First and foremost... There is no one 'best' armor. There is a 'best' armor for *you* depending on a few factors: 1) Your budget 2) What your body size is (yes, different armors lend themselves for different body types) * 3) How experienced are you at building armor 4) It's not the kit, it's how it's fitted to the wearer that counts * While FISD does not endorse any particular armor maker, below are sellers who have proven themselves time and again in terms of customer service, honesty, and quality. All makes below can be made to be both 501st and FISD acceptable. MATERIALS Armor is made from either HIPS or ABS. HIPS --- Pros: generally less expensive, easier to trim. --- Cons: needs painting or serious polishing to look shiny. Most HIPS will not be as durable as ABS or take the stress of ABS --- Suitability: will hold up fine for regular trooping ABS --- Pros: no need to paint, high durability --- Cons: may lack the detail of HIPS, usually harder to trim --- Suitability: will hold up fine for regular trooping plus take a lot of abuse OTHER TERMS Untrimmed: means the kit comes untrimmed and you'll have to trim the parts before starting assembly. Trimmed: parts are pre-trimmed and you can start assembling right away ANH Derived: traces back to a screen used helmet. Armor came from an incomplete ROTJ suit that was supplemented with parts from a tour suit, with this base being modified to be more ANH accurate in detailing. Parts will need to be butt joined with a finishing strip glued on top. * ON SIZING ANH Derived armor (TE2, AP) was sculpted for a typical UK actor circa 1976, e.g. 5'10" and 165lbs. While good for smaller body types, it has been successfully made to fit people as large as 6'4" 235lbs though requires a bit of shimming to pull this off. 1. If you are taller or larger in frame/girth, you may want to consider AM, RT, or TM armor makes for easier fitting. 2. If you are shorter, while ANH derived armor may lend itself to your size, even FX armor has been made to fit and look good on people as small as 5'6" and 115lbs (and smaller!). 3. RT has upsized his helmet by 4-5% which makes it equivalent to the size of the old FX but is more accurate in appearance. So, while it's true that every kit has a certain ideal body type, every make has been made to fit every body type and still look good. WHO TO AVOID 1. Be aware that this site - http://www.stormtroo...s.com/home.html - is not considered commercially available. It is run by a person selling recast parts, and at a healthy premium over what you can buy direct from vetted sources. You've been warned... 2. Do not buy from e-bay - kits are over-priced, the quality is often dubious, and always recast. 3. Also see this thread: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/19329-where-what-and-whom-to-avoid-when-buying/ COMMISSION BUILDS Please be aware before purchasing a "commission build" (assembled by any of our vetted sellers listed below) or a completed costume sold by reputable members, does not mean an automatic pass at our higher levels of approval. As with all costumes, the armor will be under the same level of scrutiny as one you assemble yourself. It must fit well and follow correctly the requirements as set out in the current CRL. Please also bare in mind, you could be requested to make modifications and corrections when applying for Expert Infantry and Centurion levels where additional reference materials are used over and above what is written in said CRL's. Some example are sniper plate positioning, rivet placement and the finer details scrutinized at Centurion. VETTED MAKERS While there are many other sources for armor, the list below only contains those who have proven track records of honest business dealings, quality craftsmanship, and that are free from recast debates. You are certainly free to buy where you will, but if you vary this list we strongly encourage that you at least do your due diligence inquiring about the seller's quality and reputation before parting with your money. === ANH DERIVED ARMOR === Type: ATA (Affordable Trooper Armor) Sadly Unavailable until further notice Country: USA Contact: Kit: ABS (HIPS by request), untrimmed, ANH derived Availability Assembly: Armor needs to be trimmed, parts butt joined with finishing strips, HIPS needs to be painted.

