TK-0393 Requesting ANH Stunt Centurion [92] [AP]
magicmemories2 replied to Jancelot's topic in Request Centurion Status
Looking good so far, nice build. just one little helpfull hint that will make your blaster look even more realistic, sand off all the mold lines that show such as (rear "D" ring area. this has nothing to do with you passing, it`s the little detals that make you stand out. just my two cents. Good luck. -
TK-10029 Requesting ANH Stunt Centurion Status [RS][80]
magicmemories2 replied to gaspi's topic in Request Centurion Status
I think what is showing as a bump or two, is under the decal, the bucket it self. is a little rough from the mold ,it`s showing in other photos as well. ( just my two cents) looks like a nice build, good luck trooper. -
Are you ever too old to Troop?
magicmemories2 replied to DroidHunter's topic in Getting Started - Read this First!
Boy doin`t I feel old ! "not", i have read all the posts & I agree that you are as old as you feel. That being said I have been into costuming for the better part of my life, playing " Pirates", "mummys," "crash dummys", even "the Grinch" & "lord Vader", this all was for the enjoyment of friends,relitives, schools, car shows, & local entertainment parks. I was in the work force for over 40 years. Me & my family have been vacationing & going to the Disney Parks since the Magic Kingdom opened in 1971, then moved to FL. in late 1981, & we saw the openings of " EPCOT", then at that time "MGM Studios" you no it as "Hollywood Studios" where my son & i first saw "Star Wars Weekend" & got hooked. he was only a boy at that time, but now he is a man & we are proud members of the 501st. Legon, Makaze Squad. Our first troop as members was Staw Wars Celebration VI, then we have trooped over twenty events since. I have had the best time, & have made so many freinds from all over the world. I will keep doing troops until i can`t suit up. (TK) & hope to see you this year at SWW 2013.. if you haven`t guessed yet my age is 67 years young and going strong.. What keeps me going is the great freindships i have made within the Legon.. All I can say is Thank You for letting me be a part of this experince. -

Disney's Very Merry Christmas Parade
magicmemories2 replied to flashpoint0214's topic in Field Training Exercises
The facts are we do the troop at these events because we love doing them, as i`m sure you do yours.. with that said, we do get compensated useually with a pass or two for the park, but 9 out of 10 times these are donated too ones who can`t afford the admission price. We win ether way. -

Congratulations on your choice of ATA armor, my son & I have built these kits & have been pleased with the quality, just take your time check twice & cut once. you`se the threads as your guide ask questions. see if there may be any "armor party`s " in your area they can help with the strapping, snap placement, & other short cuts that will help you in your build. Good luck.
