    FISD Memes

    To my delight last night, I discovered ATLA was on Paramount+! Memes were inspired.
  2. Check out this scene. The Nightsisters (great mothers?) dresses blow in the wind in a very silk/chiffon way. The material seems very flowing and ephemeral, just like the material J found. Another mark in the plus column for this material! I'm gonna order some.

    (admittedly this is a bit of a reach, but I really wanted that VT16 reference )
  4. beautiful!!! Thanks for the update.
  5. Please unlock the artillery trooper also as yellow guy really needs this update as well.
  6. Yeah, the way the silk material bunches and frays looks like an exact match to the screen used material. That's really really nice looking. The trooper material is SUPPOSEDLY the same stuff that the nightsister gowns are made with. Is it the same stuff in real life? No answer has come forth yet, but silk/chiffon seems plausible for the screen used gowns as well.
  7. Here's the current R1 CRL text for the belt. Basic approval has the belt VERY wide open to modification with the current wording. The teeth aren't required till L2 and the 3-6mm edge isn't required till L3. Belt The Ammunition belt consists of a hard belt made of the same or similar material as the armor in two separate parts front and back (with overlap). The back belt overlaps the front belt on the sides. There are 6 ammunition boxes mounted to the belt. There are 2 (one left and one right) drop boxes suspended by black webbing approximately 2" (50mm) wide. Drop boxes must be accurate in detail and proportion to official references. The ammunition belt is accurate in detail and proportion to official references. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): The only detail visible on the front belt is the mounted ammunition boxes unlike the squares present on ANH belts. The top edge of the front belt has protruding teeth that nest inside gaps between the ribs and detail panels of the abdominal armor. The two center ammunition boxes are thinner than the other mounted ammunition boxes. The second and fifth mounted ammunition boxes are slightly wider than the two center ammunition boxes. The two outermost ammunition boxes are almost square. The two drop boxes are rectangular and as wide as the mounted square boxes. OPTIONAL Level three certification (if applicable): The ammo boxes across the front are all made separately from the main belt and are secured to it The two drop boxes hang no more than 1" 25mm below the front belt and the black strap is visible. The second and fifth mounted ammunition boxes have trapezoid detail on the top of each ammunition box. The front belt protrudes past all mounted ammunition boxes above and below by approximately ā…›"ā€“Ā¼" 3ā€“6mm. All ammunition boxes have slightly beveled edges on the face of each box. My suggested change in bold. I don't think having the belt edge required at L2 is a big ask. Moving that up and then allowing the bottom edge angle cut directly after would make sense.