Updated bucks for the majority of the armor and helmet in 2018 to meet Centurion level standards (separate ab button plate, kidney notches, etc). Availability: Currently about 8 month wait. Assembly: Parts are "close trimmed" (a thicker return edge is left on all parts for those seeking more accuracy for strapping brackets etc. Final trimming is far less work than "untrimmed off the buck" armor. Designed to be easy to put together (regarded as one of the easiest kits to assemble as all "halves of lumbs etc. line up to one another without problems). Designed for butt joined limbs with a formed ridge with cover strips. Some parts can be formed without ridges present. Helmet comes as a kit as of 2019. Options: ANH stunt, ESB hand armor Comments: Designed especially for taller/larger body types and has more capacity to fit these troopers (without shims) than most makes of armor. There are 2 sizes of back armor, 3 sizes of thighs, 2 sizes of shins / calves, and the ab / kidney will accommodate approx 40" waist without shims. The thighs are wider and can accomodate a wide range of sizes. Female troopers often order thighs / shins to accommodate wider hips etc. The armor and helmet are sculpted at 4% larger than an original kit. The difference is subtle but makes fitting/sizing much easier for taller/larger troopers (has been worn very easily by troopers from 6' to 6'5").

Hi Chris, and thank you for your EIB application! CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All required photos have been submitted, and on behalf of the entire D.O. staff we are pleased to welcome you to the rank of Expert Infantry. Congratulations! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly; In this area we review observations made by your fellow troopers and the DO team. Some observations may lead to suggestions to improve the overall look of your armor, and please keep in mind that we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions. Great job with the required fixes brother. Next we have some suggestions for you to check. Let's start from top. The helmet looks like you're wearing a bit too high. If possible, we recommend that you remove some of the inner padding of the helmet (upper area) so that it sits a little lower Reference Images Centurion Requirements: In this section we prepare you for our highest tier of approval. Because Centurion photos must show more detail than EIB, items pertaining to Level 3 might be seen there and not here and additional photos may be required. We try to point out all that we can from what we are able to clearly see, but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper. CRL L2: Ideally, the tube stripes are positioned approximately a pencil width from the side of the cheek. This is a requirement for Level 2, but since yours are somewhat close( the right side is perfect) we are allowing this for Level 2 and moving it to Centurion. Reference Images CRL special note: Armor is scaled proportionately to the wearer. Looking at your forearms, they seem too wide. I've made this modification for Garrison's buddies by removing the cover strips (sometimes just the rear one), trimming the forearm a little, and re-gluing the cover strip. Reference Images CRL L3: Ab button paint shall not extend beyond the bottom of the actual raised button. This one is an easy fix, just a painting session to add a little more paint to the edges to cover the raised section. Reference Images For accuracy , you may want to trim the return edge on your small ab buttons plate to get it flat. Reference images CRL L3: The top of the ABS ammo belt should sit at or just above the bottom of the central and vertical abdomen button panels. In looking at the reference images below, we are asking that you raise it a little to at least cover more of the bottom of the ab-button plate(s). Ideally it should touch (or even overlap a bit) the bottom button(s). Reference Images CRL for BASIC : The total length is approximately 7.50" (190.5mm). End caps are approximately .78" (20mm)in width. Looking at your Thermal Detonator and comparing it to the reference image, you will nee to reduce the endcaps width and the pipe size to get a more accurate look sir. You may want to check the above CRL reference dimensions. Reference Images CRL L3: Ideally there no gap between the abdomen and kidney armor Perhaps , Just a little strapping adjustment could do the job here. Reference Images CRL L3: Drop boxes are vertically aligned with the end of the ammo belt with minimal gap between belt and box. As you can se bellow, the drop boxes are overlapping a little the ABS belt. It looks like you need to lower down the elastic strap. Reference Images CRL L3: Hand guards shall be latex or latex-like, solid white or painted white, and affixed to rubber gloves with no visible strapping or stitching. You may want to replace the plastic hand plates for the more accurate ones requested by the crl. Reference Images CRL L3: The blaster may have minor weathering or base metal exposure however, T-tracks and grips shall be of a black plastic appearance with no silver/metallic weathering allowed. Just take in account to give a black paint coat to the T-tracks as per the CRL requirement. Reference Images And that's all trooper. Congratulations for your EIB badge!!! We are confident that you'll go above a beyond with the fixes to reach the next level. Remember to request your EIB certificate HERE .

