Darn hippies...with their Grateful Dead and free love...... Welcome Bert, good to see more sandies poppin up.

Welcome Timothy. Great pics. I'll be in TE armor soon as well. I hear it's great stuff.

Looks great. Love the whole banner you did with the MEPD logo.

I finally got the chance to speak to TE on the phone about a month or so ago when I was on the hunt for armor. He seems like a very nice guy. I can't wait to see the package outside my door soon so I can get dirty.

Welcome

Just hit 3 myself

Good to see another wants to get dirty I'm working on one myself. Welcome aboard

I've got my stuff in Rubbermaid, but I was thinking about getting a mannequin from this seller on ebay. They showed some of his on The Dented Helmet, then I checked him out. They look cool.

Welcome aboard.

I lost my Mom and Aunt to cancer and that was incredibly hard. I can't imagine what losing your child must be like. At least she's no longer suffering.

Good to "meet" you Randall. Welcome.

I love the color scheme. That way you're fellow troopers won't lose you. Seriously though, it's looking good.

Glad to see you're back. I was getting a lil worried.

I was wondering if anyone added a mini soundsystem to their pack to play the Imp March or any other effects? I'm putting a pack together and would really like to do that. Any suggestions for setting something up?

Welcome Chip. As soon as I get my armor together I want to get into the Midwest garrison as well.

You're like Pigpen of the Peanuts Gang.

It looks great.

Welcome Paul.

Paint it? Wow, I thought it was already white plastic. How do you paint it(type of paint/method)?

Can anyone post pics/send them to me so I can compare TE, ANH and FX. I know I can get ahold of FX and ANH almost for sure, and TE I'm trying to get in touch with. Is there any difference in the kits, is one harder/easier than the others. Thanks.

Thanks for all the help guys. I didn't even know about TE until the other day, so I'm going to try and get ahold of that. Other stormies that I've talked to have said the same about it. I have been picking up pieces here and there for my outfit. Now I just need the main piece

motman241, any more pics of you backpack?

I'll be 35 in August.

I saw that site last night, very cool stuff there. I heard that with the FX armor if you're not taller then you look like a bobble-head. I want to get quality armor and I don't mind dirtying it up

Hi, My names Mike and I have a couple costumes right now (Rocketeer & custom Mandalorian), but I want to be a sandtrooper and join the 501st(and hopefully the MEPD) I'm in the market for armor and am stuck between the 3 I've heard of. Can anyone give me their opinions of TE,ANH and AFX. I'm 5'8" with a pretty good sized melon so helmet size may be an issue. For those of you've who have Mando buckets you can compare best. I can wear a MLC(BIG helmet), Mystery, and a DP Deluxe. I have a DP95 that I can't fit in at all. Any help you can offer will be appreciated. There's a nice looking set(to my untrained eyes) on ebay right now, but since the seller is 6' tall I'd have to do some cutting and I'm not the best at prop/costume building.
