Hi gang, Silly question I have, yes. For those who know me, I'm usually lurking around on the MEPD boards. I know a little about sandtroopers and ANH stormtroopers but can anyone here "school" me on the difference between the ANH Blastech E-11 and the ESB's? I am very interested in finally having an TE2 ESB armor suit that meets the standards here, but I'm still trying to get the blaster right. I currently have a Sci-fire Hyperfirm ANH blaster and I'm in the process of obtaining a ROTJ E-11 from JB and Co. at Sci-fire. Thank you for any information you can share with me. Aloha, T

Oh my goodness!!! That is only the second TE glossy set of armor I've ever seen and it's beautiful!!! How did you ever score this???? Clutch, you are one fortunate trooper bro! Man, I wish I had one... T

My dear friend, If you need ANYTHING, please give your family in Hawaii a call. We'll be here for you. Warmest aloha, Tony & Faye Jessica, Jonathan Samantha, Buster, & Abigail

Congrats dad! I read this somewhere, author unknown: Anyone can be a father. It takes that special someone to be DADDY! Aloha and God bless, always! Tony & Faye SAGUN

Oh, that stuff? Just something I picked up from a friend of ours... T

Oops... Did I forget to share some photos? T

Whoa, that's quite a revelation... T

Paul, I just finished putting my ESB bucket together and I have a question about the photo of the inside of the ESB helmet that you shared with us. Do you know what type of adhesive was used to secure the stunt lens material to the inside of the helmet? It doesn't seem familiar to me and I don't think I've ever seen that type of product before... Thanks, T

Man, that's beautiful! Okay, let's get the word out to all... Great work bro! T

Ooo! Ahh! I want! I want! T

Beautiful photos! Thanks bro. Now, if I can only find the time... T

Hi Paul, Thanks for the info. A new blaster??? D'oh! Well, I guess I'll have to keep an eye out for an ESB blaster... Thanks bro, T

Thanks bro! I grabbed a couple of ESB trooper shots last night before bed-dee-bye! T

Thanks Paul, Absolutely fabulous! Mike H. also sent me some photos of this helmet! Awesome! I guess what I'm trying to do here is to gather up some information on the differences between the ANH and ESB (armor). I plan to use a TE2 helmet and armor for this new project. I already have the different hand plates so any information on the ESB bucket and armor would be much appreciated! One question Paul if you have a moment. Does this helmet appear thinner (longer in height) and a bit shorter (diameter) than the ANH buckets? Aloha, T

Hi guys, Is it too late to submit some photos of my TE? TGuns

Hey gang, Does anyone have any good photos of an ESB bucket? I just got my ESB helmet decals from Trooperdecals.com and I wanted to begin this little project. Thanks. T

Hmmmm. Nice photo. I think the bucket on the far right is quite handsome...

GEEZ!! After reading ALL the posts from all the younglings, I guess I REALLY AM one of the "veterans" in trooping! I was a twenty year old U.S. Air Force enlisted troop getting ready to go to South Korea when I first saw Star Wars in Sacramento, California... For many, many years I wanted to wear Stormtrooper armor - I just thought it looked "cool"... Then in 2004, I purchased my first set: FX. Now 2 years later (and 2 TE sets) mesa thinks I'll pursue an EPIII clonetrooper helmet... T

Oh come on now sir! Tell us how you really feel??? T

A belated "congratulations" to all of you who took part in bringing this detachment on-line and making it a reality! T
