    They are with us, just not in mortal form.

    They speak to us, just not in audible words.

    They live on in us and through us.

    They are free of all pain, illness, age, fear, and sadness.

    They are strengthening our hearts so we can live, enjoy, and appreciate what we have all the more while we are here to enjoy life.

    The last thing they want is to see us sad, to see us squander life's joys.

    Grieve - it's important. Then Live. It's even more important.

    Do all the things that they were afraid to do but wanted to do, the things they admired but felt they couldn't do themselves.

    New and from San Luis Obispo...where to join?

    HA! SLO is like half way between the heart of SCG and GGG... A.G. is kind of in limbo up there.

     

    A.G., if you can make the drive to Ventura on the 14th, PM me. We'll get our hands on you yet! :D

     

    Also, if you haven't already, start a build thread here http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/31-costuming-and-builds-501st/ and post all your photos. I think there is some foreshortening from the camera being so close to your upper body that isn't helping your self-image :D Try a tripod or set the camera closer to your belt-level and have the little guy push the button from there.

    Brand new in North Carolina!

    Hi, Devin, thanks for serving and welcome to the Empire! :D

     

    Question 1: PVC is very shiny, and ABS is very white also, not sure where the "off white" comes from. Trust me, it's all blinding white until years down the road when it starts to yellow. Don't stress it regarding the boots, they should be lightly scuffed anyway. :D

     

    Question 2: RS armor will fit you just fine at your height and build. You get the kit, then you trim it to fit your unique body. So any armor will fit you if you build it right. RS Props will be awesome on you.

     

    Qusetion 3: Once you get the hang of cutting and handling your plastic, the lid is actually not that difficult. I was saving mine to the end but then I jumped onto it about half way through and it was the most fun. I have built two since.

     

    I'm glad you're doing a lot of diligent research and asking smart questions, but don't over-think it! :D Trust yourself! You're a Marine!!! You can do anything!!!

    When i first built my armor I looked for any and every excuse to wear it. I'm a little less inclined nowadays, but I do miss it when the stretch between troops is too long. (Like more than 2 weeks)

     

    P.S. I can sit, but leaning back is scary because I don't want to break the back plate.

  23. Found these boots at Target of all places...

    I think these would be acceptable for basic and EI. Good thing we have lots of boot painting tutorials :)

     

    I don't think I paid $49. for my TK Boots tho... :)
