Welcome to the FISD, like so many others I was hooked since seeing ANH in the theater and after learning all about what the 501st does how could I not want to be apart of theis.
If you have questions along the way make sure to start a build thread so we can help the best way possible.

Way to get right on it! Benvenuto Silvio!

Welcome Karrigan to the FISD
If you haven done so I would start by reading this section here!
You’ll find just about everything you think of when it comes to getting started and your armor needs! Speaking of armor needs our fellow Trooper and Deployment Office justjoseph63 has put together a great and very useful checklist of what you’ll need other then that amazing white shiny stuff. I found that personally it came in extremely helpful for my build.
Once that has been all decided upon then I would dive into our EIB / Centurion sections and find out which a little extra effort you can get on screen accuracy.
Hope that helps point you in the right direction, I know its a ton of information and a good size financial commitment so if any other questions come up feel free to ask.
Its why we’re here “ Troopers helping Troopers”
Best of luck in your journey.

Thanks!! Fort Lauderdale area (Davie). Did my first troop in Boca Raton last week for a marriage proposal right after our Everglades Squad Armor Party. That's me to the left of "the groom to be" who was dressed (some what) like Darth Vader. She said YES by the way. Awesome first troop. Looking forward to many more!
Nice!! I’ll see you at Supercon if your trooping!

Welcome Martin!

No worries Martin,
Like most have said you need to trim your biceps a bit.
No worries about trimming or cutting your armor we've all had that exact anxiety but a couple deep breaths and some measuring and you'll be fine. Trust us we become the largest detachment for a reason.
On your Biceps the two raised piece that butt up against each other should measure 5/8 of an in or just shy of 16mm if my conversion is correct.
Look at the amount I have to trim on the bicep here
See how much I measured out to trim off here. Everything on the left gets trimmed off!
This is whats left after trimming!
Any other questions don't hesitate to ask, honestly its why we're here!

Holy smokes you're busting that kit out lol
Thats because I follow your threads like an assembly manual lol!
Also forgot to tell you I changed the mic out on my IComm system and that seems to have been the culprit!.

I decided to work from the top down on this build so it was shoulders, biceps and forearms along with the chest & ab plate.
Shoulders are pretty straight forward as all the makers seem to have a cut line well defined.
Just cut a clean line and your on to biceps.
Use the same score and snap method to trim them out.
I like to run 220 grit over all the edges to get rid of any bite points or any place that’ll snag your under-suit.
Measuring for the bicep cover strips. The outside strip will be 5/8” wide and I’ll adjust the strip on the inside if needed so your own arm will help conceal the difference.
I also use a strip on the inside as well! Thanks to Ukswrath for this idea.
On a side note for the newer members going through a build if you haven’t read through Tony’s builds like they’re the gospels what are you waiting for?????
He is an absolute architect when it comes to building these kits that’s for sure!
Bicep is done. Just repeat the steps on the other side. You’ll also notice I had my under armor shirt on while fitting up, you’ll be absolutely shocked on how much of a difference it’ll make.
Same process goes for the fore arms.
Covers trips on both inside and out . The only difference is I use the flashing material for the inside strip and the thicker material for the strip that’ll show.
Trimmed out the chest plate then abs and attached the button plates and also made sure I spent some extra time sanding the edges. But for the most part it was the same score and snap method.
You can see how much of a good job this de-burring tool does. Really makes easy work of it!
That wraps up the front upper torso on this. I also have the back rough trimmed so it should go quick!
Until next time!
