Hello everyone!
I am an active 501st member from the Midwest Garrison. Got approved back in May 2023 with my Imperial Security Officer (Non-Saga). After doing a few troops around Chicago, and getting to know my fellow TK's, I decided I would commit to getting my first bucket. I expressed interest to my garrison during a troop that I wanted to do a Death Trooper as we don't have one (that I know of), and me being 6'4", would be a natural fit for it. Luckily, one of our TK's tagged me in a Facebook post from 850 Armorworks that they were selling an already completed set.
After messaging the owner via email to confirm some details (already painted two-tone according to CRL, only worn twice, very close body measurements), we agreed on a price and they will be shipping it to me for delivery prior to Halloween.
Included in the kit is:
-Helmet with NSM monitor, already wired with lights
-Full body armor ,strapping
-XL undersuit (Ordered replacement from Jim Tripon 11/12/23)
-Gloves - Ordered larger replacements from Endor Finders (Ordered 11/7/23- Delivered 11/10/23)
-Size 12/13 boots
-No weapons
Once I receive it, I'll inspect it and reach out to my local garrison to help me do a test fitting and get pictures for approval. I'll share the pictures he sent me when I get home tonight.
Right now, I'm just looking to get basic approval with the modified E-11D blaster. Hoping to get everything ready before our big Chicago convention of C2E2 in April!
