I guess this is as good a place as any to start from.. The beginning.. *da-da-tish* I can't promise a thorough build thread here but I will try to keep it up to date at least.
So.. My name is Jake, forum name Tech'Nomad. I'm based in Firestone, CO and my first build is a TIE Pilot (from FAC). As the topic title states, my son got an 'F' and that is a good thing. He is a sophomore in HS and he lettered in Jazz for the electric bass. He plans on doing it again next year with Concert Band and Advanced Jazz.
Sorry I appear to be rambling. Must be the Nomad part.
I'm building a TD so that when he graduates from HS, he can join the 501st Legion. He has squired with me on several troops already and is helpful with members of our Squad and Garrison. And in the long run, if he no longer wants to wear it (or can't, since he is 6'1" and 15), then I have another set of armor to choose from.
Now how about some pictures:
This years build clinic at FAC:

And I wanted to lay the pieces out to see what we have.
I still need to get boots, soft parts, pack, and a decent BFG, etc...
