Troopers often make garters for themselves, but I'm sure some might also purchase prefabbed ones. I bought mine off another member. You would just need to market your product in the ongoing runs section of this forum.

Hi Vic! Great throwback photos! I'll second Adam's suggest of an ANH-S. Additionally, here's a link to a thread listing reputable armor makers that may be of interest to you as you begin your journey to join the 501st. https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/11538-the-various-types-of-armor-and-where-to-find-them-updated-2023/

Welcome Laura @Salazar! Justin has provided you with excellent information above, and I've now also just sent you a personal message. I hope your local garrison is able to help you out!

That being said, I do love me some skeet shooting. Hmmm... I wonder if it's ever been done in TK armor... But back on topic, this is why I'll never wear my armor out in public without an official invite. You never know what a stranger may call the authorities for, even without a blaster.

Exactly what Glen said. My cover strips are angled to follow the contour of the two halves of the leg pieces, much like yours (as well as the screen references for that matter). Thighs by difference armor makers come together differently, and thus there is variance in the angle of the cover strip ends. Also like Glen said, you may consider sanding the corners a bit to avoid poking or snags.

Yes sir! I found it best, when first getting started, to follow in the footsteps of those before me. Joseph's soft parts list in this thread is a great place to start. My white canvas belt came from Kittell (Imperial Issue), holster from Darman and boots from Imperial Boots (now known as Keep Trooping after their name change).

And hello again, Jeffrey for the third time in as many posts. In addition to the ANH build threads link I've already commented, below you'll find a link to a massive resource thread that I compiled on my own journey of building my first stormtrooper armor. I saw that you're most interested in an ANH Stunt, which is the bread and butter of our Detachment, and by far my favorite armor. I look forward to following along on your build and welcoming you into this band of brothers (and sisters)!

Welcome, Jeffrey! You're in the right place to building stormtrooper armor, and I just commented on your post in the forum help section. But for redundancy, especially since forums can be a bit overwhelming for new members, here is a link to all our ANH Stunt builds. https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/80-anh-build-threads/ Be on the lookout, too, for more responses on your New Member Introductions thread post.

Hi Jeffrey - Below you'll find a link to a subforum that catalogs all our ANH Stunt build threads. I'll also be responding on your other posts to provide you with additional resources! https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/80-anh-build-threads/

To echo what Chris said, a big THANK YOU to each and every one of you who donated. I've PMed or emailed most of you confirming receipt of your support, and the remainder of you will receive confirmation from me by tomorrow. For now, the easiest way to confirm your gift was received is to check your profile for the Supporter badge. Forthcoming will be receipts showing how and when the funds are applied to our forum/email expenses.

Welcome, Jason, and congrats on your recent approval! An excellent choice you made with an AM kit from Dave, and I'm right there with you regarding the Tantive IV boarding scene. That introduction of TKs was the start of my love affair with them. Once you receive trooper status here on the forum (processing can take several days) you'll then have access to more areas of the forum. And perhaps we'll see you submit for Expert Infantry at some point in the future?

Excited for you, Terry! I've not had much under my belt, in terms of trooping, yet, but the experiences I have had have been so fun! Go out there and represent the Detachment, Legion, and the Empire!

I love graph paper! And that you’re sticking with this, dude! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Bart! Are you referring to the Legion fundraiser linked below? If so, this initiative on FISD is separate from that one, and is related to the monthly expense of email service for FISD. Member have the opportunity to contribute to both or either campaign. This particular FISD drive began only two days ago on 19 March 2024. https://www.501st.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=113646

You're all good, Arthur! Donation received!
