SolderMaster

Great stuff, guys! Yeah waiting for armor makes you think of dumb stuff like that. But, if I didn't ask, I'd be ready for a troop but I'd have to pack all my gear in the trunk of the car! Yikes! I just received my holster from Anrev and my amp and wireless mic today! Armor should be here in mid March.

That's what I did as well! They replied right away explaining that their site is not up to date. I should have mine tomorrow!

Ok Troopers, I have been reading the you know whats out of this site. I have yet to find anyone describe the type of bag, tote, luggage, etc that one would use to take their armor and other trooping needs to an event. Please post how you take all of your stuff to and from trooping events. This future trooper would greatly appreciate it!

Looking good, Tyler!

I will be going with RT. I have ordered my holster from Anrev and my boots from TkBoots. In a few days I will be ordering armor from Rob, Hyperfirm from Lewis, ROM/FX from John, bits and pieces from here and there. TK build thread from soldermaster coming soon! How exciting!

Thanks Brian!

OK I am torn on which armor to get. AP or RT-MOD. I think I may fit into AP but to be sure, here's a couple pics... I have a little belly, but nothing else seems to be too big...IMHO....ok that didn't sound right...lmao

Hey Alaskan, I will be building soon, and have a quick question... How much noise do you make when you walk around? I'm asking cuz it looks like your thighs and shins are real close together. It looks like it would be cumbersome to walk. Just curious.

Awesome thread for guys like me...NEW! I really appreciate everyones' opinions. I will try to find a Hyperfirms E-11! Some really cool guy told me to shop ONCE not twice. Thanks for the great advice SL/CC/TK585!!!!

Awesome, Catbread! That's exactly the kind of help I was looking for! Thanks a bunch. Any other thoughts? From other TKs, I mean? I was just watching Dave's Garage...great stuff. Looks like if I order my armor this week, I should receive it in March. I should be able to recite Dave's Garage verbatim by then...lol Thanks Dave! Starting to make my shopping list...E6000, White industrial velcro, small wooden dowels..etc Man I can't wait! Once I receive my armor, I'll post pics and progress on the appropriate thread. Man, this is gonna be FUN!

Little update... I have decided to go RT-MOD. It should be more comfortable on my frame. I have read for hours on this site and on the MWG forum... I would like some opinions on aquiring an E-11 for trooping. Should I buy a Hasbro and resin kit, find a MR blaster, or other option...PVC build? I have read that resin kits tend to be brittle or delicate. Haven't seen or read if the Master Replica E-11 is trooping approved. I have emailed Sci-Fire.com asking if they still provide theirs as I have read that they are really nice. I didn't see a register option on their site so I just did a "contact us". Looking forward to seeing your thoughts! Thanks TKs!

Thanks Catbread! I just emailed tupperwaretk and already got a responce from him! Like a kid in a candy store!

Hi there Troopers! I am in the market for some new armor. I would like a kit to build, not a set already assembled. I am 5'10" and 215lbs. I read that the AP might not fit right according to www.tk1336.com I'm a little too heavy for this armor...maybe? Besides FX, What other "brands" are available in kit form? I am not in the 501st, yet, but I really can't wait to start. I have been in contact with Trent, leader of the WI Squad, Midwest Garrison. He told me to come here for advice and suggestions. Looking forward from hearing from all you white Knights!
