Welcome to the FISD forum Grant! You will find lots of great information here and this is where you will find a great amount of support when putting your TK kit together. Please post any questions you have!

Hi Noah, For attaching the thighs, I use a very old, worn-out leather belt with suspenders. It was intended to be temporary when I put my TK kit together back in 2016, but it works and I never got around to getting a nicer one. The picture of Glen's nice belt reminds me that I should get a new one! The recommendations you refer to for white canvas belts might be for the visible belt on the exterior?

Congratulations Chris! And thank you to you and your command staff team for all that you do for the FISD!

Hi Belinda, Good to see that you are here on the FISD forum. I will be bringing my TK to the troop this weekend so I can show you how I put mine together. Chris

Hi Jeremy, Looking good! Let me know if I can help with anything as I have rivets for the holster. I also have the white elastic you can use to keep the shoulder straps down at the back. Chris

For guides to read, the one from Tony/ukswrath that TheRascalKing linked to in his post is great. I used it when I put my Anovos kit together. Downloaded the pdf copy to my phone which made it easy to refer to and read when I had spare time. Regarding the Denuo Novo and Anovos kits, I like the clean look with no warts. Enjoy your build, it looks like you have a good start with the research you have done already.

Welcome to the FISD Noah! Good to see that you are on here. Chris

Thank you

Much appreciated if we can fix my pending status: Detachment Affiliation(s): First Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment (Pending)

Thank you Tony. I have already been working on getting the alignment of the ab and kidney pieces better but I will also take care of the paint over spray and look for those proper screws for the helmet. The thighs have actually not been an issue for comfort. I completed a 48-story stair climb fundraiser in the armour last month with no problems with the leg pieces at all. I do have a bit of foam in there which seems to be working out well. And thank you everyone else for your comments and suggestions as well. Chris

Here is a new picture of the rivets at the ab and kidney connection after painting them again last night: I also noticed that my close up photo on the helmet was not very clear so here is a new photo so you can actually see that I replaced the Anovos mesh in the hovi-mic tips with a coarser mesh (this change was done after the full body photos were taken):

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. The paint on those rivets at the ab and kidney connection has been difficult to keep on there. I have started to use old t-shirts to wrap up the ab and kidney pieces when I put them in my bin - hopefully that will help protect from scratching and keep the paint on there a bit longer.

Here is my EIB application for your consideration.
