jacketrat[501st] Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 Hey Guys. I was wondering if somebody could point me in the right direction. My friend has an FX stormtrooper. He hasn't trooped in three years. And because of that, he's considered retired from the 501st membership. He wants to get active again, but now he's TK doesn't meet the CRL requirement. Is it possible to modify his existing costume to bring it back up to 501st standards? And if so, can you direct me to the link or mod page, so I figure out how to get this project started? Quote
oh58mech[501st] Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 Not only approvable, but up to EIB! http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?/topic/12478-HOWTO:-Easily-make-your-FX-Armor-EIB-acceptable Quote
Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 The short list to replace (I think): Helmet Belt Holster Ab buttons And cut the kidney and butt plate to make two parts. Did I miss anything from the CRL? -Eric Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted September 4, 2014 Report Posted September 4, 2014 No, you got it spot on. From the neck down, it should take about $50 and a few hours of work. At least, that's how we designed it to be, so that there really was no excuse from any FX trooper from going EI. The helmet though has to be replaced in toto. Also, for many older kits it was normal to rivet the shoulder bridges to the chest/back. If you've done this, you need to drill out the rivets and replace the shoulder bridges. 1 Quote

For basic approval (the OP's question) grody rivets are allowable. Sadly. But like Paul said... If you're redoing an FX anyways... Why not go EIB -Eric Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
Cbass59 Posted October 11, 2016 Report Posted October 11, 2016 Looking at getting an FX kit tomorrow. I appreciate the thread as I have seen very little on fx kits. Quote
