TD6256 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Hi everyone, My name is Sean and I have been building star wars costumes for about six years now. I have worked on a TK, TD, republic commando and now a biker scout. I used to be a member of this board years ago when I still had my sandtrooper armor. My 501st ID is TD-6256. I had to sell my sandtrooper when I got married to help pay for the wedding. I rejoined the forum here hoping to get back into the star wars costuming loop and hopefully work on another TD once I finish my biker scout. It feels good to be back on the forums again.

combatcameraguy Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Hello all! I'm Elliot (combatcameraguy) and I'm a US Soldier stationed in Germany. I'm diving into trooping as a TD. (If you're gonna do it, do it right) right? I'll give updates with my experience, and of course I'll include pics! So far, it's been a LOT of reading, but if I can help out some charities, it's worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darky Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Hi everyone, I'm Greg TI 6104, from the French Garrison. I have the project to get a second suit and I will be very interested to join the dirty side of the Empire, so I think I will land my TIE on Mos Eisley to take a look of what is done here. I have to collect a lot of informations before starting this project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubmo Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Hello All, My name's Jody, 501st ID# 4327, and I currently have approved IN, DZ, ID, and BH costumes. But my heart belongs to the sandtroopers. Ever since I saw Star Wars as a little guy, I wanted armor like Praji and the rest. I currently have an FX kit I'm putting together, a hyperfirm DLT-19, paldron, and I'm modding a fiberglass bucket to use. Anyway, I'm looking forward to learning from and trooping with ya'll.

crypto Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 G'day all, crypto CT/TK2620 here. I'm a trooper with the Redback Garrison in Australia. Currently have a TK and a clone shocktrooper and I am working on putting a bounty hunter together. Seriously thinking of making the shiny white.....DIRTY . After doing my clone I love the whole "weathering" process. Hopefully one day I can ask to be "Deployed". Cheers, Martin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIVE Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Welcome Hubmo, welcome Martin!! Martin, I think I just posted a comment on the FISD about your armor linking you to the packs and stuff here... (maybe not). Glad to have you both! Going dirty is THE BEST thing I ever done!!
