Re: Joining from Southern Illinois

Welcome to the garrison, DB! I am also in southern IL, a little northwest of you near St Louis. You picked a great hobby to be a part of! Working on plastic isn't as difficult as it may seem at first, but a little guidance goes a long way. Whatever you decide to do, definitely post up here and let u...

Re: Support requests -- titling and pruning

Hi, I received my membership about two weeks ago, but my request to be added to the member group hasn't been processed.
Could someone look into that, please?

Thanks for your time!

Re: Armor parties?

Just received my AP kit today. Looks like I may have to take a trip up to the northern part of the state and get a little help.

Re: New recruit in Chicago

Welcome! I'm sure several members will be along to say hello as well. You're already on FISD, so you are on the right track. Most all of your questions can be answered there. Personally, I am waiting on an order for AP armor. I think Chills (member here) used TM for his build. If you haven't seen hi...

Re: Tk boots

TK Boots has a massive backorder list, which I was put on back in September. I still haven't heard anything from them. I decided to place an order through Imperial Boots. Order placed on Oct 27th, shipped on Nov 2nd. For some reason, the package sat in Hong Kong until Nov 17th. I received them on No...

Re: Armor parties?

Thanks for the explanation. I'm still a few weeks away from my armor showing up, but I thought it would be a good idea to ask ahead.

Re: New recruit from southern IL

Good to meet another Gary. :D Glad to hear your build is coming along, bit by bit. I read a few of your posts as well - best of luck getting things squared away to finish out the Mando, and I hope to catch you at one of the troops. I believe working as a handler is supposed to be another way to part...

Armor parties?

I've heard stories here and on FISD of this elusive thing called an armor party.

Are these regular events, or just something that springs up on occasion? I'd love to hear more about them, and how someone would go about setting one up.

Re: New recruit from southern IL

Hi bdc! Yep, I'm looking at the ANH Stunt armor for my first. Seems to be a popular choice. :) Thanks for sharing your experience so far. I thought there might be a delay between ordering and receiving items, but it seems the wait is a bit longer than I expected. That's ok though, since I know it wi...

Re: New recruit from southern IL

Thanks, Drk_Trooper! After reviewing a lot of information on FISD, I'm planning on a "standard" TK build. I'm 5'7" and 175lb, so I'm still determining which armor would work best for me. There sure are plenty of options out there, it seems. Not sure what other information might help at this point......

New recruit from southern IL

Hey all, my name is Gary, and I live in Shiloh, IL - jut outside St Louis, for those that may not know of our little town. I am originally from the Chicago area, but moved here to go to college, and ended up staying (and getting married, and having three girls). I've been interested in Star Wars for...
