JTKenobi[TK] Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) Hi All, I just wanted to say THANKS to everyone here for all the great advice over the past several months. I don't think I could have done this without Dave's videos, Troopermaster's advice, Bigturc's photos, as well as all the other great tips that you all gave me. I think my first 30 posts were just questions. Haha. I hope I can be of help to others down the road! I have some minor things to do like paint the screws securing the ammo pouch by the knee as well as some mods to the bucket and hand-plates, but I am basically ready to troop! So, without further ado, here is my completed armor. I will be taking better photos eventually but this is what we came up with for now.... Thanks again everyone! John!

Hey Guys. Thanks so much for the compliments. So you can't tell that I am sucking in my belly? Great! (I am) Anyway I am off to Taiwan tomorrow to visit my wife's family for Chinese New Year so that should be pretty cool. Yummy food and no work for a week!! If anyone wants to see any specific photos of my set up, I'd be happy to post pics when I get back. Thanks again for all the kind words guys. And BTW - What do I need to do to get access to the 501st boards?? Quote
Bigturc Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 You need to be 501st approved .. just go fill out the form on the 501st.com site .. then, make sure to send the proper photos and you should be approved in no time! After that, you just sent a message in the 501st access request threads and you'll be all set! Good job again! Quote
