Welcome to the FISD

Hi Adam welcome to the FISD If you find yourself needing new parts/new suit RWA do something he calls “the big boy” armour which caters for various flavours of big and taller that wouldn’t fit into a more traditional sized suit.

No, a popper is specific kind of snap, but it’s what we call them in the UK. this is what I mean: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334214700997?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=IZwBW1pKQEO&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=O36WsnEmT1G&var=543220012274&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

There are a few more of the belt in that gallery. The belt was also rivet on as best as I can see there. Thats not overly practical for a trooping build. Some use a Chicago screw, but what I did was rivet on a snap to give the screen accurate look from the outside side but the ability to remove the holster as needed for storage and transportation.

On the screen used suits the boxes are rivets to attach the main plastic to the fabric belt and also to attach the drop boxes to the elastics. To attach the belt to the armour was “poppers” by a company called Newey but these days most of use a snap type faster there instead. This gallery image is from the RS owned suit from A New Hope.

Hi Adam, I am UKG and also in Herts (Hemel). So welcome to the FISD. For the UK Garrison start here: https://www.ukgarrison.co.uk/join-us.html Join the forum, say hello and make your way over to the armoury. A work in progress thread is part of the clearance process and they will guide you best on getting your SDS to a point that the UKG will be happy with for clearance. Once you're squared away there don't be a stranger, we will also be more than happy to help out here. But do listen to your UKG Armourer as ultimately they will be the one who green lights your build.

Welcome to the FISD. Good luck with the Phasma build. We used to have one in our Garrison and it really was a cool costume to see and troop with.

The Metalmite capacitors, are to my knowledge, not polarised as they lack any form of polar markings. From a quick google they are paper capacitors, which probably means "paper in oil" which is a primitive capacitor technology. Polarised Electrolytic capacitors would have been physically bigger and also have a much higher capacitance. Looking around, not all of them have red and black ends, some have two black. For example: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/305583460268?var=0&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338590836&toolid=10044&customid=95cbffdf7f7c1f563ab398ca56115666 Admittedly not quite the correct one, these are 1000v caps which will be larger, but finding images of the correct smaller ones vs repo is hard now. Those that do have 2 colours might be an indicator of which is the "foil" which can help reduce noise in some circuits. This is all a bit of a guess though, as finding the actual data sheet on these is impossible now.

I would have to assume a chassis ground. I don't know what image you're looking at for the red/black ends but another thing to consider is in the early days of transistors positive earth was common due to the prevalence of PNP transistors.

Congratulations on 75 troops!

Congratulations on 50 troops!

Yes it’s been a while since the original text was written so it will need a look over. It was used as the basis of the Enoch CRL which is essentially text complete so it would be good to ensure the two align in areas they need to.

Hi, Looks like the legion have your last login as October 2019. You need to login at least once per term to maintain detachment affiliation. As you have now logged the next time the legion syncs with the forum it will pick that up and re-activate your status so long as you still meet all other requirements. The sync is generally only run prior to the Elections as that is all that this status affects.

Greetings troopers, At this time I am not going to be manually updating the membership. The detachment affiliation only applies to elections, and will give you permission to vote in the Detachment elections. If you have gone through the proper process to request your 501st Stormtrooper you are essentially all set. You will be able to reach all posts on the forum, and come the next sync the legion will link you and your legion accounts up and update them appropriately and you will be able to vote. Please note you will have to have signed in during "the previous term" in order to retain detachment affiliation, so if you're reading this logged out quickly login now to register your login for the term. The next sync will be run in January ready for the next elections. At that time I will work with the legion to ensure that everyone has the correct permissions and is not prohibited from voting in the correct elections. If there are any issues they will be managed at that time before the elections start.

I understand what you are saying but there is an amount of implied "and matches the screen reference". There is a balance between making the text too complex and hard to follow vs too simple and not detailed enough. Not sure where this falls exactly, but it does say that all panels need to have a red borer. It's just defining that is a bit tricky at this point.

Your profile is setup correctly. A week or two before the elections the Legion team will run a sync to make sure everyone is up to date. That will include approving the pending which is not something we do manually. If at that point you are still pending we can look into it until just before the election starts, when they lock the database.

I've updated both the belt and the skirt sections. If anyone has any comments let me know.

I really have no memory of that, and honestly I think it's wrong as well. Looks like it's closed (as in the fastener or buckle) at the front. I am going to claim it as a typo 🫠 I think the best route is to simply remove that line and let people use reference so it looks correct and not worry about forcing it any specific way. Regarding the skirt, I've not had a chance to go back and watch yet due to work and other issues taking my time. Perhaps the simplest solution is to amend the wording to remove the word "fabric". Then if some one has made one in either fabric or leather so far they are going to be able to get cleared. Looking at the images there just is not enough detail right now to make a 100% decision. The motion might help but even then we don't 100% know and might not ever unless this ends up on a stand at Celebration or similar. We can always add it later as a level 2/3 requirement once we know for sure.

Sadly I won't be there, hope its better than the London one was!

Congratulations troopers!

Welcome to the FISD good luck on your journey.

None of us have claimed to be an expert, most of our CRLs are hard armour and that is most of what we know yes. However rather than coming and throwing insults at us, participate. The CRL thread is here : Please post your images there and we can discuss it.
