It is amazing how much you can achieve once you get in the groove

Been a long few days but feeling accomplished. Have to do the kidney and butt plate still, but making progress !

🤔 I’m struggling with the shoulders. To get them closer and minimizing the gap between them and the chest piece. ALL top padding is out The helmet is directly on my head. Just have some padding on the sides to help it move with my head. So it won’t go lower than this sadly… need to shop my giraffe neck off a bit 😢 (the angle of the photo may make it look even worse. I’ll get some help this weekend to take some better ones. Maybe with legs too then)

Whoopie pie festival. Rutland, Vermont 9.14.24

A quick dress up. I know I have a long way to go and it was super hard taking a photo of yourself on timer and in suit 😂 But still feel it’s on the right direction!

Troop 22: Small But Mighty 10th Anniversary Childhood Cancer Gold Walk in Saskatoon 14Sep24 I passed on three previous troops as they were all very short and a long drive to get to. I was also going to pass on this one for the same reason then we learned that the only other major troop in the province that was to be held the last weekend of the month was cancelled by the organizer. I was already missing everyone so decided I would make the troop regardless of it being just two hours long. It might now be the last troop of the year for me as our local GEC wants to step back from the roll and I don't know who will be able to fill his boots to pull much else off before the end of the year. I'm not entirely happy about this news at all. The floor covering in this gym was like a minefield. Every step we had to make sure we weren't hooking ourselves under parts of it and doing a face plant. Thankfully no injuries. We were at this event to be another activity for the kids and families to do. We did a photo booth and a small droid hunt. Most of the activities were contained in a school gym. I don't really need to say it was fun but I will say anyway that it was fun! They all are! All photos by Tim Edwin Paul. I think this one is telling my counterpart lies. He wants to be let go: After navigating the floor for two hours the steps up to the trailer deck were easy: The crew that came out for it. I wasn't going to let the prisoner get away again: So maybe another troop at the end of October if I can fit it in my busy October month otherwise.... hard to say when the chance will come again.

48. Flower City Comic Con, 15 September 2024 One of our members bought a very nicely designed white lightsaber with black trim (perfect TK colors!) which I had to pose with: Question: Is this a Jawa problem, or a droid problem?

My question is are the inside of the forearms supposed to look different or trimmed to the same “u” shape. I have them trimmed to where the flash was. Normally the right and left sides are a different shape/size, same as screen suits Also, the bottom cod piece of very bland and no hard lines to see where to exactly shape it too, I have a rough pencil marking for now but curious any tips or tricks. Trim line looks fine Bicep with the thumb print goes on the left arm NOTES ON BICEPS: In the original films, many of the biceps had an indentation, or "thumbprint" (normally worn only on the left) on the inside. As the biceps are interchangeable, this is not a requirement for any level. You can take off all the return edge on the shoulder bells if you wish too Swoop on the shoulder bells goes to the front Note: For ANH S/H and ESB as mentioned in the CRL for basic approval, shoulder bells are interchangeable. However, note that many (but not all of) the originals contained a "swoop" (slight curvature on one side) at the bottoms, which should ideally face the front. Some armor makers have incorporated this detail into their molds, but some have not and many times troopers get them backward. This is not a requirement at any level. <--- Front References to other WTF forearm builds Found from searching that the left forearms have a slight curve to it while the right is more straight Left Wrist Left Elbow Sorry if I've missed anything.

