Hello all! I have decided to turn my RS ESB TK into a TD. As I got a TM suit I have serving triple duty as ANH hero, stunt and ESB (all EIB Whee!) and a CFO that is a ROTJ Centurion, The RS seemed the best fit for my TD especially considering the RS suit torso WAS a TD, and they were nice enough to supply TD parts with the kit. So here is the suit as it stood as an ESB TK: and here it is with the TK parts removed and TD parts added prior to weathering: The Pouches came from TD-8256 and they are very well made I can attest. The Back pack came from Bluey, and has one of Gordon's siphons and Mike Harrisons radios, also its weathered already though I may tweak it a bit, I know I will need to add the wire around the radio at the very least: I know what you are thinking! That's an ESB lid on that TD, and you are right. As I plan on immitating a very specific TD, the whole lid is going to have to be disassembled and redone to match the right on screen look, and as I have not 100% decided on just which TD I will emulate (either Move Along, or Cantina Captain) I have not pulled off the ESB details yet and repainted it. Anyway I was just excited to get my staged on the Star Destroyer, Prior to being Deployed and getting dirty siut up done to see what I could tweak prior to weathering. Thanks for looking!

TK11038 requesting 501st access http://www.501st.com/members/searchresults.php

Hello all, I am starting to put together my sandtrooper build, I suspect it will be next year before I finalize things as this is a busy time for me. I am leaning towards the Cantina Captain as my SWAT representative, so the build will take longer than just gettin dirty! I started with a suit of FX waaaaay back when Galaxy trading was around. I always wanted to join the 501st but never found the time. After pulling the FX out and comparing it to fantastic kits like TM and RS I realized I needed to step it up. I got an untrimmed RS kit and joined FISD and they were a huge help in my build. I know many of you are members there as well and Rolf's RS sandtrooper really got me thinking about a sandy. I am currently finishing a CFO build, and have a TM on the way. My goal is to have a TK from each film as you can see from my sig. I am not sure if I am going to convert the TM to be my ANH Hero/Stunt/ESB and then Sandy the RS or the other way round. So for now I am simply accessorizing! I bought Bluey's amazing TD pack, and am now looking into pouches and pauldrons. I have lurked on this forum for a few months but as I am starting to kick it off I wanted to say Howdy. Edit: My TK number is 11038, but it seems the MEPD will not allow 5 digit 501st numbers

Thanks guys!

Has the Orange Pauldron Cantina captain been linked to another armor that is shown more? I am thinking of basing my future TD build on him, but I can only see a small portion of his armor in the screen caps. the Way I see it if you are going to build a TD you should build for SWAT from the outset. I like the distribution of pouches/move along pack, and the DLT 19 of the Cantina version. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!
