Seriously, where am I??? :) Mundelein is in the NW suburbs, but I am more than willing to drive anywhere in the greater Chicago area on the weekends. I live in an apt so no real workspace to offer up for an armor party other than my garage and living room. I've never been to an armor party so I'm no...

This has been an exciting week in my long awaited journey to join your ranks! my IC is at the tailor's (hat arrived as well... anyone have belt recommendations?) and my AP armor kit arrived! Hopefully starting a build thread will keep me highly motivated. More to come! & @Zombie_Bunny - I second you...

Good to hear your hand is healing up!

Thanks again - Bean

Thanks!!! I can't wait, I'll try and get some pictures of my tk taken after Thanksgiving so I can get things rolling.

I've been searching for what the specific criteria is for TK armor, but haven't found anything. What types of issues typically prevent people fro...

About the "a little short for a stormtrooper" comment... can I write them a citation for a lame joke? Thank you all for the warm welcome! I look forward to getting to know everyone, and appreciate all the advice. I'm sure you'll see me on here a lot more in the near future as I try to finish up/impr...

Hi everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself, I'm a longtime star wars fan and recently started my first tk kit. I'm a big fan of the work you guys do, combining a passion for star wars with doing something great for the community - doesn't get much better than that! I got a deal on an fx kit (I kno...
