ENFORCER

Thanks guys, yeah i agree about weathering the helmet more. My good friend is going to show me on how to do that, i bought this armor from a trooper from Scotland. The one thing that stands out for me is that i am one of the few tall troopers i know, i am 6' 5", all the bigger and badder for dealing with the Rebel scum. The back pack will hopefully be done very soon, i have more or less everything for it. It's just a matter of time of putting it all together.

Hi guys, sorry it has taken so long to get pics up since i introduced myself. Finally figured out photobucket I got my 501st approval last December,i still have to finish up my back pack. Hopefully you like what you see, needless to say i am over the moon myself...lol looking forward to hearing from you guys on your thoughts.

Looks awesome !!!!!!

Welcome Andy, nice to see a fellow Scot joining the ranks

Thanks Nol, not sure if you remember me but i posted on here very late in the year about first time armor buyer. Just want to say thanks to you and all other Sandies who helped me to get where i am now. I already got to try the armor out at my kids school, kids were taken back by a 6' 5" Sandtrooper...lol . Thanks again to everyone...you all know who yous are

Hi there name is Rob, from Niagara Falls Canada. just got my 501st approval on Dec 25, so now i am TD 6305. As soon as i have my back pack all sorted i will figure out how you post the pics on here. Looking forward to getting to know everyone better. THANKS rob

Most impressive!!!!!!!

Hope you still feel better the next morn Dave, i liked what pics i seen of your weekend trooping. Just got an email tonight to say that i should be receiving my helmet by the 15th November, can hardly wait

Fantastic pics, nice to see what started all the craze away back in 1977. Thanks Robmac

Well done guys, this is why i am itching to get my first armor. Its all about the smiles of the kids and parents, make a kid smile....JOB WELL DONE

In europe the x-acto knife is just known as a stanley knife, well thats what they are called in Scotland before i moved here to Canada and asked for a stanley and i got some weird looks i can tell you....lol Rob

Duly noted Dave thank you one and all

Thanks a lot Nol

thanks again guys, you have all given me some good homework to do. one question that keeps going over and over again is the fact that i am 6' 5" are there armor available in my size??

Thanks Dirty Boy, i looked up Nols links and it's pretty safe to say a bit overwhelming at the armor that is available. I am thinking on going with the ABS armor, reason being that it already has the gloss fininsh. I am open to suggestions on different armor, thanks again to those of the MEPD who rsponded to this call for help. Thanks everyone Robmac

Thank you for a quick reply, i will look them up. Thanks Rob

Hi there, i am in the midst of looking up armor that will be value for money and meet the requirements to join 501st. I was wondering if any fellow members could give me some advice on where to even start???? All help is gratefully appreciated Thanks in advance Rob PS i live in Niagara Falls Canada, so if anybody knows of a north American vendor that would be great.
