Fellow Troopers, I started my build 3 years ago, and finally as of 3/6/24, I am finally approved. Doing my 1st official troop on 3/21 or 3/22 and can't wait.

New to the forum, eager to build TIE Pilot armor and learn a ton here. Thank you!

Fun! Currently have: Stormtrooper ANH Stunt Han Solo ANH cosplay Kylo Ren cosplay Imperial Officer cosplay Starting to look into TIE Pilot armor Partner has: Hoth Leia cosplay Ahsoka Tano cosplay Hoping to build a jawa cosplay but it's daunting

Hello and welcome to the forum, for Tie Pilot info head to JRS forum

Came to ask this same thing! Thank you.

Congratulations Jason! You'll always remember your first Troop. A useful link by Joseph to read through. Remember you can keep record here at FISD with a troop log. https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/13-field-training-exercises/ Have fun Trooperx

Good evening members of the FISD, I'd like to thank you for having the confidence in me to fill the role of Detachment Leader. This is not the way any of us would want to be taking this station. Joseph has been an important part of this detachment for as long as I have been here. He embodies Troopers Helping Troopers, and has never shied away from helping others. He was a natural choice for DL. Sadly personal circumstances have made that impossible for him. I wish him the best in this difficult time he finds him self in. Andrew Franke @Sly11 has agreed to step in as XO. His experience is undeniable, and will be a welcome boost as I catch up with this term. Other positions will remain unchanged at this time. Having been thrown in at the deep end my priority is to get a plan for the term up and running. Wheels had already started to turn on a number of projects, though most of which are not ready to share yet. This said I do want to take a fresh look at the year, looking at any carry over from the last term and coming up with a final plan for the year. With unquestioned loyalty. Chris Detachment Leader

Thank you, Chris & Andrew. We’re still in great hands. I wish Joseph all the best.

Just a quick update, still gluing the arm pieces together, I'm taking it slowly and doing inside seams also for added strength. I also finally fixed both the eyes so the lenses will be closer now. Not exactly easy but worth it in the end. Just had to make a quick template then cut and glue in place. fill the gap with abs paste, sand and then paint using Mr Colour gloss white followed by Mr Colour thinner to give it that nice smooth texture. I don't really want to do anything like that again, it's a pain in the a very impolite person to do. As far as the decals go I think I might do hand painted after seeing Cableguy's youtube tutorials. I only just found out he passed away Also I probably might end up just doing a sandtrooper instead of converting it after. Please don't hate me oh shiny ones.

They came up well, nice job. You may however need to extend them just a little, the inner corners, as the ridge comes to the ends of the cut out area BUT in saying that your GML may not even notice them. Just trimming the added ridges straight could be enough. With finer sandpaper (wet and dry) I use water with a drop of dish washing liquid, helps the sandpaper to glide and doesn't clog as quickly

"The Vintage Collection Captain Enoch & Thrawn's Night Troopers" announced for pre-order. Link here Some nice variation in this set. Really like the box art. Not sure if these can be used as reference but thought it was worth the share. (Peep the belt trimming)

TK-89400 requesting the 100 level.

Thank you all for the links, references & support. Will start a build thread shortly.
