FIVE Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Welcome Jason! Looking good! I love the Dewback prod! Looks like you're in his "cage" too. Looks like you need to (should if you want) mod your ab plate so there are only 3 buttons on the left instead of 4... and your boots are clean... cause you didn't know that.

Smally Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Nice intro Jason - loving the pics. The weathering kind of reminds me of the Sideshow Sandtroopers Smally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gattaca Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Hi, I'm Colin (Gattaca), I live in Victoria BC, Canada. Just getting into the different forums to learn all I can to make sure I build my armor right. I have my TupperwareTK suit mostly built, just a few more touch-ups and adjustments.

Robbie Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hey guys and gals! I just wanted to let everyone know that I have been on the forums for about two months now and I should be getting my kit here in another day or so. I just wanted to thank all of you for helping me and pointing me in the right directions especially Noel. I have asked him so many questions and he kept on telling me to post my question on the forums and stuff. Well hope all of you have a grand day and thanks again for all the help.

Dr. Gonzo Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hi everyone. I recently joined the board and I am in the process of putting together my TD armor. I'm a member of the 501st, Bast Alpha Garrison, New Orleans, LA, TI 7298. I wanted to say hello to everyone. I have about a thousand questions The first big question I have is about armor size - I'm 6'1" 210 lbs, so I'm not sure which set to hunt down. Any advice on which set might be best for someone of my build? Thanks to all. Brett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIVE Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hey again Robbie! Great to have you posting on here. Hey, you can't blame him for asking me stuff... if I would stop being so nice and answering him all the time he'd be forced to get on here and participate. Welcome to you too Brett! I have some friends — not 501st — at Barksdale AFB. Check the links in my signature to answer your question about armor size. But, honestly, 6'1" and 210 you'll fit about anything... some better than others... and depends on how big round your legs and such are. You'll be good to go though... check the links.

iconoclasta_88 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hey guys, I'm Jason. My friend Jokerfish (Tim) and I have been working on my new Sandtrooper costume. I still have to weather the boots, but other than that I hope to be close to 501st approval. Looking forward to gettin' dirty. Let me know what y'all think. Hey Jason, welcome to the MEPD!! I have a question for you already... I am currently working in a SE TD bucket and I think your approach to weathering looks a lot like SE... can I ask you, how did you do it? What kind of paint and how did you applied it? Thx a lot! Oh, and your boots need to get dirty LOL!! Saludos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dav'ika Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Hello again.Name here is Dave, I joined back in middle of '08, but haven't been on at all since. Am awaiting legion approvel for my officers kit as I write. So hopefully soon I'll be 501st offical!!! Will now turn my sites to a TD!! Have started a Doopy's pipe build E-11. Have been reading and re-reading Panda's pack and T-21 builds. Will be getting stuff slowly to start building these. But the SLOW part will be saving for my Rt-mod kit. Was wondering if those are ok for deployment? Will probably have some stuff done by fall. But as it has effected most, times are tight now!! Work has slowed down and prices are going up. So I'll be here for a long while before I get my kit. I was inspired by Jester's TD at MidSouthCon,last weekend so this is what I'm shooting for!! See you on the threads!! P.S. I'm with the Mid South Garrison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viktor Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Hey guys, I'm Viktor and I've been around here a while but only just now got my 501'st application approved, so here is TD5592 reporting in for duty. If anyone of you happen to pass by the southern parts of Sweden you're always welcome to drop by for a glass of jawa juice. Going to fix up the remaining flaws in the armor for deployment soon. My plan is to go for the cantina captain-version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK9787 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Hello everyone Zach from the Dune Sea Garrison here. I have been a 501st approved TK for a little over a year now, and I guess I am getting lazy because I no longer ccare to spend each night before a troop polishing So I decided to go TD and have fortunately found this site. I am overwhelmed by the incredible amount of knowledge here. No other site even compares to the amount of information here! On top of that, the generosity and kindness from each member I have encountered here is nothing short of astounding. Hopefully I get all of my stuff done before too long. Thank you all in advance for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
