Wow! That newsletter was no joke! Great job everyone and well worth the wait. Loaded with a ton of cool stuff.

SkyGunBros is doing an awesome FT bucket but sadly no armor.

I have the same issue Jeff. I get around it by clicking that button on the top left like gmrhodes said. It is a pain though

If anyone finds someone providing the Flametrooper armor please post it here on our boards. Eagerly waiting for it's creation!

Those snips work great right?

I sit in awe reading this incredible thread! Amazing work and I add myself to the growing crowd of followers.

I'm willing to pretrim if you wish as I'm always home with my boy!

WOW!!! That's weird! I've never heard that question before. *cough cough*

Glad I found this thread! Great work and I'm also glad you've come to us for assistance. This group doesn't miss a thing and we're all looking forward to the final product!!!

Glad you got to come out and troop with us in the TBS!

Last weekend at Fanboy Con in Tampa I finally got to meet a real life Stormtrooper! Julius Leflore, best known for roles as several characters in ROTJ including Skiff Master, Biker Scout, TK, and stunt double for Billy Dee Williams was one of the guests. Even though both Dave Prowse and Jeremy Bulloch were also guests, I was very excited to meet one of our own. He was very nice and told me several "behind the scenes" stories like he was only hired for a week and ended up on set for 3 months. He also said that his TK thighs and shins were made of rubber making it easier for stunts. He was also the stunt guy who fell into the Sarlacc pit and said several people were hurt on that set including him. He didn't like the TK bucket as it wasn't comfortable. Really cool guy and seemed excited that I was there in armor talking to him. It was awesome getting to finally for the first and last time meeting the boss "Lord Vader". He really seemed out of it most of the time but was very kind and funny. Jeremy of course was great as usual although I only saw him during their panel. Fanboy is a killer smaller con that brings a wide range of guests to both Knoxville and Tampa and treats us like VIPs.

Templates saved and printed and will be starting my build soon! Having a squadmate 3D print an E11 for me as well. My son is only 3 but is very excited to move from his TK pajamas to the foam armor. Thanks for the awesome build thread and of course, we will post some pics here!

We still need to plan and schedule that photo shoot at Eric's back yard!

Thanks Tim for asking me to contribute to the "Memoirs" section of the newsletter. It was the best of my 100+ troops and getting to share it makes it even better.

Thanks for marching with us Jim! I think my favorite part of the whole SWW experience is that we get to meet so many members from other parts of the legion. The Florida Garrison is blessed to be the host every year of this incredible troop.

Here are the good ones

Here is a photo of us on the first Saturday's march. A better one is on the way when it gets sent to me.

Joe, have you decided what size cover strips you're gonna use? As for which leg is which, on the ankle the long side should go on the outside if I'm not mistaken. I have an ATA kit though but am pretty sure that's right. Also, for the backs make sure the cover strip is glued on the outside of the calf and velcros to the inside.

Needs to be pinned...great work Joe!

Yeah I heard that too about the next 3 being here and was surprised that they had it in Cali (although it made sense). Please come home Celebration!!!

Oh man! I'm so glad I saw this thread as I to am starting a foam build although it's for my very small 3 yo son. I'll be eagerly watching your progress and will make a thread as well. I could only find 2 build threads so this one helps a lot!

I've been hearing that they weren't happy with Anaheim's smaller size so hopefully that will work in our favor! The Florida Garrison is ready and willing to take on C8!!!

Darman!

It will most likely be here in Orlando, Fl

Check out my squadmates recent Centurion submission as he's almost the same size as you. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/31095-tk-18421-request-anh-stunt-centurion-status-ata162/
