  1. The brilliant minds at Lucasfilm and the ILMxLAB have been working very hard recently to find new ways to integrate virtual reality into various aspects of the Star Wars saga. One of the newest implementations of VR, which comes to us courtesy of People magazine, takes us behind the scenes of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story in an unbelievable way. The latest issue of People, which is available on newsstands now, features an assortment of new material from Rogue One, and in addition, includes a pair of virtual reality goggles inside the magazine. The goggles can be utilized along with a brand new 360° behind the scenes video that was released by People. The video virtually puts you on the set of Rogue One at Pinewood Studios in London alongside director Gareth Edwards who provides insight into what you see. The over three-minute long feature allows you to watch as several scenes are filmed with various actors on the set for the planet Jedha. You can view the 360° video in normal fashion Click here, or you can grab a pair of VR goggles in the newest issue of People and download the LIFE VR app to enjoy the video in all it's virtual reality glory!

  2. Love my ATA, no issues after 3 years of hard trooping, you can't go wrong
  3. Shoretroper CRL is Live http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:ST_shoretrooper"]http://databank.501s...ST_shoretrooper
  4. You could try soaking in a bath of warm salty water. I have also heard some have had success freezing the parts then the CA glue will crack off when pressure applied. Most solvents will damage the plastic. Other than that it's a case of carefully using a knife or blade and using some pressure.
  5. You can find some good threads on MEPD here are just a couple http://forum.mepd.net/index.php?/topic/7767-dying-canvas-mp40-pouches/&_fromLogin=1 http://forum.mepd.net/index.php?/topic/5913-dying-and-weathering-the-canvas-31-shoulder-pouch/#comment-71323
  6. I don't have my TK handy but here's a pic of my FO TK brace, use a back support for this one and Velcro, I've since upgraded with snaps, will give you an idea of the adjusters.
  7. Depends which kit too, some use different size pipe depending on the end caps I just took an end cap to the hardware store and found pipe to match.
  8. I use a belt with elastic suspenders, has worked well for over 3 years. From the belt I have looped elastic straps with adjusters in case they stretch, then double snaps to the inside top of thighs.
  9. Best wishes to my US brothers and sisters
  10. Good luck with the build, if you need help attaching photos have a look at this thread http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/tutorials/article/48-posting-images-in-threads-2015/
  11. You could use Velcro or even magnets, as long as it can't be seen from outside there wouldn't be any issues.
  12. After making a scratch built one I decided to get one from Peter, I was one of the earliest to order but for some reason others received there's way before me. Took a lot of nagging on FB to finally get the kit, all up took 7 months.<br><br> Don't get me wrong it's a nice kit with great detail, I just don't get why it's so hard for prop makers to supply when they say they will, its not that hard.
  13. Definitely hit up the maker of the armor, most are happy to sell extra pieces
  14. Based on as in looks like, not has to be made from
  15. I must say I didn't find it too difficult, I scratch built both my DLT-19 and T21 mainly from pvc pipe and wood with plans found online. Really it depends how far you want to go with the costume, you can purchase ready made blasters if you can't build yourself.

Wow,the 4 hours went quick.Take out the few mini breaks we had and this troop was a mega photo request.As this event was for children with special needs there were many emotional moments for the kids,parents and us.Today was for me a big part of what we are about. Q was not feeling 100% however once amongst the crowd,well the show must go on.Liz and I were ok as we were a couple of cake and chocolate eaters. Kids rides,stage entertainment,emergency service displays,gift bags,food,drinks,toys all free of charge and there was so much left at the end.Liz scored herself a souvenir fluffy duck,sorry the reindeer were all gone.Q did not miss out either as he received a surprise gift earlier that morning,I'm sure he will put it to good use but please remember to follow the instructions. We called it a day,returned to the carpark and noticed my drivers window open,oops I forgot to close it,all was well.

We met up with our out of town 501st member Amy and after a chat and some merch swapping we changed in preparation for the arrival of the walkers. Perfect timing in walked our wrangler Johnathon revved up for his first troop. Three separate starting times as different length courses with a 10 minute Zumba before it each with our Jawa and Tusken joining in. Only our Jawa continuing to the 2nd and 3rd Zumba dance classes. Many photos taking with walkers and younglings during the morning. We watched the third group of walkers head off and it was time for our Canadian trooper to leave due to other commitments. As the crowds had dwindled we called it a day at 9.30, then time to hit the sausage sizzle. Was a pleasure to meet a fellow 501st member from the other side of the world and we hope you enjoyed your first Aussie troop Amy. Big thank you to Johnathon you did a great job.