Hi all, long time listener first time caller. I pre-ordered the ANOVOS kit way back in 2015 at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim. After receiving the kit there was much ooh-ing and aah-ing as I sifted through the mountains of white plastic, and dreams of one day owning a completed armor set. It was then put back into storage (along with hopes and dreams) for almost a decade. But there's no time like the present! I've finally decided to complete this build or die trying, with a goal of completion by Halloween. I've lurked these forums and followed many build threads over the years, so I figured starting my own build thread would be a good way to document and share my journey like those that have inspired me along with getting some valuable feedback, About a year or so ago, I actually took the pieces out and rough trimmed everything. Thanks past-me! Decided to start with the right forearm first, here it is trimmed, sized, and inner cover strips attached. Didn't do a great job cutting straight so there is a bit of a gap at the butt joins. Imperial inspector Kiki disapproves of my shoddy work. Currently working on the left forearm and both bicep pieces. Just attached inner cover strips for left forearm, biceps are trimmed and sized but waiting on the arrival of more magnets before attachment of inner cover strips.

Cover strips can follow the thigh tops, if there is an angle trim to suit If you need to trim the thighs for sizing I would recommend trying on all the pieces first and taking photos, for those of a shorter stature you can add mobility cut outs to the bottom of the thighs and tops of the shins, again this should only be done once you are fully kitted up and take some photos. With trimming the tops of the thighs you would try to follow the shape which is already there, just taking some of the height off. Hope that makes sense, only one coffee so far today

Continuing work despite the lack of updates. The shins have been a pain in the thermal exhaust port and have reduced motivation a bit. After multiple fitting and heating sessions I finally arrived at what I believe to be adequate, which will do for now. Cover strips are on, but have not attached velcro yet. The rear cover strip is a bit misaligned due to the back seam not being completely flat/flush. It's just near the ankle though, so hopefully velcro join strength won't be too compromised. Could I heat bend the cover strip slightly to match the curve? Also did initial fitting and inner cover strips for the thighs which was uneventful (but I'm thankful for that after the shins). I will likely have to trim a bit more from the top later, so will wait on attaching the outer cover strips. Thermal detonator was also a quick win. Was going to stick with whatever screws were provided, but phillips head just looks so out of place so I'll get the correct ones later. Now for the fun part! Doing some initial fitting for the chest/back/ab/kidney/butt. Any recommendations appreciated. Ab, kidney, and butt taped together. I think this is a good placement. Butt piece will need heat shaping on the sides so they don't flare out so much. With chest piece: Gap between back and kidney looks a bit too big, but ab can't really go any higher because... you know. Maybe I can heat bend the back shoulder flaps to allow them to hang lower?

I hope I'm in the right place for this question. Will these front cover strips on my thighs be approved. Just wanted to check before I rip them off and replace them with the tops being straight across. I got crazy on the belt sander making them comfortable before I looked at a couple photos of the CRL. Thank you!

QUESTION TIME! Okay I have highlighted with blue where I left 7.5mm on the front ridge which will be covered with the 15mm cover strips So we are good there. Is there a rule of thumb of the back of the forearm? I will use a 15mm cover strip there aswell. On the back of the forearm where the cover strip goes does that size of ridge matter ? Or no as it will be covered with a 15 millimeters cover strip aswell. Lastly , when I start my biceps next, should I start with making each side 7.5millimeters on the front ridge on each piece that’ll be covered by the front cover strip and then size them from the back? thanks as always!

Hi everyone! My names Adam and I'm an absolute newbie at this I bought my trooper armour some years ago from *cough* TKUK but unfortunately I had quite a bad accident in 2020 so I've only just got back to having it in me to get started on this armour kit again. Only down side, I'm now chubbier than what I'd like to be but, I can't have this sat here collecting dust any longer so... let's get started on it again! I'll post some pics up of my progress so far but, I think I'm already stuck as I believe I need a XL ab/cod piece to go with my XL kidney plate. I'm also in need of some cover strips for the legs as the ones I've got a really slim. I'll try and post pictures as soon as possible.

Hi again @gmrhodes13 - getting my ducks in a row for an EIB application. Quick question as I couldn't see anything in the CRL around cover strip specs, but as pointed out above, my bicep cover strips don't cover enough of the raised section. From memory, those cover strips are supposed to be 12-15mm. They're currently 15mm and match the forearm cover strip width. Do I need to cut and shut them closer (they are extremely snug as it is) and then shim the back of the biceps, OR can I simply put a slightly wider cover strip, say 20mm on the front to cover more of the raised portion? Same deal with the ABS button covers on the belt. I read someone else's EIB application that they needed to be shaved down flush. Is that recommended or compulsory for higher levels of approval? Mine are probably 4-5mm thick, but unsure if I should remove and do them again. Any feedback would be awesome.

