It really is like you say, you can endure more than you'd think, especially knowing that you look awesome! Great job Andreas!

Congratulations Andreas! Welcome to the ranks, you look amazing!

You're within a good height I'd say! I know people shorter than you and they have gotten armors!

Hi Mary! What armor are you looking into getting? A New Hope/Empire Strikes Back/Return of the Jedi or the newer movies? How tall you are can also be of importance, because some makers can't help you if you are "too short" for example

Welcome to the FISD Marcious! Congratulations!

Welcome to the forum Tom!

When you do decide on an armor, this thread is really useful, and contains pretty much everything you need:

Hello Henry! Welcome to the FISD! Congratulations on taking the first steps towards realizing your lifelong dream! The key to this hobby are three things; research, research and lastly, you guessed it: research! The hardest part, I feel, is choosing what armor to go with. The Rogue One Stormtrooper is really cool, however compared to the Stormtroopers from the first two movies (A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back) you don't have a huge list of options when it comes to different makers. Considering that you are on the taller side, this thread could be a good read: Our staff member Torben @Tall_Trooper is 195cm tall, and his Expert Infantry/Centurion application is a good read! You can see how the armor looks on him here in this application and what maker he went with, if you're going for a Stormtrooper from the original trilogy (A New Hope/The Empire Strikes Back):

postimages 101 Why; a short introduction I've been looking into free image hosting websites. Everything seems to point to postimages. (https://postimages.org/) It is a good alternative to imgur, and once you get the hang of it you can be just as effective. Postimages was made primarily to post images on forums, and it's been around since 2004. The sharing functionality is really quick and easy, with direct links to the image that you want to post. If you are, like me, migrating images from Imgur (because Imgur is banned here and there, and want to include your fellow Brits and Indonesians), this is very easy. You have an option to upload an image by using an image url, so by right clicking on the imgur hosted image from your troop log, copying the image address, and pasting it in postimages, you'll upload it. It makes the migration so much easier. 1: Create an account Create an account and log in. You'll be greeted by the following view. Alternatively, you can click on "My images" in the menu, located in the top right navigation. 2: Create a gallery Under "My images", enter the desired name of the gallery you want to create, and press "Create a new gallery". 3: Upload photos/Upload via URL You can upload images from your device, by clicking on the "Choose images" button. Once the images are uploaded, it will automatically take you to the "gallery view". You can also paste copied images or drag and drop your files anywhere. Alternatively, if you are migrating images from imgur or simply just have an image url. Firstly, click on the "Upload via URL" link in the footer. Select what gallery you want to add your images to. Paste the images that you want to upload and press "Upload". 4: Copy direct links Once the images are uploaded, you will end up in the "gallery view". From here, you can easily show all direct links that is used for the forum by pressing the left dropdown in the section "Codes for all images". There are many ways to go about this. I have my favorite and I'll get to that last in this section. First there is the option to just copy the link of the image from this view. My favorite method is to click on the thumbnail to get to the enlarged image view. From this view you can copy the link by pressing "C", and after that, press the copy button on the "Direct link" field. My favorite way, is to simply right click the image from this view and "Copy image address", and paste on the forum, then go to the next image by using the right arrow key on the keyboard. Further tips: If you want to put your images in the order you want them in your post, you can edit the image name by just clicking on the image name, and start typing. I usually do numbers "1, 2, 3", or lead by "a, b, c". When you've named your images, simply refresh the page and you'll have them in your new order. Edit: The sorting seems a bit random so don't expect flawless behavior here IMPORTANT!! - The url of the image will change when you change the image name, so if you have pasted an image to the forum, and changed the image name after the fact, the image will no longer be available and you have to use the new image link. 5: Paste on forum thread

Welcome to the forum Kaleb!

Welcome to FISD BC!

Congratulations trooper, welcome to the ranks!

Hello Grant, welcome to the FISD! Glad to have you here! Congrats on ebmarking on this journey towards becoming a Stormtrooper! What armor have you purchased?

Welcome to the forum Florian!

In some areas I have gotten some shine back by "sanding" with a sanding stick that has 0 grit, so basically you "rub" the shine back in, with friction! But Other than that I was just giving some tips, haven't had to do a whole armor myself!

Congratulations trooper!

Great video John! Thank you for sharing!
