[Noob with first build]

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! Yeah it is Exciting and a tad overwhelming!<br><br>

I am a bigger guy so after reading the post on sizes and such. It looks like AM armor<br><br>

Will most likely do the trick.. I have emailed a couple times about a kit and have yet to hear back. Hopefully I will soon.<br><br><br>

Hey all,<br><br>

I was wondering if their was anyone in Wisconsin or northern Illinois who has a lot of experience with these builds to 501 Certification? I tend to learn best hands on. I was wondering if someone was in the area, who might be interested in helping?<br><br>

Thanks!<br><br>

Greetings all!<br><br>

Ok, it all started at a young age. I saw the original episode four in the theater.. and my life has been altered ever since! Can you imagine the horror in the minds of my parents mind, when I looked up and said "That Darth Vader seemed like a good guy." That is a true story! Anyway fast forward 38 years, a deep love of Star Wars, a collection of toys and a wonderful family that enjoys it as much as I Do, and I thought you all were the coolest folks on earth! Plus after watching how you help the community kids, I loved the positive vibe. So that is what brought me here!<br><br>

My name is Mike, but everyone calls me Mikey.. I am a social worker who helps people with severe mental illness, love my job! I have a wonderful family with my wife Mara and 4 year old son Logan. <br><br>

I am getting excited to get armor and build a decent set<br><br>

Thanks all for reading!
