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.- 5

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.

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)

Months go by and GXO boy posts next to nothing.
And now this.
Seems about right.

a very belated Welcome aboard Angie. I've been away from the boards for a while as I sort through the holiday and Darth Life. Glad to see you over on the Tantive as well.
Good luck with the build! be sure to ask lots of questions on your build here or on the recruit FB page.

Pretty soon you will have to put down the Xbox controller and get to work. Toronto Comicon is an achievable timeline to be approved and ready to roll if the armour arrives before February.- 3

wouldn't this be better served in the for sale' area of the forum as you are promoting the sale of armour?'

ok, soon, this has to be hands down the strangest question ever asked of me and our fellow troopers today... The troop was a fundraiser at a local school. a group of roughly 11 year olds walked by us and asked:
"Did you kill Darth Vader and then Tea Bag him?"
TOTALLY SHOCKED at the words coming out of this young kids mouth. wow.. just wow.

Welcome aboard. I cannot see via Tapatalk where are you located specifically? I wanna be sure we get you connected to the correct Garrison as we have several to chose from depending on your location.

I used straight stitch. Had to tweak out the stitch length and tensions until it became easy. Also a fresh needle in the machine.

500- YES.!!! Congrats trooper!!

Hey mate, suit looks great, do you mind if I ask what boots you went with~?
Boots and gloves came from Imperial Boots. Specific shots of both can be found a couple pages back. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?/topic/32031-Clamps-Goes-All-TFA-and-Stuff/page__view__findpost__p__420132

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.

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.

We've been pretty crazy busy with Fan Expo last weekend and a pre-Force Friday appearance to boot. Once I get some photos to my bucket, I can share a few here that show the "final build" and discuss any of my "issue" areas during approx 12 hours of use.

Welcome East Coast brother and welcome to FISD. Drop me a PM and we can talk about connecting you with other east coast troopers (new and aspiring) that can assist you on your journey to join the Empire!
Until then, read, read and read some more. Take notes, ask questions. Rinse and repeat!

Nothing was "easy" but having two Alpha troopers who had built kits helping me along made all the difference.

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.
