Re: Ready to order my armor...

Thanks guys!

I spent the last couple of nights getting my armor to fit in a suitcase. Like Tetris!

I'll be at the SW Day in Joliet, tomorrow. Looking forward to meeting a lot of the MW Garrison.

Re: ANOVOS TK ARMOR introduction workshop

I bought an Anovos kit, even though I just finished up my set of TM armor. I'm totally in for this workshop.

Re: Could use a Star Wars hug

Hang in there! Sounds like a crappy week, but today is Monday and its a new week and new month. Those were temporary setbacks, you'll get your costume. :)

I hope your son and daughter are better.

What costume are you saving up for?

Re: Hello. I'm hoping to join the 501st.

Hi Katrina, welcome to the board! Good choice for a first costume; I just finished up my TK build and submitted my 501st application. FISD can be a bit overwhelming, at first, but there are a lot of TKs on this board who can help you out. Feel free to ask questions and best of luck with your build. :D

Re: Ready to order my armor...

Hi everyone!! Well, it's been a while since my last post; I've been busy working on my armor. I am happy to say that I submitted my photos and application to our GML on Friday! Now I wait to see what he thinks, and if I'll get accepted. I have to give a shout out to gazmosis. He was invaluable in he...

Re: Ready to order my armor...

That's right down the road from me. We go shopping at that Meijer all the time. LOL That's cool you're so far along. I'm also going to aim for Centurion. What do you mean by upgrading R2? I've got great news to report: my boots arrived on Tuesday, and are fantastic looking. They fit great, too. As f...

Re: Ready to order my armor...

Hey Max, where are you in Bolingbrook? I'm in Naperville, off 95th street. How's the build going with the ATA armor? Are you aiming for a certain certification level?

Thanks Coin! I can't wait to get out and troop with the garrison.

I just checked the tracking, and the armor is already in Memphis!

Re: Ready to order my armor...

Well, it's been almost a month since my last post. In that month there were delays and more delays with my E-11, boots, and armor. First, Doopydoos delayed shipping my blaster, but it arrived about a week ago. I haven't begun the build on it, yet, but I hope to start this weekend. There's a lot more...

Re: PLEASE HELP

I'm a newbie who's starting to work on his first stormtrooper costume. Like the others have said, head over to whitearmor.net. The guys on FISD are awesome, they'll point you in the right direction for your suit. There are also tons of threads with directions and tips for building.

Re: Ready to order my armor...

Well, I just heard from TM and it looks like my armor will be shipped in the next week! So excited!!! I can't wait to get that big brown box and start my build thread. I also heard from Doopydoos, and my E-11 kit was shipped last Friday. I've got my Aker, neck seal, under suit, holster, and belt (mu...

Re: Ready to order my armor...

Thank MJ. I plan on taking lots of pictures and posting them. I don't see many TM builds on FISD, but I suspect all the builds are pretty similar. Knowik will be getting her armor in around the same time as me, she went with AP, so there will be a couple of build threads starting in February. I'm re...

Re: Ready to order my armor...

Thanks for the link, TK265. That's a bit out of the price range I'm looking at. I actually went ahead and ordered a Doopydoos kit. It'll be more work, but I'm ok with that. That TM armor soaked up a lot of the budget I had for my TK uniform. The Nomex gloves I have are similar to the military ones. ...

Re: Ready to order my armor...

Thanks for the link, Fettman. That's a pretty cool looking kit. I haven't bought an E-11 kit, yet, so I'll definitely look into this one a bit more. SL9965: yeah, the rubber gloves from HD. I planned on getting them for Centurion certification. But for actual trooping I was going to use a pair of bl...

This is good info, ERROR, glad you're posting details about your build. I'd like to hear what the veterans say about the shin armor issue you're having.

I'm in the waiting phase, but I hope to have my armor next month.

Hi Dravin. I hope it's now 11 weeks until I get my boots. LOL My neck seal should be here tomorrow, looking forward to trying it on. I also put in an order for a voice amp, went with an Aker.
