Take note there are some details which you would also need to address for a Shock Trooper which are different from the ANH Stunt/Hero or ESB troopers. https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_shocktrooper A white flexible U shaped gasket or molded lip shall be present around all edges. A separate kidney/butt plate is not allowed - the kidney and butt plate shall be combined/fused to a single plate/one piece. The crotch tab of the butt plate area may or may not have visible snaps. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Belt does not have rivet covers. Two rivets are visible on either end of the belt. There is no center rivet present. Plastic ammo belt has square corners not 45 degree cuts. For L2 and above Overlap construction must be used. Butt joints and cover strips are not allowed. Blaster L3 Forward D-ring is mounted underneath the front sight on the left side of the barrel. Use of the correct front sight (which differs from ANH and ESB). The scope rail is unique to ROTJ E11 and is not like the normal open ANH/ESB scope rails, but is a solid, one piece, with a unique sight design on the front. The scope connects to the notched out area of the solid rail. The scope is the correct design (as seen in ROTJ), and will attach to the scope rail via one scope mount. The muzzle is unlike the normal ANH style. It is flat with two counter sunk Allen bolts (one located at the four o’clock position and one located at the ten ‘o’clock position). The door catch is correct, not a "close enough" attempt as seen on the Cinemastery blaster.

There are a few quality/detail issues with SDS (Shepperton Design Studios aka originalstormtrooper.com, these threads may help you, @Helotech put in a lot of rework on his SDS kit, most mentioned in his pre approval thread Also his build thread Another SDS pre approval Just takes a bit of work to get them to an approvable costume and a few replacement parts but I'm sure with garrison help you will do just fine. Good luck and any questions please let us know

Congratulations on hitting 75 trooper

Congratulations reaching your 50th troop

You could also just re-bend the clips (if the material allows) or even make new clips and use the existing holes, this will also save removing the control plate. The height and length of the clips dictates where the control panel will sit on the wearer.

There's always the hope of a Black Series Figure or even Hot Toys, time will tell

You could remove the rubber and trim some material off the edge, you don't want to take too much off the front though or the brow will be higher, but you have room there.

Need Help Ask the Deployment Officers Advance to 1500 Advanced Tactics Awards Newsletter Editor Staff List 2024 Follow FISD Hüseyin Firat (DZ-38070), a true legionnaire and a dear friend to all in the Turkish Outpost, departed for his greatest journey beyond the sand dunes on September 12th, 2024. Hüseyin applied for membership during the worrisome days during the COVID outbreak of 2020. Without contacting any of the command staff prior, he did his own research for a Jawa costume and did a remarkable job in creating one. Perfectly matching his stature, he became the Turkish Outpost's first and only Jawa. Coincidentally, he was a resident of Antalya, one of the hottest cities in Turkey. This was proof enough that he was a great fit to be a Jawa. Hüseyin was a very active member of the 501st. He was eager to represent his club and his love of Star Wars at events in different cities. He did not miss even a single online meeting. He put a lot of work into his costume and he was always trying to make it better. And when it came to reenact a Jawa...he was not just reenacting, he WAS a Jawa. Fellow Turkish Outpost troopers witnessed how he brought joy to the hearts and smiles on the faces of hundreds. But of course, beyond that, he was a kind, thoughtful human being. Always full of ideas, he brought new perspectives to situations that needed solutions. Condolences to his family, friends and garrison "Buckets Off" Greetings Troopers, As we enter the tail end of the year it is once again time for the Legion Census. If you've not already completed your census for the years please head over to our post on how to complete yours. When filling in the census also make sure you have setup your detachment affiliations if you have not already and want to be able to vote in the Detachment elections in February. Once set for the first time it will say your status is pending, this will be updated later in the term when a Legion process runs to synchronise our forum with the database. For this to update you to active you will need to have logged in at least once this term and need your TKID set correctly on your forum profile. We do this as part of setting your Detachment Access, which you can do here if you need to. I have taken time this month to maintain the Legion Roster. This is a manual process managed by the DL to ensure that those who leave the detachment are properly updated on both sides. Being one of the largest detachments this can be a large amount of work and has taken quite a while to get back into a good state. Going forwards this will now be a much easier keep up to date. On a more exciting front, merch. We've got two runs currently in production and one has already begun shipping. More exciting still is there is a new run starting so make sure you catch up on James' DMBO update. With Unquestioned Loyalty Chris Pearson TK-10991 "themaninthesuitcase" Detachment Leader Greeting to all, Today we launch our first incentive merch piece for our current mission as we "Advance to 1500" approved TK's at Expert Infantry level. As always, we first need a gauge on the level of interest so we can get the right pricing. After the interest phase we will move to the open run where the final price will be locked in. This will be an open to all 501st members run because we really want to ramp up the interest in this campaign. The hopes are others will see these pieces of merch and ask the simple question, What is Advance to 1500? Like programs prior, the exposure and word of mouth is a huge benefit to getting us to the target. These type of campaigns also allow everyone to be involved and talk up our Lvl 2 Expert infantry rank, getting more troopers a touch closer to screen accuracy. We also rely on our attaches and global members that get involved in our Armorers program, assisting new and existing troopers, in making these simple upgrades to EI and Centurion lvl. They have a solid understanding on what it takes and are always ready to offer A1 assistance. You all know who you are, and the detachment is ever grateful for your outstanding efforts. Ok, back to the merch item. Without further ado, we announce the Advance to 1500 Key tag Thank you to those involved that got us from conception to launch. Please follow this link to the Interest thread, which will be open from today through to mid-November.

