Always a pleasure to see a ROTJ build. Post up some more pics.

These are the kind I use. I got mine from being in the military, but they are easy to come by & look about identical to what we saw on screen. -----------

Lol! Right. Nobody wants to see that!

Yeah, I would love to see more stuff available from ROTJ.

Being deployed right now, the only visible difference in service branches that I see is that we eat at different tables in the dining facility & have different colored PT gear. But really, if you want to learn about the differences in services & specific jobs, have a specific job or skill in mind (something you are interested in) before you visit a recruiter. Nothing against recruiters, but its their job is to fill positions where they need recruits, so thats their angle when you walk in their office. If they put everybody where they wanted to work, there would thousands of personnelists, pilots, and medics, and nobody left to guard gates, cook meals, or fix toilets, but I disgress. Just ask yourself "what would I not get sick of doing for x # of years that wouldn't make me hate the decision to join up? What job offers bonuses? Who deploys to where & for how long? Do I get to go to school? Could I raise a family & do this?". Also, don't discount the Army or Marines. The grass isn't always greener on one side of the fence or the other. Good luck in whichever one you choose. They're all winners.

It's always so interesting to hear info like this straight from the horse's mouth! Very cool!

And the show goes on...

Looks like I actually WILL get to be there! I'll be bustin out a few costumes, but I totally plan to sport my TK, at least for a little while.

I dig my Hasbro blaster. It's great at cons because its light and doesn't hurt people as bad as a resin one would if you accidentally bonk somebody in the head who doesn't get our limited vision. lol... Sucks about gun laws in some countries. I'm glad the authorities are fairly "pro-blaster" where I troop.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned by armor.

LOL. I want one of those....

Rubies love? Interesting...Go for it man!

I dig the white......but choose the one YOU like better And, yeah, like the others have said....some people out there are "shape-blind". They see black armor & think Darth Vader. lol...

They are still shipping. Shouldn't be too hard to find. Heck, I'm even seeing DH-17s ship again! Whoo-hoo!

Since the written language of the Empire is Aurebesh, It's really not clear that their K is the same as a K in the English language. Numbers seem to be the same, but letters? It could be anything. I always thought that TK could just be a certain batch of troopers, or a certain kind of small group, maybe pertaining to the perticular battalion that trooper is in. There would have to possibly be at least several hundred millions of stormtroopers by ANH, so just TK and 4 numbers after that couldn't possibly name them all. Maybe it's like the last 4 of a social. Trooper Korps IS pretty cool though.

Anybody know where that bottom scope came from that's on the ALIEN gun? It's clearly the same one used for The DH-17, and Scout Blaster.

E6000 holds snap plates on very well. I don't know about everybody, but yeah, I think I walk kinda funny too. I just take shorter steps. If normal walking is very awkward, you might just need to lower your thighs a little bit.

I got my kit from tk560.com. I believe he still makes them, and at a good price. I was pleased with mine. Tambo also makes them.

Yep. Great stuff! He makes excellent Scout gloves too!

Nice! Great find! It might look odd, but perhaps you can also use this suit to cast a set of armor for short troopers. Just a thought.

Nice collection!

It is sad that someone might be offended by someone else trying to spread a little cheer or happiness, which is all that's really meant by that.

Thanks, brother!

CA glue is awesome if you are in a hurry and never want whatever you are gluing to come off again. Which is mostly me gluing anything. Unfortuetly, it is hard to come by where I live. I have to stock up when I go out of town. E6000 is good if you think you might make a mistake with something and have to fix it.

Can you just take away the IBP/crappy blue&white option all together? I am no computer expert, but every time I have to log back in for no reason (I never logged out), or switch to my Iphone, the theme changes back to the crappy plain version which I hate. I would love to see something like MEPD has! Don't feel bad though, cause BSN is the absolute worst since all the changes took place.
