New Member, Hello & Happy New Year

[Blastoderm]

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year and introduce myself as a new member! I say new, but I originally joined about 20 years ago, when I first decided to follow my dream of being a trooper.

I attended an event as an observer, and did buy a suit, but sadly had to sell it shortly after, to pay for other things. I never gave up on the idea  though, and actually kept the fabric neck seal I bought then all this time, hoping I would get there some day! Think I still have the voice board I bought in the loft somewhere too!

So anyway, watching the Mandalorian has reignited my desire, and after after a couple of pretty difficult years on the work front (I'm a Paramedic) & life generally,  I've decided it's time to give it a other go. So here I am! 

Hoping to speak to, and maybe meet some of you in the near future! And thanks in advance for any advice along the way.

Damien

Hi (again)
You'll get great help and advice over here.
Best advice is to ask lots of questions and post lots of pics as you go.
Looking forward to meeting up on a troop on the other end of your build

Welcome back!  It's definitely worth giving another go!  I don't know what I would have done to decompress from the gong show of the last 2 years if I didn't have this hobby to keep me sane.  The troops are somewhat limited currently - but there is still reward in the kit-building part of the hobby.

 

Check out the "getting started" section for some general reading - see what's changed over the years.  Finding and building a kit is very straight forward thanks to the info on this forum.

 

Good luck and Happy New Year!
