Welcome to FISD !

This is The Way.

Congratulations Trooper. Welcome to The Legion.

I am afraid not. Please refer to the CRL on the requirements. https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_-_First_Order Currently Imperial Boots seems to be the best bet on getting a pair, but their operation is located in China which has been hit hard by the new coronavirus and might run into production delays.

Hello ChriCat, welcome to FISD. If you are referring to a "Carton" build (Cardboard carfting) I don't recall we have anything of that sort here. However, one of our member built an entire suit out of EVA foam and it's very impressive. You can take a look at his work and may be you can draw some inspiration there:

I believe the picture of the printed parts is from Ray (Blastermaster), when he retired he released his model on thingiverse for public.

Congratulations Trooper.

Imperial Boots for sure, but with the new virus ravaging China their production might run in to serious delay.

Congratulations and welcome to the Legion.

Hello Matthew, Welcome to FISD. I am also a saber builder, would love to see what you are working on. Have fun here!

Congratulations!

Maybe you should write to Hotmail for support let them know of the problem?

Hello AJ, Welcome to FISD.

Essentially ANH-S and ESB are the same, apart from slight colour and painted detail differences (ESB has a slightly larger eyes cut out too), only the hand plates and the canvas belt are the parts that are not interchangeable. It really gets down to your personal preferences.

See if this helps, our demography from FEB Newsletter

Black Nomex flight gloves are fairy popular with troopers, you can search them on amazon and get back to your GML and see if its ok. OR, just get a pair of black chemical gloves and get yourself approved first, and ask your garrison mates what is their best recommendation.

There is an alternate method to post picture from Google Photos: 1) Get a sharable link from the photo you wish to share in your Google Photo album 2) Go to https://ctrlq.org/google/photos/ and paste the link 3) Get the link form the bottom of the page under "Google Photos Embed Code" "Direct URL link" box 4) Paste the link directly in your post

Interesting find Joseph. This makes me wonder if the same should app!y to Stromtrooper Commander / Incinerator L3 as well. Theoretically they are of the same model just with a different skin.

Hello and welcome to FISD. It's best of you reach out to your local Garrison first as Glen said. We have a vetted vendor list here you might want to look at the pinned post on the getting started section first. Price varies depends on how you want your set (DIY or fully finished). Please take some time and go through them and you will have a better idea on whom to approach. Good luck.

FieldMarshal has an excellent metal replica kit, he is on Facebook and eBay but you are looking at $400 - $500. For $200 - $300 you can get a nice HD rubber or 3D printed finished one. One of the most common in our circle is a DIY resin kit from Doopydoos, you can find some very informative threads on how to build in this section too.

Hello Sebastian, Welcome to FISD. You might want to take more we have a trading section on the forum, keep watching and you might find what you are looking for there. Good luck.

Kind of common with 3D printed stuff if the filling is set too low. I have built several 3D printed blasters and they all require a lot of surface treatment, sanding, more filling, more sanding and so on... (with one exception which is from a photo-hardening resin printer). You might want to consider insert something into the barrel, PVC pipe or metal tube to help line up and reinforce the body, otherwise it will crack always at the join when subject to stress (handling / trooping). I rebuilt mine like 2 to 3 times.

Greetings trooper, Welcome to FISD!
