  2. Were do you work at / work dress code?

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    network engineer for a Department store Chain.

     

    Most days I wear whatever I woke up in.

     

    While this may sound nice... It really means that after working most of the night I am waking up in time to join a few dozen conference calls from home then starting preparations for that nights work.

     

    that being said, when I do go into the office I sometimes avoid the business casual dress code in hopes someone will stop and reprimand me so i can explode in a frenzy of cursing and overworked frustration venting. Alas, everyone avoids eye contact with me and I go about my day unmolested in jeans and a tee.

     

    sigh

    i got devcon epoxy. it says super strength 1250 psi for concrete, glass, metal. plastic, and rubber. 60 seconds working time 5 min handling time. for my forearm peices i lightly sanded each side but they came apart so i fixed the problem areas and it seems to be a little better now but it still comes up in some spots a little. but my biceps are like totally coming apart. i didnt sand them hoping to avoid any bad parts like on the arm but it didnt work. i sanded put glue on one side(which i heard you were supposed to do, used these black clams with orange tips on every part. it says 16 piece spring clamp set and it comes in a clear bag. i know ive said allot but any help would be greatly appreciated.

     

    devcon plastic welder is what you want.. it has a 3500 psi and dries to a cream color.

     

    I bought the 1250 psi stuff by accident (dries clear) and had the same problem

  9. Star Wars Weekends

    I'm going the last week of Star Wars weekend, but although I think I will have my armor done by then I'm a little scared to fly it down.

     

    has anyone transported armor lately? I envision me taking off and looking down at a baggage checker driving his little baggage cart off while wearing a full set of my armor :(

     

    Whats an off duty Stormtrooper wear as far as Imp uni? color?

    maybe I will look into getting a uniform made by then to wear.

    Yes, I plan on attending all-con this weekend but I have a work project that I have to get done before Monday and am booked solid at work till Friday, so I will be dropping in for at least one day. I will try and attend during a 501 event to meet as many people as I can :)

     

    According to Fed Ex I will have my armor in on time... but if I am lucky I will have time to unpack it and drool over before this weekend. Imperial Olympics sound fun, look forward to that next year.

     

    I do plan on getting my son his own set of garments as well :) Although I may keep those hidden and pretend he has to use my old tights after (hopefully) quite a few of sweaty events.

    Ty for the welcome :)

     

    I will post some pictures of my armor as I get and as I build it, and more importantly, upgrade parts for screen accuracy. I am starting with the FX and plan to give it to my son when he turns 18 (less then 2 years) as I upgrade to a more screen accurate build.

     

    We are having a blast reading the forums and planning out how to tackle some armor opportunities as they arise.

     

    Again, thanks for the welcome :)

    Hiya

     

    I have just ordered a set of FX armor to get me started. Just wanted to drop in and say hello. :)

    Practicing with my rivet making whilst I wait for the armor to get delivered.

     

    I am from Melissa Texas (DFW area), Married with a 16 year old son and I like short walks in the park.

    Look forward to joining Star garrison once I am in the 501 and an official Trooper.

     

    anyway, look forward to meeting a few of you.

     

    er... not just a few... I'm just saying It would be hard to meet everyone....

     

    Not that I won't try.. just...

     

    bah, forget it.
