The FISD costume reference library is the definitive resource for what is required for 501st approval. If you want to make it removable and not wear it after approval, by all means do so. Heck I run around in red flowery board shorts dancing hula (poorly) Check with your local garrison before an official trooping. They may have an opinion. Post up the screen capture in question if you can. Aloha, -Eric

Yep. For ANH stunt and hero you need a holster for basic 501st approval. Check the TK CRLs on the 501st website. Aloha, -Eric

Ask away. That's why we're here. PM or post on your build thread -Eric

Aaron, See this thread for a post of mine. I can measure the thickness of the padding Rob puts in if you like, but really you can put any sort of padding you want. His helmets are scaled up a bit in size to be in proportion to the RT-MOD suit not scaled up for a larger head. After having personally fondling an both an AP and TE2 in comparison to my RT-MOD, I firmly believe that any helmet will fit a big giant melon with modifications. Aloha, -Eric

You say tennis shoe... I say sneaker. You say pop I say soda... Or tonic.... Or coke. You say biscuit... I say cookie. Bonnet, boot, trunk, hood, and Alice. I like TD because it's less to type -Eric

Got proof? -Eric

Yeah man. TM, AP, ATA will all work for you nicely. I'll say this again again... Outside of people always asking me to get stuff off the top shelf... And a bruised and lumpy cranium.. Being tall only sucks when you want to be a screen accurate stormtrooper Aloha! -Eric

Sparkfun.com Hey skyone: any chance you'd post you would "release" your code as you go? Maybe under the BPL? (blaster public license) -Eric

What do you want to know about RT-MOD specificially? There are at least 3 active RT build threads going on right now. I suggest checking those out too. How tall are you? If you're not a taller (or slightly larger) trooper RT isn't the way to go. Aloha, -Eric

The original suits had white elastic connecting the chest and back: If you're going for Centurion it's a requirement: Chest and back shall be connected with a white fabric or preferably elastic strap at the shoulders. Aloha, -Eric

Is your neckseal dyed? Looks like the same stuff that comes off the leather palms of my nomes gloves. Aloha, -Eric

Interesting... I'm seeing the same thing. I guess I rarely ever change my prefs for new content... but the problem is only in the FISD 2012 skin. Chrome/mac here. However if it works using one of the other skins... and if I change it a 2011 skin and go back to 2012... it stays at the choice I made in 2011. Hmm Lucas... did I do something to the 2012 skin when I added tapatalk? -Eric

On the bottom left of the page there lies a "Mark Community Read" link. Lemme know if that works for you. I tend to use the "new since last visit" option in when I click for new content rather than unread. Aloha, -Eric

Yes... Um... Do you have a moment? The staff has been meaning to have a word... Actually two words with you....

Did anyone else read the title as "calves turning me on"? No? No one? Crap.. I need help

Wacky. I found it by searching using one of the following: stormtrooper, FISD, imperial. What are you searching on? I can add it to the description so people can find it more easily. Aloha, -Eric

Tapatalk is now enabled for the FISD forums. Let me know in this thread if you experience problems with it. Aloha, -Eric

Vern... How long be your AP belt? -Eric

I am thinking of replacing my RT belt with an ATA... Seems like the most readily available of all. How long is your ATA belt? I would like to measure where it will sit on my oversized RT frame. Aloha and thanks, -Eric

The rubber gloves aren't fun on a hot day either

Karin... is it possible that you set the zoom www.whitearmor.net once by accident and didn't know it? Now that the URL has changed from forum.whitearmor.net to www.whitearmor.net chrome may remember the zoom setting. Check out this page that talks about zoom settings for a particular site... or try control-plus and control-minus right now Aloha, -Eric

Fascinating Mathias. I don't know why it never dawned on me to use Terry's pop rivet snap dealio on my belt. Thanks... I have an imminent holster replacement and this is relief Do you have any problems with your holster falling off when you do the re-holster wiggle cha-cha twist? (all the rage with the kids these days) How did you get a snap onto the thick leather of the holster straps? Aloha, -Eric

I left mine on another island recently. Maybe yours was there too. Have you checked in around Waikiki?
