[Hello from Missouri]

Welcome to FISD

[QuestDesignCanada]

I have one as well.  It's quite nice.  Solid resin though so don't drop it!

[TK-19165 Requesting EIB status. ANH TK Stunt [789]]

Looking amazing!!

[TK92527 requesting ANH Stunt EIB Status [TM] [771]]

You look great, only two things I noticed:

 

Your forearms could stand to be a little lower on your arms to even out the gap on your wrist.

I think your squishy handplates will have to be glued directly to the gloves for EIB; but definitely for centurion.

 

Great job!

[Hey Guys !!!]

Welcome aboard!  What kit did you get?

 

Build it to Elite Infantry-- or better yet, Centurion!  It's worth the extra effort

[Anovos?]

I'd strongly suggest against anovos; their shipping times are long at best, indefinite at worst.  There's plenty of other great vendors (some even more accurate with kits) that deliver for similar prices.

[ESB Stormtrooper Feedback]

Hey all,

 

Just received basic approval on my ESB variant TK.  I'd love some feedback in how I could improve it before I submit my EIB.

 

One thing I noticed when wearing it was the gloves (rubber with clamshell) "tilted" forward if I made a fist or the glove slid forward.  I might try and solve it with some velcro on the backside on the gloves, but does anyone have a better suggestion on correcting that?  I may just stitch some for trooping.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[ESB TK Armor Advice]

Only differences are the belt, the gloves, and the helmet details.

 

My ANH stunt is from AP.  I bought a spare belt face from him, another belt to mount it to, a looped holster from a friend, some glove clamshells from TrooperMaster, and a second helmet from AP to paint black/user trooperbay decals on, then hotswap between them as desired

 

Take a look at the vetted armor vendors thread in Getting Started section.  Anyone that makes ANH armor should work fine

[Anovos vs Others]

Sorry to hear about your troubles   I know a lot of people in my garrison disappointed with the wait times.

Love it!  Welcome to FISD

[Hello From Pennsylvania!]

Welcome to FISD!  Brad covered most of the great info!  =)

[Hello from Tulsa!]

Welcome to FISD!  AM2 is a great kit.

 

Check out the Elite Infantry section for cool ways to take your armor to the next level, and as always there's tons of people always willing to help here

[Hello from Denmark]

TM is a marvelous kit!  Can't wait to see it!

 

Be sure to submit for Elite Infantry!  Just a few changes from basic and you get a sweet badge on the forum and better movie accuracy

I'd like to openly invite all recruits and active members to an armor party. We'll be building props, exchanging ideas, and helping each other.

 

Dream of being a stormtrooper but find building a helmet overwhelming?

Got a kit and don't know where to start?

Need some advice on how to fix a blemish or break?

Just want to hang out and meet new members?

 

Come on down and join in on the fun

 

All costumes welcome, not just stormtroopers!

 

Special thanks to Jonathan Roath for offering our use of his venue for this.

[Hi...ID-10956 from the ECG reporting in from NY]

Welcome aboard!  Check out the Vetted Armor Makers guide in the Getting Started section, as well as some of the resource lists there--it's a fantastic starting point!

 

Shoot for Elite Infantry / Centurion, it's well worth the extra effort

[Hi TK10794 from the UK garrison.]

Welcome!  Check out the link that Chris posted on the advanced tactics forum, and feel free to ask any questions.  FISD has a great community of people always ready to help

[This forum is great.]

Welcome to FISD :).

Good luck and welcome!  There's a group personal fitness thread on here somewhere I've seen; a lot of folks using the armor as motivation

[Hello from Richmond, VA]

Welcome to FISD!

[Newbie]

I'd definitely ask the UKG as well if you haven't already!  Welcome aboard

[Hi... long time listener, first time caller.]

Welcome aboard!  There's a plethora of great sellers, so definitely check out the vetted sellers list!  I know how long it can take to get the funds to finally jump in, but it's soooo worth it when that brown box finally arrives

[ANH Stunt Bucket Painted?]

it doesn't need to be painted, just needs to be white ABS.

It can be painted though, and would need to be if it was HIPS or HDPE.

[SE-14R Blaster]

I use my SE-14r with everything.  Such a neat looking blaster!
