Not sure if anyone is interested but I think this would probably be a dream job for a lot of people in this forum. https://chipandco.com/disney-is-holding-auditions-for-star-wars-stormtroopers-353484/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Trooper Poll: Calf Enclosure
Frank75139 replied to springaling's topic in Assembly, Mods, and Painting
I use a good quality velcro, I tried the bra hooks but couldn’t get them closed. Think my calves were cut too close together. Occasionally if I move my foot a weird way the velcro might pop, but again I think that’s due to the fit cause it’s only the one leg. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

WALKING IN BOOTS / BOOT CARE
Frank75139 replied to TK71169's topic in Boots, Soft Parts, and other Accessories
Great to hear your almost there. As for the boots, I’d imagine like any boot it might take some time. Mine fit perfectly and I actually find them comfortable so I haven’t had any issues. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
If there’s ever a question ask away. Someone is usually quick to jump on it. That’s what makes FISD the best detachment ever (says me) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Groupon Chelsea Boots
Frank75139 replied to tsongololo's topic in Boots, Soft Parts, and other Accessories
Hmmm they meet the CRL requirements. U shaped elastic by the ankles, ankle high, flat sole, short heel I’m not sure if your GML will hold up approval for that little seam under the elastic, there is nothing in the CRL that says it can’t be there but in the pic it’s not there so there’s arguments on both sides. With the coupon and for the price, it might be worth trying to paint them. Even if you get a year or two out of them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Ab Plate Boxes. No seams, flush, or how close?
Frank75139 replied to PanzerKraken's topic in TFA Stormtrooper
Ok there we go. My fault didn’t see it was in the TFA section. CRL states it should be flush against the armor so I’m assuming it’s up to the builder. I’ve never built one so maybe we can figure out who has and go from there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Artshot's ANH Stunt Build (AM 2.0)
Frank75139 replied to Artshot's topic in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance
I read it too and everything looks amazing. Oh wait there were no pics, sounds amazing? As for the shoulder bells. They are supposed to be as close to the bridges as possible. It looks right. People secure them in many different ways. Mine are glued to nylon straps and glued to the bridges. They aren’t removable. Some people use snaps so they are removable. It’s personal preference. As for the gap between the chest. That all depends on your armor and your body. If your broad chested you’ll push the chest out further which will make a gap or if your armor is general size and your bigger you’ll get the same look. There is a notch down the center of the bell I’d use that and just secure that to the center of the bridge. Hopefully some of all that makes sense. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
If his cuts are like mine polish doesn’t help. It’s actual cuts in the finish. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tote for TK. Opinions?
Frank75139 replied to TK71169's topic in Boots, Soft Parts, and other Accessories
Didn’t think it would all fit in a suitcase Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
I know what your talking about same things happened to my boots. Made me wanna cry damnit! Pay a bunch of money and then they run the boot and not wear and tear like messing the boot up itself. I made a strap around the boot and it Velcros together that helps prevent it, I also made sure the edges were sanded well. Next I’m gonna put some felt on the inside of the shins to help with rubbing against the boot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

40 gallon should work. I have a 50 gallon and used white fleece fabric on the inside. I think the fleece is nice and it doesn’t take up a bunch of room like padding would. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

No good ever come from purchasing armor from eBay. That’s a big NOTHING. Red flags are the pictures aren’t that good which means he’s hiding something. It’s fiberglass which is a pain to work with and you can’t easily fit it to your body after it’s already put together. It’s $250 when most armor is closer to the $700 range and above. Have a look at the vetted vendors section and start there. If it’s too good to be true it is. Hopefully your not the one that bought it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
