Roukie 1[TK] Posted January 3, 2020 Report Posted January 3, 2020 Belated happy new year to all of you. I´m Andreas from good ol´ germany. Being a Star Wars fan for so many years, I finally decided to build my own Armor. I will try to become a R1 TK following the 501st Standards. Since I began researching Infos about buying, building and so on, there´s not much time left for anything else :)) It´s quite time consuming but also interresting and exciting to follow WIPs and Videos on YT. I finally bought a TK Kit from 850 Armor Works. Until BBB day I will continue gathering Infos as much as possible. That´s all so far. Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted January 3, 2020 Report Posted January 3, 2020 Hello and welcome aboard, good luck with the research, looking forward to seeing your build very soon Quote
T-Jay[TK] Posted January 3, 2020 Report Posted January 3, 2020 Hi Andreas and welcome here. I see you are located in NRW (me too), so in the end you will join the same squad (White Shadows Squad). I am one of two Attachés this squad has, so if you run into any questions, feel free to contact me via PM here. In case your BBB day is still far away, you might want to use the time to build a blaster...?! Looking forward to your build thread and trooping together in the future. Quote

ukswrath[Staff] Posted January 4, 2020 Report Posted January 4, 2020 Welcome Andres, looking forward to your build Quote
wook1138[TK] Posted January 4, 2020 Report Posted January 4, 2020 Welcome to the FISD. Good luck with your build. R1 TK... nice! Quote
masterx244[TK] Posted January 4, 2020 Report Posted January 4, 2020 Welcome, too from another german TK Quote
Roukie 1[TK] Posted January 4, 2020 Author Report Posted January 4, 2020 Hi Guys, thanks for your welcomes. Currently I´m sorting out where to get my soft parts and other stuff needed. Not quite easy for a noobie to this. I always thought, my english isn´t that bad, but now I realize it´s not really the yellow of the egg. But giving up is no option. Quote
T-Jay[TK] Posted January 5, 2020 Report Posted January 5, 2020 Don't let that bring you down, Andreas. A few years ago, I was in the exact same situation. It will start getting easier, once you are familiar with all the specific terms, being used here and for your type of costume. Another help might be an (online) translator. Helped me a lot and I am still using it almost daily. If that does not work for you, there also is a section of FISD in German language. However, in case you feel overwhelmed and think about stopping your activities, I would suggest to register on the forum of the German Garrison instead. Just be aware, there are not many R1 TKs out there and for specific questions you might be asked to head to the FISD again. Quote
Roukie 1[TK] Posted January 5, 2020 Author Report Posted January 5, 2020 Hi Tino, I first registered to the german forum and thought it can´t be wrong to register here also. You´re right, information about R1TK are quite little. But I will go for it. Once set in mind. Meanwhile I know a lot about the ANH TK My list of tools and other things needed is growing daily. Thanks to online shopping, things keep coming in, too. The tension grows. Quote
TKSpartan[Staff] Posted January 6, 2020 Report Posted January 6, 2020 welcome to FISD. and good luck with your project. Quote

Once set in mind. Meanwhile I know a lot about the ANH TK (...) Not sure if I got that right, but in case you should change your mind, I can help you much more on a classic TK, than a R1 TK. Not pushing you, just offering help. I guess there must be a reason why the ANH Stunts are the most preferred type of TK all over the world. Quote
Roukie 1[TK] Posted January 6, 2020 Author Report Posted January 6, 2020 Thanks, but as I'm a little outsider, I'd like to go for the R1. As you stated, there is a lot of classics running around. But help in any way will be appreciated. 1 Quote
Cybergrunt[TK] Posted January 8, 2020 Report Posted January 8, 2020 Happy New Year to you too Andreas. Welcome to the FISD and good luck with your build. Definitely an exciting time Quote
