    Hi guys,

     

    This called my attention. I have a couple of observations as ideas for improving size and cost, having worked on stuff similar to this for my degree. you can fit LCD shutters (samsung smart TVs use similar stuff for 3D glasses) on the visor easily enough, with a micro usb camera on the teeth, all wired to a Single Board Computer like an Aaeon UP Squared or an Nvidia Jetson/Xavier (depending on specs I would go for Nvidia because of real-time graphic processing), they can fit on the back plate just the same with a 3Dprinted case and you could have the whole thing working for $500 at 1/4 the size and weight for extended periods of time with a lithium ion battery for power. It could work for an entire troop no problem. size on the helmet would be minimal depending on the camera used because lcd shutters are extremely thin.

     

    Let me know if you have any questions and would love to see a prototype.

     

    Best Regards

    Welcome to the FISD!!! You have come to the perfect place for that! we can guide you the whole way in through the build forums or you can PM anyone for help.

     

    Here you can find pre-approval forums for some guidance and examples:

    https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/193-request-tk-pre-approval/

     

    Here are the build forums for more tips on building ANOVOS kits, personally the ukswrath one is perfect and is even for centurion level:

    https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/6-anh-stunt-and-hero/

     

    Here for your local Garrison, you have the Canada Badlands Garrison:

    http://501st.ca/garrison/

    https://www.501st.com/members/garrisonglance.php?garrisonId=56

    https://www.badlands.ca/splash/ (this page takes a while to load so bear with it)

     

    The very best way to complete to build your TK armor would be to contact your local garrison or outpost, the build forums are also very good, thats how I built mine, and last but not least there are the Imperial Attaches and Deployment Officers on the forums that can help you out depending on the level you are aiming for: level 1 Basic, Level 2 Expert Infantry, or Level 3 Centurion. If you have ANY doubts whatsoever we are here to help you out with whatever you need, just ask.

     

    Good luck and we look forward to seeing your TK build photos. :salute::smiley-sw013:

    Hello and Welcome to the FISD! Luc is correct! the best way is to talk to the local garrison, in this is even better to talk to the imperial attache for the great lakes garrison to know the best options out there. good luck and be sure to let us know if you need any help

    Welcome to the FISD Lyn!!! we all love a shiny phasma! I see you have already been in contact with the GGG so you are really on your way to becoming another trooper in our lovely and white detachment. When you get your Legion ID, be on the lookout for the awesome FISD racing shirts, they are amazing. I think the rest of the troopers here have already covered the basics so if you need any help PM me and I'll be happy to help.

    hi Rowan,

     

    I sure hope you get you Doopydoos kit. I posted a thread a long time ago on the weapons forums about a problem I had with doopydoos, paid for the conversion kit for the toy and I never even got a confirmation of shipping. after six months and repeated mails and trys from paypal and me, we tried contacting them and neither one could reach them and paypal ended up refunding my money and blacklisting them. There are other options for blasters so do the research on the weapons forum like Asa said. Keep a close eye on Doopydoos, they might rip you off.
