Hi Stuart and welcome to FISD
Just echoing Glens post about contacting you Garrison and more importantly your GML (Garrison membership Liaison) as they are the ones approving your membership or Basic level, then you can request TK-status and subsequently EIB (Expert Infantry) and Centurion here on FISD.
If you already are approved, request your TK-status here:https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/186-501st-and-detachment-access-requests/

I was looking into getting a screen accurate kit from RS, but living in USA makes that expensive. What's my best option where I live, or is it worth the money? (Do they run sales besides their Black Friday one?) Thanks!
If screen accuracy is your thing then RS and TM like Glen said is by far the best options. RS has the extra advantage of beeing cast from a screen used suit, not all the parts though but the majority of the suit is. TM is by far the best fan sculp out there and has continued to tweek his molds. Shipping is always a killer unless you are fortunate to live in the country of goods wanted. I belive black friday is usually the one time RS has a sale but I could be mistaken. TM as a 25% off from his regular price and that has lasted the entire year, not sure if he plan to extend that to next year but you could always reach out to him and ask.
Best of luck
Oh! and it´s totally worth the money

Stay safe everyone

Looking forward seeing your kit as I’m curious to see how it compares to other FOTK makers
For gaskets I would say geekypinks for the cloth version
and imperialgaskets (FB) for the rubber ones. -

ive noticed people put a patch of velcro on upper tongue of boots.is this to keep the shin guards from falling down to much?
It’s to keep them from twisting with coresponding velcro on the shin. If you get the fit right, thight around the boot and fairly snug on your calf you won’t need it

Absolutely do not boil it!!! It’s pushed outwards due to the extra material. That is why it looks to be twisted, the ear itself is not actually twisted.

Is it too wonky for basic approval or is it fine?
That depends on your GML. I’m a GML and I would allow it with a suggestion to remove some material. As Glen mentioned it’s a bit twisted due to the material pushing outward. Please excuse the wonky illustration but it will give you an idea on how to adjust

Ok.. 5’6” ... Sounds like ANVOS isn’t an option even without the vertical challenge. I sent an e-mail to authenticprops@hotmail.com and no response. Who’s the latest good supplier for a custom 5’6” out of the box fully polished ANH ready for Trooping supplier on this side of the pond (USA or Canada?)
I would stay on target with AP, he’s a member on these boards so I will give him a nudge for you

Here’s a pic to show it more clearly. Original to the left.

You can also see on the picture Glen provided (same bell) that there is indeed some return left at the bottom. So I did what you did and left some, it’s the most accurate
but, perhaps trim a tad more of the ”centerpart”, you can compare to the original.

The screws are in, although they protrude slightly. Should the holes be drilled slightly larger than they currently are to allow it to be flush?
Use a large drill and gently turn it by hand to countersunk the screws

If you mean the part next to the thigh it should be in the kit from KB.

I went to Hasbro Pulse almost immediately after receiving the email announcement for preorder. I added the Boba Fett to my cart and by the time I completed my checkout, it was listed as out of stock.
Still available here

The elastic in the shins in my RS do not have really have a function. The shins closes like a clamshell around my lower legs but it's screen acurate and a must for higher levels of aproval here on FISD.
Just a heads up - the use of elastic and hooks for closure of the shins is only an accuracy thing and not required for any level of approval.

Welcome to the Legion and FISD

Some more reference for you, notice how the originals were trimmed with a curve rather than a straight cut on the sides, helps close the gap to the chest/back. original to the left
Just som Trooper-glory to keep you going

Thanks all for the help, yeah I’ve shared this information with the owner so they can know where to go from there. They likely bought a set of decals and didn’t realize there were tons of differences worth noting.
If going for Centurion the lower ear screw is also incorrect, should be a V-head
- Ear screws shall be slotted, flat topped, countersunk and painted white.

The teeth aren't painted yet, so painting them black makes it a ESB helmet!
Teeth are painted if you look closely.
