Mighty impressive numbers you have here, congratulations on hitting 125!!! New badge available!

We don't have as many ROs out there as I'd like! If you are excited about the thought, you should definitely entertain it!

Hello Vic! Your Hovi-Mix files look great, and I can't wait to see what you conjure up next! Do you have any plans on joining the legion?

Republic airways, from the old days before the Empire!

48. 2024-03-29, Star Wars in Concert (Return of the Jedi), Stockholm (Hero) The Star Wars in Concert (A New Hope) is what started my Stormtrooper journey in April of 2022. Very soon after that concert experience I decided to order my kit after wanting to become a Stormtrooper for ages. This is a picture of me from that event: The orchestra honored us by after the movie was over, inviting us in to stand in front of the stage, while they played Imperial March one last time! Escorting Papa Palps The people in the orchestra was really excited to meet us too! I confiscated some Mandalorian weapons and played them like a violin to the concert music in the background The Mandalorian wanted to see if it worked or not! Argued with some rebel of course! Am I doing it right? The view from the venue is of the Stockholm City Hall, the most famous landmark of Stockholm, Sweden. It's crazy to be able to say that I've had a troop in there too! Playing rock paper scissors with the Mandalorian There is only one way to guarantee a win! That's it for this time! Now I'm going to Vietnam and Thailand for some vacation for 2 weeks! No troops until May!

I'm so happy for you! I still feel the same as when I started! I've never clung so hard to a hobby or community before, I'm here to stay! Can't see how my life would look like without it now that I have it! Crazy! Everyone on here becomes almost like an extended family, and it really shows when we go through tough times together, we are always there for each other! For the Empire!

Congratulations on becoming a Stormtrooper Jason! How excited are you? When you say first, what other costumes do you have in mind?

I think you should try my suggestions, there were some points that I think would make it a bit more like the original, like the black area on the left being smaller than the bottom spacing! (But that isn't the black leather pieces concern, only triangle related/red leather) As for the big black one that is underneath, I think you can go ahead, if it is anything like the old one! Is there anything you can think of regarding the fitment in the back? I haven't seen any images in this thread of the back from the old one!

Welcome to the FISD Jeffrey! I think shooting for Centurion is an awesome thing to do, and a lot of fun as well! Those requirements are abeolutely easiest to achieve when having them in mind in your build from day 1, for example I had to cut off my sniper knee with a knife to adjust the position for Centurion, and if I had put in on myself the right way from the beginning that would of course have been a lot easier! Glad to have you!!

Sorry if I'm not helping at all Just trying to contribute the with what I can to move it forward! Feel totally free to dismiss it!

From a design perspective (thinking from the developers POV), it would make sense if they designed it to reuse as many measurements as possible, so if you could just try to use the same distance as you have at #1 (the distance between the black and red leather around the neck) on #2 (the top of the triangle shape, making the black area at the top have the same distance), and on #3 minimize the distance to the edge a bit?

I have played around with triangles and pasted a non-slanted triangle on one of the reference photos where it is pointing basically at the camera (minimum distortion), and I was just thinking if you need a triangle ratio to go on, this could help! I think what you have right now may be a little too slanted, compared to the screenshots I've seen, what do you think? I know that the triangle needs to be a little slanted just because of where it is located, and I know that the bottom of the triangle follows the bottom curve of the circle shape, and the top of the triangle is cropped, and right now it may be juuust a little too slanted by the looks of the blueprint you've made, but then again I don't know how the fabric will bend and stuff, so perhaps if you cut out your shape on the paper and place it on your body it would show a little more clearly if what you have now is good or not? I also noticed that the left side of the triangle (the outside) has a smaller black area than the bottom side, and in your blueprint it pretty much looked like you had the same size all around, is that correct?

I think that this is a great approach, to hold for feedback, especially considering the amount of time and money you're putting into it! We all want the same thing in the end!

Congratulations Centurion #530! Great job Tyler, this is an outstanding achievement!

Looks fantastic!!

Hello Jonathan! We're so glad to have you back! What kit do you intend to build?

Hello Jason and congratulations!! Just how excited are you? How does it feel?

Always! Thank you Terry!

More images from the previous troop We signed some autographs for a sweet kid in isolation! We played pool, and I didn't want to let the Empire down, so I made sure I won! Played some guitar! Very hard with the gloves on! Always doing this thinking of you @revlimiter! The selfie master!

That's awesome!

Now this is how every parade should be, amazing photo Helen! Please welcome TK-42085 to the Stormtrooper Hall of Fame, February 2024! @mamaking Troop log can be found here. With Unquestioned Loyalty Jonatan Östling TK-23592 "Nairy" Attaché Ambassador

47. 2024-03-14, Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset Huddinge (Karolinska University Hospital Huddinge), Stockholm (Hero) Then it was time for another hospital visit! These troops... always hit hard! First time wearing a mask as a TK! We had to wear them as we visited a certain section of the hospital with people getting stem cells. The crew! This adorable little one liked me the most out of everyone (I'm not surprised), and after the high five she couldn't contain her happiness so she was running away from her intravenous drip! Her father had a hard time keeping up with the rolling stand for the drip! Then we went to a play section of the hospital and played some air hockey, pool and piano! Stormtroopers are vain! Of course I wanted to take a look! That's it for this time! On to troop 48 (Star Wars in Concert, Return of the Jedi)!

Oooh them lines look CRISP! Like deep fried porg nuggets!

Hi Vincent! It looks like the attachés (helpers/FISD representatives) of your Garrison (Empire City Garrison) are located about a 3h 30min/4h car drive from you, and will most likely be unable to help out physically! Since you are in the same Garrison, I'll ping them here to see if they perhaps know someone from/close to your area, or would be able to help! Empire City Garrison Allan @allan1313 East L.I., Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan ANH-S/ESB/HWT Steve @starsaber25 East Long Island ANH-S/ANH-H/ESB, GML, DCoG When it comes to online help, everyone here on the forum are here to assist you in any way we can! Most people here have taken on the daunting task of building the armor themselves, and with their experience comes sound advice and tips and recommendations! Build thread Most people start a build thread, in which they post images of their current progress, and can ask for example: "Should I cut here at this line? What do you think would be best?", and when our people on the forum sees the image attached to the post with the proposed cut line, they can determine if it looks good or not to cut! So if you want a head start on your build Start a build thread! Available hours We have people all over the world in pretty much all time zones, so there is always someone online!
