I got some like those I'm thinking of turning into tk boots. They aren't as high as the ones you can buy from tkboots etc. Is the height an issue? Like will they come out from under the shin armour, or not? Sent from my HUAWEI G510-0251 using Tapatalk

I just turned 40 this year and have yet to order my first build! I agree with quite a few of the comments here. I think as you get older, the means to indulge in things you've probably always had bubbling away gets easier. I've just found that some of life's other "distractions" (travel in younger years, those first years with kids on the scene, buying a house, marriage.....all that stuff) kind of gets easier, lifestyle and income have stabilised and now allows for more luxuries. Perhaps you also appreciate the importance of following your passions more, or doing the things you always wish you had up to this point, and don't feel you have the inhibitions you might have had. And, just based on the calibre of people on these posts, it seems a bloody great community to be part of. I'm drawn to the appeal to troop, to put a smile on people's faces, to impart the excitement I had as a kid onto today's youngsters. We were there when the originals were being made - we deserve it. We were the original fans. And likewise, props to the younger troopers who show the respect to the older ones - I'm sure that's appreciated and valued. So I don't think it's unusual at all mate to be 40+ and trooping, in fact, I reckon there's a heap of opportunity at our age to fully enjoy it!
