I hear ya. I'm a Network Engineer and had no clue what I was doing, but I got with my local Garrison members and they helped me figure it out. It was a lot of fun learning how to build the kit myself, and it also gave me the skills to repair it if something breaks. I don't think the Black Series helmets are approvalable with out some work, but I'll leave that to some of the crew with more experience with FO TKs, I highly suggest meeting with some local folks and seeing if they can help you build. There are sever great vendors for armor list her on the forums. I'd check out these to links for help. 1. I want to be a Stormtrooper. Where do I begin? https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/38-getting-started-read-this-first/ 2. Where do I buy armor? https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/11538-the-various-types-of-armor-and-where-to-find-them/

Welcome to the Detachment. Looking forward to seeing your build thread. You are in good hand with the crew from Redback, and all of us on the forum stand ready to assist were we can.

use imagur or another file sharing tool (Microsoft onedrive is what I use) to post a link to your image instead of the image.

Glen beat me to it. Help my brother out! LOL

Thanks Glen. I really dig the one one the left. That shield with the 15 in it is cool. They would look really cool on a 15th Anniv Racing shirt.... (hint, hint)...

where can we get those 15th anniversary logos? that's what I want to know! Happy Birthday FISD, thank you for letting me be part the a wonderful detachment.

Congrats Justin!

Great Job Eric! Now what is the limit so I can plan to order now.

Teresa is amazing. Geeky Pink's Phantastic Gaskets

BBB is always and exciting day. It will be even more exciting for you as you don't have to build still! I can't wait to see your kit and your approval! Welcome to the FISD!

Welcome Alejandro! We are looking forward to having you join the ranks. BBB day is so exciting. Be sure to ask a lot of questions both before you buy your armor and while you building. That is what we are here for!

Welcome to the FISD! BBB Day is amazing! And for a commissioned kit, I but it will be even more exciting. Good luck! Can't wait to see you get approved!

Based on this I'm going to guess it would be one of these three. Upstate NY - GARRISON EXCELSIOR - http://www.garrisonexcelsior.com/ NYC - Empire City Garrison - https://501ecg.com/ NYJ - Northeast Remnant - https://www.501stner.com/

Cory, I'll echo what the others have said. Check out the build thread of others to get some ideas. There are also some great video on youtube of members building their kits or kits for others. I watched this series a few time when I built mine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onQkQVB3JVw&t=1s Also, don't be afraid to reach out to your Garrison. Most of them have and "armorer" that would more than likely be happy to assist you. I know with COVID armor parties are bit more difficult, but If done with some proper social distancing and mask, you might be able to get a one on one. I know you said you were in the EST, but where are you located geographically? I've built two kits, so I'm not expert, but I'm happy to help as best I can.

So said, both the links in this thread are broken for the SE-14R. I was hoping to print this one as well. How did it turn out?

Welcome Tim! Great idea to do the research. It can be a big investment. You want to make sure you get quality armor and do it right the first time. ;-) Can't wait to see your build thread!

Amazing job Colin! Congrats on all your approvals!

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
