Looks good to me.

If these are the viewers used by the resistence, based on an old camera, it likely has the imp cog because they are old imp surplus, not recently stolen from the FO.

Magnets covered in painters tape or wrapped in cloth. Clamps for the end. And use an inner strip if you have spare material so it doesnt peel away as you flex.
And dont overtrim. You will end up with a bucket thats correct, then teeny skinny arms and legs that look out of place. You want comfort, airflow, and consistent sizing.

Welder shield is correct. Mines from home depot or princess auto, as back up. Ata supplies it.
When painting using stencils, paint a layer or two of white first and let dry. Then, paint the blue. If using humbrol, it needs. To. Be. Mixed. Crazy. Lots. Well. When you think its stirred enough, stir it more. Then more. Then a bit more. Then paint. I use chopsticks or wooden stir sticks.

Hi guys,
I stumbled upon this auction - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Star-Wars-E-11-Blaster-Stormtrooper-Cosplay-Prop/263458864277?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649Do you guys know if this would pass basic inspection for the 501st, or at least require minor work to pass inspection? It measures 44cm in length.
blasters are not required for basic approval. Youd be better off buying a hasbro version if you can find it and painting it. or a resin version.

Ovarian cancer walk of hope.
So, my mom died 4 years ago from Ovarian Cancer. I trooped an Ovarian Cancer event 10 hours later, with a dozen other members who came out to support us, and make sure i didnt melt down.
There are three or 4 every year, always this time of year, and its always a good thing im wearing a bucket at them.
This year was at a local park my parents both loved, you can see the long line of people walking. They passed us at the start, our hands got numb from the high fives we were given, hugs were received from survivors and supporters, the organizer asked for me by name, and it was still a good thing i was wearing a bucket.
According to the Charity Facebook group they raised 85 000 dollars in Ottawa, and 1.78 Million across Canada. In perspective: Canada is 32ish million people, 2 800 women are diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer each year (an sadly only in mid-advanced to advanced stages due to difficulty in detection), and only 2.1 % of funds donated to Cancer are directed to Ovarian Cancer research.

How do the group rates work? Do you have to have roomates lined up before the rooms are available?
You are booking a room. Group only means your room will be in the same area as others in the same group. With the increase threefold in prices that week i doubt it presents a savings, just location.

Just testing to see if I can upload images...
you can, but you will run out of space fast. use a third party like dropbox, or google, and just link them here.

-novus 1. then 3. then 2. then 1 again. always in that order. works the best.
-jewellers rouge CAREFULLY.
-mcguires auto polish?
you need something abrasive.but controllable, like a fingers worth like using shoe polish. or a dremel polishing wheel with polish.
wear PPG with spinning wheels.

I'm still waiting for my Anovos refund as well. I should put bets on which one I get first - Anovos refund or AP armor. The odds are starting to favour the armor.
we will never tell you the odds.
-
are you the correct size for an anovos kit? eg five foot 8 to 6 foot 1, mesomorph in shape? if so then any of the vendors in the Getting Started Thread should have suitable armor. ATA is my pick, but you will still wait 10 months. AP in canada is quick. WTF has good reviews.
Next: are you honestly going to troop 2x a month? or 5 times a year?
if the former, get another kit. if the latter, just wait it out for anovos.
A question from one Military Vet to Another........

It can. New friends, the challenge of new venues and helping each other out, the joy of collecting high fives and fist bumps and hugs, the after troop chats and armour parties all help.
