[Star Wars Celebration VI]

I will be there with my armor. I hope to get approved ASAP.

[Hello from Sarasota Florida]

Welcome!

[March 2012 Newsletter]

Nice! Thanks for putting it together.

 

 

RIP Ralph & Gary

[New Recruit in Seattle]

Welcome!

[Hello from 2 future Dallas, Texas troopers!]

Welcome to you both! The couple that troops together, stays together.

[Looking for comments, pointers, etc... Here's me as of last night.]

Looks good Steve. A neckseal will "seal" it all together.

[SW:TOR]

Hell yeah! I am stoked to get my Bounty Hunter in the Great Hunt!

 

(My first alt will be a trooper) :atatpilot:

[Stockholm SciFi Fair 2011 - Trooping with the Nordic Garrison]

Looks like a lot of fun!

[So, can you guys not sit down in your armor either?]

I never sit down! I don't want to be force choked if the boss stops by.

[Question about under armor, ... Where to buy?]

I bought my UA tops and bottoms from Underarmour.com.

[US Army Reserve Hawaii Predeployment Trooping]

Awesome work! I love seeing our men and women in imperial uniform assisting those who soldier for a living. Thanks for the pictures.

[My First build FX]

Putting together a kit is always a challenge. You're basically tailor fitting plastic to your body--no easy task. That said, you will likely want to narrow your thigh pieces' openings at the knees. Also, I recommend getting an AP helmet to go with your FX armor. I have AM armor (FX legacy) and my AP bucket is perfect. Good luck!

[What to use to clean your armor after each troop]

What TK 4702 said, but I also use an all purpose cleaner on the inside of armor parts that are prone to collect sweat. I also always wash my under suit. Once you have stood next to a trooper who doesn't, you'll understand why.

[Hello from Nebraska]

Welcome Paul!

[Guess What? More Hasbro.]

The Doopydoos kit is amazingly easy to adhere to the Hasbro blaster. And even though the Hasbro retrofit is shorter than the original Sterling, it still looks great.

[How long to finalize an armor?]

I got my kit in late May and I am still working on it at a "hobbyist's" pace. I actually spend more time waiting on parts in the mail than working on the kit.

Welcome Wally!

[New user from ATL]

Welcome Jimmy! I'm sure your kids will be thrilled to see dad decked in white armor. The charitable spirit of the 501st is one of the main reason why I am spending hours working on my armor kit--to say nothing of the hundreds of dollars. I look forward to spreading a little imperial TLC when I finally get finished.

[200,000 on the post ODO]

Awesome! I'm one of the new guys here, but I must have read 10,000 posts while putting together my kit. This community extremely helpful and friendly, and I think embodies the best of Star Wars fandom. Here's to another 200k!

[Greetings from Louisville]

Glad to see another Kentuckian joining the Empire!

[Hello from WISCONSIN!]

Hello Wisconsin!

[anh helmet]

Looking good!

[DoopyDoo for Dummies (lots of pics)]

Looks nice! I didn't take the time to drill the additional holes and scope rail but my conversion is good for trooping at kid events. I have a full Doopydoo resin kit for the serious troop'ns.

[Any problems with Doopydoo's?]

I purchased the Hasbro kit and full resin kit from their website. I received the package about 2 weeks after purchase, no problems. They are quality casts, too. The Hasbro kit was especially easy to install--great for trooping at kid events because of the sound FX.

[Hello from Canada!]

SWG Vet here as well. I used to craft Stormtrooper gear on my armorsmith and terrorize jedis on my bounty hunter sporting energy plated scout trooper gear. Good times...