It is the responsibility of all 501st approved members to fill out the census each year which you can find here (to enter use your legion forum login and password) You must be registered on the main forums to participate in the census:here Here's what the charter says about activity definitions: Operations Protocol/Membership An Active Member is defined as a member in good standing who meets the following requirements: Meets all 501st Membership Requirements (i.e. ownership of an approved costume, is over 18 years of age, etc). Has an approved membership record in the 501st Legion Membership Database Maintains active contact with their CO or GML. Active contact and participation will be confirmed during the annual Legion Census held each year during the month of October. Maintains contact information/membership record in the 501st Legion database either through their CO or GML. Participates in at least one Garrison or Legion activity per year while wearing an approved 501st costume owned by said member as recorded in the Legion Census. One year is defined as the period from Legion Census to Legion Census. Examples of an activity include, but are not limited to conventions, charity events, or any activity designated as an official event by a coordinating administrative unit of the Legion. Members who serve in military branches are exempt from activity level requirements if their service renders them unable to meet these requirements. These Minimum Activity Level Requirements should be administered as justly and with as much common sense as possible. A member may retain active status, even if they do not meet all of the requirements listed above at the discretion of their unit Commanding Officer or Legion Command. Filling out the census only takes a few minutes and you also have the opportunity to update your contact information ie: address, email, phone and so on. Any questions you have in regards to the census please contact either your GCO (garrison commanding officer) or your GML (garrison membership liaison) Census form layout With the last forum update the viewable area of the census may not be full page, as such change your page magnification to 75% and you should be able to see the whole page. Note: make sure you tick the box "Is the above information correct?" please tick YES Census guide in PDF https://www.501st.com/members/501st-Census-FAQ.pdf How to log in legion forum: https://www.501st.com/forum/download/file.php?id=18773 Any problems with the logging in please contact the LWM team here: support@501st.com What is detachment affiliation https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/43940-what-is-detachment-affiliation-and-why-is-my-info-not-correct/ So stand up and be counted troopers, you have until 31st October OK so you look at your Legion profile and it shows that your detachment affiliation to FISD is pending, or otherwise incorrect. Why does this happen, and what is detachment affiliation anyway, and what will FISD do about it? The answer is that detachment affiliation is only ever used once a year, and for one purpose. The only time the Legion ever uses it for anything is to determine who can run for DL and who can vote in detachment elections. That's it. Otherwise it is pretty much ignored and not used for anything. The process of validating detachment membership is cumbersome and time consuming because people use different email information between their Legion and detachment logins, and that there is no way to bulk update the rosters. For a small detachment it is not a big deal to do this manually, but for a detachment the size of FISD with hundreds and soon thousands of 501st members, it's impossible. Fortunately we have technical folk both on FISD and in the Legion web team. Once a year they take a feed from FISD's database and do a bulk update on the Legion database. This occurs right before the election cycle starts and is done once per year. Pro tips: 1) Ensure the email address you use on the Legion & FISD boards are the exact same. 2) Ensure that your FISD profile has the correct TKID. 3) IMPORTANT! You MUST be in the right security group. It should be "501st Stormtrooper" in order for the automated system to pull you over. This thread is where you get your detachment access updated. 4) If after the bulk update is complete and your profile is still not updated, and you are 100% sure your info is in sync between the two boards, then ask for to the Legion web team. They should get feedback on why this isn't working. 5) If all else fails, ping the FISD staff. Which basically means that we'll simply tell the 501st web team to bulk approve everyone 6) If still you have no luck you can contact the legion web team directly via email: lwm@501st.com To check detachment affiliation go to the 501st holocron here, login using your 501st forum username and password, click on YOUR PROFILE DATA, then look down the lower part of the page for YOUR UNIT AFFILIATION, then under DETACHMENT AFFILIATION. If you do not see FISD listed reach out to your GML (garrison membership liaison) as they can add it if you are an approved Stormtrooper. If FISD shows as PENDING contact our DL Chris @themaninthesuitcase and request a manual update. INFORMATION & AWARD PROGRAMS For a full list of FISD awards programs head here. *Now Available in Swedish* Want to spread the word about FISD?, you can with our FISD Tri-Fold Brochure. Originally these were done in a limited run by the member who created them, but nowadays, we have moved this to a print your own service making them accessible to all countries around the globe. Files are available to all full 501st members on request by contacting our DL Chris @themaninthesuitcase you can find more info here Currently Available languages: English - Spanish - German - Swedish Are you new to the FISD and wondering what the heck all those abbreviations and strange sounding terms mean? To help you @justjoseph63 has started a list of the most commonly used ones that will give you some insight. If you have ANY questions about a particular term that is not listed or suggestions for new ones please contact Joseph. You can find the list here. Pre Approval Forum allows future Troopers the opportunity to submit photos of their completed build to be reviewed by the Staff, Imperial Attaches and others in preparation for forwarding it to their GML for approval. Any and all advice/suggestions given will be specific, constructive, helpful and respectful. Please note that this program will NOT take the place of your local GML, as Detachments are not chartered for costume approval and can not override a GMLs decision, but is instead a peer review program designed to help you look your best and offer guidance and positive feedback. For more information on this program, please visit the link here. Don't forget to visit our 3D section when next surfing the FISD forums, there is plenty of useful information to potentially help you on your next TK adventure.

