Be very careful with Sheev's Emporium. He is very happy to communicate whilst closing an order and taking your money. But goes into hiding when you need to chase up an order.

OK, this donation is done now. Thanks. Bart

Ah, ok, I didn't realize there were two different fundraisers. I was thinking about the one on the 501st side. I'll get on this one too. Thanks. Bart

Hi Bart! Are you referring to the Legion fundraiser linked below? If so, this initiative on FISD is separate from that one, and is related to the monthly expense of email service for FISD. Member have the opportunity to contribute to both or either campaign. This particular FISD drive began only two days ago on 19 March 2024. https://www.501st.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=113646

Emails are essential to engagement on these forums and ensuring effective communication and participation isn't limited to Staff (nor should they shoulder the financial burden alone), so it is well worth my $2. Please also share this initiative to the Detachment Facebook group for maximum visibility. Donated! Transaction ID: 7EG23686BV506164A

This is so exciting seeing all of these builds come together! Since I'm starting a Captain Enoch build for my husband, I figured I'd post it here so that I could get assistance and also offer any assistance I can as we work to complete this costume and CRL. I really liked the layout of @Lidocaine build thread here, so forgive me, I stole it to be the format for mine as well. I'll come back and update and edit and fill in blank spots as I get those resources pinned down. Helmet: Resin printed by a friend of mine, he's actually looking to sell finished helmets and raw kits, I'll have him finish his listing and link it here . Edited to add hyperlink to kit. Neck Seal: It looks to be a R1 neck seal and undersuit but in a different color, so I may reach out to Jim and see if he's interested in making his undersuit/neck seal in this color for Enoch. Undersuit: see above Belt/Kama/Holster: The friend who printed the helmet for me is also a leatherworker, so we are going to work on the leather parts, I'm still searching for a source for soft parts. I've reached out to Sheev's Emporium and Geeky Pink's Phantastic Gaskets, but I've not heard back from either so far. If that changes, I'll edit this to reflect that, or a friend and I will be working to try and recreate it ourselves. Chest/Back: Since the consensus is that these are custom, I'm going to be printing Galactic Armory's Captain Enoch armor 3d print files Arms/Legs/Abd: I'm getting the rest of this armor from Jim Tripon Gloves: I saw it mentioned that these also might just be recolored R1TK gloves, if this ends up being the case I'll add this to the list of soft parts to see if I can get made. Handguards: Thinking that they are the same as the R1 suits, just with the custom coloring. Included with the 850 armor. Boots: Just going to order a pair from Crowprops or KeepTrooping, anyone have any thoughts/preferences on either? Blaster: One of the threads I've read mentioned this blaster , any thoughts on if this is indeed the correct one? If so I will order this one. Both myself and my husband are absolute perfectionists, so I want to build this correctly, which is why I'm documenting it here and on my IG, I want to be able to correct course as I work to make this perfect, and I absolutely welcome your feedback as I build this. Now to go make a build thread for my Night Trooper build since I'll be doing these simultaneously.

Greetings troopers! For a while now FISD has been hosted on the Legion web servers who cover our hosting costs along side those of the Legion. We do still have costs we cover ourselves, the big one being the email service. Over the last few years this has been generously paid for by members of staff, who have already covered a chunk of this year. In order to fully fund the email service we need to raise $150 to keep the emails going until the end of the term. We would like to let as many of you contribute as possible, so we are asking for a $2 donation towards the running costs from any members who are in a position to do so. Now you might be asking what do I get out of this? First we all get emails! You also get the warm feeling of knowing you are a trooper helping troopers. All members who donate will also have the 2024 supporter banner added to their profile. We are now funded, thank you to all of you who donated. With Unquestioned Loyalty, Your FISD staff team

Just wait for @MaskedVengeance to verify.

Update: All armor parts are trimmed. Next is sanding all edges for a smooth glueing experience. One forearm and abs plate is already glued. Arms and legs fit really good, dont have to extra trim or add shims

Yes, I've noticed that. That's why I'm going to just print it myself along with the back plate. GA has a decent file, and I'm going to use Armorsmith to scale it to my husband's proportions and make it look correct on him. That's going to be one of my tougher tasks.

You're all good, Arthur! Donation received!

Thanks, Glen! Those all line up so nicely!

Thanks so much

Some WTF EIB approved references to compare with

Hard choice

Thank you to all of you who have jumped on this so quickly and keeping the Imperial machine running. I've applied your supporter badges for all of you who have donated so far.

Badge looks so spiffy. Thanks for the early rollout.

Troop 48 Toronto , Ontario March 17, 2024 Toronto Comicon 2024 Day 3 This was the final day of the con and was again a lot of fun despite being exhausted and sore. We were visited at the booth by Roger Christian (Set decorator Episode 4 , Second Unit Director Episode 1 and 7). Always great to see Roger. He is very down to earth and loves to share his stories. Total donations raised for Make A Wish were around $5,500.

Troop 47 Toronto , Ontario March 16, 2024 Toronto Comicon 2024 Day 2 Day 2 started bright and early and was again a very fun day. We were visited by Denis Lawson (Wedge Antilles), Eman Esfandi (Esra Bridger - Ahsoka ) and Diana Lee Inosanto (Morgan Elisabeth - Ahsoka). All were amazing,y friendly and excited to visit us at the booth. My son also trooped with me in his scout costume.

Troop 46 Toronto , Ontario March 15, 2024 Toronto Comicon 2024 Day 1 This was the first of a 3 day troop and my first troop at a con as part of the garrison command staff. It was fun to see things from the organization side of the con as well. We had a great auction with 3 lightsabers, a citizen Star Wars watch, 6 Rsvlts Star Wars shirts and many other items thanks to generous donations from vendors. I didn’t manage many photos this day but served as a target for blast a trooper.

Event: #190 Event Name: PARP (Pick A Read Partner) Location: Oceanside School 6 - Oceanside, NY Date: 3/11/24

Assume LEDs in lenses would be an option? I don’t see any reason to have it as a separate CRL. Likewise, Enoch has enough overlap with the night troopers that I wonder if that should also fall under FISD, e.g. Phasma.
