Howdy from Houston, TX

Hi guys

Already got a couple other costumes already, and dual citizenship with the 501st and Rebel Legion. My ESB Vader build has been on hold while I'm on indefinite hold for a couple hard-to-find parts. A friend posted up a spare DL snowtrooper kit in our squad, so I jumped on it. Should be a pretty straight-forward build in the mean time. I'm sure I'll probably will do more reading than posting here, but wanted to say thanks to the admins for activating me (and I'm not a bot). :D

Thanks!

I was looking at your build thread, its really the best one I've come across so far. Thanks for documenting the process and being so thorough. I know how much work it is to make sure and take pics along the way, I usually do the same with all of my builds.

You're welcome and thank you also!

It's always my pleasure when my build thread is helpful. It was really a lot of work, but also a lot fun ;)

Welcome Brandon
We have a few dual citizens here....Xwing/Snowies (4 I know of personally - including me :wink: ). Some of us even hold Command Positions but don't tell anyone :P :-)

Welcome to the coolest detachment in the 501st!

Captain Wordo has a fantastic build thread, many of us use it and he's a great support for the snowie build, we really appreciate him here!

Lots of helpful troopers here with Laws kits completed and in progress so you'll get lots of help. If we can assist in anyway, do ask!

MTFBWY......Stay on Target...and stay frosty! :shock:

30 days from opening the UPS box to approval, I consider that pretty good!

Did a couple of hospital troops the other day:

I like your cowl on the Lid. Need to get some of that stuff for mine.
