Videos or no, you can find literally every single bit of information and step by step on the FISD detachment forum over at whitearmor.net.

Welcome!

I'm nowhere near Ypsilanti but I'd be more than happy to help out over pictures and text! Any questions, feel free to post them. I built the same suit you've got years ago. It's not as scary as you think!

This, plus they're also built custom to our bodies.

Check out the Imperial Officer Cosplay Group on Facebook.

I work for a screen printing company here in Grand Rapids.

Be careful choosing a business as many of them are simply brokers that sell your order to an actual screen printing shop and pocket the difference (source: about 80% of our business ).

Sounds good to me.

Get in line

I just added some updated pics to my FISD TK pre-approval thread. I fixed the items mentioned I last email sent. I realize that you guys went from MCCC to holiday weekend back to back. I’m trying to be patient, but am anxious to join the ranks of the empire. Hope to hear from you soon. Long live th...

Well, it's been awhile but I have made a lot of progress since my last post. I have the full costume assembled and only need to make some minor adjustments. Below are some pictures. In know it is not the best lighting but I wanted to get some shots in before nightfall and before the bad weather thi...

Where are you located? There are build parties coming up in West MI.

I dug up a photo from when I was at the same point as you. Here's the side view of what my armor looked like before cutting an angle on the butt plate, and putting everything together for approval.

1. Yeah, more or less. When doing fitting you're going to want to tape those together on the side for the correct fitting. 2. Usually it kind of sits on top but overlaps in the corners in some cases. I've never seen a back plate that's shaped like yours, though. So it's difficult to make any recomme...

I might swing by just to hang out and help if anybody needs it.

Cheers to all you beautiful kids. Looking forward to plenty of trooping in 2019!

I would recommend asking on the /r/detroit or /r/michigan subreddits, where many more people browse.

I would recommend either Henry's Helmet Fans, or just get some cheap squirrel fans and do 'em yourself.

The latter would be the cheapest way to go. Just buy some small fans and a USB adapter.
