Gladius Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Hi there, newly registered here recently. So maybe a short introducing and the why's. Soon 42 years old. Living in the germanspeaking part of my country though it is dialect. Found out about 501st Legion and Garrison existing over a year ago so I'm well a rookie. Got approval for my first costume last year after a long terming project - for special reasons - with a black line officer wich cane pretty good, getting more and more not only CRL accurate. Now after some months of studdies , asking, writing - wich might not stop - I finally could bring the project to run, after placing my first ever order for an armor after questioning and get clear about most uncertainties despite having pals to help and advice. Well soon I found out its not the easiest to do. But I hope I'm on a good line. I hope i'll make it here to a deployment. So this in a short Good time furthermore all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthgrace Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Welcome. This is the start of my second year in the Legion and I am 39 (on Friday). Have fun and feel free to ask questions. This is a great group of friendly and helpful folks. And great choice on your armor. Being a Sandy is lots of fun. Way better than being a TK.

Gladius Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Sooo great : - ) Dirt sounds fine! As a young always came home from sandbox full with mud. Some first pieces of all the parts have already arrived. And I almost can't wait until I hold my first own armor in my hands and then give it a personal touch with the weathering. Dunno when. Count with 4 to 5 months until basic's finished, what would make it to CE II, where I guess that some of You might be there too. But step by step. If not , it's no drama, my first dress took way longer. Sandies are cool! yey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladius Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 hey michael, look forward to meeting you at ce II bro! can i ask what make of armour youve gone for? Yeah me too! I have already a booked room and the 3days pass ticket. I've seen on legion-board that many UK guys are coming and from many other countries. I hope I'll make it with the - maybe basic only yet - TD for CE II. But as it's my first armor it is hard to predict how far and what I can get. I went for TM by recommendation of a Sandy-m8. Been lucky to get into run. For luck I started research already about 3 months ago so I didn't fail in the dealing by mail as its for me quite new ground. Think I'll try to make Cantina Captain in the end but it seems difficult with the DLT's as a european. @Rico: heard a lot about crazy big belgium props recently Don't know if You know our guys and ladies. Maybe I'll go on one of the EFF. Don't know definately yet. Seen a lot good pics of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a bit afraid of technobabble dealing but I worked on it hard, made an extra file that I keep updated with crl-parts for min. requirements and other things and what's the main thought Even a costtracking to keep an oveview. I will PM You. Thanks brothers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
