tots jelly... That is amazing. I have to start work on a Backpack. Good job Trooper!

Just based on what I've seen and learned over the past year, I would avoid getting any 501st related items from eBay like the plague. Unless you know the seller is reputable and is using eBay as a platform to drive some sales, I would check on the approved vendors list here on whitearmor that Mario provided and hit one of them up. The helmets is tough enough with two parts and two ears, I don't think I'd want to add a third part. personally. Good luck in your endeavors.

Nice Job Phil.

Hey Stephanie! As the others have pointed out already, AM makes a great kit for larger folks. And you can trim it to fit any size. I wish I had done my homework before I bought the kit I did. I'm 6'2" and 260lbs and I have some issues with my ATA Works kit. It is a bit small either in the chest or abdomen, as well as the shoulder bells. My son who is 5' 11" and 175 lbs fits in his ATA Works kit like it was made for him. Whatever way you go, ask alot of questions, and don't forget to start a build thread so we can see your progress and help out anyway we call. We love helping new troopers get going! These folks at FISD are a great help. I'm happy I had access when I was working on TK. Good Luck!

Welcome aboard Luke! Can't wait to see those pictures as you build! Be sure to ask lots of questions, that is one of the reasons we are here!

I know this is an old thread, but thank you for asking and answering so I didn't have to do it too. I bought the wrong style for my ATA Works the first time, and was looking for the correct version. Thanks!

Ditto. I ordered two pairs of boots from from Amazon and one from Imperial Boots. I thought I'd get the Amazon ones quickly so I could get approved and troop (they have a seam on the front so no EIB). But my IB boots arrived first and they were so comfortable. Only issue I have is that they are a bit tight to put on and I broke one of the pull straps the first day. Was a bit disappointed, but other than that, they are great.

Amazing job trooper! I wish I had a professor like you when i was in school.

Welcome to the FISD! Be sure to start a build thread once you decide so we can all see the awesomeness of your creation! We are all here to help, so don't be afraid to ask. with all the knowledge on this board, someone has more than likely run into the issues you run into and can help you out! Welcome aboard!

Welcome to the FISD. Be sure to start a build thread the post some pictures. We are all here to help you along the way, be it Basic, EIB or Centurion. I have a Basic build now so I could troop, but I'm working on upgrading to EIB. Good luck to you and we are waiting to help!

Can't say that I have, but we have several approved vendors that do it on a regular basis, and if asked nicely, I'm sure they would share their experience with you. I know that Walter Vongher from Walt's Trooper Factory (WTF) has been doing some live streams as he works answering questions and showing his process. You can find him on Facebook. Follow your Dream! And let us know once you get it complete. We are always looking for more screen accurate armor vendors. Good Luck!

no such thing as too short! Come join the fun! We'd love to have you!

Welcome Tanner! My kit is ATA Works as well. If you need any help, feel free to drop me a PM. Good luck and welcome to FISD!

This is amazing. I'm looking forward to the finished product and the STL files.

Welcome to the fold Trooper!

Thank you for this Justin, I know this is an old thread, but thank you for posting it. I was thinking about replacing my Shoulder Bells, now I'll give this a try first and see if it helps first. I like my kit, but I think I should have gone AM 2.0 or WTF instead of ATA because the chest, back and should bells seem very small on me.

Welcome to FISD and Garrison Tyranus Paul. If you haven't joined us on our forum, please be sure to do so. We are always looking for more Troopers! http://garrisontyranus.com/forum/ Be safe! Looking forward to trooping with you.

Troop #4 May the Forth social distancing parade for a young fan that lost his father to cancer. We followed all the social distancing requirements for our state, including limiting our troop to 10 people. It was also my son's first troop. He has his TI and IC and we are working on his TK.
