At a local social event someone mentioned a log for troops done on the FISD. We have one on our squad page. Is there one here, I can't seem to find it. TIA. R

A very big thank you to John Child (Captain’s Drydock) and Tony (ukswraith). It was your video series on YouTube and build thread on here that got me to pick the FOTK and have the confidence to build it. Also a big thanks to everyone who responded along the way. Your advice got me to the finish line.

Another question. So I have the Imperial Surplus kit and it came with 4 shhets of extra ABS. So I used that for the shims on hte forearms and biceps. It is quite thick. For the bicep shims, I saw 50/50 some guys curved them some not. Well I should have curved them. On one of them it comes together kind of tightly. So I have a heat gun now, any advice on how to heat the shim up and bend it without destroying the rest of the bicep?

So before I cut and trim on these spats. I glued this side and will Velcro the other. But are the tab edges supposed to be smooth and flush with the rest?

I’m still learning how to get pics on here. I’ve been doing trimming over the weekends. Wow it is a lot. I think I got the chest plate pills fixed. I also add some epoxy to the resin vent to make the line straighter. Haven’t cut out the old…yet. Question though. I was looking through the CRL and noticed the level 3 line about the side grooves. I saw 1 WIP who did some work to this area. But are they good in the pic I have?

Thx Glen.

Thank to all the past posters and videos for the ton of info and giving me the courage (maybe falsely, since you make it look "easy.") to get into this. I have been a handler for my wife who has an OTTK.
Anyway I finally got my armor in and set out. I started with the chest piece. I wanted to touch open up the pill holes...but I am wondering if this is non-repairable? I have some epoxy putty that might be able to fill in some, but wanted to get some thoughts. Any ideas for a good template to help with that, I do have the decals.
Secondly, I was planning on using the resin chest vent. I have not cut anything in the chest plate out yet. Feeling gun shy now. But I was sanding the resin piece from the back. the flat slit opening nicely but the corners were hard and took awhile. Then I noticed the fat slit opening up more. In the pic is it too much? How would li have prevented that and still open up to corners. Thanks.

Japser an dothert. What glue did you all use for your "Belts of the First Order" belt kit and has it held up?

From rural central Texas. My wife is ANHTK member of 501st and I've handled for her on some troops. Now it is my turn. I am looking into a First Order TFATK kit. I like to think I'm hangy nad have most of the tools to do a kit but just need the confidence. I have decided to and am communicating with Imperial Surplus for their kit but have actually ordered yet. I am about 6ft and 190 with an atheltic build. So am open to advice. My main concern is the painting and getting a good outcome. Thx again.
