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!

A fun combination of Introvert, children's schedules and not being able to take any time off work due to having over 2 weeks off very soon.

How have I not added up that @Rob .T . is that Rob before. Looking forward to watching this.

Congratulations Ben, welcome to the UKG and FISD!

Welcome to the FISD!

I'm not sure if this was ever sent to LMO for approval so will get this over to them. As a warning there's a long line at the moment whilst they sort out the new CRL system.

I have a handguard which was cast from a screen used one if you need some reference?

Have a look at the 2D cell size, the traditional one not a modern LED one. Mine is red but the scale looks right: The black areas line up with the button and the 3 knurled areas, the lens, grip and battery cap.

That looks a lot like a 2 cell maglite.

Production Made SE-44C for TFA: Had these a while and meant to post them. Think they came from : https://www.instagram.com/steve.madethis/

Depending on what's done you might be able to save it yet. As mentioned post up some photos and we can have a look. DN did do spares in the past but they don't seem to have the torso listed at the moment. Worst case there are other suppliers you can use.

Just had a scan through the thread and I can't see a CRL having been proposed. So I guess a good place to start will be the current TFA, if we just flesh out the differences it will save on some head aches trying to keep the 2 aligned whilst we write it. I think that would amount to a few extra lines on the helmet, and a pauldron section.

Evening Justin, I'll need to remind my self how far this did or did not get. Might be in an LMO holding pattern, might be before that holding pattern.
