TK9926 Posted September 10, 2023 Report Posted September 10, 2023 Transmission incoming… *static* Greetings All, Its been many years and many stories to share but.. There has been an awakening, The Garrisons are calling and I’m ready! Former TK-9926 CT-9926 Armor and collectibles destroyed by X-wife and new boyfriend. The time has come to rebuild and enjoy life as a trooper. Some May remember my past, but from this point forward all will know of a 52 year old trooper who loves the Garrisons and movies from a long time ago, in a galaxy far,far away… I look forward to thanking each and every trooper and blessing all who helped me in my quest again to return to my life style as a trooper. Future build: Sand Trooper As a former 501st member I know you’ll help out with advice and a warm greeting that’s much appreciated. Best regards, Patrick DeVoe End Transmission… 1 Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted September 10, 2023 Report Posted September 10, 2023 Hello and welcome back trooper, looking forward to seeing you added back to the ranks. OUCH that's gotta hurt, really sad how vindictive people can be. This thread may be of help on your journey Also MEPD look after Sandtroopers so definitely do some research there. FYI it appears you still have 501st access here on the forum, something others starting out don't Don't be afraid to ask questions, good luck Quote
TK9926 Posted September 11, 2023 Author Report Posted September 11, 2023 Thank you! God bless the 501st. Samdtrooper helmet - Done Armor - boots- E-11 Blaster- Holster- Redish Palduin- Photo bucket of previous builds a must. I’ll need to contact and reissue my password. I appreciate all links to Sandtrooper builds, items required. New Garrison: Star Garrison Email sent, waiting reply. Thanks in advance, Former trooper, looking forward to personally thanking each member. Exciting as always! 501st Rocks 1 Quote
MaskedVengeance[Staff] Posted September 11, 2023 Report Posted September 11, 2023 Welcome back! Exciting times indeed! A lot of us get our holsters from Darman (Etsy or his website), and I’d go with his heavier weight leather option. Boots are commonly acquired from Keep Trooping (formerly known as Imperial Boots). Be advised that they take orders in monthly waves. Pauldrons can easily be acquired from Trooperbay or our own Teresa (Geeky Pink), though my orange one is from trooper1 on MEPD. There are direct links to most of these purchase sources at the very bottom of the initial resources post that Glen shared.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote

Sly11[Admin] Posted September 11, 2023 Report Posted September 11, 2023 Welcome back Patrick, clearly its hard to keep a good trooper down, and we are most glad that you are back in the ring for another swing with the 501st. Don't forget to post some photos when your Sandy is complete. Quote
Doggydoc[Staff] Posted September 14, 2023 Report Posted September 14, 2023 Welcome back Patrick Quote
TK9926 Posted September 16, 2023 Author Report Posted September 16, 2023 Thank you all, I appreciate all the support and the great links. I’ll be happy to post my new build progress and while I’m building, feel free to ask questions. I remember all the long days of labor and once completed the joy of saying I did it. Well, we did it. Have a great weekend everyone! ATA I’m getting closer to contacting again. Best regards, Patrick DeVoe Quote

Unfortunately ATA is no longer available, both the owner and his wife contracted Covid and passed. It had been sold to another member but's that's all we know currently. There are other makers out there so it's just a bit of research and looking at higher level approvals to see the details, most EI Centurion threads have the armor makers name in the title. Quote
