Doomhammer[TK] Posted February 2, 2020 Report Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Hello there! I've been looking around the forums for a while now and finally say "Hello". I'm 30 years old, form Germany and trying to figure out what to do, to achieve my goal . I would love to make a TLJ stormtrooper, but don't have any experience to do so. So many shops to choose from and pros/cons for each one of them. After some research I decided to order: Armor kit from KBprops Boots and gloves from IB Undersuit and Neck-seal from stormtrooperundersuit Missing (found no shop so far): Gaskets Belt F-11D Blaster Still looking and researching how to get a proper FO-TK and happy for any advice and tips greetings, Ian Edited February 2, 2020 by Doomhammer 1 Quote

T-Jay[TK] Posted February 3, 2020 Report Posted February 3, 2020 Welcome Ian. Did you already get in contact with your local 501st Squad? Depending of the area you live in, we can find a local Attaché for you. Quote

Frank75139[501st] Posted February 3, 2020 Report Posted February 3, 2020 I've send an Email already and waiting... Might take a few extra days so don’t get discouraged. Some garrisons come to a complete stop around this time with Legion elections in full swing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

Exactly what I thought, so here is an overview that might help you. 4 of 5 German Squads do have an Attaché, so your chances are very good. Edited February 3, 2020 by T-Jay Quote

Thanks for the (fast) help and advice so far! I asked 850 Armory for a Blaster kit. Is a 3D printed enough or better 100$more for a resin kit? "We can produce a solid resin cast F11 kit at $200. We can 3D print one at $100." Quote

"We can produce a solid resin cast F11 kit at $200. We can 3D print one at $100." There are builds based on both of these materials. Resin kits are very popular and have been the choice of countless troopers for many years now (at least for the common E-11 versions). Meanwhile 3D-prints are on the market, too and the big issue here is: how accurate are the files?! To find the right blaster for you, I suggest to first study the CRL of your preferred costume. Then check the requirements for that specific blaster(s) to bring it up to level 2 and 3. Then look again at your $200-resin kit and the $100 3D-print to distinguish, which one fits best. In case you are not familiar with levels 2 and 3, here is an introduction to this. Any questions, just ask. Quote