Thank you! [74] 07.09.2024 -- Annotopia Rotenburg an der Fulda, Saturday Two months without trooping?! Good to be back in white plastic after that break! Exactly three years after my approval as a 501st Stormtrooper I got to troop an event that's, well, it's basically my first ever troop, but at a different location. Crazy coincidence! With the help of CC-75367 and TK-19525 this was made possible, so thank you both! The weekend turned into a very hot experience, so we weren't out and about too much, rather seeking out our cooled changing room and water bottles. After I'd already gotten a sunstroke only a few weeks earlier I still hadn't recovered fully and a relapse wouldn't be welcomed. Although StarWars isn't a main focus of the event in any way, shape or form, the visitors loved interacting with both us, as well as the local clubs that were there. Especially whilst escorting Han Solo around the premises we gained a lot of attention -- and even had some escape attempts when his fellow Rebels spotted our prisoner. [75] 08.09.2024 -- Annotopia Rotenburg an der Fulda, Sunday Starting the day off strong, we immediately headed to the playground after the parade to have some fun fooling around, taking pictures and videos. For someone who'd claimed on Saturday morning that it was impossible for him to sit in his armor, TK-19525 adapted quickly and joined us in all sorts of shenanigans -- everything from the swings to a sand ceremony with our Tusken got explored and enjoyed. With better temperatures on Sunday we walked around a lot more, found a second playground and explored other costuming groups and their booths. The Annotopia is great in that it had just about everything: post-apocalyptic role play, zombies, orcs, trolls, superheroes... whatever you could think of that is fun, interactive and in character, it is there and it fits there. I became a zombie myself during our exploration, but luckily there were experts there who could help out. A bit of a random part of the event was where they'd organized a Wolverine/Hugh Jackman double to perform various songs on stage. But as confused as we'd originally been, the double was really, really close to what I've seen of Hugh Jackman so far and I very much regret not getting a better picture of him than the vastly zoomed in one I took of him on the stage. All in all a pretty fun weekend with some fantastic company! And given that it was my first weekend since finishing exams, I couldn't help but really really enjoy every minute of it. Note to self: two months is too long a time to go without trooping. [76] 14.09.2024 -- TimeWarp Braunschweig, Day 1 Why have one trooping weekend, if you could have two? Welcome to the day that I mostly spent behind the camera! The TimeWarp retro convention was held for the first time ever with a handful of vendors, a few star guests and a small, but steady stream of visitors gracing it's halls. We started off by touring around the area and spending a bit of money (I got a 1960's Batman comic!) on various merchandise. Having seen everything and with it being CX-37202's first troop in his Tech, we decided to show off this masterpiece. He'd spent two years bringing that armor to a seldom seen perfection, including working gadgets and lots and lots of electronics. With there being lots of space in our changing area it was the perfect opportunity to take different types of pictures -- everything from the Clone Bar on Coruscant to action scenes in Imperial facilities to dramatic chip removals from other Clones. I probably should've switched my phone to a professional camera and my armor into clothes with actual mobility at some point of this spontaneous photoshooting, but neither did any of us have a camera with us, nor did I think of changing. Oh well, we still got some incredible pictures out of it! And after the troop (and, yes, some more public appearances outside of the changing room as well) (and an armor switch, because I actually really love wearing Clone armor) we'd all gone for a nice joined meal, beat, but ready for Day 2. [77] 15.09.2024 -- TimeWarp Braunschweig, Day 2 Day 2 started off better than day 1, with us fooling around with the crew and with Deadpool and all the other cosplayers, instead of sticking mostly to our own as we'd done the previous day. There still wasn't too much foottraffic -- and they'd have deserved lots more visitors, cause it's a really cool convention -- but the people who were there enjoyed our shenanigans as much as we did ourselves. As a joke TK-71384 suggested that we should join the world championship happening at the convention (it was about cassette tape, so it would've been a pretty harmless joke, if a televised one). What started as a joke ended with our Sandtrooper as the new world champion, our pilot in third place and TK-19525 in second place! Congratulations! Now, that deserves FISD kudos! It's not every day that one of our own wins a world championship, and in full armor no less. What started as a fantastic day suddenly turned into one of my most depressing moments in armor in a matter of seconds. I'd been posing on this horse as a kid started up the mechanism, making me loose my hold and get an irreparable crack in my codpiece. My armor is pretty old and has been through a lot over these past few years, so I'm going to have to get myself new armor soon. Lucky for me, with some emergency repairs and lots of helpful advice from my fellow troopers, the armor should hold up for a couple more troops, I'll just have to be more careful. Maybe I should leave the horseriding to Deadpool in the future, he seems to be more of a natural in it. That heartbreak aside it was a really cool troop and I very much hope that they'll do another one of these next year! TK-66744 signing off

Hit my first milestone of 10 troops in my TK. Trooper Log Below Could I please request the milestone badge for my profile? Cheers

Hello and welcome to the forum. There is quite a lot of info in the FOBG (first order battle group) https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/188-captain-phasma-tfa-and-tlj/ but also on the Facebook group which may be of help https://www.facebook.com/groups/1654472361474254 One supplier was Jim Tripon Jimmiroquai, he has a build thread on RPF, unfortunately the forum won't allow a direct link, here is the address and other links in his thread There are differences between the TFA and TLJ so make sure you read both CRL's (costume reference library) before deciding. I've not seen any full files for Phasma but again check out the Facebook group.

Not a tutorial quite but here is my final cut. It JUST barely fits my head and I've considered trimming it wider myself. See how it compares to yours
