Jeff, your kit looked great last night! Just a few things to tweak and you'll be ready to go. Welcome to the Legion In White my brother!!!

DO...NOT...BUY...FROM...EB*Y!!!!

I HATED my setup with the belt/suspender combo until I too got Ty's product. Highly recommended!!!

Anyone else?

The battery is listed as the TL-2450 and should be available at stores like Batteries Plus. Mine finally died but I ended up ordering it from Jim. Everything I've gotten from him shipped the same day...awesome dude!

Hey Troopers! I'm looking to put together a better info packet for my new TK recruits here in the Tampa Bay Squad and I need your help. Every one of us has a build thread that they liked, followed or read as the bible! Please take a moment and post your favorites (even if they're your own) so I can share them with newbies who like we were at one time, intimidated by what comes in that big brown box!!! Hoping for EIB or Centurion threads of course (being an FISD Attache) but I'm really looking for very detailed and guiding threads with great photos and info. Thanks!

I have an ATA kit that I've trooped in 80 times so far and I love it! I've seen other kits but love mine. I was super intimidated building it at first but have since helped many of my fellow squadmates with their builds. There's a sense of pride when you complete your kit and you should contact your local squad (if you haven't done so already) and inquire about and upcoming armor parties. The only real downside to the ATA kit is the wait time as I ended up waiting about 10 months for mine to finally arrive.

I just found this and had to share! It's a video of Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal talking about what he calls his worst show ever, Guns N' Roses at 2011 Rock in Rio. I've skipped the first half and started it at the funny part. -WARNING- Very NSFW language several times but great story none the less...ENJOY!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=j5InL-S8mmE#t=130

------------ What a great video...and a very well dressed crowd!!!

Hello Jason and great to hear you're on your way! Make sure you do lots of research and look for some AM 2.0 build threads that look doable or make sense to you. Lots out there to follow. I also recommend you get with other TKs in your squad to assist you to make your Halloween deadline. Otherwise I'm not sure you'll have enough time and knowledge to complete it. You can get a belt from TKittell and the clips you can make from a metal strip purchased from Home Depot. Good luck and make sure you post a build thread and keep everyone updated as it's the best and quickest way to get help.

Your left bicep WILL need to be reshaped as they are very wonky and more oval than round. Just make sure for any test fittings that you are wearing your compression suit as it makes a difference. And yeah, when your ready to enclose the backs of your thighs and shins you'll need help.

Jeff, looking good so far and remember if you need an extra set of eyes or have questions just let me know!

What Steve said above! I'm 5'9 - 185lbs and have an ATA kit that I love but the wait is pretty long.

Derek, you are off and running with that list which is awesome! Good luck with you build and welcome to the Legion In White!

I'm 5'9 and 185lbs and have an ATA kit that I love! Looooong wait time though!

Wow! That newsletter was no joke! Great job everyone and well worth the wait. Loaded with a ton of cool stuff.

SkyGunBros is doing an awesome FT bucket but sadly no armor.

I have the same issue Jeff. I get around it by clicking that button on the top left like gmrhodes said. It is a pain though

If anyone finds someone providing the Flametrooper armor please post it here on our boards. Eagerly waiting for it's creation!

Those snips work great right?

I sit in awe reading this incredible thread! Amazing work and I add myself to the growing crowd of followers.

I'm willing to pretrim if you wish as I'm always home with my boy!

WOW!!! That's weird! I've never heard that question before. *cough cough*

Glad I found this thread! Great work and I'm also glad you've come to us for assistance. This group doesn't miss a thing and we're all looking forward to the final product!!!
