While using BTS footage to teach how to use Premier Pro, I made something. Still amazed at the crew we assembled for this project (including our very own @Manbehindthemask, TK Tommy Vandemortel and Pete Myhalenko... my armor was filled by my brother). Like the students tell me, 'Mister, you're doing too much,' but I didn't have the heart to keep out all of the hard work that went into making this fan short - while this film mainly follows the story board, it's amazing how I can see contributions from each person involved in every frame. Well, this is the end of my footage so probably will be the last post for Tomorrow & Tomorrow. (but, if it's been a while, you could always rewatch the finished project) And a thank you to all of you that watched the film as well as supported and encouraged us throughout the process!

There are a couple folks on Facebook that make these along with custom cards - the guy that made mine was in demand but I believe he's retired now... and a bit more than $60: Unfortunately, the cape fell in front of my helmet.

Thanks Gary! Also wanted to post a behind-the-scenes video featuring another TK: @Manbehindthemask

The project that I have been working on has been chugging along - about to have an announcement in a couple of days so I thought that I'd create a landing zone for here. I'll start by gathering the production photos already posted around the net:

First off, is the call for reading a children's book: In the end, I don't think that this one will be used for the Legion's promotion because I screwed up and didn't use a Disney book - but this shoot included many book changes, a costume change, and close to a meltdown from myself so I want to show it off. Plus I do like how it turned out. The next is a PSA I created for my students: This was fun project for the whole family during lockdown. And finally, I took the dog for a walk This last one was by far the best thing I've done since the quarantine started - a lot of smiles and waves. Stay healthy and safe!

Was asked to do this for work: Hoping everyone stays healthy and safe.

...and I'm approved!

Submitted for Approval: Front: Right: Right - Arms Up: Back: Left: Left- Arms Up: Abs: Stormtrooper:

Close to complete: still down a neck seal but did an unofficial troop at work (a high school yesterday). Only had a half an hour window, that we stretched to about 45 minutes, so I had to suit-up quickly... and unknowingly had a drop box tucked into my armor. All that aside, here's my favorite photo: and here's a couple photos of me shooting hoops:

The kidney plate looks off because we flattened a return edge - when we started the build, I was around 230 lbs. and we thought that we were going to need shims. I'm down to 195 now and don't need the shims I think that the flattening is causing them to look misaligned but, with having to lengthen the front of my torso too because of my height, the back would be hanging way too low. When building, we (mostly I) were worried about gaps and wanted to address that first. As for the unneeded shims - I should've lost the weight before the build. Thank you for the feedback and I'll discuss with Ryan (he's the real brains of the operation)

A little closer:

Work from today: Getting close!

Awesome! Thank you for this!

Been a while without an update... have been working on the build and making progress:

Probably going to be a slow build but have some progress to share: After trimming various parts, the biceps are now glued: And the Thermal Detonator is completed: Probably going to keep this at level 1 depending on how much upgrades are... I have a lot invested in two Vaders and wanted a cheaper, and less stressful, build.

Looking forward to these... the Vader boots are incredible.

Was able to acquire an Anovos set and, since there's no way to replace SNAFUs, am a little bit nervous with this build. Manbehindthemask is currently assisting with this build and is doing a lot of the heavy-lifting. Also, as stated in my welcome post, I am 6'1" and my armor is designed for up to 6'... a little nervous about undertaking this project so the help is much needed. I've spent way too much money on an ANH and a RO Vader builds so, if I try to spend a lot on this one, my wife will probably leave me. Since I've done almost no research at this point, my list is short: Armor : Anovos Boots : Caboots Right now, Ryan and I are trimming the armor to size and I ordered my boots from Caboots because they're the ones that made my Vader boots and they are awesome - I have problems with my feet and standing for long periods... I am able to troop in my Vader boots without pain and without my prescribed insoles. Other than that, I'll add to my list as I go along. Thanks for reading and for any help or suggestions you have for me.
