Very nice indeed, congrats on getting your TKID

The 70th Explorers and Midwest Garrison are teaming up to troop the 3d Annual Walk for Wishes at the St Claire Square Mall in Fairview Heights IL (thats about 15 min east of St Louis) We will be a part of the children's Funstop Scavenger Hunt. If any trooper is interested in attending (even is you are not official yet) drop me a line.
As a part of this event we are trying to also do the sponsored walk portion called the Adopt-a-Wish Challenge. The basic gist is trying to raise $5000 to literally sponsor one child's wish. If we are successful the 501st will be named as the sponsor of that wish and we will recieve a framed picture of the child we sponsored. If you are interested in helping out with that endeavor please let me know.

John, I live across the river in Belleville IL. We are trooping a Make-a-Wish event at the St Claire Square Mall in Fairview Hieghts on 7 Mar if you want to attend let me know. Welcome to the Fight!!!! Good job trooper!

I do alot of staring at folks like I know they are up to no good. I then usually bark "move along" or the how long have you had...I like to stand guard at door ways, point at people etc. I always wave at the kids, babies included and usually holster my weapon when interacting with children.
folks also like to see troopers doing things that normal people do because it's comical. One time I push my middle son around in his stroller, alot of folks took photos.

Thanks boss, I'm honored by the award...

Welcome to the Fight!!! I'm in Belleville IL about 15 min from St Louis how far is Wentzville?
-
Definitely peeked my interest now I have to go check...
-
Merry Christmas!!!!
-
Congrats Paul...it truly shows your dedication and passion...you are the man!
-
Good work there! Impressive.
The faceplate isnt from MR CE btw.
Cheers
/Naz
I meant an older MR...I have a CE but you are right any MR would of had better symmetry.
-
Wow that looks great...has anyone identified what kind of FX this was??? The top of the head is definitely FX but the vocoder as part of the mold...maybe a cast of an MR or Rubies for the face plate?
-
Definitely agree with the above statements...I was fortunate to get a good pull of an FX but I paid an arm and a leg when I could have gotten something better cheaper...pass the lemonade...with some love and care I think you will learn more about actually working a costume than if you had gotten something you just throw together.

Welcome to the Fight Chris. How bad were the cracks? Could you fix it with bondo?
-
Thought I would share my most recent non TK related work
-
Congrats way to go!!!!
-
Welcome to the Fight..sent you a PM
-
Are you on the Bloodfin boards? Most seem to allow recruits on the forums it's a great way to keep in touch and get to learn the funny particulars about your garrison...for instance in my garrison the mention of squad got a pretty funny conversation going, I finally found out the long drama behind it...anyways if you are not on there get on there! That's an order trooper.

Heard the same thing poor quality not trust worthy. I almost bought my first armor from him. Recommend you get it from someone more reputable...ask you garrison mates for advice.

I knw it's been a while since I last posted. We just moved into our new home after our 4K mile relocation from ITaly to IL. we recieved some 14K pounds of household goods. Now begins the process of unpaking. Since my last troop for the Autism event I focused on making my second costume a Tie Pilot. I successfully completed that and was able to make 2 troops as a TI. I opted for the TI for those 2 troops since my TK was in a crate on a boat on the Atlantic. the crazy thing is now I want to make a third costume especially after watchingClone Wars. my next endeavor is to actually make a from scrath Capt Rex...wellnot exactly from scratch because I'm going to use my TK as a base mold for the clay sculpt masters. I'm not sure how long this will take but it should be challenging. Hopefully it turns out good and maybe someday I will offer my work for others wearing pleasure. Of course the key is when will I actually have time for this project? Anyways just wanted to give everyone an update.

Scott,
I'm so sorry to hear this has happened. I will be praying for you and Melissa. Hang in there.
-
Wow...there does seem to be indication that something is not quite right with this vid...still painful to watch just plain painful
-
That makes alot of sense particularly on the thighs.
-
Just curious why do you want to do invisible shims? That is definately a clone thing because they were CGI creations...good ole TK's have obvious sperations in there armor a la 1970's.
-
Great armor! When you submit the pics for the blaster recommend you hike the belt just a nudge higher so the tail seperation is more clearly seen...again incredible job!
