Hello again
Hello!
I know it's been awhile, but since I'm entering the final stages of construction of my ANH Stunt TK, I figured I'd stop by an re-introduce myself.
I look forward to trooping with you all very soon.

Re: Just getting started
Hello! And welcome to the Midwest Garrison! I can't claim to be super knowlegeable in such things, as I started my TK build about a month ago.

Re: ERROR's ANH Stunt Stormtrooper Build
Progress is moving slowly. Mostly because I am uncertain of how things are supposed to fit. Living by ones self also doesn't help the issue. In the process of putting together a meeting with Master Gazmosis, and that should help with many things. I visited some friends this weekend. They are getting...

Re: ERROR's ANH Stunt Stormtrooper Build
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. Thanks! :) The vibe I got from the FISD was that the shin issue wasn't that big ...

Re: ERROR's ANH Stunt Stormtrooper Build
I've been trimming away the past few days, and have gotten the basic trimming done on most of the major components. (with the exception of the biceps) I hoped this would help solve the shin problem (It did! I can match the shins and can tell right and left from the fit; as foretold by gmrhodes13. :)...

You're just around the corner from me! (La Grange)
I'm researching and planning for a TK as well, and still weighing which armor to buy.

Hello all, I've just graduated college, and will soon be moving to La Grange IL for my first big job. I've known about the 501st for a while and I love what you guys do.
