  1. Here is my icomm and aker I'm chest piece. 

     

    The magnets are gone after the glue dried on the elastic strap. The aker clips to that. Icomm is Velcro'd on as seen in my hand. I also have an old iPod shuffle(not shown) that velcro'd right next to icomm

  2. Eric, I am seeing this issue as well. When I browse forums, I am not seeing the topics. was just to lazy to complain about  it yesterday. 

     

    Sometimes when i try to open up forums like 501st areas or even ongoing sales projects on tapatalk they open blank there are no threads shown

  3. Martin,

     

    Welcome aboard future trooper! If you'd like to connect with more of your local troopers (Canadian Garrison - Forteresse Imperial) to help you along with your build and to build relationships with your future 2nd family, hit me up via PM and we can discuss. 

     

    Which armour did you order?

  4. Wow Clamps, this looks good!!!

    I need to get something like that!

     

    But hiw did you connect it to your fan?

    if you want to just connect it directly, you can purchase a connector that fits your battery (the RC store where I bought the battery sold me the male connector). Wire that to your fan and it is instant on when you connect the two. OR you can wire in a switch, again pretty straight forward. The complicate step is adding in the three way switch that allows full power or 5V step-down, that took a little finessing and help from a friend with more skill than I have. He gutted a car USB charger for the circuitry and voila 5V option. This way it is not over draining the battery using resistors.

    Can I see what it looks like, if you don't mind?

    Here it is. What you see is the 12v fan. Battery is about 3cell 1000mah 11.4v. It's wired Through a 3 position switch which allows for full battery power, off and a voltage regulator to step it down to 5v for those troops that don't require as much cooling of ventilation.

  6. AP lens material is not thick or dark enough… this is what I replaced with. http://trooperbay.com/dark-green-lens-material/

     

    Mic tips with AP are not very accurate… I recommend they get replaced with either:

     

        Keith's tips are great http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/4369-mic-tips-mic-tips-mic-tips/

     

       Trooperbay sometimes carries good tips (not the "Mike" tips) that come from, I believe, Mark at CFO. 

  7. Hey Mark:  Have you checked in with TK 25267 (chookaboom) yet.  He hails from TO and is in touch with the whole Ontario crew.  Get you hooked up with build parties and everything.

     

    Welcome Aboard

    Here I am….. Greetings Mark, there are certainly lots of troopers in Southern Ontario and more specifically, west of the GTA. If you would like, I can connect you with Canadian Garrison members that are in your general neck of the woods as well as all over Ontario. reach out to me via PM and I can talk you through it. 

  8. In Another Galaxy/Star Wars Weekend

     

    Strong National Museum of Play

     

     

    Rochester, New York

     

     

    November 17-18, 2013

     

     

     

     

     

    We had the honour and privilege of being invited by Garrison Excelsior to join them at the Strong National Museum of Play's "In Another Galaxy/Star Wars Weekend." This event draws a very large crowd over the weekend, bringing in DOUBLE the normal weekend attendance. It was estimated we had about 6,000 visitors to the museum. The Canadian Garrison brought a large contingent of troopers (of all types) as well as a few large props (Death Star backdrop, AT-ST and our Emperor's throne). We could not have been more happy with the hospitality of our brothers and sisters from New York!
