Please consider printing my greeblies in resin to sharpen up your kit! PLA isn't considered a particularly robust material for cosplay, especially in the heat, so keep us posted how it holds up!

Mail should be there Monday dude! That resin helmet is looking fantastic, too! I told you Brian was the man!

I appreciated you confirming my "maths" with the new rules - I'll try to have those three confirm shortly.

Thank you for confirming and my existing thread has been updated for review when you are ready. Some later wins need to be confirmed but I believe are otherwise documented appropriately.

Super, I appreciate the refresh to the program and hopefully (along with some coming announcements), we'll see more activity. I would assume all existing certified L1 Armorers under the new program would be grandfathered in as L2 under the new program and retain their Armorer status anyways, as they would have at a minimum 5 x 2pts for successful EIB assists for the needed 10 total points, but potentially more if they also assisted with those troopers' original Basic Approval submissions (for an additional point each). Everyone will probably need to redo their math to achieve the next rank, but should be no question of retaining status as I understand it.

Thread updated to align with 2024 Program Relaunch to the best of my understanding, including removing a duplicate win that previously counted. Should be Armorer status still with my existing confirmed wins and 16pts total.

Congratulations, trooper!

Don't get me wrong, some bubble lenses are just fine to see through. But the curved shape creates distortion that makes them objectively harder to see through than flat stunt lenses. The difference in the teeth in addition to the ears usually prevents reasonable crossover between Stunt and Hero these days but it can be done. TM has been accused of recasting CfO's work with evidence and largely fallen from grace in the community of late, in addition to being based out of the UK, and I don't think TE2 is still offered, but several makers have recast it - some with permission and some not.

There were only 6 Hero helmets made for production for ANH, with over 20 Stunt helmets being made. In part for that reasons, far fewer manufacturers offer Hero version helmets. Plus, bubble lenses are harder to see out of.

Research until you care. The standards of the 501st are such that if you don't care about the costume you are building, it is unlikely you will be successful with approval. There are no shortcuts or easy answers, at least not cheap or fast ones. All of the resources are available to help you on your journey, just depending on what you need. But we can't tell you what you want.

This is critical to understand - pick two. If you're looking for quality, it is going to cost you. This is not an inexpensive hobby but by doing thorough research (the slow route), you can help ensure you are happy with your purchase. First decide what type of Stormtrooper you want to build, as there are several available. The overwhelming majority of our members are A New Hope Stunt style stormtroopers and the most resources and options exist for that kit. Have a look at the makers available in the US, as they are all very very different. I am personally not a fan of 850 Armor Works quality or accuracy for the Rogue One/New Gen style suits.

Fire Team Dark Fury sounds awesome, carry on! @captsafe66's comments above should get you on the path to making your Fire Team official(ly-unofficial ha)!