Welcome back, you may have noticed your build thread had been moved to "Build Threads Requireing Maintenance" this is because most of your images are missing and left with broken links, if you do have a copy it would be great if you could update your build thread A little difficult to see some details as your photos are of a low resolution but here are a few things you may want to address: Definitely looks like your thighs should come up as they are hitting your shins. Are your biceps snug or loose as they could be smaller? With cover strips they normally sit just inside the raised ridges (not all armor makes have the raised ridges), in your case you needed more room, this makes an issue as the raised areas are quite wide. In some cases people remove the raised areas and glue flat pieces, adding ABS paste and sanding/polish. If the gap between the raised ridges is not too big you can add larger cover strips, I would however speak with your GML (garrison membership liaison) as to how wide is acceptable for approval. This is an example of adding a shim after raised ridge has been removed Although these are for thighs but you can see what I mean with the raised areas, they have been removed in these threads You may need to trim your backplate so it sits above the kidney, one corner is stuck inside your kidney the other corner outside, but does look quite low. There are a few build threads which have made mods to the armor to better fit with height https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/38416-crickets-rs-stunt-build-for-the-vertically-challenged/ https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/38842-fragarocks-rs-stunt-build-not-to-scale/ https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/42868-sha-shas-wtf-anh-stunt-build-complete/ For the posterior you may be able to add extra strapping more towards the front edges OR add some V tabs With a heat gun (or in oven) you bend strips of ABS plastic into the shape of a V, only glue one side and the other remains free to allow movement when you bend. Just helps stop the butt plate from pushing back from the back plate. A couple of adjustments you could make. Bring your belt up a little more at the front. The top of the ABS belt shall sit at or just above the bottom of the central and vertical ab button panels. A slight overlap is suggested, but not required. Looks like your gloves have folded over or it may be your sleeves, again hard to see. These are just suggestions and not required for base approval. For Level 3, Drop boxes are vertically aligned with the end of the ammo belt with minimal gap between belt and box. For Level 3, the corners of the plastic ammo belt shall be trimmed at a 45 degree angle that meets the outer edge of the cloth belt.

Please forgive the noob question. About 20 years ago, I obtained a Gerardo Fallano movie suit kit (not the armor fx but the one he cast from Matt Gauthier (trooperexpert on the RPF) So this poor thing has been sitting in a box for a long time. I decided it’s time to build it. I’ve been reading 20 years of updates and one thing the old kits never had were the cover strips on the arm leg seams. (Older armor kits just provided enough space to overlap at the seams) The problem is sourcing a matching plastic sheet for this ancient kit. I tried the trooperbay strips but they really don’t match. This old kit is more bluish white than warm white. I imagine I will have the same problem all around. Probably not too much I can do about it. Does anyone have any advice? Suggestions? Is this kit possibly worth anything to anyone. It’s got a good lineage and it’s beautiful.

Take note there are some details which you would also need to address for a Shock Trooper which are different from the ANH Stunt/Hero or ESB troopers. https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_shocktrooper A white flexible U shaped gasket or molded lip shall be present around all edges. A separate kidney/butt plate is not allowed - the kidney and butt plate shall be combined/fused to a single plate/one piece. The crotch tab of the butt plate area may or may not have visible snaps. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Belt does not have rivet covers. Two rivets are visible on either end of the belt. There is no center rivet present. Plastic ammo belt has square corners not 45 degree cuts. For L2 and above Overlap construction must be used. Butt joints and cover strips are not allowed. Blaster L3 Forward D-ring is mounted underneath the front sight on the left side of the barrel. Use of the correct front sight (which differs from ANH and ESB). The scope rail is unique to ROTJ E11 and is not like the normal open ANH/ESB scope rails, but is a solid, one piece, with a unique sight design on the front. The scope connects to the notched out area of the solid rail. The scope is the correct design (as seen in ROTJ), and will attach to the scope rail via one scope mount. The muzzle is unlike the normal ANH style. It is flat with two counter sunk Allen bolts (one located at the four o’clock position and one located at the ten ‘o’clock position). The door catch is correct, not a "close enough" attempt as seen on the Cinemastery blaster.

