    Hi Josh and welcome to the white zone! :D

     

    Great to hear it's not your first costume in the legion, that means you know what you're up to!

     

    As Glen already mentioned, you can request to have your account be upgraded to 501st status. This will open up some new subforums for you.

     

    If there's anything you need to know, do not hesitate to ask!

     

    Steve aka @Snaps and Jeff aka @StrmTRPR85 are the lokal FISD Attachés for the Ohio Garrison.

     

    Best wishes,

     

     

    Danny

    Hi Danny,

     

    Admittedly I have transferred out of Ohio Garrison to Starkiller but I am still in the Columbus area and always happy to provide any assistance as necessary with your build Josh!

     

    Danny might need to update the attache list :). I should have met you know earlier

    God this looks so impossible to me.

    You got this! Your already doing the right thing.  Take lots of pictures and reach out for answers.  Everyone on there first build had some type of issue.  Heck I had forearms that didn't look like two even halves, messed my shins up trying to use a heat gun to form them and let alone shin gate and a bell gate lol 

     

    Measure 3 times cut once.  Cut less than you need, try it on and if you need to do a small amount more than let's do some more

  3. As always I do try to help out with your build when I see your posts on our Ohio Academy Facebook page.  Due to how facebook algorithms work I sometimes don't see every post.  You are more than welcome to message me anytime and I am happy to help out virtually the best I can.  I had a lot of help virtually for my build all from the fine people here in our detachment as well as in our garrison as well as a few other facebook groups.

     

     

    For your calves, your muscles will flex as you walk so even if you are standing still you are only get a small piece of the picture with fitting them.  Your cover strips will hide any imperfect cuts on the back.  Just remember the back of the shins open up and close around your leg.  Did you settle on how you want these to strap? Velcro, elastic with hooks?  That may help you decided how much room to give yourself on your cuts.

  4. its been a minute since I have been able to work on this, with moving homes recently and unpacking and getting a proper workshop back up.  Glad to announce finally got the chest pieces figured out and have begun printing

    I did have to cut the parts to fit the build surface of the printer but this will save time on the print as well as printer material.

  5. There are lots of options with the brow trim and how far it goes on the trap

     

     

     

    Just think of it this way, you put your own little touch to your armor!

     

    The OT TKs were asymmetrical.  So a bit of wonkiness is expected.  (embrace the wonky!)  I think your faceplate tubes could be a bit better aligned with the dome tubes.   The ears will help cover anything that looks odd, but the fit will be better if you can bring them in line more.

    I am 'really excited' to see the discussion over which detachment will home these guys. Design cues from Clones to Praetorians to Phasma..an FN base, perhaps in universe they are an elite force that would put them on Spec Ops radar. Lets hope we also see them ride speeder bikes and drive Walkers!

    and use the force, fly fighters and stand on a bridge ;)

  7. The fun part of the print so far has been the chest.  The file came with the back yoke and the chest all in one piece

    No easy way someone could probably put that on without causing something to break or let alone get stuck.

     

    To fix this I downloaded meshmixer (free software) and proceeded to remove the portions that are not needed.

    I still have to smooth out a few portions where the "cuts" where made.  Digital cuts are so much easier that real cuts :) It was a great crash course in learning how to use Meshmixer.

     

    Quick question does anyones FOTK kits have those green tabs/indents on the left and right side near the back?  I'm thinking of filling these in for when I make the files 501st approvable.
