TB4097

all I can say is....WOW

Well after going thru all my boxes I began to see the future of my TD. I saw where my deficiencies were and have begun working on them. First was the pack. For the most part it was good, just a few things had to go. the Cistern was bad and the radio box was falling apart. The spacing also needs to be adjusted. So I tore it down, repainted the frame and rebuilt the radio box. The radio face is salvageable but the box needed an over haul. So, I bought some corrugated plastic and "L" brackets and made a box. After that I applied 3M spray adhesive to it and wrapped it in aluminum foil. Tomorrow I will over it in fiberglass. Thats one box that wont break! I am also going to make the upper left box the same way. After that its time to find the replacement cistern. Let the good times roll on.

well it is a great day, not one, not two, but three large boxes arrived today! Let the good times roll....

Today is a great day. My TD parts begin arriving via USPS. Talk about anxiously waiting all week. I even took the day off from work so I can be home for Mr. Postman. I will post the pictures tonight. All I can say is...SWEET! On another awesome note, I worked with Zach (trading card designer for BSN) this week editing pics for trading cards and the results are in:

I checked TKBoots and bookmarked them. Now my next question is I wear a 10.5, but they sell whole sizes. Do boots run big or small. I have typical feet, no anomolys or anything, should I order 10 or 11?

I have been searching the forums doing research on the boots, and found its a bit of daunting task. So I defer to my fellow experts. could you all give me some pointers or recommendations on wear to acquire the proper boots. I am not the most inclined when it comes to making, so purchasing would be my best bet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. John

Greetings and Salutations My names John and I am a retired Army Cavalry Scout (TB4097) hence my first 501st approved kit being a scout, but now I am going to do a sand trooper. I currently reside in Las Vegas, and I feel like I will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villiany. Serious, this place is really bad. So I felt a TD would be appropriate. currently, I am in need of a neck seal, boots and under armor, so if you all can recommend it would be greatly appreciate. otherwise, I am proud to soon serve the MEPD.
