Hey Cameron and welcome to FISD But 8-12 weeks for a kit? They usually ship kits within days and a commission is said to take about 6 weeks...are you sure it wasn´t 8-12 days Anyhooo...great choice going with RS and as far as accuracy goes they have an original suit they copied so can´t go wrong there Building an RS suit is "easier" than most think, the original sculptors really nailed it and it comes together beautifully, I did not say symetrically Doing your research is an important step in becoming a Stormtrooper so be sure to browse the build section and look for the [RS] prefix and you will find great reference for when your kit arrives. Just some TK-Beauty to get the momentum going

TK-51351 requesting ANH Stunt Centurion status [AM] (434)
TheSwede replied to A.J. Hamler's topic in Request Centurion Status
Hi A.J. Great job fixing the shoulders and back plate Just have a quick question, did you repaint the frown after your EIB? Could just be reflections though -
Noooooo it looks fierce!

The handle part was missing (coming later) so I finished what I could. The shield itself is not totally accurate but it’s still a cool add-on

I find the hooks really easy to handle, always puts them on/take them off on my own -
TK-48117 requesting ANH Stunt EIB status [RWA] [913]
TheSwede replied to TKSpartan's topic in Request Expert Infantry Status
Congratulations Trooper -
Got some Riot gear and some spare parts (spats) The webbing, elastic and grips are for the shield. I broke a clip greeblie on this Troop and had to go spat-less I did manage to get the rest of the clip off (not one for using E600) and replaced it but never felt content with closing the spat by that small clip and velcro, didnt feel like doing the snap variant. Then Anovos came out with their instructions I jumped on the idea and ordered new spats from KB and a spur of the moment skull trooper helmet and the sheild and consequently had to get the baton Much more secure and less likely to brake. As a bonus the spats came from a new mold and had a much better fit then the previous ones, JSIN also confirmed they had new shins so I guess the KB kit is getting more and more accurate.

Nice work For future reference it’s easier to aligne the sniper knee without any lower return edge

TK-17144 Requesting ANH Hero EIB Status [TM] (973)
TheSwede replied to Laura's topic in Request Expert Infantry Status
Hi Laura and thank you for applying for Expert Infantry. You´re looking great Trooper but we do need additional photos and they are: # Thigh ammo pack - inside fixings. # Sniper knee - straight on front pic. # Mic tips - straight on front pic. # Helmet left side - straight on pic. # Helmet back - straight on pic. # Lens color - backlit # Abdomen detail - without belt. # Left and right side detail - arms raised. # Interior strapping. # Neck seal. # You will also need a blaster - left/right/ D-ring # Action shot with blaster. You also appear to have a slightly larger gap then the allowed 1/2" (12.5mm) on the left side between the ab and kidney and it gradualy gets bigger towards the belt. However you seem to have an overlap on the right so is should just be a matter of adjusting the strapping and take a new pic. You got this Trooper -
Woah!! That’s one sweet ride You should paint it white though

Hey Rob As of now I would go with KB props and you find them on FB

I need the Blaster E-11 and the boots.
TheSwede replied to TK Pablo's topic in Hard Armor (General Discussion)
Hey Pablo There are different options out there but Imperial Warfighters (FB) is a good option and for the boots I would go with imperialboots.com. You can also check the weapons locker section for more options on the E-11 https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/132-weapons-locker/ -
They are Local crafts store, ebay, amazon to name a few. The more the merrierKidding aside, a good base would be around 50 of 20x3mm.

Skull-Trooper helmet [JSIN Props]
TheSwede replied to TheSwede's topic in Other Non-Approved Star Wars Costumes
Well...changed my mind. The Skull feels more ”at home” with Sandtrooper armor. The Tatooine sun has taken it’s toll so to speak so weathered it -
Fixed - see if you like it

Got a new Tooper helmet, should be a fun project. Not sure if I´m going to paint it as a TK or something else.
