Congratulations Centurion! Welcome to the ranks

Welcome to FISD Vanessa. Hope your first troop as a TK was a blast!

Welcome aboard Paul and congrats on your BBB! Best of luck with your build, make sure to ask lots of questions.

Welcome aboard Josiah! As a recent RS commission receiver I can tell you that they do indeed do some awesome work! One thing that I found helpful for comfort was some one inch craft foam and industrial strength velcro to hold it in place. The foam will help the pinch points and keep certain pieces in place, notably the forearms that like to rotate. I also found the foam useful in lowering the helmet as the folks at RS are very traditional and I found the star shaped foam included was too thick. https://www.amazon.com/24-Square-Foam-Sheet/dp/B00CAYALT4/ref=asc_df_B00CAYALT4/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=507811518192&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9019903058790076534&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9033279&hvtargid=pla-1238526267985&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/VELCRO-Brand-Industrial-Fasteners-Professional/dp/B09S15D5R4/ref=sxts_rp_s1_0?crid=P1Z8FIRKZ3KO&cv_ct_cx=industrial%2Bstrength%2Bvelcro&keywords=industrial%2Bstrength%2Bvelcro&pd_rd_i=B0010HADEA&pd_rd_r=06b0c32d-5ced-48e5-bbb9-8cd8f27559a6&pd_rd_w=NkCpD&pd_rd_wg=AY59r&pf_rd_p=4cfe7f63-d9f6-487a-8b8d-970636ab0992&pf_rd_r=Z113EVVCVCTGTXCTDPD1&psc=1&qid=1649875387&sprefix=industrial%2Bstr%2Caps%2C231&sr=1-1-cb9ed203-36f2-497c-b389-dfec57adb781&th=1 Now for the hardest part, the waiting.

Good luck Ben!

Congratulations Ben. Enjoy your first troop!

Congratulations Luca! Welcome to the ranks. Onward to the next level

Congratulations centurion! Welcome to the ranks, you've earned it!

Congrats on the approval, welcome to the ranks

Wow! Looking fantastic Mario! Good luck [emoji106]

Looking good Ben! Good luck, fingers crossed [emoji1696]

Nice work on the leg cutouts! Looking sharp. Don't forget about the elastic to help keep the shoulder straps down. I did an event where I forgot to use them and it still haunts me to this day.

Congrats on the kit, best of luck with the build. Most of the ab plate sits under the chest piece but there is still some slight return edge. It points more upwards on the outer sides and like a typical return edge in the middle, similar to the kidney piece. Take your time, you got this!

Good luck Luca. It's good to see photos of the trooper behind all the great memes!

Woo-hoo! Congrats! Have fun out there.

Looking good Chris! Best of luck, you got this!

Welcome aboard Zack! I wholeheartedly agree with Glen on the Tk pre approval. It really helps the approval process go smoothly, plus you get to learn a lot about your shiny new armor [emoji3]

Congrats Sean! One man's journey is another man's joy. Glad to have you aboard.

Welcome Keith! Love the idea of the incinerator trooper. As a first year 501st member myself, I totally get the "down the rabbit hole" obsession!

Hi Dan, welcome to FISD! Nice looking kit you got there. We've all been through the learning process and I can say that learning more and more just makes the armor more exciting. Great photos, thanks for sharing.

Woo-hoo for BBB day. Definitely excited to follow this build. Best of luck!

Welcome to FISD Chris. Look forward to seeing your build

Welcome to FISD Anne. Excited to see a Female trooper build!

Congrats Centurion! Nice work!

Congrats Ben! Nicely done! Welcome to the ranks
