    in Off Topic

    Posted

    So far I've found under the Legacy Cllection: Imperial EVO Trooper, Spacetrooper, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Commander Faie, Clone Trooper ROTS, 501st Legion Trooper (clone), 327th Star Corp. clone Trooper, Clone Trooper Officer (Maroon colors), Clone Trooper Officer ( blue colors), BARC Trooper (clone).

     

    And tonight I found some new Clone Troopers with different packaging for " The Clone Wars": 212th Attack Battalion Clone Trooper, Space Gear Clone Trooper.

     

    Is there new figures coming out?

    We are everywhere . lol!!! I was on 635 last week also, but only seen a high speed chase on the southside on I20. You wanna see a Starship Diner? I saw this " Starship Pegasus" below Dallas on I-35E. And its For Sale!!

     

    I tried to upload a pic, but it failed. How do I unload old pics posted here, so I can share new pics with everyone?

  10. Helmet padding

    in Hard Armor (General Discussion)

    Check around at the Goodwills, or any Sporting goods store. I've looked at probably 100 different kinds of helmets, and finally decided on the liner for a Baseball catchers helmet. It looks comfortable, comes in 3 pieces, allows air circulation and looks stylish too. beware though, "Dicks" sells them for $83.. Everybodys different, and just get something that you like, and that is comfortable. Velcro it in, so you can take it out and clean it.

  19. Has anyone seen any large SW Ship? TIE's? SSD?

    I really doubt helium would work. Helium actually has very little lifting power in relationship to weight. If you've ever seen the Mythbusters where they used helium balloons to lift a person you will see how much helium it takes to lift something. Unless you got the thing built in at under about 8 or 10 pounds I don't think it would work.... But a 12 ft Star Destroyer would look really cool.

     

    You may be correct about the helium.

     

    I was thinking of using a lightweight material such as thin wall paneling ( like in a trailer) for the skin, and use heavier material on the bottom to prevent it from flipping over. then use different size bags on the interior too keep it horizontal when inflated. The shield generators could be helium filled soccer balls. If anyone else has any ideas on this, please respond. Plus, if someone wants to run with this idea.... your welcome to it.

     

    Hopefuly in the future, I will find the time too try to build this. But currently, I'm focusing on my stormtrooper outfit and prepping my car for the upcoming car show season.

    There was a gaming convention in New York City back in '95 or so that had a Star Wars starfighter miniature battle -- Rebels vs. Empire. The centrepiece was a homemade six-foot long Star Destroyer that looked dead-on. I found myself wishing for a SSD to scale. :D

    I've been daydreaming about building a large scale Star Destroyer. LOL

     

    here's my thoughts...... I've located a model Star Destroyer at a local hobby shop. Use the model assembly instructions for reconstructing larger pieces for a much larger scale model. Convert the measurements from 1 inch =1 foot. a 1ft long assembled model would equal a 12 foot long Star Destroyer. Build the pieces with thin plywood or something lighter. Use something light for the frame.

     

    Here's the crazy part.lol

    Too get it to hover for a parade or event, insert a large bag when building it, and inflate it with helium or another light gas to get it to float 5 -6 foot. I wonder though, how heavy would it need to be to prevent it from floating away? It needs to be light enough to control. Would it even work?

     

    I got to much time on my hand driving a truck.lol :D

    Did anyone else read the article? It came out 1 week prior to the Superbowl on a weekend edition, maybe the Thursday prior.

     

    JE Jones recieved an award for his movie carreer, and was interveiwed about some of his past movies. can anyone find the article and link it for evryone? He made some comments about SW fans, that I feel was inappropriate.

     

    Found it, but couldnt get the whole article. Its in the archives at USA Today. It ran Jan. 23. 2009 pg D.3 Life section
