Hello Paul and welcome to FISD! The feature on Netflix is awesome, and it explains exactly what we do and what we are about! Many go with the OT Stormtroopers, and we have a lot of detailed build threads of those particular customes, which I suspect you've had a look at already? Is the extra levels of accuracy something you've been looking into, Expert Infantry and Centurion? The first step is already done, and that's the hardest one - just picking one custome to start with! I know the excitement that you feel and the excitement you have ahead of you, so we're really looking forward to see your journey unfold! Congratulations on finding your way here, and for taking the decision to join the best community in the world that gives so much joy to so many!

Wohooo congratulations Torben! #1085

Crazy trip down memory lane, I've been in this mall when I was a little kid, standing in this very spot!

Welcome to the FISD trooper! That custom santa hat is awesome!!!

That's awesome trooper!!

There needs to be a CRL first, but if you're there one that we base the CRL on (a.k.a the first approvable costume) then the CRL would first be created and once it is, you send your images to your GML as usual

Congrats on hitting 75 brother!

Congratulations on the 75 Paul! And what a way of doing it!

Hello and welcome to the forum Alvaro! Glad to have you here! We currently have a few people building the Enoch! I would also suggest going here to check out some of them to learn more about it! https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/266-cpt-enoch-build-threads/

76. 2023-12-12, Musikhjälpen 2024 (The Music Help), Sundsvall (Hero) 77. 2023-12-13, Musikhjälpen 2024 (The Music Help), Sundsvall (Hero) 78. 2023-12-14, Musikhjälpen 2024 (The Music Help), Sundsvall (Hero) 79. 2023-12-15, Musikhjälpen 2024 (The Music Help), Sundsvall (Hero) These four days have been crazy, to say the least. "The Music Help" (lazily translated from Swedish to English) is an annual charity event that is a live TV broadcast! For one week, three presenters are locked inside a "cage" where they only eat soup and take turns in presenting so that there is coverage 24/7 for a week. Swedish national television and radio collaborate to send out the broadcast on both mediums. The way it works, is that people donate X amount of money to get a song of their choice played live. There are multiple Swedish artists that perform inside the cage and people auctioning off items or artworks and the like. This year's charity theme was: "Everyone has the right to survive their pregnancy", and the money that was donated will go towards different projects that will reduce the amount of deaths during a pregnancy and delivery. Every two seconds, someone dies during their pregnancy/delivery - and 70% out of all the deaths happen in Africa, and we know what the solution is, so summed up most of the deaths are because of the lack of money. So, what is our role in this? We are outside the cage, dancing, giving high fives, spreading Star Wars love and we're collecting money for this charity event as we've done now for 12 years in a row. Dare I say we've become "famous" because of it, and are expected by the citizens to show up - and the pure love that we receive outside the cage is incredible and it really shows. We've received so many hugs and donations and my heart is filled with peace and love. 76. 2023-12-12, Musikhjälpen 2024 (The Music Help), Sundsvall (Hero) Someone caught us on TV the first night! We had a late start due to travelling 4 hours north from Stockholm, to Sundsvall. Some of our members had travelled for 6 hours (and they drove south, crazy to realize how big my own country really is). 77. 2023-12-13, Musikhjälpen 2024 (The Music Help), Sundsvall (Hero) 78. 2023-12-14, Musikhjälpen 2024 (The Music Help), Sundsvall (Hero) The day started out... well... I was hyped and ready to go out, or so I thought. I had forgotten a crucial detail! Here you see me as I realize it! This has never happened for 78 troops, but my 79th troop... disaster struck! I had just taken everything on and had to take most of it just to take it on again! So annoying!!! We were invited into the cage for an interview, and to push our initiative (there are multiple initiatives where people send money to, and the Swedish Garrison had one too) - I was not one of the people inside the cage, but we stood outside in the front row to cheer them on! @Coil was the Din Djarin. 79. 2023-12-15, Musikhjälpen 2024 (The Music Help), Sundsvall (Hero) I'm as I said filled with joy, and we've done an amazing job. As you might have seen - we opt for not wearing our TDs, because we are out in public and the cage being situated in a square in the city (a different city for every year of the event), it gets really crowded! I think someone got their TD stolen once and since then we tend to take the safest option and just simply not wear it (although I feel brave sometimes). It is a non-cannon event anyways so it is acceptable. We've been outside in negative celsius for four days, trooping about 5-6 hours every day, and I can tell you - the condensation inside the helmet is insane! We always need to pack our helmets with paper tissues to soak up the water that builds up, especially on the inside of the pertruding edges that goes around the mic tips. I'm sore in every part of my body because of the constant dancing for hours! But I close off this year of trooping with an amazing event on my resume, and this year's total was: 38 troops! Until next time! Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!

Nice one! I'm sure it will look great!

Hello again James! Just checking in, how is everything going with your Enoch build? Do you have any updates for us? I've seen your build thread and it looks good so far!

Hello Mark, and welcome to the forum! Thanks for sharing the picture, you're probably very productive in your office now that you have a Stormtrooper making sure that you're working? Must feel awesome!

Congrats on the first troop with the Japanese Garrison!

Congratulations on your 20th troop John! What a great one it was at that, the Children's Hospital!

Thanks Gerald! Haha yeah bring it on!!

Thank you so much Paul! I love how we (you, me and @Doggydoc) still make the most of it and keep it up! You both are an inspiration for sure to keep it going! Always fun to follow along!

Wow that's so awesome! Congratulations TK 30455! Welcome to the ranks trooper!

74. 2024-11-30, Nördarnas Julmarknad 2024 (The Nerds' Christmas Market), Stockholm (Hero, with Grappling Hook/Comlink) 75. 2024-12-01, Nördarnas Julmarknad 2024 (The Nerds' Christmas Market), Stockholm (Hero, with Grappling Hook/Comlink) Got my 74th and 75th troop this weekend! It is a lovely nerdy market that happens every year! The turnout on the Saturday was great, and a little more relaxed on the Sunday! Absolutely lovely! I received my Grappling Hook/Comlink set from Joseph finally after a 9 month wait (the package had been in transit for 9 months, crossing the atlantic sea about 3 times for some reason ), so I really had to use it for these couple of troops! Such an awesome thing to have! Close up! Me and @Lafleur in the changing room Quite a nice turnout for this event! We're usually 2 or 3 people! We had a large Lucia parade (or "train" as we say in Swedish), it is an old tradition in Sweden! @Lafleur had a funny E-11 blaster toy for the Lucia parade! 75. 2024-12-01, Nördarnas Julmarknad 2024 (The Nerds' Christmas Market), Stockholm (Hero, with Grappling Hook/Comlink) We dropped a Santa hat on the floor, and we realized that we were alone and no one could bend down to pick it up, luckily my handy dandy Grappling Hook could be of assistance!! Finally got it! Christmas vibes brought to you by the grappling hook! December has only just begun and I've already been sent to Whamhalla!

Requesting the 75 troops badge!

Awesome to hear David!! Will you start when you get back from overseas in the end of January, or do you have your kit with you over there?

Amazing pics!

Congrats Justin!!! Looking great!

Hello Felix, just checking in - how is everything going?
