supa troop Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Had the first outing at a proper Con today with my Little Boy in his TD Suit i was very proud of him as he kept his Armour on a Good 3 hours obviously having plenty of water breaks, The Back Pack got a little heavey for him so i had to help him with that. he had a great time and he really enjoyed his time.The was one small issue with a UK 501st member who tried to spoil the fun, which realy incensed me but anyway on with the pics i hope you enjoy.

Smally Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Hey Simon, I was really impressed with this kit and the back pack was awesome! If I'd known it was you who was with this mini TD I would have introduced myself properly instead of hanging in the background! Sent you a PM Smally.

Quartermaster Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Awesome pics Simon! Sorry to hear about the trouble your had (read about it on the FISD). Sometimes we all need reminding that this is for fun. Some guys just take it WAY too seriously. Looks like he had a great time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abaddon_1974 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 WOW! What a lucky kid, he must be the envy of his mates. Any chance of some picks of the full set up, back pack and all. This is nearly enough to make me want kids of my own, nearly but not quite. Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope she likes the TDs like me!! She is one month old though, so... patience!!! LOL... Saludos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes we all need reminding that this is for fun. Some guys just take it WAY too seriously. Looks like he had a great time! simon,apparrently i am the guy who "ripped his sons kit to pieces" ,i will explain what happened guys.......while i was crewing for smally and dave mars, i was told by a crew member that simon wanted weathering advice on his sons mini td,so i approached him,introduced myself politely ,commented on,and complimented on his boys armour and said the armour and pack were cool,and suggested removing decals and painting before weathering thats all,then i got told "its only a kiddies costume" twice . so i left it at that and returned to my squad!!! i was asked to help someone,but obviously my help wasn't actually required! as i am one of 2 of the ukg's sandtrooper armourers, i dont make habits to "rip peoples kit to pieces " guys,thats not my style as many,many of my ukg/mepd/fisd friends know!!!! a misunderstanding on both parts???? ....maybe! ,but, i think i should not be slammed for trying to help out somebody!

iconoclasta_88 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Have read a bit about this misunderstanding over the FISD, facebook and here. I can only come to the conclusion it was a misunderstanding. Hopefully, no hard feelings will be kept and all goes smooth and cool as always from now on. Dave, thx for replying here. And I actually think it is cool to see all what has been written here. I know when two parts "in conflict" are willing to make things better, it is already better! Dave, Simon and son... hope the best comes out for you from this little misunderstanding. And, Simon, you can tell your boy all the TDs at the MEPD think his armor is AMAZING!! And we mean it.

Hi Dave a total misunderstanding of the highest order especially as i didnt ask any one for advice on anything, why would i lets be totally honest. i spent all day Saturday trying to find fullers earth to weather the armour in time for Sunday but failed the misunderstanding i believe was down to one of your female spotters she clearly thought seeing that my Sons kit was un-weathered that it should be, in order for him to be a Sandtrooper. Why did she feel the need ?? we didnt ask !!! i dont particularly want to get into a public debate over a childs costume i did say above i would pm you, at no point have i said that you "ripped my sons kit to pieces", you are clearly very knowledgeable about sandtroopers but even the wife said a little more tact was perhaps needed, i know how this works how some people live and breath this stuff, but im afraid a boy of 9 doesnt understand the need for greay decals, a diamond knee plate and the correct ab plate, he just wanted to play at being a Sandtrooper, and once we had settled him down he had a great time.

Quartermaster Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Way to go guys. Glad to see it all worked out. BTW, if I had known that my pack would have caused such a stir over there in the UK, I would have made sure it was 100% spot on screen accurate! Rest assured, the next time someone orders one for their son or daughter, it will be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
