ferra Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Hi guys! My name is Luis, I'm from Portugal! I'm already a 501st member, I had my Kashyyyk Trooper costume approved in the beginning of May. Now I'm setting my sights on a sandtrooper costume. I wanna do a grunt what would be the appropriate pauldron? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveMonkey Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Welcome Luis. If you want to do a grunt, you'll probably want to do the black pauldronSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr paul Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Hi. I am Paul from the UK and I have an RS TK ANH Stunt Armour . My colleague and I have just built a very accurate Rogue One TK Stormtrooper field pack. We are hoping (if its welcome) to publish the build thread in here and share all our findings with you in due course. It is a beautifully made prop that features in the upcoming film and deserves this focus and attention. Look forward to posting soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveMonkey Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Welcome Paul. I'm sure others would love to see how you put the pack together.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayveetoo Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself.... My name is Jesse Vitela from Houston, Texas. First saw Star Wars in '77 when I was 4. Halloween of that year, I wanted to be a stormtrooper and Christmas I wanted a lightsaber.. 36 years later, I finally bought my first lightsaber ( now I have 11 ) and a week ago today, I finally got my trooper costume. I bought it from a 501st member, so it's already up to code. Well, most of it. I need a blaster and boots and a few minor adjustments. I really hope to try to get into the 501st very, very soon.. For now, I'm just going to be a happy little nerd wearing my armor wherever I can ... My poor kid is screwed when the next parent teacher conference comes up...

TanRu Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Hey guys - I've been trooping a Gunner since July, and am nearly done with my TIE pilot (just need to finish helmet), so I'm looking toward my next costume. A guy in my garrison had an Anovos TK kit he never touched and I got it at a very reasonable price. Now I'm leaning toward making it into a TD. I'm trying not to start do anything to the kit until I'm 100% on my TI and can really focus. I've read through a couple of the Anovos threads and I'm putting together a list of parts I'll need to do the conversion. I'm guessing I'll do a backpack-less configuration to start with and see how it goes. No strong feelings about pauldron color or weapon/pouch setup at the moment.

ShaneH82 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Shane here have the TK Anovos on pre-order and will be a HWT once complete but seriously considering a second set of armor for Sandy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveMonkey Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Welcome Shane, just go all the way and join us in the sandbox.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Would love to steer new guys from forgoing HWT all together and going straight sandtrooper off the bat. We have the big guns and play in the dirt!

Bellatrixxt Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Hello guys my Name is Maxi TK 22581from Germany. I'm planning right now how to do a Sandtrooper. I'm very small 4" 11 (1,52 m) so i need to think about how to get all parts a little bit smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Well if you're already a TK then you've already done most of the hard part. Careful trimming will definitely be required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchy Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Welcome Maxi! Maybe you could contact Pino Eichhorn, TD-5074. He is a bit shorter too( no offense bro') and could help you out with getting it all fit to your measurements. Good luck and hope to see you in the Cantina soon!

I think I need a smaller Pauldron and backpack. 14 hours ago, LoveMonkey said: Welcome Maxi thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 In that case, you will want one of the kids sized pauldrons and build your backpack based on the park seed trays which is a lot smaller. Hit up Crashmann here and I guarantee you he can help you with your pack needs. Let me find a source for the pauldron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