  8. Huge +1 from me. The cuts are so clean and uniform, I don't think they're to hide damage. Some where made intentionally with this cut. They were likely cut to prevent damage to both the belt and the thighs.
  9. This is genius. I'm gonna have to get one myself. Fantastic troop pix!!
  10. Well this is a cool Christmas gift! I'll also be itching to print one. -edit- https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/military/gun/nambu-type-99-lmg I wonder if the creator of this file could be convinced to upgrade it a bit for print quality? hmmm.
  11. If you're worried about weight, you might check into AP (Authentic Props) armor. It's sized very generously in the midsection. And if you're painting the bucket anyway, no issues with using a different set of armor as you can paint the DA helmet to match. AP is also having a Boxing Day sale right now I believe. Check the sale forum. My own AP armor has almost achieved 100 troops and it's as strong as it was on day 1. I'm blessed to be the actual size of a 70s stunt TK. My AP armor needed a decent bit of midsection trimming to make it fit my small frame. However, it was lovely that it came in a larger size vs many kits that require shimming to fit larger troopers. Much easier to trim some extra plastic than to shim and paste. It's also not difficult to achieve Centurion in AP armor. No affiliation with AP, just a satisfied customer.
  12. Outstanding armor and very impressive subtle modifications to make it fit you! I'll wish you luck with EIB even though I don't think you need it. You got this Barry!
  13. Hmmm. We might need another run...
  14. 12/2/23 - Carrie Tingley Foundation Cookies With Santa 89th TK troop, 44 for 2023. Official event selfie! Four of us attended... ... and TK9-Mabel. She got to troop also. This event was Festival of the Trees in years past, but the organizers did cookies with Santa this year instead. More personal, more time with the kids, and only Santa and the 501st. Most of the garrison was preparing a float for a local Christmas parade, so it was a light turn out for this event. But it was still fantastic. The personal time with the kids was... well, I don't wanna say "great" but it felt like I was doing some actual good. Spreading smiles. Helping. Like I was at my post or something. Mabel spread a ton of smiles too. She was the star of the show. Santa took a break from his big chair and hung out with us Bad Guys for a while. He suggested we MIGHT be on the good list this year. We didn't stay on the good list very long unfortunately. Mabel and I couldn't resist. After 2 hours, she was pretty tired and ready to stop trooping. We all agreed with the tiny dog that our tanks were empty. This is her post-troop happy face. On a somber note, we discovered that Mabel has cancer in her little snoot (the puffy spot on her right side). That's been causing health issues for all her little life. She's only 2 years old. It may be a treatable kind and we have a vet oncology visit this upcoming week. Until then, I'm trying to make each of her days as good as possible, full of treats and trips out.
  15. 11/18/23 - 2nd Annual Toy Drive for Haven House (1 of 8) 87th TK troop, 42 for the year We don't have much in the calendar for November, but there's EIGHT of these toy collection troops for Haven House. It's a fantastic cause. The first troop was extremely rainy. I was soaked after 15 minutes. We called it shortly after I arrived to work the 2nd shift. heh 11/25/23 - 2nd Annual Toy Drive for Haven House (3 of 8) 88th TK troop, 43 for the year This troop was frigid. Almost freezing and we're all standing in the shade the whole time. I brought something warm. Jedi cloak!!! It looked pretty decent and in-universe. I stayed a bit warmer. But man... so cold. The hand warmers I taped to my chest and the ones I shoved in my gloves didn't help a lot. We called this one early too.
  16. 10/28/23 - Boo at the Zoo 86th TK troop, 41 for the year CREB 5435 - 27th troop and 12th for the year BOO AT THE ZOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! I love this troop. Always such a good time. We had lots of TKs, lots of Jawas, lots of rebels, and lots of fun. Mandos don't like spiders. It's a thing. I rode the carousel! I didn't break my butt! We met some REALLY tall people. Really, my daughter and I are standing. ... We trooped for like 5 hours. My daughter and I were the last standing. She went back to change and I realized I didn't get to see the elephants yet. The elephants in the ABQ zoo are in a back corner and they have a huge habitat. It's apparently one of the best in the nation (or possibly THE best one). Lots of happy elephants. Acres and acres to play in, most of which is visible around the huge habitat. There was no one at all present. Just this adorable little lady and her snack box. (I think this is Rosie) She and I hung out for a good 5 minutes all by ourselves. She ate nom-noms out of the treat cage. I took some pix, then removed my bucket and just existed with her. So peaceful. One of my top 3 zoo moments in my life at any zoo.
  17. 10/27/23 - Rice/Laforce Wedding 85th TK troop, 40 for the year, and I wore my HWT! Wedding troop!!! And this one was extremely fun. The bride and groom were Jedi and TK. The groom received his armor just days prior to the ceremony. Master Kai kept her eye on me. Fellow honor guard. And the TKs with the groom. He's VERY tall for a TK but looked great for his first suit up and the ceremony.
  18. Okay, I'm SUUUUPER behind on updates. I'm gonna have to phone some of these in so I can get caught up. 10/26/23 - Make a Wish Spooktacular Trunk-R-Treat 84rd TK troop, 39 for the year CREB 5435 - 26th troop and 11th for the year Mandos are friendly, right? They certainly like TKs, right? TKs aren't good at stealth. Or hot-wiring police cars. Don't ask me how I know. Fortunately Mr Pool helped me out of that tricky spot. And then I helped my daughter get some candy. This WAS a Trick-r-treat event after all and her bucket needed some tribute poured into it.
  19. Wow. That printed armor came out beautifully!!! Well done. Also well done to @ChrisThePropGuy !!!
  20. I might be really tired... but what are the differences you guys are seeing? Not the lack of insert on the Nico render, right? Because that's a small file that you print separately. The overall shape looks quite good to my eyes.
