Wow, what an ultra clean submission. Good luck mate.

Hi Joseph and welcome to the FISD. Glad you found this place, because it is the right one for your project. Good luck on your stormtrooper journey and do also have a look at the requirements for the higher levels (2&3) before you start building.

Hi John. No confirmed info from my side, but I experienced the same a while ago already (before the lockdown). Since I know DoopyDoo's, they have always been very low on communications, but always shipped what one ordered. Let's keep fingers crossed, it is just a temporary production pause... I am on their waiting list, too.

Welcome to the FISD, Paul. Great to have you here. Don't forget to check the Getting Started section (even if you already know where you will order) and maybe some build threads. Oh, and share some photos here when your big brown box arrives. Nothing beats that. Good luck future stormtrooper.

Looks great Scott. The additional clearance below the rail will help saving your receiver tube from scratches of the scope screws.

Sounds great Matthew. Welcome to the white zone.

Welcome Stu. Being located in the UK, you can not go wrong with RS and TM. As far as I know, RWA also comes from the UK and might be worth checking. Have a look at @CableGuy 's build thread and make sure to also register on the UK forum (if not already done). For the shadow trooper bucket: you could keep it for display, or sell it to get cash for your armor purchase. Good luck on your stormtrooper journey.

Hello Ashe. When starting your build, please also check the CRL requirements for the higher levels 2 and 3. Very often these are easy to consider while building, instead of afterwards.

Great story Steve and welcome to the FISD. That says it all.

Welcome to the FISD, Brad. Like Anthony said, browse the forum and have a look at the Getting Started Section. You already ordered your armor, but there is still a lot of other useful information. And if you get stuck, just ask and we'll try to help. Enjoy your TK journey and don't forget to post pictures from your big brown box, once it arrives...

Good luck Justin. I love this weathering.

You are posting this in Sven's (HSM76) thread. Dracotrooper's (Jesse) thread can be found here: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/42791-doopydoos-full-resin-kit-wip-tinochris-more-additional-parts/

The tactical light is the main feature to identify a Rogue One blaster. Glad to hear you have it now and completed this build. Oh, and the view through the scope is fantastic!

Hm, seems like something has been changed. 8 days ago I was able to see the photos, but not any more.

Hi Tom, welcome to the home of the shiny white armor. Congratulations on your basic approval. Have you ever heard of the levels 2 and 3? If not, check this out:

Looks good. What color do you use for the eye lens? The ref photos seem to show everything from grey, to light blue and black.

Years ago, I used such a removable type of spray paint, but if I had to do it again now, I would go with standard black spray paint. Reason 1: Back then, I was not sure if it would work or if I have to undo it. Reason 2: During usage, the paint peeled off in some spots, which makes you a hard time fixing this.

As far as I know, you could use leftover pieces from a fly screen (if available). Depending on the width of the mesh you can use two or three layers. Depends on the sanding. Low grits cause 'bigger' flakes that just trickle to the ground. Fine grits cause smaller flakes with the danger of inhaling them. Long story short: use that mask.

Looks great man! Wait one day for the green stuff to fully cure, then sand and check if you are happy with it. A primer might help on this.

Additionally to the things that Dan already pointed out, there is one mistake on this blaster: the magazine is inserted the wrong way. Here is how it should be installed:

Hi Scott, that 3D-printed front sight looks great and you have done an excellent job on the dove tail mod. With the current CRLs I do not see any issues with displays. Usually these are installed in the Hengstler counter and/or in the M.H.R. telescope, facing the wearer. This should be okay, I guess.

Looks great. What color did you use for the inner bolt? Very realistic.

As far as I know, there was a "6 feet rule" in the filming industry back then (not sure if still is). In other words, go no closer than 6 feet and then use the zoom.

Hi Mike, if you are referring to chapter #17, mod D, then I guess Brian @Bulldog44 might be able to help you, as this was a modification on his build.

Hello and welcome to the FISD. Something I often recommend, is to get in contact with your local Garrison. You currently have no location info in your profile, but if you let us know where you are living, we can help. Meeting these people will help you in so many ways and seeing armors of different makers in person, really trains your eyes for the small variations and details.
