Halfpint[TK] Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 Hi everybody, my name is Alan and I am located in Germany. Always been a Star Wars fan ever since the early 80‘s. Now I am old enough ( lol ) to finally make my dream come true. So is am working on getting a complete armor since my craftsmanship is zero to none with plastics and I do not have the space as well. Am looking for some insights on how to once my set arrives. if you have any question feel free cheers Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halfpint[TK] Posted October 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 Thanks again everyone. Also made a post in the 501st German garrison but no reply yet. It will take some time until my order arrives so I am not in a rush. Been ordering from trooper stuff which works with RWA creations and only read good about both.

It’s been quite a while but it seems the German forum is not replying. But since I am still waiting for my BBB I am in no rush. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halfpint[TK] Posted November 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 Just a short update. My tk is being build right now and I should receive it before Christmas if I am lucky. As soon as I get it I will post some pictures so you can help me if anything needs to be perfected in any way. Just wanted to keep you up to date here 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 At times it's just a few tweaks with strapping so hopefully you won't have too much to adjust. Looking forward to the BBB photos soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nairy[Staff] Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 Very good to hear, thanks for the update! Be sure to start a build thread or pre-approval request when you get it and we'll help you out when the time comes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halfpint[TK] Posted November 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Thank you very much. Can I start the build thread on here and also the pre approval request or do I have to do this on the German site? Just asking because the German forum is really not responding to much as I can tell.

Commander Gree[501st] Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Welcome Alan! If i might, the updates you are posting are absolutely perfect and boy do we love to see this stuff. Might i suggest, move these over to a WIP (work in progress) thread and continue to post there. that way you will one day be able to go back and look at where you started, and may undertake the building of your next kit, and can use these as reference pics. Either way, welcome to the FISD and we look forward to you joining us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
