There is a thread for those going to celebration but unfortunately it is in the 501st member area of the forum so you won't be able to access it. We do have a couple of FISD staff who will also be attending. There are group photos mainly on the Sunday both FISD and the 501st photos will be taken. RL 11.30am FISD 1.30pm 501st at 2pm JRS 2.30pm Spec Ops 3pm The group photo area is outside (location A), so no ticket/badge is required. However, if you are wearing a costume, it is likely that the changing room is inside the venue, so you will need a ticket/badge to get in and re-entry. JB weld adhesives and putties are also sold in my country. I expect that there will be many modifications to the armor build, not just this upper arm part, but in various other places. To do this, I feel that more information on adhesives and putties is needed. Thank you for your valuable information. I also appreciate you informing me of the activity schedule of each detachment, including the 501st, regarding SWCJ2025. 1 Quote

I had a dream of receiving the 501st's approval before SWCJ2025, but it didn't come true. However, even if it's a slow pace, I'm happy that I feel like the completion of my armor is getting better by completing the work steadily. 1 Quote
hiro2501 Posted March 30, 2025 Author Report Posted March 30, 2025 (edited) I am currently working on the chest plate and upper arm parts. In my case, I don't need the optional Level 3 certification at this point. However, since the chest is in a prominent position in the whole armor, I plan to make holes and line it with black fabric this time to ensure that the finish meets the highest possible standard. Also, the initial hot cut edges of each part are obviously rough and not smooth, so I plan to fix them as I go. This is the current state of the front and back of the chest. Should I shave off the 6 small holes until they form a smoother curve? Edited March 30, 2025 by hiro2501 1 Quote
