I picked one of these up at disney for 26 bucks when I was on leave a couple of weeks ago. They had 2 TD and a ton of Lukes.

I'm orig from south florida, was in the ES. Started getting my info transferred over the weekend. I now officially live in Delaware.

I don't plan on it, the time I spent trooping from 2006 to 2008 was awesome, making kids smile made spending all this money worth it haha.

Hey all, I figured since I am getting around to working on my armor I should post my progress pics. I joined the 501st back in 2006 when I turned 18 as a TK, and always wanted to be a TD. Well slowly I gathered up the gear and dirtied up my armor. I was on the way to fully convert my TK to TD when I enlisted, but being a cargo crew chief took a lot of my time. Fast forward 5 years and I am sitting at Disney with my wife and 1 year old daughter. After riding star tours twice, I caught the 501st bug again. So here are some pics of my armor so far. I do have a list of some mods and some repairs I have to accomplish. But then main one is that I have to change out my AB and Knee Plate.

I guess I am not "new" but rather coming back from a long Hiatus. My name is Justin, I was in the ES down in FL before I enlisted in the U.S.A.F. but kinda fell off the Star Wars wagon for the past 5 years. I now have brought my armor up to where I am stationed in Delaware (Garrison Carida) and looking to getting back into trooping, after I upgrade my armor and fully convert it to TD and get pulled off the Inactive list for the 501st. Its nice to see how the M.E.P.D. has grown since I last looked at the site 5 years ago. It is great to be back!!

The last pic was actually upside down when I took it lol so I reversed it.

I dirtied up my armor the other day and had to wait for my digital camera to come home. Here are some pics of it. I know the AB plate and knee are not right. I will fix that when I finish buying everything for my Boba Fett. And I noticed the helmet looks light in the pics, mostly cayse of the flash. In person it is darker. But I will throw another layer of dust (paint and water mixed) on it.

I was wondering if it was, I was in such a hurry that I put it on upside down lol Luckily enough it is connected by velcro lol

I thought I would show off my Pack I received from TD-8733. The pack is awesome! Its light, and looks really nice. Sadly I dont have any pics of it with my armor, since I am going to be weathering that after my first day of class tmrw, I get to start up classes again tmrw lol So for now all I can show is a pick of the pack I received.

Dude thats cool I would love to get my hands on something that was used in the movies.

Thats cool dude, I would love to talk to those guys

I have the industrail velcro inside my thigh armor works wonderful especially in parades like at Star Wars Weekends.

Is this the same sandtrooper? I think that one was a early model.

wow they look awesome man, you should do what everyone is saying and make extras and sell them.

I found that dengar carries it but other than that I dont think any of the sandtroopers carried it cause a 42 probally costs much more than a 34. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl= ... en%26lr%3D thats where i found it

o crap i misread wut he was asking I thought he was asking for the 34. wow im out of it today and me loving german weaponry from WWII.

(disregard the yellow arrow) from the davin felth site

O yeah I forgot that I remember readin that on the forum, well hopefully next year ill be troopin with u

Hey at least your going to be vader and not like the emperor. Well I hope I get to troop with you sometime, maybe next year for SWW when my TD will be complete and maybe your vader?

Do you mean the Fallschirmjager? when you mean Fallschirmspringer? I never heard of Fallschirmspringer before.

Yeah i noticed it I found that on imperial props .com or something like that. I just like it cause he is kinda leaning lol.

If you take away the BFG as a requirement, I mean it is a lil hard to do when your building abilites suck, like mine. But youll get guys like this guy right here drop boxes still on, no sniper knee plate, just a bfg really and I think a backpack? I cant remember, it was at star wars weekends and yes thats me the guy in the black hat. Actually he doesnt have a back pack just pauldron, ammo pouch and a BFG and is dirty

sweet man I like the scout trooper caption lol

I was talkin to my mom and she said before u buy military gear, like reenacting and stuff talk to your uncle he gets discounts on all of that stuff so im going to give my uncle a call about these and see if I can get them for cheaper.

so im guessing its ok to use those then?