Imperial Attaché patch Imperial Attaché Rocker Imperial Attaché Outstanding Achievement Award Greetings fellow attachés! Thank you for your Unquestioned Loyalty to the Emperor's cause, the work and support that you give our Stormtroopers! After recent interviews with attachés, we can establish that you are doing an excellent job helping our troopers when you're out on patrol and via the hologram, when you can't be there in person! Proceed to scan through the FISD Imperial Attaché list and report to me if you need to add any titles or any information regarding your area of operation! The 1500 is ahead of us, and we need your help to see it done! Keep promoting the Expert Infantry program according to the standard protocol! With Unquestioned Loyalty Jonatan Östling TK-23592 "Nairy" Attaché Ambassador Master Armorer Program - 2024 Relaunch FISD has many wonderful programs to help members build and submit costumes for our detachment, whether it be a classic Stormtrooper, a First Order Stormtrooper, or even one of the new Imperial Armored Commandos. While our Expect Infantry and Centurion programs get most of the attention, FISD staff wants to relaunch the Armorer Program (Currently called the Master Armorer Program). What is the Armorer Program you ask? Well, it is a program designed to recognize those troopers that go above and beyond to assist themselves and others in getting costumes built, submitted, and approved. One of the goals of all the detachments in the 501st Legion is to help members build and submit costumes that meet and hopefully exceed the minimum requirements of the Legion’s CRLs. Currently the Master Armorer program has the requirement of helping a minimum of 5 members achieve Expert Infantry status. The member must have spent at least 30min physically helping another member with cutting, gluing, sizing, etc, just because they want to help (no money exchanged). The definition of an armorer is “a maker, supplier, or repairer of weapons or armor”. So while we certainly love the feedback that members provide to others on the forums, and the extra steps some do by having video calls to help walk people through issues with their builds, this program requires hands on work. The new program will have the same physical help requirement, but we are going to move from a “wins” system, (where a win was help an individual for 30 min or more) to a points system, and we aren’t limiting it to only Expert Infantry builds. While we are pushing the Advance to 1500 to try and achieve 1500 Expert Infantry members, we recognize that the goal of the detachment is to get FISD members build, submitted, and approved. So we will be awarding points for Basic builds as well. Currently there are 3 levels of the award, FISD Armorer, FISD Senior Armorer and FISD Master Armorer. The new program will add a 4th level at the beginning called the Apprentice Armorer. The point scale will be as follows. 5 points - Apprentice Armorer 10 points - Armorer 20 points - Senior Armorer 30 points - Master Armorer The Armorer candidate would earn points based on what level the member costume they assisted with achieved. If you help with a basic build, you get 1 point, if you help with a EIB build you get 2 points. So a person to basic you get a point, help them again to get their EIB earning another 2 to a total of 3. The thought again here is that we want to help build as many stormtroopers as possible. If you love building armorer and love helping fellow members get their costumes built, then this is the program you’ve been searching for. We look forward to awarding more members with this award as we know how much we all love Troopers helping Troopers. More information can be found here Armorer Rocker Patches Rocker patches are now available for the Armorer Program, there is currently just the one patch, and members are eligible to receive two of them once they reach Level 2, "Armorer". More information can be found here Want to setup a "Fire Team? the Fire Team program is completely optional, and is intended to help form a common identity and spirit of camaraderie among 501st Legion Stormtroopers in the same geographic area/garrison that troop together. Fire Teams are not officially recognized by the 501st Legion nor the FISD, although they will be able to access a Fire Team sub-forum on the detachment website. You can find more information here. For those interested here is the original discussion on the creation of Fire teams here With Unquestioned Loyalty Mark Ryner TK-4584 "captsafe66" Fire Team Relations So what exactly are and levels? These programs were designed for those who choose to take their armor above and beyond the minimum requirements for basic 501st Legion approval. It gives you the chance to show a level of dedication and pride that takes your armor closer to being as "screen accurate" as possible, without as much extra work as you may realize! You can find more information on the programs here. For those unaware it is possible to achieve extra awards at Expert Infantry for each additional version costume you have approved, additional awards are not issued with another Expert Infantry number (you are only issued 1 Expert Infantry number) but you will see a star above the award on your profile and the thread title will show [APPROVED] 2nd, [APPROVED] 3rd, [APPROVED] 4th and so on. Multiple EIB award recipients and info here NOTE If you are approved with a "2nd Version" of a particular costume that you are already approved with you do not receive an additional award, there is only 1 award issued for each costume version ie: only 1 x Hero, 1 x Stunt, 1 x HWT, 1 x ESB, 1 x TFA and so on. If you have a second/additional version costume approved you will see "2nd Version" and [APPROVED] added to the thread title, no additional profile stars (more info on profile awards here) For those of you who have a particular issue (or issues) before or after submitting for Expert Infantry / Centurion level approval, in order to get you an answer faster you can now privately contact the entire Deployment Officer team at one time! Questions about fitting, repairs, CRL standards/requirements or anything pertaining to reaching Levels 2 and 3 are not only welcomed, but encouraged. Keep in mind that no question is too small, and that your queries will only be seen by the D.O. Staff. We are here to help in any way we can, so please feel free to send us a message by clicking on this link: @Deployment Officer Team and we will get back to you A.S.A.P.! More info here This area lists all those who have gone above and beyond basic approval toward screen accuracy and obtained EIB or Centurion or both.

