Alrighty.. so plans for moving forward... I have ordered the Audio assist system via Shawn and I'm going to start to draw out a mock up of what I want to do within my bucket so when it arrives I have a game plan. Organizing all the paints and such into different bags and segregating things for bucket with other items that way I just grab the bucket bag and start to work. I also need to start wearing my TK Boots a bit so I get them good and comfy. I might even look at some inserts to give them extra comfort.

wait.. what's Tapatalk? A-A ron.. what are your plans for the inside of your bucket?

Yep.. you still have to buy the I-comm system from the U.S, but at least you can find the other part for a reasonable price. Just make sure you check the sellers list. The average cost should be over a hundred CAD. If it's under.. then the shipping cost will be higher as it would be coming from the States.. then you have to watch for duties.

Pssssstttt Look here at VOICE SYSTEM STUFF (CHECK THE SELLERS LIST FOR CDN)

Yeah.. I'm going to figure a few things out. I'm waiting on our dollar to go up on some things but would really like to locate Canadian Sellers. When it comes to a mic system - I don't plan on talking too much when in my Armor. Laugh. It would be nice but.. meh. What I like the most about Shawn is that he is Canadian and had great reviews from other Canadian Members. We need more Canadian Product being sold in CAD.. the USD kills us every time! In order to have more Canadian Product we have to support those in Canada Selling items.

Thanks Dan.. I was a little disappointed as I wanted the Binders to look so much better. I just could not find magnets that were thin like in the directions for the How to Information. Then the issues with the plastics. The tubing was only sold in massive lengths. So I had to juggle that a bit. All in all it was a load of things thrown together to try to make it work.. I am positive they aren't Canon.. sighs... but they are fun.. Right? Anyway.. Time to shift and focus on other items.. Hopefully I hear from Echo for his fan system. Shawn's audio Assist system should be on the way soon.. not sure what else to gather. I might do the duct tape thing.. I haven't decided. Space is a bit of an issue. Laugh.

Wow A-Aron!! Looks awesome! Great Pictures!

Was great to see someone finish their build recently. I know it's still a little ways off but that just means I can dig around and order items I want for my kit when it gets here...

Sometimes when I'm bored I find old songs and have a little fun with them.. like this: How much is that Droid in the window? The one with the bent ammo rail How much is that Droid in the window? I do hope that Droid's for sale I must take a trip to Endor And leave the ship from the blast door If I have a droid, I won't be lonesome And the Droid will have a good home How much is that Droid in the window? The one with the bent ammo rail How much is that Droid in the window? I do hope that Droid's for sale I read in the paper there are Jedi With light sabers that shine in the dark I need a Droid to protect me And scare them away with one spark I don't want an Ewok or tauntaun I don't want a Sith Lord that talks I don't want a large death star I can't take a death star for a walk How much is that Droid in the window? The one with the bent ammo rail How much is that Droid in the window? I do hope that Droid's for sale I do hope that Droid's for sale ____________________________________ On the Build front.. AAS is ordered.

@A-Aron - Thank you. I'm glad some people enjoyed the work on the Binders. I am looking forward to comparing them to the "Factory" made ones. @ Tim - Clamps suggested I put them in the two "butter" Teeth holes. I have heard about doing the whole ear thing but then that requires putting holes in the plastic which makes me nervous as there will be enough holes going into my bucket as there is. I guess wait and see.

Well if you aren't sure if you are still sane and ready to go.. watch this Glad things are sorting themselves out .

Alright Peoples... Update on build stuffies!!! See Page 1 if you want.. but basically I've updated what I have ordered and received so far. I have also put in an order for an AAS (Audio Assist System)... THANKS CLAMPS!!! Shawn's Audio Assist System. Mini mics with ear buds. Am going to start researching where I want to place the mics. So far I have heard different things from different people and I value their experience and expertise in the matter. TK Binders Well as I'm a litlte bit of a perfectionist (detail oriented) and really picky sometimes. Especially about things that I build personally. So with that in mind... SIGH.. I went ahead and purchased the Dinsey TK Binders. I feels kinda like a waste with the ones I built as I had numerous difficulties from not being able to get some of the plastic I would need without purchasing a 10 foot pipe at a huge cost.. and then magnet issues only finding some larger ones that just barely fit.. it was just an over all mess... Trying to stay positive: I am happy with what I managed to create out of what I was able to get my hands on, but I am not overall pleased with it. It's "okay" that's about it. Also it was good practice to get using some of the tools and items I'll require for my build so that's good as well. I have worked with wood for a long time and build tons of things that way so I am finding plastic is a bit of a learning curve for me. Heck, I've worked with clay, plaster and glass as well.. Glass blowing was loads of fun but OMG hot!! I was an Arts Major. Laugh Possible Next project I am thinking about making a Mannequin out of Duct Tape to help during the build.. It looks like a fun project. I will be sourcing out the needed items first to see how costly it could be. Need Home Depot: 2 large rolls of duct tape PVC pipe (I used 3/4" pipe) 1 PVC cross connector 4 PVC "T" junctions 4 PVC 90 degree elbows Walmart fiberfill / foam / pillow stuffing Own PVC cement First Aid Scissors with round tips Old long sleeve top, pants (sweats will do) and socks ORDERED: I ordered Lexan scissors and some Split Tubing for Wiring in my bucket. Want to make it all neat and tidy as I go.

One of my old Computers sounded like a rocket ship taking off.. Not sure I'd want my bucket that loud. Laugh..

yes yes Eric the magician.. you and your home built system !! Laugh.. Listen I start fires when I attempt to cook.. I can only imagine what would happen if I tried that!! Laugh. I'm not allowed in the kitchen where I live either!! ROFLMAO

Message sent to him!!!

Thanks Clamps!!! I'll def give him a shout!!! No offence to others selling But i would prefer to support my future Garrison members before others! Did you go with regular speakers or Slim-Line? And which mics did you get for yours?

Hahahah.. Yeah.. cuz he's an evil scotsman and Jimmy is his name...

Glad I could help !! one step at a time, take your time.. and keep going! Don't forget your wellies!! or this one!!

ooo.. Thanks guys... @Dave - It's okay.. I think Red is my favorite Character in Season 2 Orange is the new black - laugh @Dan - oh.. well maybe if I wait until I'm a 501st member I'll get a members discount? Laugh.. US prices are suckie! @A-A ron - Aye, I have heard that version as well. I mostly like listening to the accent. Mingulary boat song

BUILD UPDATE Retrieving the Build thread from yet another fun excursion off topic. Laugh.. I don't mind really its fun to chat and get to know all of you. Hearing Assist systems: I need to know what everyone thinks about these and if there are good vendors in CANADA that have speaker / and bud options with 9V battery options? ECHO Fan Systems: I am truly interested in the Echo Fan system and the bracket however I don't seem to be getting anywhere. I left messages and such for a while now and haven't heard anything. It is too bad there isn't a Canadian Vendor that sells a similar set up as I truly like the look and set up of Echo's. Anyone have any other ideas? Please note: I am horrible with electronics so don't say I can build one myself! I'm not horrible at soldering but electronics aren't my specialty. I need to know how much it will cost to send Echo fans to Ontario. With the exchange rate so crappy it's blah! Thank you again everyone for your input on these items Lastly... I LOVE THIS SONG! SECOND FAV SONG!! Funny Song

hehe.. nice Aaron!!

Hey Dave.. I'm not scottish! I just like the culture.. don't think you have to be part of the scots to enjoy others culture right?

now that would be something to see

hehe.. Mark is awesome with ideas!

We should get all the Scottish Troopers into their Kilts on a windy day!!!
