Requesting my 50 troop badge

Troop 50 London , Ontario April 23, 2024 London Children’s Hospital Visit This was a very special troop being my 50th but also my first hospital troop. We went through the ward of the Children’s hospital and visited with kids and their families. It meant so much to not only see the faces of the kids light up, but also the parents who in their own right are going through so much stress with their kids not being well. Once again, glad my tears were hidden under the helmet.

Hi chris most boots come from keep trooping or crop props. They are generally custom made to order, so getting a pair by the weekend will be tough. You may be able to find a similar pair to paint in a regular shoe store.

I would worry that the wood will alter the colour of the paste and consistency as well. If the ABS pieces are decent sized, could you simply wash them off to get them clean again?

Welcome back Tyler. with respect to the ABS paste. When you say sawdust, if you are referring to the abs sawdust, that should not make any difference as it will dissolve into the acetone. If it is wood sawdust however, that would be a different story.

Troop 49 Niagara Falls , Ontario April 6, 2024 Niagara Falls pre Eclipse Party This was a Star Wars themed pre eclipse party put on by the City of Niagara Falls. We were asked to be there to interact and take photos with guests. Unfortunately the event was not well attended and only 20 to 30 guests came. We still had a great time dancing away in our costumes. Pre event group shot Obligatory elevator selfie There was an odd pole in the middle of the room we used to change. So I had to try it out. Got a bunch of credits for my effort from the FOTK in the back. Had to also grab a photo with my new transport vehicle. They said the barrel ride was completely safe. Not so sure

Hi Laura. Welcome to the FISD.

Welcome to the amazing world of plastic spacemen Jeffrey. Glad to have you here and looking forward to following your build. Never feel bad about asking questions. We all had them at some point. My first issue perplexing me was the fit of my biceps. When I asked for help, I was gently and politely told that they were on upside down. Everyone here wants to see you succeed.

I ordered mine 13 months ago. I spoke with him in the new year and mine is apparently in the next wave. He has had a lot of issues sourcing the electronics and basically had to start over with his suppliers. You can reach out to him on Facebook. If he doesn’t reply, reach out again. He gets lots of messages and sometimes loses them

Hello Xavier. Welcome.

Hi Tim; CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: All required photos have been submitted, and on behalf of the entire D.O. staff we are pleased to welcome you to the rank of Centurion. You have done a great job in making the suggested modifications and should be proud wearing your armor. Congratulations! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly; In this area we review observations made by your fellow troopers and the DO team. Some observations may lead to suggestions to improve the overall look of your armor, and please keep in mind that we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions. No additional suggestions.

Congratulations Jason and welcome to the FISD

Personally, I would reach out to the armour maker to get a new piece, The ridges are quite obvious and would likely pass basic but not higher levels of approval

Hi Tim. Glen is correct in that the gap should be filled to create a smooth surface from the outside. You can use Sugru (https://sugru.com) or make some ABS paste with scrap trimmings from your kit to fill the gap. Please let me know if you have any other questions

Honestly, I am almost to 50 troops and I still have the biggest goofy kid grin under the helmet the entire time. Trust me we do get how you feel.