You can dremel it out or paint or add material on the back, more info in this thread The cod is also firmly fixed, shouldn’t this be attached with straps? It doesn’t look like it’s lined up in the middle either. Should be centered The boxes on the bottom of the ab haven’t been attached perfectly flush either. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): The boxes should sit against the abdominal plate with minimal to no gaps. OPTIONAL Level three certification (if applicable): The seams between the abdominal armor and the 7 boxes should not be filled.

Almost first troop time, this is a great read for trooping if you haven't already seen it https://databank.501st.com/databank/TrooperSurvivalGuide

Sniper plate can have a small gap under the front, really depends on the make and how it fits Thigh ammo strip should have a slight curve

Not on the forum, try Luke Daley JJ Industries https://store.jjindustries.co.uk/pages/customer-message

Time has a habbit of slipping away at times with real life. Correct satin black is best, doesn't hurt to check Vocoder should ideally be painted black using a satin finish, but gloss is acceptable. Lines should be crisp, clean, not extend beyond the ridges and symmetrical on both sides . Some references

I don't know about an official Disney female trooper but in the early days of FISD there were a few people who made female armor pieces, you may find that someone purchased one of these kits to add on to the Disney armor pieces Standard Star Wars weekend troopers had really large tube stripes which were very dark From your RPF post http://www.richiesarmor.com/richiesangels.html http://www.richiesarmor.com/femtrooper.html
