Hey SharkBait! I’m happy to hear you love your gaskets. That makes me feel all warm and fuzzy! You know, I wish I was closer. I’d be right over. Or we’d plan a weekend and go crazy with building. We’d whip that thing up in NO time! My lady is also a KB kit. And I really did hate that armor by The time I was finished building. Truly. I wanted to light her on fire! Of course that melted away when I saw her all completed and together. Awaiting her first troop. (The first time I wore her was for Celebration Orlando. First test trial. I was terrified!) If there is ever anything you question or need help with, please don’t hesitate. I’ll help as best as I can from afar. Pictures. Products. Methods. Info. You name it.

(And potential build thread???? It could happen...) Hey Silver Siblings!!!! Welcome to the FISD and our chrome Lady’s build section. I thought I’d introduce myself first. My real human name is Teresa. I currently reside in nowhereland Northern Alberta Canada in a small community of 150 people. I am a very proud member of the Badlands Garrison, and have been since April 2016. I currently am going into my third term as Garrison PR Officer, and I’m one of the Moderators on the Captain Phasma Costumers Facebook page. I also can be found sewing gaskets, neck seals, harnesses and sexy biker shorts for our First Order Family, Classic TKs, clones, Sandy’s, Snowies, as well as a multitude of other items for a good many costumes. You can find me in the Ongoing Sales and Run section in the Imperial Commissary or on Facebook under Geeky Pinks Phantastic Gaskets. I answer to TK~41307, Miss Pink, Pinky, Pink Lady, GeekyPink, SoulArt, Snow Queen, Captain Sassy, Teresa and Mom [emoji175] I joined the Legion with my Authentic Props Stunt TK, Who has been worked on and built to EIB #719 and Centurion #335 levels. I began work on my Phasma in May of 2016. A very aspiring build for my second costume. I was a newb! I joined the ranks of Captain on February 28th 2017 as the Legions 9th Phasma. My kit is an ABS KB Props, with a Jim Tripon Helmet. C3P0 fingers from Shawn Thorsson. Holster clip from Justin Lee Morrison. All soft goods except pouches on belt (cape, gaskets, neck seal, belt) were made by myself including belt. Pouches were from Jimmi as well. The finish on the armor is Spectra Chrome. I did the sanding, wet sanding, priming and sanding. The guy at the autobody shop did the actual chroming. I often can be found here reading and interjecting comments here and there, but mostly I respond privately to people. And help them build. I’m not sure why I’m like a FISD ninja, I guess I didn’t wish to be out in the open helping for fear it looked super pushy. Elitist, Or like bragging. I’ve helped garrison mates build many many classic tks, and helped in my Twins FOTK. I’m also an approved ROTS Royal Guard, Director of Intelligence Ysanne Isard, Governor Ahrinda Pryce, and am tinkering in a Mara Jade, Legacy Fem TK, TFU Black Shadow Guard with full robes and First Order Snowtrooper. The Mara and Legacy require some weight loss before I feel comfortable wearing that skin tight body suit or tailored armor. As a woman, I understand the trials of armor building around a dead thyroid, hormonal weight fluctuations, body parts spilling over the edges of your armor because you just can’t lay off the salt n vinegar chips and dip, female body parts, stress, busy single Hockey Mom life.... I had always thought I’d come back and create my build thread.... help others by my mistakes and trials and build knowledge. Vader knows I certainly took enough pictures throughout. But time has a way of getting away from us, and here I am almost 3 years later and still no thread. Until today. Maybe you all will inspire me to get my buttplate in gear and get a build thread up for you. At the very least, I’m here at the gentle request of my dear TK Twin Pyrates, (who is always trying to get me to help openly instead of privately) and Andrew/Sly to let you know I’m here to offer any help and advice I may have on this particular costume. Or as a female of our species. Although I cannot guarantee that I will get that build thread created, or be in here 24/7, I will do the best I can for you all. I will share pictures. Offer Build advice. Vendor info. Sewing and construction advice. Always have a shoulder for you to to cry on when you end up hating her and wish to throw her down the stairs or light her on fire. (It’s true. This happens.) I will always listen. Help you as best as I can. If I do not know the answer of what you seek, I will find you a Phasma that does. I shall try harder to not lurk in the shadows, but be more present, in the hopes to help you all. I’ll add some of my favorite photos and armor bits then go into build stuff as the days go on. Wishing you all happy building and trooping! Sincerely SoulArt/TK-41307 Now for some armor bits just laying around in my phone. Mostly upper body. Cod, boot, etc. Ill clean this up later and organize it by body section. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello my beautiful steel Sister!!! [emoji175] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes. Which staff please. Because Aaron is my TK twin. Joined the Legion at the same time. Same armor builder. We live 8 hours apart and troop together when we can. He was an Attaché here right from his joining. My brother Peter is my biological brother that was our Garrison GEC for a couple of years. Both are good, honorable men that I love dearly, so please be careful how you address them. And have your facts clear before you accuse me anymore. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wyatt, I was unaware that Aaron posted me to the FISD. And he cleared that up with a Paul, which resulted in my OWN posting in the FISD As for my brother being on Command, he has been for years! How dare you suggest that because he is, he’s somehow guilty and shady. How dare you grasp at straws and insinuate I’m shady in my dealings. Or dishonest. You sir, I feel, are way out of line. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Jessica bought the gaskets. Peter created his own. On his own pattern. Never ever owning theirs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I never did Steven. Peter never bought anything from them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wyatt, how dare you. No. Aaron did not buy anything from me. As a matter of fact. I’m quite generous and over this past Christmas I made him a full set of gaskets seal and harness as a gift. For his FN that was recently approved only these past few months. And for your information, as you knew already, Aaron was always a member of staff here in the Attaché role right from his joining the legion 2016 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m sorry they are gone , if they are gone but it’s not because of me. I’ve done nothing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So.... posting accusations of me spoofing shilling sock puppeting or whichever you said of me on my business thread is ok because you’ve nothing to gain from that? Because you feel you need to start over and somehow it’s my fault??? Wyatt, Rhonda or moderators, I don’t think that is ok. Or fair. And I don’t understand why Peter is listed as sock puppeting along with Aaron. I still don’t even understand that accusation from 2 years ago either against Aaron! Everything was resolved. Or amicable. I don’t I believe I’ve done anything wrong and I feel my actions and sales thread and products clearly prove that. And I don’t even know why Peter or Aaron came up in this discussion about me being accused as a recaster. I get you are upset, and I’m sorry you are, but I don’t believe I’m the one to approach or attack. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok. If they did approach Paul again, which resulted in this discussion thread being started, and my being accused again of this, then my above posting is my statement. With photos. And screenshots. If this isn’t sufficient, I will find more proof of my actions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How is it fair that I be held accountable for the FISDs actions regarding your threads Wyatt. (If they indeed did something.) To accuse me or drag me into it is unfair and hurtful. I get that you are angry, but I don’t feel i should be the one responsible or accused. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Then why are we here Wyatt!!!! I honestly thought we had settled this and were all good with one another. I was stunned to see this posted this am. As for all that you just said, dear god sir, I would never! And I’ve only EVER promoted you! Both of you. Heck... all of you that sew or do gaskets. I am not responsible in any way for your thread going missing. As a matter of fact I see it still pinned where I and the others are. I am truly sorry you feel that I’m responsible for that , but it’s not me! I barely use the word imperial but I do feel I’m allowed to use it. I actually am saddened to know that you feel I’d have done anything to you deliberately to sabotage you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes. I requested this remain open to all members of our detachment for utter transparency and honesty. I’ve nothing to hide. I’ve recasted nothing. And 2 years later here we are again. This time it’s going to be public. For all to see as I’ve no desire to defend myself a third time. I’m not even sure why it’s an issue today , but here we are. So let’s dive right in shall we? This became an issue almost 2 years ago. The second I posted on the FISD and Facebook I was going to start sewing. I credited my brother publicly for allowing me to run with his initial pattern design. I was excited and happy. I was contacted by Mrs TK4205 saying my brother had her design. No. He did not. She merely told him the fabrics she used. Peter then used his own choice of fabric and a completely different design of his creation. I have read all interactions between my brother and Rhonda. And then responded to her from a place of security in defending both him and myself. I was accused of not being a member (which I was) using their ideas and fabrics (which I didn’t) and recasting their design (which I didn’t) I was investigated by this detachment almost 2 years ago and was found innocent. Upon that time, graciously accepted as an approved seller here on our forums. Upon which, if one scrolls back to the beginning, you will see both Wyatt and our DL welcoming me and encouraging me. Yesterday I was horrified to see Wyatt accusing me of “spoofing”him and insinuating I’m sabotaging his business (I still don’t know what that means nor do I care at this point) And today I wake to see that I’m now accused yet again of recasting!!!!! Ok. Let’s get this out in the open. As any of you that know me or have dealt with me for both business or personal know I’m pretty straightforward forthright and honest. My business practices are well above board, and I help anyone I possibly can build or sew. With pictures. Patterns. Advice. In any detachment. I’m going to invite you all to go read my initial post in my sales thread, where Wyatt and Paul and others welcome me, as well as head over to Facebook where you’ll see my original posting and comments made to Rhonda’s now deleted responses. But first let me leave you with some pics. Original fb post Comments indicating Rhonda posted publicly Original welcome post on FISD Paul himself commenting and offering help to get going. Part of a long conversation between Rhonda and I clearly stating my designs are different. Their gaskets My gaskets They use 1/8” headlining foam and lamay. Peter used satin. I did not like any of that and found my own materials. I use 1/4” upholstery SewFoam and a polyester spandex blend with a rubberlike finish. Nothing I do looks like theirs in design or fabrics. If anything should I then accuse them of changing their design to mimic mine now? Possibly. Or accuse Imperial boots of offering gasket sheets in the shape of a rectangle? Or Sheevs Emporium for using pink sew foam? Absolutely ridiculousness. Imperial Boots , Sheevs, /Sister Margaret and Imperial Gaskets I’ve recommended openly. And others. Encouraging anyone to check them all out and see who suits their needs best. Or to help them sew their own. Last time this was done privately. This time I wished it to be public for everyone to see and form their own opinions about all things. But I’ll be damned if I come back here a third time to defend myself from Wyatt, Rhonda or anyone else. