Though I'm way late to another party, thanks for the 501st profile info Mark.

Don't BREATH! Looks awesome

lol I agree

Actually that's what I thought you meant when you mentioned screw, as in machine screws, AKA bolts. Think that's confusing, at my work anything that holds something else together, be it threaded or not is called a fastener

You're welcome, glad I could help.

In addition, the GGG is having armor build party on the 21st in Gilroy, if you're interested, but you'll need to be registered first. Not exactly sure if you have to be a member to go, I'll check, if you're interested.

You need to be registered so when you're ready to submit your armor that's were you'll submit it. You'll have to submit your armor to a garrison who with then submit it to the 501st. http://www.501st.com/databank/Membership:JoinUs I've got my costume, now what? Once you have your costume finished, you need to prepare your photos and submit your application. Preparing your photographs Your local Garrison Membership Liaison (GML) will need to verify your qualifications and will will ask for pictures of you in your costume for validation. See the 501st Legion unit listings to identify your local GML. The following tips will help make sure that you get the right photos to the GML on your first try: Only submit pictures of yourself alone against a plain background (no convention photos, please). We will need photos with your helmet/mask on and off (if applicable). You must include full-length views of your costumefrom the front, back and both sides. Be sure to take your photos with adequate lighting and at a high-resolution to help us inspect the details. Do not wear any non-canon accessories or add ons, including jewellery, glasses, earrings, (unit patches, extra weapons, pauldrons when not part of the canon costume etc...) If you include any weapons such as a blaster or lightsaber, please ensure that they conform to the weapons policy. Submitting your application Once your GML confirms that your suit is complete and valid for membership, fill out the online application. When your application is approved, you will receive confirmation via e-mail. Your Legion ID will be assigned and your record marked as "ACTIVE" in the 501st Legion member database. Please note that the 501st is an all-volunteer organization and the application may take several weeks to review. If for some reason you are not validated for membership, your local GML will work with you and provide recommendations and resources that can assist you in modifying your costume to meet Legion requirements.

Mark no need for apologies, we're all work in progress here, every one of us. We're here to help. Keep up the good work

Are you registered with the GGG? If not go here >> http://www.goldengategarrison.com/phpBB3/ucp.php?mode=register Get registered and become a member. Access the forums, specifically "The Barracks" for Garrison info.

BTW are you going to the meeting this Saturday in Santa Clara?

Good luck!

Noted!

I don't believe I said t was optional. Correct me if I'm wrong but unless it is an official troop where it IS required, you don't always have to wear it. I've talked with plenty of troopers that wear their packs for a bit then take them off for a duration.

Hans he sells the kits here >> http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/15118-hwt-backpack-v4-by-quartermaster/?view=getnewpost

Unfortunately it's required, especially for the application.

Bottom line under the ears use whatever you want rivets, screws, etc, something permenant to semi permenant. If you plan on turning into a TD later than definitely use screws. Outside of ears use regulation size screw for all 3 areas. Terrell (ATA) usually provides enough to install the ears. If not you can buy more through him or trooperbay.

Here's a sample

Well unfortunately your pack probably differs from mine, have any pics?

Hey Tim, if you're up for it create a video or audio clip and post or link it here so we can get a better idea of what you've got your hands on, not everyone understands "white noise within the frequency range 400-5000Hz". Just a thought. Keep up the good work

I'm about to submit my HWT EIB, I'll have to keep an eye on this post. HWT swag of some sort would be cool unfortunately there's too few of us Charles, that may be prob, no impossible.

I don't remember having that issue for some reason. Hang on a sec Tim Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong

First off if you haven't done so already submit a application with the 501st >> http://www.501st.com/databank/Membership:JoinUs Then if you haven't already registered with the GGG go here >> http://www.goldengategarrison.com/phpBB3/ucp.php?mode=register

Just making sure we are getting accurate equipment

But you're good my friend. I have complete faith in you. You shown me what you can do. You can do it! BTW nobody said it has to be done tomorrow, just sometime down the road. Sooner than later is always cool.

Adam Toy (toybiz) may have a solution for the headset setup, he seems to have a good grasp in that area. I'm surprised he hasn't chimed in on this thread already.