Hello and welcome aboard, here's my way of getting straight lines: First I like to mark trim lines with a pencil, easy to rub off again. Being ATA it is a little thicker ABS than most other armor so I like to use a rotary tool with a cutting disk to roughly trim. Time for the first cut For those pieces having cover strips added, arms/biceps 15mm, thighs/shin fronts 20mm and backs 25mm, divide by 2 and you have how far you need to trim from the outside ridge. Here is the first thigh so 1/2 of 20mm is 10mm, so measure from the curve section ends on the top of the ridge by 10mm. I like to use a steel ruler and clamps to get a nice straight line. As this is a build for Jerry I'm going to leave some extra material on the backs of pieces for a test fitting, I prefer to have the fronts a standard size and adjust the rears if needed, you can always trim off but it's hard to add on . I like to use a sanding drum attachment to get excess ABS off. Also go around all the edges with some fine sandpaper to get rid of any sharp edges, you don't want "armor bites" Then to get those lines really straight a long sanding block. Normally I would trim everything in one go but due to some issues with my hands I find it's easier to take a break from trimming and do some assembly. On to assembling the thighs, I use some painters tape and clamps to fit the pieces together to make sure they align well top and bottom. Then tape across the centres to pull them together. You can then lay a piece of tape down the length of the inside of the thigh. Pull off the outside tape and make sure you rough up the pieces with some sandpaper where the cover strips will fit. Time to make some cover strips. I like to use one long ruler and another to measure widths, mark with a pencil, then score down 3 or 4 times, you can then snap the piece off. Lay the cover strip on top of thigh and mark then trim length and round the corners to take away the sharp edge. When you are happy you can then add some E6000 glue down the middle of the cover strip, spread with some scrap ABS and with clamps and magnets apply to thigh. I also like to use painters tape on any sections that don't pull down quite enough. As I said earlier I won't be gluing the backs until we have had a trial fit. Not going to bore you will assembling every single piece, besides when I'm on a roll I tend to forget to take photos Continue with the other thigh, then shins, biceps and then forearms. Just make sure you have the correct width cuts and matching cover strips.

Hi Chris, Most measurements when provided are still only a guide. Arms usually 15mm is the average yes, but if a mm or 2 are going to make the difference then that is usually ok. No one will get a ruler out and try and scale your images. As an example, some make the front cover strips as close as possible, (mine are actually 16mm wide) and on the rear they make them slightly wider if they need extra room. Thigh cover strips are around 15 - 20, and some have wider on the rear again for extra width if needed. My Ab plate buttons are definitely raised, although only around 3mm. I don't think there will be an issue with yours, but let's see if one of our Deployment officers chimes in with some input. More importantly, your armour needs to fit you well. Proportion to match the wearer is a common sense approach we have always taken, and we have troopers of all sizes in the detachment. Yours looks to fit you well, and only a couple of small dressing adjustments need to be done if you were to take photos for our next level Expert infantry.

If you are interested in a read there are a few threads on sizing and larger cover strips

Normally if required we add bigger cover strips on the rear as the public don't see our backs that much, as long as they aren't HUGE, if they are too big it's better splitting the sizing over front and back. I would fill the ridge area rather than using 15 mm on the rear if your ridges are wider. Align the bottoms of pieces as you can trim the tops to suit.

Thank you! So I have them fitted , and front ridges are good but the back ridge is bigger then my front , I am going to try and glue tomorrow. is it a huge deal if that back ridge is a little different from the front ridge? As long as both have 15mm cover strips? If so I’ll have to order new forearms. I misunderstood the first thing I read about sizing. lastly, when I line these up , to the tops parts matching there is excess material on the bottom. When I line up the bottoms there is excess at top. I can post photos tomorrow, but what do people usually line up and what side is trimmed ? Thanks again you’ve been a big help!

Red wraps/bandages must be Chiffon material in similar colour and distressed as per references.

