    When you’re in Imgur, check the option to “generate links”. For each image you’ve selected, you should then see around 5 link options. Look for the one for message boards and forums. Copy and paste and that link should show automatically in your thread. :-)

    Thanks but I got it figured out. really appreciate you taking the time to help me out though!

    Frank start with hand guards to get used to trimming armour with lexan scissors if that's what you will be using to cut the armour sections. Then probably look at arms and go from there. If in doubt ask for help. No question is a stupid question believe me it's more than likely been asked many times before emoji6.png

    HAHA, i guess late help is better than no help? this acutally helped me though. Frank has been finished with his build and is already 501st approved. But i will take the Hand Guard tip and run with it!

    Jaime, It works like a champ.  I went with a throat mic personally but a few of our other members have it wirelessly mounted to their bucket.

    Where did you get the throat mic and how are you liking it. This is something I was thinking of doing. I haven't gotten my bucket yet but I want to be ready to go when they come in (im doing an animated Clone Commander (Phase 1) and a TK) and what as much room inside the helmet as I can get. Throat mic seems like a good idea but im having trouble finding one that will work

     

  4. I have been in constant communications with them. Last I heard though they were in a current run that was about 4 weeks out. So im assuming within the next month those that were able to get orders in will start being notified about it. I was placed on the "backorder" list, but was assured they should have a kit ready for me in this production. Also in the middle of a CC build so everything runs together hahaha

    2 builds at the same time, I’d go into overload, I’m currently looking into a second but it probably won’t be soon. First troop is 4/7. Wife will be away next week so I took off so I’m certain I’ll be home for the kids when school lets out. I’m planning on putting it all on one day and fiddling with it, want to add some foam and walk around for an hour with it. Very excited to troop in it and to top it off a coworker will be at the 5k and he has no idea about any of this so it’ll be fun to mess with him.

    haha that is too good. I cant same the same as i have all my stuff ordered and sent to me at work. we have a mail room on campus so its safer, no threat of things being stolen off my porch. And of course people get curious so they start asking what everything is.

    Hey Jordan and great to have you here and if this is your build thread I suggest you post it here in ANH build threads and, like Dan said, we will help you get that Centurion award:salute:

    Is there a way to "move" this thread to the proper place?

     

    I hate having a post in the wrong spot lol, this was just the first place that struck me as "right"

    :( :( :( WHAT?!  NOOO!!  That is terrible news!  Thank you for sharing, however this is useful information.  This is going to leave a huge hole in the boot market, which is very unfortunate.  

    And here is the even bigger issue, TK Boots shuts down that will open the door for these Cheap boot makers to jack up their prices, without the competition of something better for my money, we wont really have a choice. I have been begging them to stay, they have a big Facebook page following, and im hoping to get their armor very soon, but its just hear breaking that people have gotten so cheap. I understand this is an extremely expensive hobby, but its just tough to see a company that, in my experience, has been hands down one of the greatest Customer service type companies to deal with. They keep constant contact and really appreciate our business. but at the end of the day, if people aren't buying, the demand isn't there and we are asking them to take food off their own table.

    Aw, thank you. I’m glad the video was helpful. :-)

    It sounds like you have a really clear aim - hopefully your armor arrives soon and you can get things moving. Any questions along the way, just shout out and we’ll do what we can to get you to that Centurion status. :)

    Love hearing that from everyone in the group. seems the best part (and often the hardest) is everyone has their own way of doing everything, so it allows me to take several different approaches to an issue and work out what may be best for me. but at the other end it can feel like the flag on a rope in a game of tug-o-war. pulled back and forth with no clear direction. Havent had too much issue as of yet, but im sure once that BBB gets here, ill be typing like crazy lol. Luckily I have already made contact with my local Garrison and they have already been a huge help!

    By being here on FISD and being aware of EIB and Centurion, you’re already on the right path. :duim:

     

    Research is key really. If you have a look through some of the approved EIB, then Centurion applications (those with a number eg [123] after the thread title) you will see some of the finer details that are required for Centurion, and how people go about achieving them. Things such as even gaps between certain armour parts, correct drop box placement, correct fixings used etc.  

     

    Best wishes,

    Dan :)

     

    Great thank you so much, I have been watching the post about the "pre 501st approval" here in the threads and they have really helped with the "finer details". Things I might not have paid attention to before, I am not able to point out on others armor (in my head, its not my place to correct someone yet).  I Love Star Wars so much I just want to do the franchise justice with my build. I will continue to search and thank you for the help. Just watched your build video and it looks amazing! didn't even think about using tape on the helmet for the black strips in the tears. gonna have to use that one to keep my black lines more even.
