theisaac Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Mike spent more time on my armor than I think I did. I'm a bigger trooper so that presented many challenges for Mike. We got to EIB and that was mainly because of Mikes patience with me. He's not only good with the specs of the suits. He's a great motivator as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candymanq[TK] Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Mike (Highway) Culp is the fastest at assembling armor. You give him a day with your kit, he'll have it done or close to it. He has helped myself and countless others get into armor. He's the reason our garrison has so much white armor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaY Pizza[TK] Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Michael (Highway) Culp helped me with not just one, but 2 kits, because of his skills at putting together armor i am not only an MEPD Deployed sandtrooper, but also a Stormtrooper Centurion class. in my opinion he is the best armor maker in Arizona, becouse of his skills my dream of being in the 501st are a reality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFDarkside[TK] Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) TK-1636, Michael "Highway" Culp, also assisted me with my TK build (ATA Works ANH Stunt). I would not have joined the 501st without his promise to help fit and assemble virtually all aspects of my armor. In addition, he paid great attention to the details and helped me qualifiy for EIB and Centurion. He clearly has a passion for Star Wars armor and lives the 'Troopers helping Troopers' code! He taught me numerous techniques I have applied to other costumes and have further passed along while helping others. Thanks for all your hours of help Mike!

P0int Zeroo Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 TK-1636 has recently helped me obtain EIB and helped me build my armor. If it wasn't for his kindness and availability to help I wouldn't be in the 501st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK1636[TK] Posted December 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 I have more coming just need them to chime in on here, a lot of the guys I build for don't come onto FISD or don't put in for EIB. I try to build to EIB and Centurion from the get go, some don't want to post and I am fine with that. I started three years ago with my garrison because I wanted more accurate stormtrooper at our events, I never had any desire to post up videos but one of the guys I help got me started and the rest is history. Thank you all for the congrats and I will keep posting up video as long as people come over so I can help them build there kits. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waffen5 Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Michael "Highway" Culp, TK-1636, assisted me with my TK build in Arizona. He assisted me with the process of joining the 501st (DuneSea Garrision--Arizona) and modified the armor to standard. His detail and knowledge in Star Wars greatly assisted me in the process. He put in long hours and got the armor done within a seemly fast period. Thanks for all your hours of help Mike! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warwitch Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Michael "Highway" Culp, TK-1636, assisted me in every step of my armor creation. From the ground up to the final touches to reach EIB status here and for the Dune Sea Garrisson. I'd like to extend a huge thank you for all his help and assistance! In the time I've known him he's helped others complete countless suits of armor. He's most definitely a Master Armorer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camprandall Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 I'll back this up and say that Culp helps a ton of our new TKs every year with their builds, often offering his own hardware and using his own tools, and always shoots for the higher levels of accuracy. It's a shoe-in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-42134[TK] Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) I happened to find Mike's TK build videos while searching YouTube for a visual reference on my first build. I am grateful that he has made them, as they helped me in spots where I was stuck, or needed confidence when I had none. They are very informative, and I probably would not be where I am at if it weren't for those videos, and help from friends and other Troopers in my area. I would like to commend him all the way from California, not having even met him. Although, I sent him a few emails to ask him some questions, and he kindly replied to each one. Thank you, Mike. Hopefully there will be a day that I can thank you in person. Best Regards, Mark Edited September 3, 2018 by TK-42134 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
