Zechs Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 New member, name's Brandon. I'm a part of the Carolina Garrison as well as Talon Clan (Mandos). I bought my kit off someone getting out of Star Wars costuming so I'm in the process of making adjustments to fit me. Quote

91397 Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 G’day everyone, I’m Matt and from Queensland Australia. I’m a member of the Redback Garrison with my TIE Fighter Pilot kit and recently picked up a Sandy from a member who was no longer trooping. As luck would have it, it mostly fits well, just the thighs are a bit big for me. So now I’m brain storming how to trim them down without wrecking them as it is a nice kit. I can’t wait to join the MEPD Quote
Hausi Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 Hi Matt and welcome to the MEPD. As long as the back coverstrips haven't been glued with superglue, it should be fairly easy, even with superglue, it shouldn't be that difficult. Since you are going to reduce the size, you can cut out the back coverstrips, adjust the size and glue on a new coverstrip. Keep us posted on your progress. Cheers mate Quote
91397 Posted February 6, 2023 Posted February 6, 2023 Thank you Hausi, I’ll definitely keep you all updated as I go. I’m a little hesitant to trim it as it’s a great bit of kit. However, if I don’t start it, I won’t get it approved 1 Quote

Ju Stonewall Posted April 28, 2023 Posted April 28, 2023 Hello everyone. My name is Julien fro FanWars Garrison in Belgium. I have been a 501 member since 2014. ID 69863 I own several suits, TK, SL, TI & MW. I very often think of one of my first loves, a Santrooper. For now I'm gathering the info so I can hopefully become a real Sandy. I've always loved this costume, because to me it really epitomizes the shock fighter of the Empire. Living in Belgium it is sometimes difficult to find the different items without paying a lot of import and customs taxes! So I take some time to reflect. My English is not very correct, sorry for the mistakes! Have a nice day Quote
Hausi Posted April 28, 2023 Posted April 28, 2023 Hi Julien, welcome to the sandpit, good to have you here. Don't worry about your English, it's great. Many of us here actually come from different countries, English not being our mother tongue. You will find heaps of valuable info in the different threads here, so take your time to browse the forums and have fun. The Sandtrooper also wasn't my first costume but I knew from the beginning that I wanted to be a Sandtrooper once. Cheers mate! 1 Quote
Loski Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 Hi all TD36901 still working out how to use this I’m looking for patches is the a trade part Quote
MrFlavaFlave Posted May 31, 2023 Posted May 31, 2023 Welcome to the precinct, rookies. See you all around the water cooler. Quote
Shenango Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 Hi, all. I'm Dave Stoner, currently a Rebel Legion Jedi, but for a long time have been wanting to join the (dirty!) dark side in the Tampa Bay Squad :) I bought a (very) used set of HWT armor that fits extremely well and am converting it to SD. After researching on the forums for some time, here are the conversions: Removed TK shoulder bridges & working on white strapping Removed large ab button plate Replaced 4-button ab plate with 3-button plate Replaced TK knee-plate with TD diamond Weathered shoulder pauldron and 3 ammo pouches [hopefully not much else is needed before making it dirty...] Once I get decent pics, I'll start a build thread here. However, I still have no helmet. Anyone know of a good source for a new (or used) stunt TK bucket that I can convert to SD? I wasn't sure if I should ask here or head over to FISD. I'm concerned that a brand new one would be too bright white compared to my way off-white armor. Thanks for allowing me here. I hope to be one of you by the end of summer! Quote
Kodakwolf Posted June 20, 2023 Posted June 20, 2023 Oh jeez. Hey there I'm TD 51193 I've been a sandy for a while now.. just never signed up on the forums. Lol hi there Quote

DarthBeale Posted June 26, 2023 Posted June 26, 2023 Morning all. SL-41106 here... Currently an ROTS Vader in the Ohio Garrison, Arch City Squad. Just got my first TK/TD kit, hoping for an approved Sand Trooper. It's a WTF kit, as you can see in the picture. Just nervous about trimming too far... lol. Quote
