I've always put this down to hard armour is not exactly comfortable. I've seen a lot of people build a TK troop an amount of time and now are only seen in an ID or a TI. The idea of something for the trooping awards is not a new idea, There was a staff discussion, I think last year, but it sort of fizzled out and we re-focused on more important tasks, The issue of stock is a big one, we are not in a position to be able to sit on any stock as some one will have to be out of pocket. The other option is to do low volume runs which isn't ideal either, Then there's things like "how many are you allowed", you don't really want an unlimited count on these. Also, believe it or not, FISD isn't a merch heavy detachment and never really has been. We probably have done a little more over the last year or so than in the past, but from what I understand we are not the highest volume producer. Either way, there is now a staff thread and we will consider it again.

Welcome to the FISD!

Unfortunately this is a result of situations outside of his control. He is doing his best to get products to those who paid for them, as fast as possible.

The text we can fix, photos well that takes a trooper

Thanks for updating that issue on the back plate, I only can see it as I know it's there. @Deployment Officer Team can you have a look at these for compliance with the current CRL text please. The photos might need to be re done though, especially on the helmet and some lager parts like the chest. The issue is the perspective. I am going to guess you've used a phone camera and got in really close. This distorts how things look and is most visible on the helmet, where the front of the helmet dominates the image. If you are able to using a longer lens (2x, 3x or 5x if you have it) and standing further away for the same framing will fix most of this. It will need to be "real" zoom though not just cropping in as this is caused by the optics. This image shows what I mean a bit more clearly. Same person, same framing but longer focal length (more zoom) looks more like what you want. This is using 2 extremes but demonstrates it well. On some parts this doesn't really matter and what you have will be fine. Just try and keep the camera level with the part and not to look down on them as you have here.

I've had some time to go back and consult references. 9 is indeed correct, and I am not exactly sure how we got 8 as you need an odd number, 7 would have been more understandable! So for this CRL, I have updated the text to 9. For the other R1 based CRLs I will need to make a request to the LMO so will probably only go live as part of the new CRL system.

Thank you Glen!

In short, completely missed there had been an update as it fell into a busy period for me! I will add this to the list to do "soon". As @Sly11 said there's platform issues, and Enoch is already ahead of this as well, along with other CRLs from other dets. There are 9 teeth and a bit hard to see but 10 hollow spaces. The text was copied from the Rogue One CRL. If we want to change it, we could, but we would probably want to update all CRLs and also make sure that we're not about to cause a lot of headaches if the available helmets don't meet this.

Hi, Welcome to the FISD. Whilst we've got a few Rogue One troopers, and soon the Night trooper so can help out, the Mimbian Trooper is actually an MEPD CRL. https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:Mimban_Trooper Their forum is here: https://forum.mepd.net/

Congratulations Trooper!

Congratulations trooper!

Looks like some nice progress. Be good to see more of these at troops.

Made one of my Bambu P1S. This is all Bambu PLA as I happened to have the right colours. Normally I back coasters with some adhesive backed EVA but I'd not yet gotten round to it on this one.

It’s also worth noting that submission is only the 1st step of the process. It will need to be approved by LMO and then added to the CRL system. At the moment there is a queue for approval and that once it’s our turn there is no guarantee it will be approved and changes may be requested.

As long as it takes really. The FISD crls are all ported and ready but that’s only a small part of the migration. I think they are hoping for “soon” but that’s as good as I can offer at this point.

Welcome to the FISD Kian. Looks like you've been given some great starting points there. Don't be afraid to ask questions as you go we'll do our best to help you out.

Ooh I should have all the colours for this one.

Anovos yes but they closed down. DN is a different company. I ordered my kit last April and it arrived in about a week to the UK from memory.

Please see the first post in the thread and provide the requested link

Sorry I should have added that the CRL system is under going some work. That said it’s getting there. The FISD part is complete but there is still work to do in other areas.

Initial draft went to the LMO last night. Now we wait.

I believe the bra hooks are the best approach as they have some give when moving. Looking at your setup how much stretch do you have in the elastic? With mine I have very little "pull" on the hook just enough to hold it all in the right place, but from how bent that hook is I am wondering if you have a lot of tension on it? How much elastic is loose at the end as it looks like basically the whole length is glued down.

Not sure there are many/any UK HWT troopers, though I am sure with a bit of hunting about we could find something suitable.

Welcome to the FISD! Always good to see new UKG members here! Also make sure you check out our Expert Infantry and Centurion programs: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/95-expert-infantry-program/

Hi, I'll cut to the chase, he's trying his best to catch up with orders and will deliver all orders eventually but it will take time. Depending on where you are in the queue will determine when you get your order. No new orders are being taken, only the back log. Sorry it's not great news, but he really is trying to get everyone what they ordered.
