Hey Kevin, welcome.

I sent you a friend request on FB...we'll chat there.

Just seeing this now...I'll get the admins to get you hooked up Steve.

Right now I am waiting for my full commissioned shadow trooper armor from rs. Has any tk here has any trouble getting costume 501st approved? If so what modifications can I expect? Or if you modified armor from rs for any other reason besides 501st approval then please let me know why and how! Than...
