BroadSword Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Greetings, Hello all. Name is Marcus and I wanted to say hi. I'm actually a former member of the Garrison from about 10-12 years ago. I'm looking to get back into things whenever I can. I had previously put together a set of armor and then a custom mandelorian costume, but raising a family and being in the Marine Corps took me down a different path in life and I had to hang it up. I went to WonderCon and SDCC this year and it was my first time out to events in years. I was recently given a FX kit and I know it's not the best armor out there, but when since it was basically free, I think I can make it work. On the look out for a new bucket though. I'm in North San Diego county (Fallbrook) CA and hope to collaborate with other TDs around me as I get back in the saddle and make my armor.

TazVader Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 G'day, My name is Christian. I live in Tasmania, Australia. Long time 501st fan. I have a completed Rotj Vader but have never bothered getting it approved due to work and life and lazy and zzzzzz. Lol so I've also had a set of AP armour sitting in a box for about 7 years. It is finally coming out with the help of the local guys. So I'm aiming to have a Sandy as my first approvable Really enjoying the close knit group here and the 'can do' attitude. Let's hope I catch it lol Kind regards Christian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Feeley Good Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Hi everyone, My name is Steve,I am from Manchester in England,I have been a big Star Wars fan since I was a little kid when I went to see the first film at the pictures, I am already a member of the 501st with the UK Garrison,I troop as a Snowtrooper ( TS15369 ) ..I decided to get a new costume,and when a fellow member of the UKG was selling his RS Sandtrooper I knew I had to get it,even though it was a twelve hour round trip,it was more than worth it !!! I have tried it on for the first time today,and I will put some pictures up on a separate thread,so if you can give me some pointers before I try to get it cleared it would be most appreciated.....Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDutchGuy Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Names Wiechert, 100% Dutch and proud of being a seafarer! Im embarrassed to say it, but I not planning on building a TD, but rather a TK HWT... But seeing as you guys are the most experienced in pauldrons, packs and pouches ill drag myself trough the dirt to face you all with my questions. I just dont think the dirt should be on there... but that might be due to my work as officer in the merchant marine... Anyways, im hoping to learn heaps from you in my pursuit of 501st membership!

kayelbe Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Hi all. I just realized I have been lurking a lot and posting some but haven't properly introduced myself. My name is Kevin and I live in Arizona, USA. I'm new to the 501st and working on a TD. Unfortunately I bought some armor locally that appears to be recast (TE2?) But I've got my name on the ATA list so I'll get some practice. I'm just about done with my build, just working on the belts and need to finisb up the weathering. Hopefully I can get my legion ID here soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsmith6322 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Hello, my name is Robert. I live in Garland, Texas. No armor yet, but I'm strongly drawn to the TD. As a former police officer it's just who I'd prefer to portray in the SW universe. Just trying to research and get some ideas here. Thanks.
