  1. I have been trooping in RS ABS 1.5mm since 08.2013 and have been very happy with it. There are minor fixes you will have to make dependent upon how much trooping you do. No armor is perfect and will sustain battle/trooping damage in my experience.
  2. Thank you!! Indeed... We do and did! Unless Vader and/or Boba Fett are on duty. Then.... It is like we are invisible.
  3. Members of the Golden Gate Garrison in attendance... Salinas Valley Comic Con was a first of its’ kind event for Salinas. Organizers were not sure how the event would be received, but the event was well attended by locals. There were thick crowds (~2,000 est.), particularly for the first four hours, despite bad weather and competing events, (such as the opening ceremonies of the Olympics.) In addition to the 501st | Golden Gate Garrison, others advertised “draws†for the event included a replica of the Time Machine DeLorean from Back to the Future, book signings by two authors, and numerous comic book vendors.
  4. Great!! I pretty certain you will be happy with your decision, Rob, Simon, and Andrea are great to work with. Congratulations!!
  5. Sweet... Nicely done!! Good luck on your application.... Are ANH Stormtroopers left handed?
  6. Looking good Trooper.... Best of luck on your Centurion application.
  7. I went RS | ABS 1.5mm and have be very happy with the fit, durability, and service. Best of luck on your decision.
  8. Once you cut the notch/curve for your nose you can place a small piece of clear vinyl tube along the edge. Thus, making it much like an nose pad on a pare of glasses. You will need to measure and cut the vinyl tubing lengthwise.

  12. I recently had an experience I wanted to share and was unsure how relevant it was. I am hopeful this is the correct forum... If not please move. Just a few weeks ago I arrived at a troop and opened my armor bin and found a coating of black dust covering the majority of the armor. I had test fit the armor the evening before and packed up just as I had for a number of troops in the past. In my bin I regularly utilized a few of the 501st reusable grocery bags for miscellaneous items. It seems that evening and/or the drive to the troop the armor has developed a static charge and attracted the material from the bags. I went from TK to TD without even trying or authorizing the change. It appeared that the armor had developed black mold in only a few hours from test fit the evening before to troop the next afternoon. As you can imagine I was panic stricken. I attempted to dust off the black material to no avail. Ugh! The electrostatic/static charge kept the black material attached to the armor and I was simply moving it around. Keep in mind this was both on the exterior of the armor as well as in the interior. I also attempted a wet tee shirt this attempt failed as well. Luckily the trooper I was with had Novus (2) in his bin which took the black dust off and polished the armor at the same time. Quickly as possible I was able to remove the majority of the dust with the time that I had and successfully completed the troop. That evening I spent a number of hours removing the dust from the armor with Novus (2) and was fortunate enough to save the armor. Lesson learned... I no longer use the bags in my armor bin and I would strongly suggest that others do not as well.
