Congrats and welcome!

Congrats!

Congrats, and good work!

Looks like he ripped a$$ in that dudes face to me. Maybe he just ate a Jedi Bean and Cheese burrito.

While I do not have them in my helmet (Yet), I have read that squirrel fans will all but eliminate this problem. You might want to check out this thread over on FISD http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showtopic=10211&st=0&p=128839&hl=squirrel&fromsearch=1entry128839

Looks like you got it nailed down. Congrats and welcome aboard

Looking fwrd to seeing your gear, good luck

Those are sweet dude! Hey curious, compared to the MRCE how big are those beauties?

What is interesting is that there are two Squad Leader pauldrons in the same squad. Also the squad leader with the T-21 is not wearing a field backpack because he is the stunt man that will do a tuck and roll when they enter Docking Bay 94. Which he would not have been able to do with a pac on.

There was a direct link on the main boards forever so that might help. I have a copy and its pretty sweet. In fact its the only copy I watch anymore. Love watching it with the special features where he explains what he did. Which I find both funny and entertaining. When I was a kid I was a fan of the radio play which has a slightly different audio track like Luke crying out for Biggs just after he gets blown away. Well as an adult I thought I had imagined that as a kid. It was cool to hear that audio inserted back into the movie along with a few others. (and yes I do own the regular DVD copy which I guess makes me legal)

Man I love this thread, there is not one bad helmet in the bunch. Sandtroopers are like snow flakes no two are ever the same. Which is one of the things that makes being a TD so cool IMHO. Unlike our TK and Clone brothers we get to give our armor a little of our own personality. It safe to say that no matter which way you decide to go you will change it up a few times before its all said and done. And most important post a ton of picture for us to see.

Sandtroopers are warriors, we can survive the harshest weather, fight the toughest battles.... answer a @##$ing phone? .......NOT SO MUCH Great pictures posted by another member More pictures here

Looking good dude, even the wall matches your armor..now thats hard core

Wow Rob , Looking great ! Is that the Sideshow 12" or the Marmit sandtrooper?

As you may or may not know Star Wars: In Concert will be returning for a much larger tour! The 501st's San Diego Squad invaded our local PBS station. While there we filmed some stuff to be aired during next Mondays pledge drive which will be showing Star Wars: In Concert Behind the Screens. Notice the super high tech monitors! Can we say Oregon Trail?? ummmm yea Stormtroopers should never, ever take phone calls during pledge drives!! Leave it up to Stromtroopers to just want to shoot everything they see. (insert laser effects here) I will try to tevo the stuff we shot and youtube it next week. Many thanks to Christian ID-6450 for the pictures

