  1. Hey Scott, Michele and I got ours in yesterday! They look great. Now to figure out were to put them Thanks man. Looking forward to meeting you at SWW. I'll be the TK, Bobby
  2. Hey guys, Here is the action shot. Well, I took 3. I like the first and second one the best, but wasn't sure which one you would rather have. Thanks, Bobby
  3. We are trooping the Symphony this weekend. I will get a good pic of her then and post it Sunday.
  4. WOW! Stormtroopers are cranky. Now I know where the frown on the helmet came from.
  5. I agree with the 2 men above. Back in the 90's I had a full latex Batman costume from the 3rd movie. Going to the hospital in that was the greatest joy. These are the events you never forget...and more importantly, neither do the kids. I stayed in contact with a couple of the kids via cards for years. One of the boys lost his battle with cancer, but the other one was doing well the last I heard. This is what it's all about. The amazing thing is, your giving back, but it's not like paying taxes or giving charities money. You giving something freely while enjoy doing it, so it doesn't seem like it cost you a thing.
  6. That will be a cool birthday present for her, (It's tomorrow). Thanks
  7. Alright, this should wrap it up. What do you think? I even got the fold back on the chest and back plate! Before After
  8. A Men, brother. She is a reflection of me. I always want to help her look her best. I got the bells trimmed up and I reshaped the left thigh. I still need to reshape the right thigh. Hopefully today.
  9. YES, where is that thread! I already told her I would find a way to get them rolled again. Thanks for the help! Please post it for me or give me an idea what it is and where to get one.
  10. Yeah, I already trimmed a 1 & 1/2" off the bells. Think I'll go another 3/4" off the bottom. What about the rest of the bells dimensions?
  11. Alright, I did some work on her armor today. What do you think? I friend of mine is coming over this weekend and we're going to see if we can reshape the thighs a little more. I did a little reshaping already, as you should be able to tell, but they can use a little more.
  12. She's a runner and has big thighs. I can't decrease the circumference any more. If you are reffering to the way they hang at the knees, I need to have them shaped some how. They are oval shaped at the knee and the long part of the oval is in the front and back. If I could get them reshaped to a circle or close, they would look fine. When I reshape them buy pushing them in the right shape while she is wearing them, they look great. Any suggestions? In regards to the chest: I have trimmed the top, but have been reluctant to trim the bottom because we will lose the roll under shape of the bottom of the chest. So you guys think I should go for it and cut the bottom? You said I will be swapping out the chest and belt. Why, and to what maker? Thanks for all your input. We knew that it would be challenging to get a TK on her and to look great, but we're up to the task. It's important that we get to do events together, side by side and not get separated because of character class. At some point, we still plan on building a RC, Darman, and Jedi, Etain. Or a Biker Scout and Mara Jade. Keep the advice coming and I'll keep you posted on the progress.
  13. Thanks guys! Thanks for the words of incoragement and also for all the great threads that are on this site that helped me out! Do yo need an address to send my decals to? On a side note: I have worked on 4 sets of TK so far,so I know my cousin will be requesting his Elite soon, (waiting on a helmet),, My wife just needs one pic, the butt plate split, and my brother may apply soon too. Again, thanks, Bobby
  14. That's great news. Hope he put me on the list!
  15. Here is a pic Of Kahlers, mine is the same way, minus the suspenders. I used plastic wielder on my kit.
  16. Hi everyone, I wanted to see how close I am to elite status. Here are the pics. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Bobby
  17. I built my armor to Elite Standards per the list. I think it's ready to have an inspection to see what I would need to do to it. Where do I go from here? Thanks
  18. Request 501st access please. TK9356. http://www.501st.com/members/displaymember...cfm?userID=9019 Thanks, Bobby
  19. I think that's very cool! Kids need to have their imaginations sparked. My son can't wait for us to get started on his Jawa costume.
  20. Can you send me some info on them? The Rt is not available right now and he has a list of people waiting already.
