supa troop

i cannot say enough how cool the Mini Back pack is John did a great job on getting the details right, i dont mind admitting it is the best thing about the whole costume i just wish the armour was of a higher standard to match the Pack. i cant wait to get a full sized one for my display

Hi Dave a total misunderstanding of the highest order especially as i didnt ask any one for advice on anything, why would i lets be totally honest. i spent all day Saturday trying to find fullers earth to weather the armour in time for Sunday but failed the misunderstanding i believe was down to one of your female spotters she clearly thought seeing that my Sons kit was un-weathered that it should be, in order for him to be a Sandtrooper. Why did she feel the need ?? we didnt ask !!! i dont particularly want to get into a public debate over a childs costume i did say above i would pm you, at no point have i said that you "ripped my sons kit to pieces", you are clearly very knowledgeable about sandtroopers but even the wife said a little more tact was perhaps needed, i know how this works how some people live and breath this stuff, but im afraid a boy of 9 doesnt understand the need for greay decals, a diamond knee plate and the correct ab plate, he just wanted to play at being a Sandtrooper, and once we had settled him down he had a great time.

hi here a couple the day before the Con, the backpack was made by John The Quartermaster

Ah Dave, it would seem i owe you a an Apology, at some point when i get 5 il drop you a pm

Oh mate i wish you of said something it would have been good to actually meet after all these years

Had the first outing at a proper Con today with my Little Boy in his TD Suit i was very proud of him as he kept his Armour on a Good 3 hours obviously having plenty of water breaks, The Back Pack got a little heavey for him so i had to help him with that. he had a great time and he really enjoyed his time.The was one small issue with a UK 501st member who tried to spoil the fun, which realy incensed me but anyway on with the pics i hope you enjoy. Meeting a Dalek Eval Kinevals Bike Meeting The Stig (UK TV programme Top Gear) Arnt you a little small to be an AT-AT Loyal Body Gaurd With A fellow Trooper Meeting Brian Muir

We had our First Test Troop Today before the big event Tomorrow (sunday) just a wonder around the streets where we live all seems to be ok Heres a few pictures for you The First is for the MEPD Quarter Master John, without your help he wouldnt look half as cool.. Showing our Support to the MEPD Mini TD reporting for duty Ready for Action Will Add more for you tommorow

this has got to be one of my most favourite threads any where on any forum, the research and work that has gone into this is outstanding

hey Rick do it mate i cant wait to see my Lad go off in the complete kit for the first time, ive test fitted it with him a few times and its great seeing the look on his face, and watching him pretend to be a real life Trooper

you know what John i think your right, i think he wants to go Dirty because Sandtroopers are my Fav and i may just say to him "look its fine if you want to saty clean" by the way il have a special picture for you posted this weekend

i havent seen my lad for a few weeks so ive not been able to do much test fitting of the Armour, it gets its first outing this weekend so i have a dilemma. He has a fantastic back pack but not much else Sandtrooper related has been done to the armour so here is the dilemma To dirty or not to dirty that is the question

on average we pay 1.40 per ltr

my advice if your worried about room and your health would be to Put the EFX on the shelf as a show piece and look for the oversized FX helmet. Im assuming you have armour to go with the EFX ?? does that run quite small too?? again you would have a nice display piece buy dispaying your current armour and you could troop in the FX love the Truck too

well i did a quick search for you and it seems this guy has been given a TD id and is also a member of the 501st, however it does say his name is classified my bet is its the same person get in touch with his Garrison Commander 501st Legion - Member Search Results 1 record(s) found for 8733 in the category of tkid TKID Name Nickname Garrison TD 8733 Classified Record Garrison Tyranus

is that anything that can be done to help this guy at least get some of his money back, that is just disgusting how you have been treated. My sons mini back pack is far superior to that but having said that it was built here buy the best. oh man this sucks .....

yeah this is good advice throw them around and just abuse them, putting on black shoe polish will just make it look artificially done you want the worn in dirty look

hey if your new and need help your in the right place these guys although a little dirty know their stuff

thanks guys

i hope you dont mind me asking this here ive finished my boys TK ready for his first outing this weekend, im not going to have to time to weather it so he will be a clean sandtrooper. i have a slight problem with his helmet the decals are starting to peel is there anything i can do to make them restick, i dont have enough time to source a mini set of decals. i promise to finish my helmet soon and show you progress

My Friend i never count chickens until they hatch

errrr who said that all the best on your Hols

totally agree Graham, when it becomes personal its wrong. however without getting drawn into a large debate, AA hasnt exactly helped himself, i doubt the truth will ever be truly know about who sculpted the Trooper helmets, id love it to have been Liz Moore but without hard facts and evidence its sadly one mans word against another. on a positive note, i may have a nice set of ?? Armour arriving soon ....... yeah right

well well well im sure you guys here know about the Court case that is happening at the moment between AA and LFL, Well some guys have hyjacked AAs Face Book page and are waging war and personal vendettas against him on there, well a certain someone (am i allowed to name him) has joined in the AA bashing and dragging up old news from days gone by. One of the reasons i became dispondant in this Hobby and kind of gave up on the Trooping side of things is due to "he who cannot be named" In the old days i was a closet fan of ?? and would sometimes try and defend him on the RPF but like everyone else i quickly got fed up of him and the enevitable happened. Like many Folks ive always wanted to own a ?? set of Trooper Armour, and was delighted that about 3 and half years ago i had saved up enough to get a set. After a few emails exchanged i promtly parted with my Money and 3 and half years later im still waiting ............for years TE has ignored me and for years ive heard his lies. Well now im a little more optimistic after all this time his bitterness has finally bitten him on the backside, by sheer chance i happend to check the AA face Book page and there he was, oh boy did i give it to him publicly He has now Promised me and i gather a few other people my set of ?? Armour that i paid for nearly 3 and half yrs ago So my dilemma now is do i celebrate that i will get my ?? or do i still not believe a word of it time will tell i suppose

Congratulations to you both she is indeed beautiful ........ You have taken your first steps into a larger world and it will just get better

i love threads like this ..................
