Right on Mike, that's how i feel. Want it or not this is Showbiz. Once you put your suit on your doing a show just standing there. Don't tell me Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca ) Lando and other special guests don't get paid for coming over and just rely on selling photos and autographs. We don't charge for a good show and it should be free for us!

What's life without Mason !

An event coordinator asked us if we'd like to troop at his next event but we'd have to pay to get in and to set up our table . All of the events i've done so far with my Garrison we had all of that for free with a room to change and sometimes a free meal. Some members of my Garrison on a forum said they'll do it anyways but if we start that, all the event organisations are gonna charge us. I see that we are important at those events and the public appreciates us. I charge a lot of money for my circus show at special events but i troop for free as a 501st member and i believe we should have a minimum of things like free entrance and a free space for our table. Come on ! What is your opinion.

should i go to MEPD or someone here done it? Glue or rivets? Ketchup or mustard?

Got it. Is it Matt or Rob?

sEND ME A pm.

Nice job Jason. Yes you should take a sandpaper and trim the eyes a little more. On my AP i didn't like the bump on the right eye so i heated up the bump and flatenned it down a little but many just leave it to be movie accurate.

Yeah man i wear a wig and use e-6000.

You have skills but need to redo that bondo on the ears and just get stickers for $15-$20. Look at www.starwarshelmets.com

Simple. Mine are welded bars along my legs and butt and some have Matrix type leg braces like this: But you need a hole in the ground. I also have this floating faucet in my box:

Hey Mike. Good question. I wanna stop people , make em laugh with recorded funny movie lines, impress them and make em pay. My bike show in the winter is only on stage but there's good money to be made with this statue show in the street like Quebec or Montreal. My step son makes $100 an hour in the summer with a different show where he stands a sprays people with water and farts. I'm not sure if i should use that mask. I'm working on it. I have a floating water faucet where water comes out into a bucket. A remote control tip jar that goes out to people for tips. This is where i got the idea: http://www.lib.umich.edu/files/mblogs/vrc/Johan%20Lorbeer%201.jpg

Working on a new street show what do you think ? I was wondering if i should use my old FX parts and paint them blue or silver along with this mask( chest,ab plate ,shoulders bells and arms). This is the idea:

That's funny Tom. Welder's shield,a dremel,hot glue and a gun is the best thing i've tried. You can't clean foggy acetate when you troop and they always break when someone puts theyr fingers in em.

You need a dremel or a drill !

Nice suit Allan. I'm not EIB yet but from looking at the guidelines and many other EIB photos it seems your blaster is missing the row of holes on the bottom left side. Also if you wanna be a little more accurate your detonator control panel plate should be shorter on the right side (it should'nt be even). The drop boxes seem a little too low. besides that you look great. Good luck. Pat

Beautiful. Carlos is the perfect size to be a trooper!

Too funny again. Too bad its an ugly Rubies suit!

I've seen some for $500 and some at $5000 !

Nice suit. Vern is right about the helmet and the detonator color should be grey not blue. 2 more little details: i don't think there should be a strap holding together the chest and back plates on the side and the strips on the thighs go down too low. Besides that it looks great! Pat

I took mine from bike levers from a bicycle and they look exactly the same.

At our last event i was standing and walking from noon to 4 o'clock and fortunatly my cod was cut and i was the only trooper to be able to sit on a chair at our booth every once in a while. You guys can stand ,i'll sit. I love my cut cod!!!

yes you should be sorry! that's because Luke had to be cool. I guess its cause of the wire scene with Leia. <_<