Oh you guys let me break this down for you... Darth Vader is looking for R2D2 & C3P0 C3P0 is a protocol droid he built when he was a kid for his mom but now has no memory of R2D2 is a droid which fought besides him in many battles, was his co-pilot when he blew up the sepratist mother ship and aslo saved Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Queen Amidala when there shields failed over Tatoonie and like 3P0 he seems to not have any memory of. Now R2 and 3P0 are bought by the Lars family who are secretly hiding Luke from Darth Vader BUT 1. They do not raise him as their son which would have been the smart thing to do since his father can feel him from very far away. 2.They never even bother to change his last name making it very easy for anyone to just use Imperial Google to find him. ALL DARTH HAD TO DO IS GOOGLE. SKYWALKER + HOME PLANET. Now 3PO, R2, and Luke end up with Obi-Wan Kenobi (yet again IMPERIAL GOOGLE+HOME PLANET would have saved alot of time) Darth's Sandtroopers find the Lars go GoodFellas on them... Obi-Wan Kenobi takes Luke to a bar tho Luke is under 21 but lets move on. They meet up with a 200 year old space monkey and his Pirate friend. End up on the Death Star save Luke's sister which he ends up making out with and oh yea.. Darth has no idea of he has a daughter even tho he just went Marathon Man on her ... Darth Kills Obi but not really... the fly to Mexico...errr I mean Yavin, Fly back to the Death Star Blow it up thanks Lukes X-Wing and The Millennium Falcon (which was easily captured just the day before with a tractor beam but for some reason now no one thinks of do so again allowing the Rebels an easy lay up to the thermal shaft) Luke get a metal in front of 100's of fellow rebel pilots who for some reason didn't help Luke just the day before thinking it was a good idea to sit this one out and let a 19 y.o. with no combat experience do the fighting for them. Guess there was a good game on TV that night or something. Okay so Darth Luke's dad remember? Hunts Luke and his pals down, killing 100,000s of thousands along the way but Luke still feels the good in him... umm did someone say Hitler was good with dogs? anyway FWRD Han gets frozen then unfrozen un-buttons his shirt and then re-frozen (look it up) Then Han is saved thanks to the help of Dash Rendar who no one seems to remember... Then final battle, teddy bears, and 2 old dudes riding in the back of the Millennium Falcon with Lando and Nien Nunb .....seriously what were the two old dudes doing on board besides making random odd facial expressions?? Darth fights Luke, Luke owns Darth, Darth tosses Emperor down a shaft Darth now looks 80 even tho he is still in his late 50s.. Luke has a Dath-be-que .. Anakins ghost ends up hanging out with Obi-wan and Yoda who let all of this happen by fumbling the ball on the whole "chosen one" ooops my bad.. The End... ---record scratch----- wait how does Darth end up a Ghost? didn't Yoda and Obi-Wan take years of talking to Qui-Gon from beyond the grave to learn how to do this?? Why does Anakin's ghost now look like Hayden Christiansen wouldn't that mean that Obi-Wan's ghost would look like Ewan McGregor?? ummmm NEVER MIND , MOVE ALONG, MOVE ALONG!!

Nol Honestly the only problem I see with such a nice radio is that you will need a wrangler walking behind you if you ever wear that to a Con. I can totally see some punk or random person trying to turn those knobs and flipping those switches. And breaking things off. And in a crowded convention floor it would be heard to know if someone was doing so too.

Nice, like Deployed icons... this place just keeps getting better and better

OMG you guys just brought back a repressed memory!! I remember when Return Of The Jedi came out 1st day, Good Mourning America did a thing were they had people that won a contest to view it at midnight the night before and as I watched them being interviewed THEY CAME TO A KID -CENSORED-ing little snot nosed ******* of a kid who was asked.....-pause to catch breath- GOOD MOURNING AMERICA- who is your favorite Star Wars character? SNOT NOSED ******* KID- DARTH VADER GOOD MOURNING AMERICA- WHY DARTH VADER? SNOT NOSED ******* KID- BECAUSE HE KILLS THE EMPEROR AND SAVES LUKE SKYWALKER! GOOD MOURNING AMERICA- OOOPS I DON'T THINK YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO SAY THAT. -me- NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will never forget that kid and if I ever meet him I am going to head butt him 'cuz he ruined ROTJ for a few million people that mourning.

**** it, Nol make sure you post *Spoiler* next time, man and I was planning on watching the Empires Strikes Back tonight too, so much for that... No really how lame is it that on the last SE Empires Strike back that they updated it where the Emperor tells us that Luke is his son way before they reach Bespin??? I know that things have changed but man talk about lame.. I am okay with most of the SE stuff but geezzz GL go do a SE of Howard the Duck next time...

wait this is the easy round?

In a million years I would have not noticed that for some reason

Thats awesome dude! A Trekkie and a Sandy getting married who would have ever guessed. I had a Halloween wedding myself. Congratulations!

Congrats dude and more important make sure you stay safe and get back to us after your tour!! Look fwrd to many troops with you brother

Well if its eating up resources I see you point, but if it doesn't then I say keep it. I personally don't use it but its a tool a non-English speaking newbie could use in the future.