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok.... now I truly am confused. And put off! Am I honestly being accused of being a recaster again? Yesterday saw Wyatt post publicly on my sales thread that I was “spoofing”. (Which I still don’t understand what he means) telling me I cannot use the words Imperial or gaskets in a sentence. Like EVER. As though you own these words? I’m struggling with this. Are you accusing and posting to Imperial Boots, (they sell gaskets) the First Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment (many make gaskets here), or anyone else that uses the world imperial as well? That If I’ve typed these words anywhere at anytime I’m trying to prevent you from selling somehow????? Or stealing your business? Ive read through my entire years of postings to see how many times I’ve said Imperial.... have you? I’m sure the FISD moderators have and found very few instances. And to top all of this ridiculousness off, I awake this morning and find myself in a Recasters discussion???? Honestly???? I’m going to now hold you detachment leaders and moderators accountable here as you DO have proof and correspondence of this instance from the past as many of you were around. Including our DL. I was very kind and patient 2 years ago when you (Rhonda and Wyatt) began your attack of me. Tried my best to even have a working relationship with you and support your business. Even advertise you on other sites. To be fair to everyone that created gaskets so that hopeful TKs could make their own choices as to where to buy. I help moderate the Phasma costume page, and you are listed there as well! Forgive me if I lose my patience now. These types of things bother me greatly and I have no tolerance for false accusations or people deliberately trying to hurt other people. I’m pretty straight forward. Honest. Kind. Compassionate and most certainly am not greasy or underhanded. I try and treat my customers with greatest respect, try to provide the best customer service I can, deem it an honour to sew for whomever asks that of me, share my patterns and materials freely to help others create their own goods, and I genuinely care about people, our members, their costumes and what we do on a whole when we are in them. I’ve costumed since I was 14 years old. (That’s 34 years now) the past few years now with this particular detachment in the building of my first armor in April of 2016. As kind as I may be, I’m also feisty and happy to defend myself here or anywhere. I began selling almost 2 years ago. At the encouragement of a dear friend that ran the Phasma page. To help the upcoming Phasmas and FNs. January 2017. As no one could get approved due to gasket wait times. Upon that time I was accused by Wyatt and Rhonda of recasting. And at which time Rhonda accused my brother of stealing her design. (Which is not true.) After much debate, discussions, reading of past correspondence between my brother and Rhonda, much back and forth between Rhonda Wyatt and I , a personal 3 way call between the 3 of us initiated by myself and investigation and involvement from THIS detachment, it was proven by all that I was NOT in any way in the wrong or recasting and had the ability to be a seller here in the FISD. Wyatt himself then even welcomed me on my sales page. This was resolved and everyone went on their merry way. Now, here we are almost 2 years later, and I’m defending myself again? WHY? Because I said Imperial citizens? Or Imperial goodness? Are not all of us in this detachment referred to as Imperials? Because he feels that I’m responsible in some way that his presence here is altered? Or their business affected? Or am now being questioned as a recaster once again???? I am sorry.... whatever has happened here regarding Wyatts position in the FISD has nothing to do with me. And I take offence at being accused by him again, or that they are somehow trying to use me as the scapegoat for his misdirected anger. Or affected business As though Im responsible. I am not. My gaskets looked nothing like theirs. They’ve since altered their design awhile back and look remarkably like mine! Should I have screamed recaster?? Possibly. They are made out of completely different materials. And unless they hold a patent on the human body, ANYONE that can sew or pattern is capable of creating a set of gaskets. A rectangle is a rectangle people. An arm is an arm. A chest is a chest. I have proof of private correspondence between Rhonda and I on my Facebook page that I will bring forth if I must. Seeing as that it was private, I shall respect Rhonda’s words unless I’m forced to share them. And this detachment HAS past conversations regarding this once resolved issue. The phone call the 3 of us had regrettably will have to be he said she said as there’s no proof to back up what anyone said here. But it was a good call that ended very well and positive to the best of my knowledge. It must have been, because I was proven not a recaster and invited, encouraged and allowed to sell here on the FISD. I’m not certain what else to say here. I guess I’ll wait and see what else will be said. But please know I’m feeling defensive, and I’m now angry and disappointed with many things regarding this.

Are you suggesting I cannot ever type the words imperial or gaskets?? I still don’t understand what you are getting at. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you are having issues with your thread Wyatt, I do suggest you speak to the admin of this page. I honestly do not know what you are talking about, and Do not appreciate your tone or accusations on my page. Are you suggesting I should not ever use the word Imperial???? Or gaskets? That because I do I’m “spoofing”? What the heck does that even mean by the way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
