I had a dream of receiving the 501st's approval before SWCJ2025, but it didn't come true. However, even if it's a slow pace, I'm happy that I feel like the completion of my armor is getting better by completing the work steadily.

JB weld adhesives and putties are also sold in my country. I expect that there will be many modifications to the armor build, not just this upper arm part, but in various other places. To do this, I feel that more information on adhesives and putties is needed. Thank you for your valuable information. I also appreciate you informing me of the activity schedule of each detachment, including the 501st, regarding SWCJ2025.

Very nice work. Your armor is looking great!

I use something similar to this call JB weld, can be sanded and painted. There is a thread for those going to celebration but unfortunately it is in the 501st member area of the forum so you won't be able to access it. We do have a couple of FISD staff who will also be attending. There are group photos mainly on the Sunday both FISD and the 501st photos will be taken. RL 11.30am FISD 1.30pm 501st at 2pm JRS 2.30pm Spec Ops 3pm The group photo area is outside (location A), so no ticket/badge is required. However, if you are wearing a costume, it is likely that the changing room is inside the venue, so you will need a ticket/badge to get in and re-entry.

Excellent work!

Thanks for the thread bump Tino!! Seeing my bin back in the fresh and unabused state gave me a lot of smiles. It's since trooped around 140 times, 127 of which counted as official events. The bin has flown across the country and back as checked luggage, it sat in my truck for a trip to California and back, and it's put up with a lot of abuse over the years. I thought I'd show how it looks now. That's some miles. Look at the tires. There isn't much left on the tread. I ordered a bucket bag from Wally's Creations on Facebook. I wanted it to match the bin as something my TK might have bought at whatever galactic truck stop or surplus depot would sell the armor bin. Aurebesh only, white on black, with room for patches. I weathered it after receiving it because the clean white perfection didn't look correct to my eyes. I added a few attachment points to my bin. The eye hook lets me clip the bucket bag on easily. There's 4 corner eyelets that let me strap my HWT pack to the top of the bin for transport. And that... sorta works. I usually just have it on my back (in street clothes) while I roll the bin behind me to and from an event. I lost huge patches of white when flying with the bin and a few stickers. I gave it patch repairs to re-white the black plastic. It was then allowed to re-chip and re-weather on its own. The white overspray on some of the stickers really gives it a battle worn look. Everything I do to this thing just makes it look better and more authentic. And it's protected my armor very well.
