  1. Shawn is a Canadian Garrison member who makes and sells environmental audio kits.He was the first I know to offer a completed and functioning kit and has been doing so for  over two years. Others have come in to sell virtually identical setups, but I prefer to help a local member when possible. The bucket you see in his first post is mine. I also have his kit in my Tusken Raider, Tie Pilot and soon in my TFA TK. 

    IF you want to deal in Canadian Dollars, bulk or group rates, try reaching out to him via PM to discuss. Tell him that jerk Clamps sent ya.

  2. My wife is obsessed with watching these home remodel shows. One of the ones she was binge watching this weekend is called Love It or List It. They don't really say where they are but its easy to tell that the majority of the episodes are based in Canada. One of the things we were shocked to find out that most of the homes they were looking at were all over a million dollars Canadian. Is that the average cost of a house in Canada? I know that a million in Canada is different than here in the US but I don't think the exchange is that different. The crazy thing is the houses weren't even that big. 

    most of the time these shows feature houses in Toronto or Vancouver. These are the two most expensive cities to buy a house. To live in a decent neighbourhood and have anything other than a shoebox, you are gonna easily pay $1M to be downtown. I live at the top of the main subway line in Toronto and I can tell you that houses in my area sell for $800+, generally are from the 50s-60s and need at least $100K of rework to modernize and update. They so very often get purchased,  torn down and new ones built on top, turning them into $1.5M+ houses. The market is just ridiculous.  

  3. Hello FISD and 501st, I'd like to take a bit of your time and ask any interested members from Southern Ontario I'd you'd be interested in attending a Terry Fox pep rally at my school next October. I was really hoping to show the school community that it's not just them that's been touched by cancer, I'll message anyone interested.

     

    submit the request through the proper legion channels to get troopers in our area to consider/attend. Be sure the request is vetted with school administrators and all associated channels before hand as well. Ideally the school should make the request to avoid surprises (which is no fun to show up and no one in charge is expecting you)

    I've seen red reflective tape work well for the three marks on the side of the blaster, which would (if I remember correctly) normally light up by LED or other internal illuminating source. As mentioned, perhaps requiring the electronics for this optional accessory would be reserved to the higher (highest?) levels of approval? 

     

    Thanks again for all the many efforts!

    here is the reflector tape in action that Krista is talking about on our Rubies hack blasters we threw together in time for Fan Expo.

  5. Should you mention that for L2 approval, there should be a tac-light under the barrell, and there should be a button to active the tac-light on the front left of the blaster?

     

    For the pistol, for L2+ disallow the converted toy?

     

    by putting these at L2, what requirements will be left for L3? I had hoped that we would have things be a bit more in line with the OT EIB and Centurion requirements for weapons (and costume). Having operational Tac light (or other lights) will rule out a lot of folks that would otherwise be able to achieve L2/EIB. I would rather have L2 include having the appearance of the Tac Light and have L3 operational or something like that. 

     

    If we push to have every detail at the lower levels of the CRL, then there is no need for writing L2 or L3 requirements for this kit -  and then it becomes screen replication vs levels of accuracy.

  6. Which chest is that ? And did you purchase it recently, or recycling a used one?

     

    I'm having a hell of a time finding the locking lid one. At least in the 24 gallon size.

    50G Stanley. New purchased about 4 months back when Home Depot had a clearance at one store. We bought all 5 they had left.

     

    I am hearing locally there may be a retailer with a few for like CA$80 which is like 50cents US.
