CDR Thire

I know...Mrs. Thire says that when my hair turns silver I can get one of those new ones Sorry for the tagent...back on topic... Which armor did you use? Thanks again

Alex - had missed where you live...here are some pix of my baby - had to let her go a couple years ago. She was just shy of frame-off restoration...for those wondering, 1988

Inspired! Still waiting for my kit to arrive...it's in transit. The comment re "orange" is that because the weathering should include browns/grays/black? Also, are the hand plates permanently attached - if so how? Thanks & Congrats on the great rig

Requesting 501st access please... Geoff "CDR Thire" Slagle SL-4315 http://www.501st.com/members/displaymemberdetails.php?userID=7424 Many thanks!

They do look amazing!

Thanks Rob!

Both clones have gone on to new homes - Vader has remained If you do pursue a Shocktrooper build I can point out some pitfalls to avoid...thanks for the welcome. Thanks!

BTW - I was stranded in London in April 2010 due to the volcano in Iceland - I met up with Stephen Smith and Adam Dalton for a pint...was a much needed gesture of kindness in a frustrating time Cheers

Through the MEPD forum I came across Trooper Gear ("AM" I believe...) and am waiting on a kit through him - read/heard very good things re the sculpt. Planning on a backpackless Captain for starters with the Lewis gun and in time will add the pack so I can apply for MEPD status Have one of Jay's pauldrons en route, on the list with TK boots, and had the pleasure of trooping with a sci-fire DC15 blaster as a clone - working with them on a special T-21. Have a bunch to do though - my hope was to have this together by the end of June...we're also displaying a HIC desk and my ROTS Vader for the 501st room at C6 (still tuning those...). Thanks again for the welcome

Gracias!!

Well...that answers that question for me also...

Thank you Sir! Great to be here!

Greetings Brothers/Sisters My name is Geoff - 501st handle is "CDR Thire"...been a proud member of the Legion since Feb. 2007. My first build was an EIII shock trooper, followed by Neyo, then followed by a ROTS Vader. Live in Tampa, FL - looking forward to helping out with hosting C6 later this year. Making a long story short it's time for a new rig...I'm on my way to building a TD (so is a local squad mate of mine - Tmaxxfett). Super impressed with the MEPD site - it has been incredibly useful and we plan to "lean on the experts" as we move forward. Looking forward to joining the ranks sometime soon (underway...)
