TK Rome

Can I make a second guess? June 6.

Baby got Back by Sir Mix A Lot. This trooper likes a big derriere.

I'm 6'1" pushing 270 and I'm in AM. got approved everything looks good but my thighs sit a little low like the trooper above. I have a few inches of black showing between my thighs and belt, how would I shim my thighs to make look like they're higher?

The guy that made the Millennium Falcon drone is back and he's made a TIE Interceptor! Our drones will strike fear in the hearts of the Rebel Alliance. http://www.cnet.com/news/tie-interceptor-drone-is-the-meanest-starfighter-in-the-galaxy/#ftag=YHF65cbda0

Dang I'll be there may 4-10 honeymooning. Should have planned it a week or two later huh?

Apparently people got to lazy to pronounce the N at the end of my name, Romen. So since I've always wanted to be a stormtrooper i just added a TK prefix and that's what i use now, TK Rome.

I think the only bummer is that it's set up for only one day on the cruise. Would be really cool if they made the whole week long cruise star wars themed.

Really? I rock the AM and so do a couple other guys in IE Squad and I've yet to hear anyone say a thing about the AM armor. Maybe because it's a derivative of the NE armor which in turn is based off the FX armor? Either way, no legion member should ever put down another member for their armor. That's just being a bully. Even if someone showed up in an unmodified rubies armor set, it just might mean they didn't know about fisd or any of the other places to get info about armor. As a legion prospect myself, I feel it's everyone's duty to help inform and encourage others about proper armor and equipment with an attitude. And to those that do try and bully others, shame on them. The 501st is a way for us to escape reality and the harshness of life so we can come together to have fun and bring joy into the life of others while we do it. The legion shouldn't tolerate armor snobs.

I feel that FX armor shouldn't be eliminated. I think it's ok that it's no longer passable for 501st approval only because now there's so many better a variants of armor now. But to those who still use their old FX I still say go ahead and rock it. It shows the beginnings of the 501st and where we cam from.

Snaps: yeah I figured just zap it. I gorilla glued it but I did it wrong and the top was digging into me just above my knee and after a few steps it just popped off. Sithlord: I did a fair bit of swearing. I said things within earshot of my nephew and i spent a week trying to get him to stop. Polartrooper: I find after a few hours of yelling at my armor, some fireball whiskey soothes the throat and keeps the cold at bay.

I thought of heating up the knee plate. My armor is the AM kit which I believe is a derivative of the old NE kits. I'll try to post a pic if i can.

What's the best way to go about attaching a sniper knee plate? I've tried glue and rivets but because of the funky shape of my knee plate (I think it might have slipped off the mold during casting) it won't fit my shin correctly and is lopsided. But I'm determined to get this thing on! Any clues on how to attach it and keep it from digging into my knee??

At least he got the knee plate on the correct shin.

Most will just have the design printed on. There's one available at Kohl's for about $20. It's red and has green knit designs of Vader, troopers, and tie fighters.

I agree with Arkuu. I'm currently building an AM kit and I'm very happy with it.

I went this weekend hoping to see them, but no luck

I don't like it. Makes it seem like nothing has happened in the 30+ years since Jedi. What did everyone just kind of sleep off the hangover after they Yub Nubbed all night???

I love that picture. Fills me with pride every time I see it because it proves what a great organization the 501st is and how it helps dreams come true.

Congrats buddy.im taking a serious guess here and saying April 21st

Looks like fun. Can't wait to start trooping myself.

I'm thinking of getting the standard imperial cog but I'm the biggest chicken ever.

I have a few pics of my armor as its built. tk_rome

Ha that looks awesome.

As much as I love the look of the new helmet, there is no way I would ditch my ANH armor. Aside from the fact that it's not complete yet (I've dropped the ball these last two weeks) it is the defining look of Star Wars. Forget lightsabers and Jedi, the cold icy white grip of the Imperial Stormtrooper will keep a firm grasp on the collective imagination of fans the world wide.
