[CONTEST: Why a Stormtrooper?]

After losing my wife to cancer and our youngest with Asperger's I felt that I couldn't help anyone. Being a Stormtrooper let's me give back.

[Which armor for "Buff" guy?]

AM 2.0 I'm 5'11" 250ish

[Paid work in armor]

Generally, paid events have to be cast by LFL, as they own the IP... However, I would advise you to check with your Garrison Leadership, because there may be different situations that exist locally that make it easier or even more of a taboo there.

If you submit you costume to the LFL Outer Rim Directory you could be hired by Disney to do work.

There are no dumb questions, Omar. A handler is a person (or persons) that take care of the small things that make a troop possible. Here is my "official" description:

 

Handlers- Handlers are an absolutely integral part of a troop, and make our lives much easier. They take photos for the public, warn us of obstacles, escort us to the restrooms/break areas, pick up fallen armor pieces, protect us from kids smacking us with toy lightsabers, guard our stuff, bring us water, keep us informed, and a myriad of other things. After your troop, be sure to thank them for all they do to make an event possible and allow those in costume to have a better time.

[Pittsburgh St Patrick's Day Parade]

Started at 16° F this morning but a beautiful day. The cold kept the crowd away this year but was still a great day. I'm now a proud kilted trooper.

[Tk/Uk armor is it a rippoff]

Ok great. If you dont mind telling me how much you paid for the armor that would be awesome so i know what to expect

Thanks for posting the story about TJ.

 

I am one of the lucky ones that had him help me with my armor.  Even though we were from the same town, I first met him here on FISD.

[Congratulations to our new Detachment Leader - Dark CMF]

Congrats Tim!!!

[Suspenders out of fashion?]

I use suspenders. accuracy has little to do with the internal hardware. the external look is most important.

not everyone is the correct body size.

suspenders give troopers with body challenges the option for a custom fit.

I use suspenders. I needed to change since I am more pear shape. Works great.

[Turning a toy into armor!]

This is going to be awesome. Thanks for taking the time to document your build.

[Greetings From Pittsburgh!]

Welcome to the gang!!!

[501st TK-number choices]

Looking at that list of avalable numbers it starts in the 10k's . Can you not pick a number lower then that say under 10k?

No all of the 3 and 4 digit numbers are gone.

[501st TK-number choices]

Don't have mine yet but I'm hoping for it to be my 5-digit zip which starts with 9. As though we have (had) over 90,000 TKs

 

once your ready and have been approved by your GML you will see a list with all of the available numbers.  You pick five and put them in the order you want, the first number still available will be yours.

[501st TK-number choices]

If you would text 74472 it would come out PGH PA, PGH is a short version of Pittsburgh.
