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 ranks! There's really no reason to wait. Don't worry about your armor looking absolutely perfect right out of the gate. The pursuit of perfection is the procrastinator's best friend.
Here's another fun tip: Now that you have your armor built, put it on and wear it around the house for a couple or three hours. It's kind of silly, I know, but once you take it off, you'll be able to tell where it's binding you the most. Those new bruises (or as I like to call them "armor hickies") that you'll find around your elbows and knees? Those are places you might think about trimming your armor or adding padding.
If you need any clarification on the things that we talked about on Saturday -- padding your bicep pieces, mesh for your helmet teeth, how to cut out your teeth, speaker systems -- just shoot me a PM and I'll be happy to clarify and hook you up!
Cheers,
-Brian

It's official!! I am now TK 4541 Just wanted to give a special thank you to everyone, you've been so welcoming and helpful! Especially: River, Neil, Brian, RDB, Whinter and Chris. I can't wait to get out there and troop with all of you!
I went ahead and got my FX approved, but I'm still hard at work on my AP. In fact I was working on it last night when I got my approval email.

There goes the neighborhood. LOLIt's official!! I am now TK 4541
And who is this Chris you speak of? HAHAHA
Glad you are finally official. It seems like yesterday you were just this little girl with dreams of becoming a stormtrooper. Then you saw the 501st and thought 'Wow! I could do that!'.... (I fall back to sleep)
