2024-05-03, Westminster Promenade 24 Star Wars Marathon I love events that are focused around Star Wars. Not just because I like the franchise but because the expectation for the visitors is set for the genre and they are pumped for it and the characters. Not that I don't enjoy surprising and making a lot of other smiles happen, but people are extra-jazzed to meet the characters if they are there for it. [My shoulder bells got messed up in the early pics and no one told me. ]

Update to 23. I should find 2 more event real quick so I can get the 25 badge

Impressive, most impressive!

A clip show but this time in Color or Colour if you prefer.

First May 4th in 14 years I didn't troop, but I celebrated the day in another way Still some work to go, but very happy with the artist and yes, "research is the key"

Have a read through the instructions in the first post as your link is incorrect

Updated.

Hi, Small correction proposed to the first draft, Looking closely at the greaves, the level 2 should read 'The greave is a single piece construction with a seam only present at the rear which overlaps to the OUTSIDE' As per reference pictures below:

Internal view of a TFA Helmet. No edge trim, but this one had a webbing set up and a chin strap to keep it on and in-place

They don't normally have rubber, I'd say this was put on afterwards

Entirely unrelated, but, for the black ring around the neck of the helmet, is paint used or is an actual rubber gasket used? If it's a rubber gasket, where do people typically get them? I have left over trim from my ANH helmet, although, I dont know if this is the same.

This was super helpful. Thank you! I plan on trimming more pieces tonight

I don't have much return edge on my arms, although I do have some on the front of the forearms as they are quite thick on the front https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/gallery/category/32-specific-parts/ No return edges Chest/back/yoke definitely a return edge as you can see in this image No return edge thighs and shins

Nice work guys

Completed my 50th troop today.

The nurses asked if we could help promote Hand Hygiene day, our gloves weren't worn at today's troop to stop cross contamination. Hand sanitizers were at lots of stations throughout the wards.

It has begun! I started with the biceps. as they seemed relatively straight forward Before: After: So, I trimmed as the directions said, and they seem fine, however, I just got a bit concerned about return edges. I know for ANH TK's there's a ton of discussion and reference regarding what is correct. What seems to be the consensus for FO TK's? I also know that the gaskets add a bit of heft. I know the chest and back have some, but is it ok that I trimmed the biceps to the edge? I can attach more photos.

Cool cool. Thanks for the insight, I appreciate it!

I would do a lot to get a copy of thisk.
