Welcome to FISD Ted! I'm in Chesterfield, VA (just south of Richmond), so we aren't too far apart. If you haven't already be sure to join the Garrison Forum (Garrison Tyranus - FORUM HOME) There a lot of members in the Southeast (near the beach), and everyone in the Garrison is normally happy to help! Looking forward to trooping with you in the future! TK-12953 AKA James

Congratulations on BBB day! I have a Triple D's box as well that I really need to start working on. LOL Sent from my SM-N981U1 using Tapatalk

Congratulations on your first FOTK troop! At 30+ troops in my OTTK and I'm still finding things that I need to adjust. Sent from my SM-N981U1 using Tapatalk

Normally one of the admins do these every day or two. It shouldn't take long. Congratulations on your approval! Sent from my SM-N981U1 using Tapatalk

Okay @Nairy It's time for a new banner! I just got a new costume approved. I'll PM you

Mine isn't done yet. Still need some shading. But I like it. Sent from my SM-N981U1 using Tapatalk

Welcome Back Trooper!

First off, Welcome to FISD Jason. You've come to the right place to get answers to your questions. I will echo what everyone above has said. As someone that made mistakes when he started in 2019 because he didn't know where to look and bought armor that really wasn't best for him, do ask lots of questions! I'm a bigger dude (6'2" 275lbs) and most of the armor isn't make for me. The original actors averaged about 5' 10" and 170lbs (or so I'm told). So the original armor and what most makers imitate (we strive for screen accuracy) is for a person of that size. So if you are bigger or smaller, you need to look at who may make a bigger/small set, or what you may need to do to size the armor to fit you best. As Glen said, you get what you pay for. Do the research, ask the questions, check with members in your local area to see their armor (and maybe try some of it on), to get as much info as you can. And please remember to ask questions here, the forum is very active and you will get lots (sometime more than you'd like) feedback. Best luck on your journey to join us!

Hey Joseph, There are several of us in Garrison Tyranus that are working on Vader Costumes (Myself included). As Glen pointed out, please come join us on the Sith Lord Detachment forum, or post on the Garrison Tyranus Forum.

Are these the cgtrader files everyone is talking about? https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-print-models/art/other/star-wars-rogue-one-tk-first-imperial-stormtrooper-armor?fbclid=IwAR3pGrNu87G1MozVgYZFuSlRbi_UdeBy4a0A3tOjcTrAACQJCQkPUaizpSI Sent from my SM-N981U1 using Tapatalk

Yes, there are some things you can't get access to with being an approved Stormtrooper.

Troop 31 Neptune Festival Parade, Virginia Beach What a great turn out. we had Merch, RL and 501st. 3 mile parade, and then unfortunately a 3 mile walk back.

Congrats! Great work! Now can we get Cardinal done!

So I'm going to try my hand a building a R1TK. I'm starting with Nico's helmet and we'll see where we go from there. I'm hoping that @BigJasoni might be willing to give me some pointers as his thread is what his me hope, and the fact he is in my Garrison. LOL. I've started printing some parts from Nico, and OxProps. Would love to see if @TKModder421 is offering any of his files as I really liked some of the mods he made. Anyway, here are some random pics of my helmet so far. Sent from my SM-N981U1 using Tapatalk

Hey Greg, How is the project coming? I bought Nico's files recently and just started printing them. Would love to see how your version is coming along. The raw steps look amazing.
