Pretzel

Welcome to the Shiny & White! Now get out there and troop!

Ska, You are looking good. That looks similar to where my snap placement is on my TK.

Greetings Harry. Beautiful set of armor. I am with Christian on this one. EIB should be no problem! great work.

Hi Kevin, Welcome to the FISD! I have seen and felt the ANOVOS kits, and they will definitely get you in the 501st if built correctly. You were wondering about different options. I highly recommend that you go and check out this forum: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/38-getting-started-read-this-first/ It has great and valuable information! Good Luck!

Kiddos are going to have a blast with this kit. Well done!

Race for Hope 10/02/2016-Philadelphia, PA The day started bright and early. After our cup of coffee me and Luke hit the road and met up with Beth who was our venue host. She was excited to see us. Our changing room was a medium sized production tent. It was large enough for me and Luke + the three ghost base members who joined us. We were pleasantly surprised to see a lot of people attending this event. The weather was decent, with maybe light mist in the beginning, but soon was just overcast. A big thanks to Ghost Base: Rebel Legion for watching our backs and grabbing some snacks and drinks for us to munch on for our small break. The kids and adults were very happy to see us. It turned out to be a great event. Attendees: Luke - A Dashing Kylo Preston - An obedient TK Ghost Base: Alexandra - Rey Jacob - Jedi Samantha - Jedi

Good Luck!

Another Troop to Log. This is an awesome one. My first show with Weird Al! TO MODS: I again respectfully request this topics name be changed from TK-91488 "Razgriz" Troop Log to TK-91488 "Pretzel" Troop Log. Thank You mod Team. 9/20/2016. Weird Al Concert. - Bethlehem, PA Sands Event Center. Wow. What an amazing event. The Weird Al crew treated us great. I was a little nervous lol. But was able to preform just find. I was honored. He chose me to sing to towards the end of our performance. Crowd was great! They really cheered when we walked on stage. I was able to capture some behind the scene shots before we went out on stage. of course.. Some shots of us performing. Some video. Only one I can find at the moment of our performance. Weird Al entrance: you can see us in our racing shirts.

keep at it Christine! You are doing great.

9/11/2016 - Allentown, PA. Festival of Arts, Science and Technology (FAST) What a great event. The folks at the Da Vinci Center really treat us well and really appreciate our presence. We met up with Brian, who I personally worked with before for asking about taking photos for his future events. They gave us chocolate, and even a banner thanking us. Most of us has the chance to write our ID #'s on the banner! We all got our gear on and took a couple photos of us partying in the hallway. Then went out and posed for the camera. I was stationed with Kylo for a bit, and had a chance to roam around. I was greeted by some kiddos and did some more posing. I then found some "droids" they were not the ones we were searching for...I had a lot of fun interacting with some of the exhibits there. Some real talented kids! Ferris ( Iron pigs Mascot) showed up, and so did the Nitney Lion. I chased Ferris for a bit with my Blaster, then he came back and wonked me over the bucket with a lightsaber he found. After an hour or so we all got together for a group shot and some of us went on break. The host was kind enough to provide Pizza and individual sandwiches for those who requested them. The sandwiches came with an apple, Chips and even a cookie! After the initial break we went back out and did our thing! This will be a repeat troop for me. Uncle Owen is here!!!

Good Luck on your build!

Welcome to the Shiny & White!

First... I request the topic of this post be changed from "Razgriz" to "Pretzel" due to my nickname change... Yes.. I have been through a ton of name changes...this one has to stick because my Garrison calls me this lol anyway.. I have 2 more troops to report! Not a whole lot of pics though. 8-21-2016 Philadelphia Please Touch Museum. This was a 2 day event. Saturday and Sunday. I went on Sunday and was able to entertain the crowd awaiting pictures with Kylo Ren and Darth Vader. Some pictures of me may be floating around on someone's Facebook or Instagram... But I did bag my first rebel scum!!! Afterwards... All of the characters met up for a "goodbye" photo in front of the main sculpture at the museum. There is a video floating around of us on a carrousel... Kudos to anyone who is able to find that... A few days went by and I'm out trooping again... 8-23-2016 "Lifespan School and Daycare End of Summer Carnival." -Allentown, PA First time at this small event. We attended a small school daycare. They were having a "end of the summer" event. The kids made small carnival games and have our little prizes. It was a cute little event to celebrate the last month of Summer. The kids were good.. For the most part. A couple of grabby kiddos were trying to snag my TD! I took aim at a few games and made a kids day allowing him to hold my blaster for a quick photo op! Until next time...

Yup.. This one has to stick because my Garrison Mates dubbed me this nickname. I swear, I have to be done lol Might as well name me nameless. So.. Pretzel. The garrison calls me "Pretzel Christian" which is a play from my real name: "Preston Christman" so you can tell the similarities. this is the fault of one of the senior members and command staff there. We were at a big armor party and Jason (part of Command) yells... "PRETZEL CHRISTIAN!!! is HERE!!!" A lot of us busted out laughing, and. the name just stuck.. so I am going to have to roll with it. side note.. my girlfriend is now known as Honey Mustard.

I forgot to respond! I have not gotten around to do any replacements on the TD yet.. But I am in the process of converting it to a HWT! But to answer your question pew, My "wife" --- girlfriend lol, got her "sweater" which is actually a cooking apron from walmart or spencers.. not sure where.. but I bet its on Amazon too! Jus tsearch Stormtrooper Apron!

So.. though I like my forum name.. my Garrison has dubbed me a new nickname that stuck. Rather Original actually, and I like it.. lol My real name is Preston Christman. A guy in my garrison, Jason, has started calling me "Pretzel Christian" a play on my 1st and last name.. and Pretzel has stuck.. So, Let's change this name one last time to : Pretzel Thanks.. might as well change my name to "Nameless" soon lol Side note: my title is "Expert Infantyr" I am pretty sure this is misspelled? can this be changed to "Expert Infantry" Thanks!

If you all need more funds. I will gladly donate. Increase that budget

Shae, thanks again for this. What was the paint type/colors you used to paint the boxes/cups on the pack?

Congrats again Shea! Nice pic lol Thanks for the shopping list. It is a big help

Found your build thread here on FISD and was able to meet you in person over the weekend at Bash. This is a great thread! I think I will be referencing this soon, and perhaps start on my HWT journey Great work Trooper!

I would love to create a heavy. Great stuff

I am in a similar position my friend. I too made the mistake of ordering the wrong size kit. I did not do enough research. I sure thought I did. RT is the kit you and I should have chosen. I made my AP kit work the best I could. I bent those bells, and shimmed those thighs.. I did manage to obtain EIB, but it will be impossible to obtain level 3 until I get an RT kit and start over or at least get separate parts. Good Luck, and look up RT Mod. That is who you want to go through for bigger parts.

Good Luck on your build! Take your time. DO NOT MAKE MY MISTAKES and you will be shiny and white very soon!

That's awesome news! Keep at it, and you will be shiny and white soon!

Good Luck on the rest of your build. Nice work on the bucket. I know you have a deadline! But.. pace yourself! Once those eyes become heavy, its almost impossible to get the job done right!
