Airborne Trooper

I'm glad to see that won't be implemented. I saw many of the purposed ones up to vote but not that one. I've literally been wanting to accomplish this goal for years and about had a heart attack when I read that. I see some reasoning behind some of those and also agree with some but disagree with others. Today was snap hold making day and hope to have everything except the legs done tomorrow. Need to have that done first so I can accurately assemble and size the thighs. I have a build thread on FISD but will start a new one here

Hello, everyone! I've been lurking here for years and it wasn't until this year that I was finally able to pull the trigger and pick up a nice MTK kit. I'm about 80% done with my build and now I am at a potential road block. I see in the potential CRL update that there's a possibility of not allowing sandtroopers shorter than 5'8". Well, I'm 5'5". Should I sell my pouches I just got and go TK? My budget is pretty tight so I'm not interested in spending more money just to be told I'm not eligible.

Looking good, I just started my MTK kit this week.

I would love to but I don't have the tools or space to do any wood work in my apartment.

Haha, I'm learning very quickly that this hobby can become quite expensive. Although a lot cheaper than my car hobby, the wifey basically said this would be my only set of armor for a long time. Back on topic.... I bought a size 9 and they fit larger on me, but since I plan on putting in some insoles it shouldn't be a big deal.

Sorry I was referring to the T-21, but they Doopy's doesn't make those. They won't ship their DLT-19 due to high shipping rate. I will be buying a E-11 from them soon though

No kidding, just have to wait until WoodChuck starts another run since I can't get Doopy's in the US.

Thanks! I wasn't aware of that!

Mike, I really enjoy reading your build thread. Your armor, pack, and T21 look amazing! I'm also going the sergeant route and was wondering if the T21 was just for fun since I didn't see it in any of the sergeant layouts that Panda has posted.

Guess they just got the new ones in. I got an email this morning and was able to put an order in.

If they are already white leather wouldn't weathering them be much easier than having to die black ones in addition?

I'm in NC and I just registered on the Carolina garrison's forums too. Not a lot of TD info over there unfortunately, but a lot of knowledgeable people who can help with the build.

Just went to TKBoots.com to order my boots as it was a recommended vendor on the FISD forums. I emailed them asking if they had size 9 in stock and they replied: Hopefully anyone else trying to get some can get on the back order list.

I just got put on ATA Works waiting list for my armor. 7 long weeks to wait! I'd love to have everything done before Christmas

Hello everyone! My name is Jason and I've been obsessed with stormtroopers since I first saw Star Wars when I was a kid. The look of the sandtrooper just looks so awesome and will alwyays be my favorite. A little about myself, I am 25 years old and live in North Carolina, stationed with the 82nd Airborne Division. I am an avid Apple and Honda enthusiast. What has driven me to take the leap into the 501st and the MEPD, is the devotion and charitable work done by such a large group of fans that ask for nothing in return. I've always wanted to do something larger in life that does good for the community. With that being said, I will not claim to know everything about Star Wars and I know nothing about making my own TD armor and "bucket". I hope to gain a wealth of knowledge here and since I am in the military, I know I have to pay my dues. Looking forward to the challenge!
