Greetings from Hoth
Posted: Fri Dec 29, 2017 3:43 pm
It’s -27F outside my door right now here in Fairbanks, Alaska so I tend to refer to this place as Hoth.
I’ve been in the 501st since 2002 as a scout, but after one troop at -40F in scout I decided I needed winter trooping gear.
I’ve already got the “hard parts” snow trooper armor from WTF I’m hoping to get started on this weekend. I’ve got the boots. Other than looking for help on figuring out the strapping I think I’ll mostly be looking for soft part patterns or soft parts for sale. And details. All the details.
Of note I’m one of three in my immediate area working on snowie; two of us have WTF and the other kit came from a vendor that took like 16 months from order time which is why I went a different route.
That’s me in a nutshell. Oh, and I have a nearly complete MSE and just started a R2 unit. So many projects. So little time.
