ill_hamstring Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Hi all! I’m Lisa, I’m from Dublin and I’m a relatively new Star Wars fan. I got into it last year over the lockdown as per a friends recommendation. Safe to say I was a fast fan and instantly took a liking to it and all the fan stuff that comes with it! I just placed my order with RSpropmaster for a Tie Pilot suit! I’m so excited and can’t wait for it to arrive. I did have to buy the boots separately since they didn’t have my size - but other than that I just have to get an E11 and an aker amp and I’m all set! Very excited to get to know everyone and just have fun in the forums! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Razor Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Welcome Aboard Lisa. Great choice of costume. Sound like your making great progress. If you want to get a side arm made a lot of members use a site called Breaking the mould. You'll find it on Facebook. A guy called Jimmy runs it. Very good standard of quality and service. And he's bases in Dublin so no customs to deal with. Most of our pilots carry a DL44 If you don't fancy lugging around the E11. For a helmet and armour kit I suggest a DA kit. Great quality and not too difficult to work with. If you need more info please feel free to ask. 2 Quote Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ill_hamstring Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 Ahh thanks for the recommendation for the DL44! I was looking at original stormtrooper for a E11, but I might grab a DL44 that’s easier to carry around. I’ll be sure to send in my costume for approval once it arrives! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you follow us on all our social media & why not reach out to us on FB. We do some zoom calls every now & again & it's a nice way to meet the rest of us mad bunch while troops are on hold. 1 Quote TK/TI/TX/DZ/SL 18170 - Shane Murphy [Dropkick]Galactic Academy Endor Campus501st profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropkick Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Very nice, Lisa. Good luck with your clearance. I see you have bubble lenses in your helmet. What's the vision like? I took mine out after my 1st troop as I could see very little. I replaced them with flat lenses, so I could see a lot better.

I found the vision in my bubble lenses was terrible, so I changed them. It's a personal preference tbh. 2 Quote TK/TI/TX/DZ/SL 18170 - Shane Murphy [Dropkick]Galactic Academy Endor Campus501st profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
