallon is the same, just pull out the handle and drop in the tray. Was always super helpful.

Would be cool to see some photos in costume post Dragon Con!

Welcome back trooper!
