Hello From Colorado

Post by Fader1 »

Hello everyone,
Name: Mike M.

I have been into Star Wars since the Beginning. I have worked as a metal fabricator, custom car builder, welder as hobbies and I work in the communication field I install Cooper and fiber cable in a Data Center. I have talked to a couple of Mountain Garrison 501st members and I have always been interested in doing a kit. I have recently ordered a MonCal TS costume while I wait I have taken the time to gather the soft parts.

Costumes I am interested in :
TS- Snowtrooper Commander
TK- Storm Trooper
TD -Sand trooper
TA- AT AT driver
"Don't Hate the Duster"
TS-971

Welcome Mike!! Glad you found your way to us, you'll have a blast getting a Snowtrooper together!

I am curious, how extensive is your metal work? We might need your skills!

Sorry for the Picture upload lol

Well I can Mig Weld still learning how to Tig weld. I have helped built a few cars for my buddy here in Colorado 49 Merc, 64 Chevy Carry all, a couple of complete customs that started out just as a cowl and I built everything else frame and body. I also did a lot of custom suspension work airbags, and hydraulics.

Very nice work! Can't be a cheap hobby to do regularly, but it's a great and very useful skill to be able to or have the resources to weld at all. Thank you for sharing!