Oh ok I see so assuming this is the shape that fits you you shouldn't need backing cover strips. In fact that would make them slightly tighter. If you look at what I did my cover strips don't perfectly cover the ridged edges of the armor. It allowed me to go for a more 17-20mm cover strip without it looking too bulky. My biceps weren't much smaller than yours in your picture so I understand what you're working with. The other thing I did to cheat some more room was taking a heat gun and reforming the armor to the shape of my biceps. If I remember correctly I had to squeeze the sides laterally and it gave me significantly more room. Just definitely take it very slow and there's never a good outcome when rushing a heat gun. If you don't have one now I'd get one because you'll definitely be using it for other parts. I remember I got frustrated with my left bicep because it got a bit wonky after the heat gun and wouldn't close properly after reforming it. Luckily E6000 is pure magic and it's a great shape now. Hope that helps Lastly get ready for some challenges when you get to the shins. Join the WTF FB page and Walt recently did a good shin video explanation on how they fit Also our Hard Armor forum is excellent for these kinds of questions if you have more down the road: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/29-hard-armor-general-discussion/

-- EDIT 08/31/2022-- Future Jason here, I just wanted to provide this colorful edit to help explain how I'm going to handle additions to this original post. Initially, I was striking out verbiage as it was written, then adding new text, but it was getting messy. I will continue using strike through text whenever I remove something from the existing CRL, but will follow that up with red text indicating the agreed upon change. Of note, I will try not to make any of these changes unless it's captured in this conversation, but I am receiving input from detachment leadership in addition to what's captured here. If anything ever appears in the CRL text below that a person does not recall discussing, please let us know so the discussion can continue. What I absolutely refuse to do is create ambiguous text, or what I refer to as a "moving target CRL." Any edits to my original post will be written in yellow so you can follow the changes easier; I will also date any revision/ edit. So again, CRL changes/ additions in red instructions/ original post edits in yellow. Thanks, TK-51923 Fellow TKs. After several discussions regarding the inclusion of Remnant Stormtroopers, as seen in The Mandalorian seasons 1 and 2 into the Databank, we have decided to move forward with the creation of a CRL. The goal in developing this thread is to create a CRL specific to the heavily weathered Remnants serving Werner Herzog's "The Client" as well as those seen in Season 2 episode 7 The Believer, working in the rhydonium refinery on the planet Morak. For previous discussion on this topic, please see the following thread: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/48305-new-anthology-tk-crl/ Additionally, for reference, please see the following picture: Additionally, since we have several new references to draw from since the creation of the original Rogue One TK CRL and it's subsequent revision in 2020, this thread will also serve to address revisions to the current ROTK CRL and the potential creation of a separate CRL for the New Generation/ Anthology TK. Discussions are ongoing regarding how to handle this generation of TK armor that has become synonymous with the Anthology films and various Disney+ series. This includes the existing ROTK, which could be renamed, receive additional variations, remain unchanged, or none of the above. However, one item that has been emphasized to me from detachment staff is that we have to clearly show that this is a unique set of armor without stating "it's dirty." Additionally, we have found several instances in which items were either missing, broken, or taped together by the costume department for the respective productions; these discrepancies will not be included in any new CRL or revisions to existing CRLs. The goal of this thread is to identify the unique attributes of the costume that are uniform throughout all of it's appearances in Anthology films and Disney+ productions, not to capture broken or missing items. Things that will not be considered: broken thigh armor, drop boxes tucked into the thighs or missing altogether, missing TDs, and "$#1++y wardrobe dressing or stunt men with gaffer tape." I'm not going to say who's quote that was. With that said, we obviously have an ANH OT bucket resting atop Rogue One style armor. These are on prominent display, but there's other unique characteristics as well. This is our opportunity to post them up and start hashing out the details. Please take a look at the aforementioned thread, but I also intend on posting several of the pictures here. To get started, I will post the verbiage from our current ROTK CRL, and include the wording from the ANH Stunt helmet. I will continue updating everything as we go along and highlight any changes in red. Additionally, even though this isn't a New Generation/ Anthology CRL, we need to capture anything in the New Generation gear that hasn't been covered previously. If there's new things that have been discovered, please post them.

Hello, I just got a submission and noticed the back strips of the thighs are very wide.
