Just wondering if there are any Empire City Garrison members on here. I will be applying for 501st acceptance soon, and the ECG would be my garrison. Just thought it would be cool to get to know some of you beforehand the ECG forum is only open to members already in the 501st.

lookin good bro! Im sure your in for 501st, and just a few tweaks and i think your good for elite! Im going to be applying to the same garrison hopefully in the next few weeks, and then applying for elite status as well. I too need to lose a bit to close that side gap, lol i will hopefully be closin that off soon! i sent im my application to the 501st last week but havent heard back from anyone yet. I figured by the time i need to send them pics, i should be done. good luck bro, looks great!

haha i didnt even think of that! ...i was born in 1971 !! but that doesnt explain the paint having the same number! lol

Has anyone noticed that the number of the grey paint for the frown of the ANH trooper helmets,the testors brand, number 1138, is the same number of the cell block they were "transfering chewy from" in ANH? after the officer says "where are you taking this ....thing"..luke says "prisoner transfer from cell block one one three eight" weird lol i guess that makes it easy to remember huh?

Dunno if you have those resin pieces yet, but i came across this on the bay and thought ya might be interested if ya still need em! Hasbro e-11 blaster conversion kit

you are one awesome uncle. I hope my nieces get into it (and they will if i have anything to do with it haha), i will aspire to be as cool an uncle as you are haha! good job bro!

OH! i didnt even think of that! Good idea, i will try that first, if allelse fails, then ill shorten them. i just want to be able to get my bucket on! lol

You are definately right about that, i just wanted to see the pros and cons of each to help me decide. ...still havent made up my mind....lol....but i do like the idea of using the velcro to attach the liner so its not completely permanent.

has anyone had to shorten their forearm pieces? I have FX armor, and mine fit me for the most part, but seem like they would be a bit more comfortable and pinch my inner elbow less if i cut off a bit of the length from the wrist area. maybe like 1 "dents" worth. Is this a bad idea?, should i just leave it alone? i know once i cut it, i cant put it back, so id just like to know if anyone has done this and how the result was. Im also trying to stay as movie accurate as i can (ANH) thanks in advance everyone!

HAHA ill check that out..lol. i suppose i have to try them both out for myself ...

Hm, general consensus seems like foam padding. The only reason i was thinking hard hat liner was to keep air circulating. Im guessing i can still add fans with the foam, so i may give that a try first. Still trying to get my hands on an AP or TM bucket.

Which seem to work out better? Pros n cons? I will hopefully be getting a bucket soon, but am on the fence on whether to pad it or use the hard hat liner. Any input appreciated. thanks guys!

i was just wonderin the same thing

NICE! im glad someone deserving got it! I saw that also, but just didnt have enough cash to grab it. If you sell the helmet i may be interested. Wouldnt be hard to convert to an ANH right? Congrats dude!

how did this work out? i was thinking of doing this once i get a bucket. i was planning on painting the details so i figured id do the cuts, and then paint the details on. not sure if my head will generate as much heat as yours, but i figure more ventilation cant hurt!

That is awesome! i love finding out these tips n tricks BEFORE i get my armor!
