Hello and welcome to the FISD Philip! Great to see that you've done your research and printed out the CRL! A build thread on here would be awesome since we always have someone online that can help you if you are even a tiny bit clueless! We have higher levels of armor approval such as Expert Infantry and Centurion, both of which are easiest to achieve if you build the kit with those higher standards in mind, rather than trying to achieve them after you've built your costume! Of course, achieving Expert Infantry or Centurion is not by any means necessary, but they do help your armor to look fantastic! Also, seeing that you are posting images directly into your posts, you'll soon run out of your allocated memory for images - so starting to use Imgur for posting images would be ideal going forward! Here is a nice tutorial on that! Again, welcome and good luck on your continued journey!

Do it!! And congrats!!

Congratulations Abi!

Great meme! Here's how we post our images onto the forum! Keep them coming!

Good luck! Great work Terry!

Wohoo! Congratulations Abi! One of us! One of us! One of us!

Hello Nathan and welcome to the FISD!

Soooooooon you're a 501st Legion TK Do you feel excited?

All sounds awesome!

I think you look great! One thing you can have in mind when suiting up (that will make a huge difference) is that you try to have the ab plate overlapping the kidney plate rather than the other way around! Ideally they should meet up evenly of course, but almost every time, it is the kidney plate that should receive the cuts/sandpaper and not the AB plate, so overlapping the AB plate over the kidney makes sense! Was your cod snap attached in the pictures? The belt is a little bit long in the back, but the position of your TD looks great! Good job! Good job on the shoulder positions as well!

Congratulations on BBB day! Will be interesting to follow your build!

Hello there! Welcome to the FISD!

...at lest when looking at thees pictures! How does it look in real life?

Gosh the smaller one looks incredible! More hologram-like than the bigger one even! I'm so happy that this little scan thing could turn out useful somehow!

Hello and welcome to the ranks Markus! Congratulations on being approved!!! Thank you for the lovely introduction! I laughed hard at this! And it is great to hear that you have high ambitions! In the end your armor will look pristine, so the work is always worth it! Each level requires minimal effort and cost, but requires an eye for detail - and (this you might already know) we'll be here for you to answer any and all of your questions to help you achieve your goals!

Here is how my 3D scan turned out!

Exciting Matt! Love the angle of the TD on the back, good job! And the work you've done to cover the previous split rivet holes is awesome, must have been a daunting task at first, so good job! You've got this!

A FISD mug would be ideal

These are my go-to mugs! Which ones do you have? Christmas is coming up and I have people that want me to wish for something! I need some inspo!

Excited!! I'm interested in getting my hands on one if you can handle the hassle of sending it over to Sweden (paying myself ofc) Otherwise I'll try to make it with the help of some friends with 3d printers over here!

●Forearms and shins adjustment are on my list. Shins and forearms can be set lower without problem...but i was afraid the gap would be to big between bizeps/forearm and thighs/shins. You don't have to be afraid of a little gap there, my shins are on the smaller side and having them around where you have them but maybe a tiny bit further down should be OK, however if you have the shins lower and you still worry about a gap there, you can always try to lower the thighs a little bit to minimize that gap! I think it looks good now but maybe just lower the sniper knee shin so that the tops meet? I recently raised my shins after some time of worrying about the same thing, and I put some velcro on the insdie of them that meets up with the boot itself, making it stay in place! Here is a little documentation of the process! ● belt was loosen from the snaps, should be ok when snapped in. All good and dandy! If anything for the EIB/Centurion approval just make sure that the belt is at or just above the ab buttons when taking the pictures! ● to rotate the" O" of thermal detonator downwards ,i have to shorten the clips,right? Or how can i manage this? I had comments about this as well and simply bending down both clips tiny bits at a time (with your hands) will do the trick!

Congratulations!!! Looking amazing Andy! Welcome to the ranks trooper!

Awesome! Excited to follow the progress!

Hello Klair, and welcome to the FISD! Congratulations on being approved, welcome to the ranks! Make sure to start a build thread in the TFA Build Threads section for your TFA build! There are a lot of build threads already with very good information and documentation to help you along the way, and by sharing your own experience you will in turn help others - as well as getting help from our community if you ever have questions, leading to a beautiful armor! Also make sure to request 501st Trooper status here on the forum, so that you can get full access as well as being eligible for certain merch runs in the future! In the 501st Trooper Status Requests thread below, you will find the instructions on how to do it! (SPOILER ALERT: Once your 501st profile updates with your TK, paste this link in the request thread)

Omg that is so cool!!! Amazing idea as a hologram!!
