Hello Daniel,

 

Welcome to FISD.

 

Just wondering where are you from, you might want to rethink your choice of under suit for the summer, the heat gear type might cause exhaustion under the sun since the armor will trap your body heat inside.

Welcome to FISD!

 

Im guessing your a UK member? If so make sure you head over to the UK Garrison and get your WIP thread going over there too as its a requirement of the clearance process. 
 

 

Good luck trooper.

The UK, I believe the heat gear name is the one for the thin stuff that keeps you cool. It’s the cold gear you don’t want as that stuff makes you SWEAT! ;)

Welcome to the true home of shiny white armor, Daniel!  As Chris mentioned, a build thread will be your best friend on your TK journey.  You can (and should) post as many questions as you like along with LOTS of photos of your progress!  This also allows you to get advice for any issues that may arise, (we all had them).  One thing I always suggest is that during your build, if you are unsure about something always, always ask before cutting or gluing and include a pic of the area in question.  Trust me.

There are a ton of great folks in the UKG, and depending on your location there may be someone who can help you on a local level, so I would recommend adding the city you live in to your FISD account setting.

We are here for ya', and I look forward to watching your progress!

If by WIP you mean "work in progress" in regards to the build thread I suggest doing it here on the FISD and the UKG site.  We have a lot of knowledgeable people here, and so do they.  All of us are more than ready to help in any way we can.
