jediyves Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Greetings troopers, I've been on the forum for a while, but I haven't had a chance to introduce myself. My name is Yves, from North Vancouver, BC ( also known as Caprica City ). I got approved as 501st in late October 2010. I'm a videographer and film editor. My appreciation for the original trilogy movies and armor building has always been big, and after I came back from Celebration V in Orlando this summer, it has gone even bigger. Looking forward to talk to ya'll or meet in person. Regards, Yves TD 9815 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIVE Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Welcome to the sand pit Yves! I've done a lot of video editing in my day as well. Started with "old" VHS reel-to-reel decks back in the mid-80s. And can now use Final Cut and the like very easily... though I don't have much occasion for it anymore. Great to have you "officially on the forum!" And congrats on your 501st approval! Next stop, MEPD deployment... right?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchy Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Welcome Yves to the sandbox.. @ Wick, I know the trooper you are standing next to, but he's a TK and not a TD..I know but he has gotten a pauldron, but that doesn't make you a TD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FZ1 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 My name is Scott (FZ1). I just signed up a few days ago and have really been enjoying all the threads and tutorials. I also signed up at the FISD and the 501st Midsouth Garrison (I'm from Kentucky). This site is amazing! Really leaning toward constructing a Sandtrooper now after seeing all the incrediable work here. Thanks in advance for answering any newbie questions I'm sure to have. Cheers!

DirtyBoy Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Welcome Scott!!! glad youve made the choice to join us!!! very exciting....let us know where we can help brother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FZ1 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Thanks Rick! Again, I signed-up at the 501st MidSouth Garrison and have a line on some armor there. But, since I think Sandtroopers are the best the Empire has to offer , I'll be hanging out here often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should actually thank Terry, or Pandatrooper, who's now MEPD deployed. He helped me a lot with my armor. " Troops" the mockumentary, is one of the reasons I became 501st. So Yeah, I want to start shooting fan films soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sith'ari Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Greetings Gents, You have probably seen me parusing your boards for the past few months. My name is Bryan and I am working on a TX as my first costume. I started hanging around your forums as the Elite Novatrooper that I am working on uses a lot of TD accoutrements. MEPD has been a great resource and I thoroughly enjoy the community. Down the road when my finances have recovered from my first venture into costuming , I plan to build a TD and go for Deployed status. But until then, you have a friend in Spec Ops. Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Welcome bro! I also skinned your Spec Ops boards (just FYI), though I'm never really on there. Glad to hear you're gonna go from black to dirty! I will probably do a TD in the future as well. Sure I have one already... but if Rolf is any indication once a TD continually over and over again a TD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opfor Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Hi Guys, I've been on here a few weeks and need to introduce myself. My name is Mike Greene from Tennessee. I'm currently working on my armor as we speak for application into the 501st. Before I even started I knew I wanted to be a sandy and the guys on the Midsouth Forums said to start here, boy were they right. You guys have a wealth of knowledge and everyone has been great to share for someone this green. Wanted to give a big thanks to Slave5 for running that holiday special, I was the private sale on his DLT-19 and I'm extremely excited to have been able to acquire one of those, I hear hyperfirms are the best. My goal is to become a member of the 501st by the end of the year, might not be achievable but I'm gonna try. Next I want to try and make Deployment, if I can make that I know that my stuff will be exactly where it needs to be cause you guys know what it takes! "I'll see you on the beach" (Capt. Miller SPR) Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamJ Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Hi guys, I'm Sam and I cleared a few weeks ago with my TI. I'm currently in the middle of a Maul build but would like to do a full armour costume soon so thought I'd drop by and do some research. Thanks for having me.

And if you allow us to, we will convince you of going sandy in no time! Enjoy. Saludos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramjet Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Hi. I just happened to find this site by chance while in the final stages of researching the Sonix radio. I'm Dave Buckley, a member of the R2Builders Group. I live on Australia on the North Coast of NSW. My interests to now have been in researching, documenting and building replica props including R2. I have added the files I've been working on to the Sonix blueprints thread. Cheers Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
