  1. Awesome progression, squid!

     

    I am former Navy myself. Only, I got stuck on shore duty and didn't get to experience a ship. Sucks, but that's life.

     

    Your "Mini-Me" Vader is sweet! How cool to troop as father and son. I'm assuming that was your little guy.?

     

    Ok, were you trooping in the grocery store or just in there for kicks? The faces on the customers were priceless!! "Hey Lord Vader, does this look ripe to you?"

     

    Great stuff!

    Welcome to the FISD. :)

     

    Check out RT Mod's website

     

     

    Hi Devin and welcome!

     

    I too will be building an RT-MOD soon. I have ordered mine already and it should be here in a month or so. Rob is a great guy to deal with. Very helpful.

     

    He is a pilot, I believe, so you may not get a reply right away. He spends a few days here and there so just hang in there and he will get back to you. I'm looking forward to our "side-by-side" RT-MOD build threads!! Maybe we can help each other out when we start getting our hands dirty!

     

    Again, welcome to the FISD! Lots of great people here ready and willing to help!

  3. 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!

  4. Thanks guys!

     

    Here is a quick little update.

     

    I have ordered:

     

    Armor with completed helmet from Rob

     

    Accurate hand plates from Karin, anyone know if they are EIB? I liked the look and the fact the paint won't flake off...

     

    Neck Seal from TK409

     

    Undersuit from 123scuba

     

    Boots from TKboots

     

    Holster from Anrev

     

    Voice amp with wireless mic from TK6294

     

    Hyperfirm E-11, I may take a crack at getting it "Stomperized"

     

    I'm still waiting to hear back from John for a ROM/FX Pro. I am on the Feb list so that should be soon.

     

    On my Wally World list is E6000, white industrial Velcro, blue painters tape, Elastic, 0000 steel wool, and some clamps.

     

    Even though my bank account is crying, once I see that first smile from a child at my first troop, it will make the $1600 feel like $16.

     

    Look for the "SolderMaster's RT Build" soon!!!

  5. 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!

  6. Thanks Catbread!

     

    I just emailed tupperwaretk and already got a responce from him!

     

    Like a kid in a candy store!

     

     

    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!

  7. 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! :D

  8. Hello again, Troopers!

     

    I used to be registered under Darth Modder but due to a email hack, I was forced to create a new email address...

     

    Earlier this year, I was looking forward to purchasing a kit. With the economy and family issues, I wasn't able to make that happen.

     

    In February, 2010, I will be back in the market for a TK suit/kit. I have contacted my garrison and let my intensions be known. I can't wait to get started and meet some of you fine people!
