  1. Welcome Mandy. Which version of TK are you looking to assemble? https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:FISD_CRL
  2. Did you also fill out this form on the 501st Legion website? https://www.501st.com/members/join_form.php
  3. Chur Shane. You, along with Callum, were one of the first 501st Legion members I met in Wellington. Looking forward to our next troop together.
  4. I feel an armour party is on the cards.
  5. Hi Mark, Where abouts in Kiwi land do you hail from? I’m from Wellington. Perhaps you could host an armour party & have some of the local members attend & help you with the TK assembly. Cheers, Phil
  6. Hi Millssy, I am also a member of the Clone Trooper Detachment. I have both phase I & phase II Rex animated costumes. There is also Rex - Cold Weather costume, which is mainly a soft costume with a few armour pieces. https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:CC_CW-animated_rex_coldweather This may be a better option for you, as when you may need to rest you will be able to sit down. Whereas, in clone armour it’s a bit of a mission. Happy to give any assistance I’m able to. Cheers from New Zealand. The name’s Rex, but call me Phil
  7. Welcome & congratulations on your TK approval
  8. Yeah, I see there are members on here still waiting for their kit orders 🥲
  9. Hi Aiden, Which Garrison are you involved with? I’ve been building clone troopers since 2008 & recommend contacting your local garrisons Clone Trooper Detachment members. As the FOTK kit is assembled similar to the internal cover strips & butt joins we use on the AOTC & ROTS realistic version clone troopers. I’m sure my clone brothers would be more than happy to assist you with your build [emoji1687] Im based in New Zealand if you need any remote support [emoji1417] Cheers, Phil aka KiwiCaptainRex
  10. I have a couple of the original Anovos FOTzk buckets & they came with a foam padded doughnut, that has Velcro swatches that hold the doughnut in place. I’m not sure how well the doughnut would work on the lighter (weight) injection moulded bucket. I can take photos possibly tomorrow if you want.
  11. Hi guys, I was one of the 75 legion members that signed up for the alpha set of FOTK run for Celebration Anaheim 2015. Unfortunately I didn’t receive the kit in time for Celebration Anaheim, and there was a delay in receiving the kit. In the interim, another member who did receive the kit, opted to sell his partially assembled kit. I was lucky enough to be in a position to buy that kit. I finally got around to assembling & completing the kit in December 2019 & submitted approval photos. I was knocked back on a couple of minor issues, and it took another 12 months until I wore the costume again with the alterations completed. In my haste to change into another costume, I forgot to get new approval photos taken. At Wellington Armageddon Expo 2021, I wore the costume & remembered to get the required approval photos, and submitted them to my GML. After 6 years, I can say this alpha kit is completed [emoji23] TK-6407 Ps, I did receive the original kit I ordered. It’s still sitting in the multiple boxes it arrived in [emoji3061]
  12. TK-6407 requesting 501st & Detachment access, Outpost 42 New Zealand Garrison https://www.501st.com/members/displaymemberdetails.php?userID=10275
  13. Congrats & best wishes for EIB & Centurian approval [emoji1687]
  14. I’d raise your butt plate & kidney plate, as the belt looks to be half way up your kidney plate. Lower your back plate to close the gap between it & your kidney plate. Right thigh looks like it needs to be raised to match your left thigh. This will increase the gap between thigh & shin at the knee.
  15. Yes, definitely come over to the clone trooper detachment, and check out the animated clone section [emoji1687]
  16. On the 501st.com website, click Contact us, it will open a new page & then click on the New Member Application Form.
  17. You will need to resubmit approval photos of you wearing the costume. Send the required photos to your local Garrisons GML. Also on the 501st.com website, submit your membership request.
  18. Welcome to the forums. Your boys may be interested in joining the Galactic Academy. www.galactic-academy.net
  19. Can’t wait for the trailer to drop
  20. We are 9° with a Southerly blowing [emoji3063] Playing rugby in a few hours, not looking forward to it [emoji23]
  21. Is that a Rogue One TK? As the boots are FOTK boots...
  22. Hi Kevin, Where abouts in Aotearoa do you hail? I’m in Wellington. Which TK variant are you looking to start with? Cheers, Phil
