Congrats Mark!

Congrats Trooper!

I've trooped with you in several of your kits, including your first order TK. Can't wait to troop with you in the OT TK. Congrats Angela!

Congrats Steven! I've got an ATA ANH Stunt as well and I love it. Good luck with your build!

As a new member (less than a year) This is exciting. I just started collecting coins and I'd love to be able to get a few more.

If you check your invoice it should tell you. I was told between 6 and 10 weeks for my Tie Pilot. Otherwise, if you check out the WTF facebook group, you can ask, and one of the guys should be able to help you. https://www.facebook.com/groups/waltstrooperfactory

If you check your receipt, it list a DCPI number (Target's product identifier), any chance you might have that? I'd love to see if I could identify it and buy online at Target.com

Welcome to the FISD! Can't wait to see your build thread and see this armor spring to life! Good Luck with your build.

I also think Walt's Trooper factory does one as well.

Is this the helmet? I think Jason Hill at Imperial Supply makes it.

Welcome to the FISD! Can't wait to see your build thread. I love my ANH ATA kit, it will be cool to see an ESB build.

Colin, I posted it on your FB share, and I'll say it hear as well. This is amazing. I'm truly in awe of your creativity. I hope to try and mimic something like this. Thank you for sharing!

Welcome to FISD Victor! I still think Shiny White Armor is the way to go, but a nice Black TX is good formal ware. Good luck with your build and your brothers, let us know if we can help! Can't wait to have you join us.

Welcome to FISD and to Garrison Tyranus! I'm just down in RVA, so not too far away if you need help. As Jason said, there is plenty of help to be had here and in the Garrison! Good luck with your build and I hope to get a chance to troop with you soon!

Welcome, and I'll echo what several of the others have said, take your time, do some research (as you are doing now), and use the approved vendor list as the majority of those are vetted and have positive feedback from members of the FISD. I will say to make sure when talking to the vendors, you get an idea of the size of the armor. I went with one that has a good reputation and the armor is solid (ATA Works), but I didn't know the armor was meant for someone under 6' and less than 200 lbs. At 6'2" and 250lbs, my armor looks a bit small on me.

I hear that, and I'm happy to hear "for now" and "already planning" [emoji106] Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Are you bailing on a build, or just pausing? I'd hate to see you not join us!

As 2020 is winding up, I just wanted to add my Three "unofficial" troops, just so I have them noted. I got my TK approved Feb. 15, 2020. The following Saturday, my wife and I did a dry at a small local con at a local high school to help their drama department. It was just amazing the smiles I got, and how much everyone loved to see my stormtrooper there. Then my son and I did 2 "unofficial" troop for a Sci-fi marathon at a family owned Drive-in Theater. We did it 2 of the 4 night they ran the movies, and it was amazing. So even with COVID-19 ruining 2020, I still got 10 TK troops in (even if unofficially). The Garrison did get to "film" the Christmas Parade this year. We did it Halloween morning, and the aired it last week, but my TK is currently under going some repair, so I had to wear my TI Reserve.

Thank you!

You guys are amazing, now I just need to figure out how to tie "Do you know what is going on" and "maybe it is a another drill" together. LOL

It is an interesting watch. As a new builder, I can tell you the horror of using the heat gun. I destroyed several pieces of ABS trying to learn how to use it. As with most building tools, experience is key. Test and practice on scrap. I found the hot water bath method works in most cases with the ABS.

Your build is looking amazing. Keep it up.

Looks great. I currently have an ATA kit and I'm thinking about making it a TD and getting and AM kit. Keep up the good work, I'm enjoying watching it come together.

Good luck, can't wait to see how the process goes! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
