Armor is in!!! Woot.. So I now have everything and am super pumped. Mark did a fantastic job, everything looks awesome. My first attempt to wear it didn't go great tho. There is some strapping issues which I totally anticipated. The only thing really slowing me down now is the gauntlets, apparently my Popeye forearms are too big and I can get them all the way on. Mark and I spoke and I am in the process of reworking those a bit, I'm trying to take my time and do it well so I don't jeopardize Centurion status. I hope to post some pictures for comment by all you experts some time next week. I'll make a new thread as Joseph recommended. Thanks for the support everyone! Fox out

Hello Everyone! As I mentioned in another thread, I pulled the trigger a couple months ago on a complete AP ANH Hero build from Mark. I’ve purchased and received everything except the armor, which I am impatiently waiting on! :::Taps boot::: I thought I’d go ahead and start my thread, I’m hoping my beer gut doesn’t require too many alterations to reach Centurion but we’ll see. Below is my list and I will post pictures as I can. I do want to thank everyone who’s contributed to the newbie threads, especially those giving advice on where to go (and not to go). I feel like I did my due diligence as a result. Armor – Authentic Props (Coming Soon) Helmet – Authentic Props (Coming Soon) Belt and Thermal Detonator – Authentic Props (Coming Soon) Holster – Authentic Props (Coming Soon) Gloves – Authentic Props (Coming Soon) E-11 Blaster – Quest Design Canada Boots – Imperial Boots Neck Seal – Trooper Bay Under Suit (2 piece) – Lavento Compression Top and Athlio Compression Bottoms – Amazon Helmet Fans – Henry’s Dual Fan Cooling Kit – Trooper Bay Communication Equipment – iComm Unit and Aker 10 Watt Amplifier – TK Products Empire Cap (for when the lid is off) – Amazon The accessories are exciting and all but receiving the blaster really started bringing home that I was actually going to "be" a Stormtrooper. Definite shout out to Brett for this beauty. I found a reticle on the net and printed it out as a temporary addition, I’ll see down the road if I want to do anything more daring. (Does this count as my first alteration!?!)

Thanks! The help will be appreciated. I've read a number of threads on people who've had to make adjustments to their armor so I am expecting to do some tweaking as well. Regardless of how good Mark is, I know I am not the perfect specimen to tailor to (too much beer for too long). Based on what I've read I should go straight after Centurion level so that'll be the first goal. I have a feeling I won't have a lot of other troopers in my area (small town, closest city is 2.5 hour drive) so after acceptance, the next goal will be recruitment maybe so I have people to troop with!

Hi everyone, I'm new (obviously), been wanting realistic stormtrooper armor since I was a kid and finally took the plunge. Ordered a full commission from Mark a few weeks back and am anxiously awaiting it now. I live in Carlsbad, NM and will be joining Dewback Ridge Garrison once approved. Just wanted to check in and say "Hi", been stalking these boards for awhile trying to increase my knowledge base. Have ordered everything I can think of to be ready to troop and am looking forward to putting it all together and posting pictures for everyone's feedback. SUPER excited to join the ranks!
