Good day all,
I just realized I never made an official "reporting for duty" post, so here it is.
Approved in July with my ANH Stormtrooper.
I am part of the Badlands Garrison in Western Canada.
About me?
Star Wars fan all my life, even saw Episode 4 in theaters way back in 1977, so now you know I'm old.
Always loved the Stormtooper, even as a kid so I knew this had to be my first entry to the 501st. The armor is so intimidating.
Journeyman heavy diesel mechanic by trade but haven't turned a wrench since 2005 and have been in management since.
In my spare time I 3D print many things (mainly Star Wars of course), walk my dog "Chewie", corrupt my son to join the Empire, and as well I have an Instagram account where I post Star Wars action figure photos and try to be funny.
Also I love to travel with Disneyland being one of my more frequent stops.
One day, I'd like to troop with the SoCal Garrison or the Imperial Sands Garrison as I get to San Diego often as well.
If you want to know more, drop me a line and say hi.

Welcome from a newly appointed Badlander. Can't wait to see another TK.

Catching up in the forums.
Welcome from another that waited 45+ years for it.
I just got my approval, you will too.

I'm 6'-3" and 265lbs and just had some AM armor built by Dave's Darkside Depot.
It arrived this morning and looks great.I've tried on a few pieces and they fit very well.
Recommended dealer.

Big brown box day has finally arrived!!
Will be doing some test fitting and I'm sure a few adjustments this weekend.
Then I plan to submit 501st application next week if all goes well.
Thanks to Dave Conklin of Dave's Darkside Depot for the excellent commission build.

Ok, I have to say it since no once else did... "Aren't you a little short for a Stormtrooper?"
Welcome. I am new to this as well and waiting for my armor to arrive early next week (provided tracking can be trusted.)
This is a great group and I've learned a ton just surfing through the various posts.

Well finally some good news. My armor has shipped and should be here next week.
It was a commission build so hopefully I should be able to get accepted quickly.

Well, I am still awaiting my brown box day... Seems like it is taking forever.
I'm just super excited to join and getting a bit impatient.
It is a commission build and I understand they take longer, but I ordered it back in June and the supplier (Dave's Darkside) noted it takes about 2-3 months from the time he pulls kits.
However, now he is not replying to texts or emails from me.
Not sure what the hold up is.
Anyway, I am continuing to read up on stuff on here and reply as I can to stay active.
Hopefully soon I can apply as a full on member.

MaDDN3ss was an online gaming tag that was given to me by teammates as I was a bit "aggressive" in battles.
The X6 was added later as that is what I drive.

Received mine the other day as well.
Signed by Brian and Lindsay.
Almost through it already. Good read.
Thanks Brian and Lindsay.

Welcome Scout. I too am a new recruit from Canada, but from the west side.
Lots of reading and research ahead but well worth it. I've learned a ton from these forums in the short time I've been here.

Ordered mine a few days ago as well. Looking forward to the next batch.

Welcome to the FISD and congrats on the purchase! Where are you in Western Canada? If you are in Alberta, Sask, Manitoba, NWT, or Yukon - be sure to reach out to the Badlands Garrison. BC is the Outer Rim Garrison.
Look up Geeky Pink's Phantastic Gaskets for a neck seal - she is located in western Canada (AB) and makes great stuff.
Thanks for the neck seal info. I'll look her up for sure.
Located in Alberta. I have signed up to the Badlands Garrison forum, just awaiting acceptance email. I have a friend (Yango) who is already part of the Badlands as well.

Hello all,
Just a quick introduction. My name is Cley and I live in Western Canada.
Currently having Dave's Darkside Depot create a set of ANH stunt trooper armor for me so I can take the next steps to join this prestigious group.
Looking forward to my own BBB day so I can show off my new armor to you all.
I already have most of my soft parts ordered (boots from Imperial Boots and an undersuit from Amazon). Just looking for a good neckseal. Found a few on Etsy but making sure they conform before I buy.
Anyway, hello all. Looking forward to meeting you all and becoming an active member.
