Toronto Comicon 2024 Day 3
This was the final day of the con and was again a lot of fun despite being exhausted and sore. We were visited at the booth by Roger Christian (Set decorator Episode 4 , Second Unit Director Episode 1 and 7). Always great to see Roger. He is very down to earth and loves to share his stories. Total donations raised for Make A Wish were around $5,500.

We were visited by Denis Lawson (Wedge Antilles), Eman Esfandi (Esra Bridger - Ahsoka ) and Diana Lee Inosanto (Morgan Elisabeth - Ahsoka). All were amazing,y friendly and excited to visit us at the booth. My son also trooped with me in his scout costume.

Toronto Comicon 2024 Day 1
This was the first of a 3 day troop and my first troop at a con as part of the garrison command staff. It was fun to see things from the organization side of the con as well.
We had a great auction with 3 lightsabers, a citizen Star Wars watch, 6 Rsvlts Star Wars shirts and many other items thanks to generous donations from vendors.
I didn’t manage many photos this day but served as a target for blast a trooper.

Hi Tim,
Sorry for the slow reply, was away trooping for the weekend.
The photos look good. I will look over your application over the next few days.

Congratulations, welcome to Centurion

Nice job on the patching - I don't think it will be noticeable from a few feet away. The fine line on the paint is tricky, you can clean it up slightly with a toothpick dipped in mineral spirits (just DO NOT USE acetone)

First troop of the year at Toronto Comic Con. Another huge step for me getting back in trooping with Garrison involving large crowds. Up to 36 troops in total so far
Great seeing you out there Nik - always fun to troop with you.

One thing that I am noticing in the photo of your belt is that the canvas belt appears to not be lining up with the 45 degree cut outs on the corners of the ABS belt. It could just be a perspective issue on the photo if the canvas belt has dropped away from the ABS one. If you are aiming for Centurion, then you may need to trim the corners a bit as shown below.
L3 CRL: "The corners of the plastic ammo belt shall be trimmed at a 45 degree angle that that meets the outer edge of the cloth belt."

They should be cut down to sit almost flush on the belt

May have questions about the angle of the TD buttons but will see how I get on first.
Here is a photo to explain what I am talking about with adjusting the clip. You essentially are just unrolling the thermal detonator on the clip slightly. Let me know if this doesn't make sense.

Hi Tim, I will be the Deployment Officer overseeing your application.
Your application looks great and you have an amazing set of armour. Before we go ahead with the approval however, I just need a couple of things from you.
1. Could you please send another photo of the right side of the helmet? The one you have does not clearly show all 3 screws as the bottom screw is not visible. You just need to grab the photo at a slightly lower angle.
There are a couple of minor fixes that we will need you to do as well before we can move ahead with the approval.
With respect to the thermal detonator, Your control panel is sitting a bit too high and the round disk is pointing upwards. The CRL for the control panel is as follows:
Basic CRL: The white control panel raised ribbed pad faces the rear, with the controls/round washer style detail closest to the right end cap.
This is a fairly simple fix. All you need to do to correct this is open up the clip a bit to allow the thermal detonator to roll down a bit.
Reference Images
The second fix we will need on the thermal detonator is with respect to the placement of the clips. They should be up against the white end caps. You will just need to move them over slightly. If the black paint on the screws gets chipped off while doing this, its a simple touch up with a dab of paint.
L2 CRL: Thermal detonator belt clips are positioned with little to no gap between the clips and the end caps.

Hello Leia. Welcome to the FISD. Looking forward to following your journey
-
If you look at the reference photos, they look like they are okay. As they go all the way to the top on one photo, but are a bit shorter like yours in the other. Personally, I like the look better with the gap covered. Remember though that the top of the cover strip will be hidden under the shoulder bell.

TK-24881 Requesting ESB Stunt Stormtrooper EIB Status (RS) - Approved 2nd
in Request Expert Infantry Status
Posted
Hi Tim, and thank you for your EIB application!
CRL and EIB 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 Expert Infantry. 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.
The angle of screws should ideally line up with the back of the trap. The left side is pretty close , but the right is just a bit off.
References
The shoulder straps are floating a bit in the back. This should be an easy fix with a hot water bath.
References
Your left thigh is sitting a bit high when compared with the right side and will likely cause armour bite where it meets the cod piece. This is likely more of a strapping issue and should be an easy fix. The sniper knee plate may need to be shifted forward to make room once the thigh is lowered. This may be achieved with some padding at the top front portion of the shin armour. May also want to trim off the top of the front cover strips on the thighs as they will dig into the upper leg when walking.

***************************************************
Centurion Requirements:
In this section we prepare you for our highest tier of approval. Because Centurion photos must show more detail than EIB, items pertaining to Level 3 might be seen there and not here and additional photos may be required. We try to point out all that we can from what we are able to clearly see, but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper.
Your right shoulder bell distance from the shoulder strap is perfect, the left could be moved in a bit. This can be corrected with a slightly shorter strap or by moving the snap further in on the shoulder bridge
L3 CRL: There should be a minimal gap between the shoulder armour and the chest/back plates
References
Fill in gap at bottom of rear of the right thigh. You can use Sugru or ABS paste for this
L3 CRL: Lower thigh ridge joins (front and rear) shall butt-up flush against each other. Any gaps must be backed with ABS or filled as not to be noticeable.
References
Your ammo belt should be brought up slightly to sit at the bottom of the lowest blue button. This can be corrected with a bit of Velcro to hold the belt in place.
L3 CRL: The top of the ABS ammo belt should sit at or just above the bottom of the central and vertical abdomen button panels.
