MaskedVengeance Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) This is an All-In-One compilation of various resources for ANH Stunt Stormtrooper builds which will hopefully be helpful to prospective troopers as you get started and begin your research. Many TKs over many years have spent countless hours documenting their tips, tutorials, and builds, and this index includes posts and links which have been helpful on my own journey to the 501st. Printable PDF documents are included with select posts. This index will be updated as additional resources are created and identified by troopers helping troopers. 501st Legion Links: 501st Legion - Member Application 501st Legion - Available IDs 501st Legion - Garrison/Outpost World Map TK ANH Stunt CRL FISD Forums Getting Started - Read This First ANH (Stunt & Hero) Forum Tutotials, Tips, and How-Tos Getting Started Forum Pinned Threads (selection) Various Types of Armor by Daetrin Common FISD Acronyms & Glossary by justjoseph63 Steps to Join the Legion by Dark CMF Cost of a Stormtrooper by Dday Supply Lists OT TK Supply List by justjoseph63 (Print PDF) List of Soft Parts by justjoseph63 Build Tips and Resources Quick Reference Guide OT TKs by justjoseph63 (Print PDF) Armor Party 101 by justjoseph63 Return Edges 101 by justjoseph63 (Print PDF) Paint Color Guide by themaninthesuitcase Billgrams One Stop Shop (some diagrams may be outdated) Magnets 101 by justjoseph63 (Print PDF) Butt-joining Armor by ZacMuleer Sanding Before Gluing by Shinyarmour1 Make Heat Gun Return Edges by pandatrooper Making ABS Paste by kman (Print PDF) Resize Armor with ABS Scaps & Paste by Harbinger (Print PDF) Armor for Bigger Troopers by ELP Altering Armor for Shorter Troopers: See Cricket's builds (WTF, RS Props) ATA Armor Sizing by Thrawndike bar V-Tabs for Kidney & Butt by gmrhodes13, Cricket's implementation Kidney Plate Shimming by Bullseye Fix Back Plate Kidney Overlap by A.J.

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 This... is... phenomenal! The amount of work that has gone into this borders on OCD, (which is what I love about it) . GREAT job, Caleb! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MaskedVengeance Posted June 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Thanks for the kind words, friends! My hope is that other new builders (or perhaps veterans too) will find this a helpful resource for their TK journey. It represents much of the information that I've compiled for my own build, and I thought I'd pass it along! Aspiring Troopers helping aspiring Troopers! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LightBox Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 This is such an amazing, organized and detailed list. This will be extremely helpful to so many people. Much appreciated, thank you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Erice3339[TK] Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 Amazing job. I can not only imagine how much time it took to compile but also how much time future recruits will spend using it. I, for one, would have spent much time coming back to this thread. Any chance this might be pinned? Regardless, great work on it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If definitely took a long time to compile, and it will ever be a work-in-progress to update as I continue to come across other resources. As for pinning, I believe that is up to certain staff members, and I've recently seen @Daetrin and @Ripper_L take such action, though I'm not sure what the criteria are. Either way, I'm glad this thread will be helpful to future builders! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ripper_L[Admin] Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 There's no specific criteria we follow. But this thread here is definitely worth pinning! Thanks a lot for the hard work! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MaskedVengeance Posted January 20 Author Report Share Posted January 20 Troopers! Just a quick note to remind everybody that I'm always on the lookout for new informative resources to add to this thread, so if you spot something not listed that may be helpful, send it my way! I definitely want to harness the hive mind for the ultimate goal of troopers helping troopers! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
