DestructoLad Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Hey Everyone, Newbie here trying to get my gear together. I ordered a set of pouches from http://www.sandtrooper.org but I haven't got any response from them? Has anyone delt with these people before? Should I worry? Are they reputable? Thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakengine Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 This is the first I've heard of them. Most of their internal links don't lead to anything. Hmmm. Maybe they're just getting started. All in all, they seem fairly pricey to me. Internic whois lists the domain as belonging to a Bill Connelly in Edmonton Alberta Canada. He's listed as 501st on the 501st site if that helps any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DestructoLad Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 Thanks Tom, giving me the name and that the owner being in the 501st puts me a little more at ease. I'll keep everyone on the boards informed as to how the transaction goes. TD252 - "Mange tak" - I appreciate the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SethB6025 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Looks like it might be old or not looked after, a couple links re-direct to a hosting company. Using a .org site as a store-front seems kind of tacky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DestructoLad Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 UPDATE - I just got an email from Bill at Sandtroopers.org and he let me know he was out of town and just got back. He's dying the pouches and they should ship on Tuesday. So it looks like everything is fine in regards to Sandtroopers.org. Thanks Everyone, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimelius Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I got a set of pouches from Bill through Ebay... Yes they'll come dyed - but not sealed. To stop the dye running you'll need to get some leather sealer. I used a local brand called waproo - I'm sure there are others. It brushes on milky white dries clear in about 3 hrs at room temp depending on the # of coats - 2 is usually ok. Result is a little glossy, but easily weathered.

KarmaTiger Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I've bought some stuff off this guy, and he's fairly reliable: iewItem">http://cgi.ebay.ca/WWII-German-Black-Le ... dZViewItem Looks like it might be old or not looked after, a couple links re-direct to a hosting company. Using a .org site as a store-front seems kind of tacky. with cybersquatters sitting on the few .com names not already taken, many webmasters turn to .net and .org suffixes as alternatives. Remember, many non-commercial websites use .com when they should rightfully use something else, and vice versa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
