  1. Good stuff! Love the cotton candy shot.
  2. I went with Vader Dave when I had my FX. Good stuff. Cleaner than my paint on my AP now lol...
  3. Centurions also get complimentary champagne on board any Star Destroyer.
  4. There's probably a fine line of comfort vs. what looks good in a mirror. I don't think TK's every feel completely comfortable, but at the same time you should be able to take a test walk around your yard or street and the suit shouldn't cut into the backs of your knees and into your forearms. Also as you wear it more and more it just becomes second nature and less of a surreal experience. Though I don't think I ever suit up without a big smile on my face.
  5. Same here. My straps are thinner though and I'm going to come up with the wider ones. I've seen a number of people with two snaps to connect with as well for extra protection.
  6. Don't mind me just wiping the drool off my mouth... Nice work!
  7. Nice work! I was able to TK with the lego X-Wing at Legoland and man photos do not do justice to the size of that thing. I also saw the eFX suit in person this weekend at SDCC. I was initially a little engraged before I got down there and I apologize for bringing any negativity to FISD. To quote Bill Burr "I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT MY OPINIONS AND I WANT TO TELL YOU ALL OF THEM BEFORE YOU START TALKING AGAIN"... Love you guys!
  8. Those are still some fun shots. Nice work!
  9. Hmmm they must have cropped all the beer out of frame...
  10. Awesome just looked at your SCG hello and realized this is OUR Jesse! Looking good man! You've got a ton of local troopers to talk with. You'll have that TK number before you know it.
  11. Well I think the TK is a suit you truely make your own. My first suit was a hand me down used FX and I thought getting everything together all at once put me at an advantage. WRONG. I ended up having to resize the thighs and change out this and that to even get it close to basic level approvable. I've also seen people that purchased AP and another armor maker that requested it ready to wear and in the end they did a ton of work to get it fitted correctly for them. I'm on my 2nd TK now which is AP (I need to update my banner I know) and I started on it from scratch. That one truly came together as I hoped it would and now I'm very proud to take it out on adventures. I'm not saying it's impossible to get a suit out of the box that's 95% of the way there for you, but don't be afraid to take time with it and by all means check with other local TK's that can give you valuable insight and advice on your build. With the new movies and so much going on with Disney and Star Wars, it's a great time to be getting on board. Now that I am thinking about it, I'm going to go try to update my banner....
  12. I just saw a recent NE Centruion submission on here and just saw my first NE armor in person at an armor party the other week. Defnitely learn from others mistakes and check the tutorials and EIB and Cent submissions. I always push finding a local armor party in your garrison too. You'll pick up tons of veteran advice and tips and most likely make some new friends!
  13. Good lord I just went to that site link. $1400 for that crap? FOR SHAME.... Glad to have you on here. FISD is still my favorite forum. SO. MUCH. INFO. Agreed with Ingrid it just depends on where the weight is. If you haven't already found your local garrison, get on it and make friends. Look for an armor party. You'll pick up a ton of info and tips!
  14. OK let me clarify.... "Not trying very hard"
  15. For sure. Do a search on Instagram and you'll find all sorts of TK hate crimes. I will refrain from posting any because I don't know these people and some of them do indeed appear to be trying.
  16. LMAO I can see the scowl on your face through the bucket!
  17. It would be nice to see a return to hard costumes over CGI, but then again we might be considered a bit biased here in our lot...
  18. I was in the same boat when I got my first FX hand me down. Lots of goo gone and scraping and cleaning in front of the TV. Filling in holes from old snaps. All sorts of mess. The payoff was great though when I finally got out and trooping with it.
  19. Yeah the funny thing I've noticed about Boba is that when I'm with stormtroopers people sometimes ask if I'm in charge of them. That gives me a touch of Vaderidus!
