Looking forward to seeing that!! Hopefully, things change in the next few months, and we can go. We shall see....

Can't afford the Gistang Bucket just yet, but we debuted my wife's armor at Alamo City ComiCon last weekend and it was a hit!! It was essentially a test run, and while a lot of folks in our Squad knew she had it, we were keeping the build under wraps. We followed the others that were posted, and that was very helpful, and I'm sure she'll still round up all the pictures we took during the build into a thread of her own. But here's a few pics from the Con (where we even debuted some Wookies!! Meru Meru and Salporin): - Berbs

Posted to you tube a bit late but this was posted on FB as our response when Star Garrison was challenged by Bast Alpha Garrison the day before JJ's challenge went out. (No bucket on me.. So it all went straight into the Armor!!) - Berbs

I feel like the bottom of the back needs to be trimmed a little. In other words where the ABS starts to curve back out and away from the bucket. Not sure if it's necessary... That may just be me. - Berbs

Looking Great! - Berbs

Right on!!! I really love the MTK Bucket... It's a great match for my AM/NE Armor!! - Berbs

Yeah, I know!! Considering it's basically DONE!! The only thing I THINK I need to apply for EIB and Centurion is an Accurate Blaster! (And then to address whatever I have incorrect - hopefully not a whole lot of things!!) - Berbs

Here's what he wrote on Facebook earlier this month: I love my MTK Bucket!! It goes perfectly with my AM/NE/AM2.0 Armor!! - Berbs

Nice! It's seems so "narrow", but I'm guessing that's the last two pics, and the lack of ears, which I'm guessing will still be added separately? Cannot wait for the end result!! - Berbs

PM Sent!

Psst!!! Hey! What's the word on the CRL?!? Who's reviewing it? Any feedback as yet?? Anxiously awaiting... - Berbs

I suppose the removal of the Adam's Apple bit would work too. - Berbs

I figure Kev's forthcoming bucket would suffice for a Level 3 "Centurion" certification, but perhaps any TK bucket would work for the Level 1 basic approval? - Berbs

double post

Nice!!!

Also, Here's the connectors they used for the TD... More pics here!! (Kev linked to these in the Interest Thread) - Berbs

Hey, Jason! Where did y'all end up finding the compression top? Thanks! - Berbs

These pics will be extremely helpful!! - Berbs

Hey, Kev!! Will you be posting a Tutorial/Build Thread here at the FISD for us all to follow? - Berbs

Unfortunately we won't be there with a fan table. Some of our guys might show up, and some of those in costume, but after Wizard World's policy change, we reached out but haven't heard anything except that we could pay for a fan table. Since we don't make any money at the shows and instead do what we can to use that opportunity to raise funds for Charities in Central Texas, we decided not to attend. You'll get access to the Star Garrison boards once you have your TK-ID!! I was in the same boat at one time! Till then, I'm happy to get you in touch with more folks in the Central Texas Squad!! Sending a PM! Thanks! Hope to troop with you soon!! - Berban

Supercool!!!

Oh, Yeah!! Renee digs the shirt!! She's back is school for a second degree and this is the last week of the summer session for her, so we haven't had a chance to start anything, but it'll be soon enough!! And yeah, Kev mentioned he'll be working on the Bucket soon enough. I'm hoping that a regular TK Lid would suffice for basic approval, with another mold to match the artwork that would work for a higher level of approval. So... here's that T-shirt!! - Berbs ======

--------- It's here!! It was very difficult to keep it a secret from Renee, but I succeeded, and she was home when the UPS truck pulled up and she's extremely excited!! She's the love of my life, and like I said earlier: - Berbs

Lol! Just realized the difference between UK and US sizing... They have a chart... I'll show my wife both boots and let her make the final call... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Awesome! That's gonna help a TON Kev!! Only bad thing is the boots ONLY go to a size 8... And my wife is a 8.5/9. DOH!!!! - Berbs
