Hello from Kansas!

Thanks for welcoming me to BlizzardForce. I'm currently a member of the 501st, ID 41309 I own a TB, TK and a First Order TK. Currently working on a Jawa. Looking to build a Snowtrooper at some point during the winter season next year.

My ultimate goal is to clear my driveway of snow while wearing Snowtrooper Armor.

Still weighing my options for finding an armor maker. So far Troopermaster and Dan Laws are looking pretty good at the moment. I'm open to hearing which armor makers you guys went with. I will be following your build threads and I look forward to trooping with you guys someday.

Hi Alex and welcome to the cold side of the empire!

Good luck with your TS journey :D

I went with a Troopermaster kit.

I'm not deployed yet and am finishing my armor set up, but I just got my DL kit and am very happy with it.

How long was the wait for the kit?

I had a Hero bucket made by TM, it was a masterpiece! Troopermaster for the win!

How long do you anticipate the wait being?

I had really good timing, as he had one ready to go, so I got mine in under a week. I've heard it typically takes him a week or so to make and ships quickly. He's on Facebook if you want to contact him.

Of course, you need to consider body size for any armour.
DL's and MC's kits have the largest chestplates of any makers.

That's the reason I swapped my MC for TM.

Check out this thread for comparisons...

I'm glad you posted that, that confirms that I will fit TM the best.
