HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
-
WOO! Having chatted you to death leading up to this, it's great to see the results! Your TK looks astonishing! I'm glad to hear the fan kit worked out too!
Thanks for the photos and best wishes on all your future troops!
There is some sappy "Pearl Harbor" sound track going as I opened this thread and it almost brought a tear to my eye!!! I am so sappy

I used to say "you don't want to know" when brown boxes showed up, now I show her everything until she's sick of hearing about it.
Yes, this policy works best for me. Every package is "how much did you spend now?" instead of "wow, what really cool awesome thing did you get?" Hey, it's my money not his!
AP is pretty easy to get your EIB if you start out in that direction. Centurion too, if you don't rivet the sniper plate like I STUPIDLY DID.

We only do Dark Force stout here. I think. Well, at my cantina anyway.
Welcome to FISD! Start at the beginning: The Getting Started Threads. There's one in there with all the armor makers and their contact info. Contact the ones you're interested in, and voila! I'd link it for you but my browser has been wonky lately!
-
Wow, you are certainly on your way! Welcome!
-
I would walk with my Stanley the 375 miles from Los Angeles to San Francisco for this.
Question for TOM: should I reach out to my garrison (SCG) for this? Forward to my fearless leaders? Or is someone doing that already?
Cuz you know not everyone checks FISD enough for this exciting opportunity to THRILL everyone!
-
I vote FX. Your build thread, in addition to being infused with the humor and entertainment value you bring innately, will be an excellent tutorial for those wanting to upgrade or enhance their own. Of course, if someone can achieve Centurion with Rubies, I suppose that is also an excellent addition to the tuts.
Okay I changed my mind. DO BOTH!
-
Welcome, Sid! Tell us a little about yourself? How did you find your way here? Do you know what kind of TK you want to be?
-
Hi, Wayne! Welcome to FISD! Have you spent some time looking around yet? Especially the Getting Started threads? Immerse yourself in the dark (white) side and then when your mind is completely blown, you'll know what questions are left to ask
Did you already purchase armor? If so, what kind?
-
That's really cool. I love seeing all the guys with helmets off, too.
-
Welcome, Adrian! EIB is an excellent goal! We have two or three new TX members starting builds recently, I know it's a big state but if's always good to have a build buddy if you can!
-
THANK YOU! YOU GUYS ARE SWEET!!!
Happy Birthday, Nathan! Best day to have a birthday!
-
$0.02 = WHITE - it's iconic and canon and potentially more gigs!!! Start with that. Then build yourself a shadowtrooper if you really want that "stand-out-blend-in" stealth thing. (TKs are not built for stealth, so noisy!!!)
That said, shadow is so cool and just unusual enough to get a little extra attention. I might build my husband one. Except he's tall and will definitely look like vader.
You are not going to miss out on any camaraderie based on black or white armor as long as you're not planning on hanging out solely with rebels. (jk!)
-
Welcome to FISD! Have you been lurking all this time, or someone helping you, or you're just doing it on your own?
Can't wait to see pics! -
Thankfully it is mostly painted. Pretty sure resin mic tips- think resin would hold onto it too?
Probably some but they're on the outside and pretty small so take 'em out and try one of the many methods above.... barring that you can replace mic tips pretty inexpensively and there's an ongoing sale in the FS threads.
-
Welcome back, Luis!
-
Welcome, James! This should not be too alien to you, as we are required to be human as per the Emperor.
The guys have got you off on the right foot, so post lots of pics and ask lots of questions.

Trooperbay has rubber trim - you can replace and upgrade to S at the same time!
(Unless you already have S lol)Definitely going to need to replace the foam. Nothing soaks up odor like foam. Have you smelled a hockey helmet lately? (Caution: don't) Okay maybe neoprene is worse.
If it's paint not decal, you could probably wash it with dish detergent or other MILD soap and water, inside and out (mostly inside). If it's decal, I don't know if that would work - you could wash the inside but keep the outside dry. Obviously remove electronics first.
Other than that, if the plastic needs more work, you got me. I would imagine really washing it off is the only way. Smoke sticks. That's why there are companies that specialize in smoke removal after fires, or why your hair smells like a campfire for days after.

You're on the list, see you Sunday!
-
Welcome, Jeff! Yeah, definitely plenty of Bloodfins around these parts... you're in good hands!
-
Welcome, John!
-
hahaha yeah may be slightly embarressed about it though.
We are all embarassed. Our day will come.
-
Welcome, Jon! Tell us a little about yourself... then you get the dark side cookie!
-
Wow, that's excitement we can all share!!!
As for the ear pieces, well, if they're "closer to good" in the front, and a little less perfect in the back, that's okay. I've seen plenty that aren't 100% flush. Mine are about 95% in front and wonky in the back.

Welcome, Matt!
I've seen guys build in a few days, but some people take months (half hour here, piece there)... but definitely enjoy the process!
