Re: Lookin' for droids in all the wrong places

Hi TKTrooper, Did you have some specific questions on your helmet build? Whitearmor.net is a great tk resource, but we also have some very skilled TK builders in the MWG who I'm sure would be happy to provide you with some advice. :)

Re: You can call me Captain or Sir

Hi , thanks for stopping in, lurk away! :) I lurk on the GLG boards myself, as I'm from MI and go back often to visit my parents. So I'm sure we'll meet soon.

Hope to see you at a troop, in either state!!
