I'll echo Whinter and River, Beans - From a fellow new recruit, it was great meeting you, too, and I can't wait to see you suited up alongside the rest of us! Pictures? Awesome! Like I said at the fair, you've put off enlistment long enough. If you've got your suit finished, go ahead and join the ra...

Beans, When I was putting my TK together, circumstances didn't really align for me to meet up with another trooper for hands-on assistance, so I put mine together 100% solo. That said, the people here are really cool, and with a few PMs and a phone call or two, I got a lot o my questions answered. A...

Thanks RDB! It's good to be official. :tksmilie: Sure, once I decided to finally break ground on it, yeah, maybe it came together fast, but don't let that fool ya! I got my kit from TK-585 a long time ago in a Wal-Mart parking lot far, far away. It was back in 2005, just before RotS came out. I prom...

Beans! Welcome aboard! From your picture, your armor looks to be almost done! You'll want to spraypaint your blaster with a flat black and clear-coat it for sure. If you want to go all-out, you can give it a few layers in silver, then three or four in black. Then, before you clear-coat, use some 600...

Great idea, 8114 and TDK! You too, Doughboy... though I think there's a better Fleet for this 'Fang to join. :) If my plan to get the GF involved pans out, she should be able to join the Rebel Legion before I do -- Unless I'm mistaken, Juno Eclipse is one of those rare characters that goes both ways...

Fully Armed & Operational

Hey all, Just dropping an update here. My armor is complete! I've sent in my registration and photos, so now it should just be a matter of time while the good folks in the Imperial Security Bereau check and double-check my credentials. But with my TK done, I suddenly find myself thinking about what ...

Progress Report! Everything is coming along swiftly! I've got everything from the neck down finished, though I'm still waiting on my Rendance body glove (delayed a week for reasons unknown) and my neck seal exchange (first one was too tight) to come back from TrikToys. (Oddly, by accident or nefari...

You sir are a lucky lucky man. lol. Haha! I like to think so. Thanks, guys. It looks like we're going to put off her enlistment in the 501st for now. She's opted to go with Senator Leia for Halloween this year since it has ten times better costume recognition with her non-geek friends than an Imp O...

Good advice, guys. I think all is cool. The GF is totally backing me up on the TK build. All encouragement. She's actually the one who spurred me to finally get the kit out of the Big Brown Box and start assembling. :) We're hosting what should be a pretty big Halloween party, and she definitely wan...

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone. I wouldn't expect anything less from the Empire's Finest! I've been talking with Damian and River off-line about a Chicago armor party happening late next month. I'll be sure to be there, but by that time, hopefully the only real issue I'll need to deal with wi...

New Recruit in Chicago!

Howdy everyone! I'm a new Trooper-To-Be and I thought this would be the best place to announce my arrival. My name's Brian, and I'm currently assembling my TK armor from a kit that Mike Washko hooked me up with a while back. I've actually met a bunch of folks from the Midwest Garrrison already --I w...
