[DK Publishing]

The local Florida Garrison Makaze squad did this same event here this weekend. LOTS of kids awaiting the troopers.

 

Oh, and a kid asked if I was a clonetrooper. I wanted to cry.

 

 

And I was sick so I thought this was funny for some reason.

 

[TK's rocking C5 - day 2 photos]

Thanks again for everyone that helped out in the skit. Man that was fun.

 

I was also surprised at the low number of FX helms I saw at C5. It seems my local squad is about 50/50 on FX helms but at C5 I swear the FX's only accounted for about 20% (1 in 5) which is just awesome for the hobby.

What's in the box? WHAT'S IN THE BOX!??!

 

[Force-sensitive stormtroopers]

Someone definately needs to make some McQuarrie armor. I've been thinking about making a lightsaber and a shield for trooping.

[WTB: Macrobinoculars kit or used/broken]

Bump.

 

Anyone have anything or maybe even a lead?

[WTB: Macrobinoculars kit or used/broken]

I'm looking for a cheaper macrobinoculars kit or maybe a used/broken kit. My plan is to break it anyway.

 

PM me please!

[FX ABS Belt assembly question]

You answered your own Q? there, overlap about the width of the td

 

Thanks. I sure wouldn't want to cut incorrectly or too quickly.

 

Lets do this!!

[FX ABS Belt assembly question]

Here's an old school question for you guys. (I did a search but only found canvas belt convos.)

 

I'm waiting for my canvas belt yet I want to join the 501st and start trooping.

 

The 2 ABS pieces that go around the back to make the belt are too long, did you guys just cut those so they overlap? How far should I overlap them? Maybe just far enough so they don't pass the TD?

 

Again, this is just a temporary belt but I don't want to cut too much.

 

Thanks!!!

[Ab and back panel Question]

This is a great thread with some great pics! This will help out a bunch when I get my canvas belt.

[TK Tap shoes?]

As to the folks who did a tour at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. You certainly can't wear them on the flight line though.

 

Thanks guys. So has anyone done this before? Does it make for a good effect?

[TK Tap shoes?]

Has anyone thought to put some kind of tap shoes on the bottom of their TK boots so they make that awesome *CLACK CLACK* sound like in the movies?

[WTB: ABS FX shoulder straps]

Oops!

 

Yeah, I know. Thanks for helping me out with the first pair.

[WTB: ABS FX shoulder straps]

I need some ABS FX shoulder straps after I heated mine too much and warped them.

 

Please PM me with price and details.

 

Thanks!

[Best place to get leather dye?]

Just a heads up. I just purchased a bottle of Meltonian Nu-Life Color Preparer and found out that it's simply a bottle of Acetone. Not saying that I got ripped off but if you have Acetone available to you then just use that.

[FS: E-11 Blaster Kit (SR Props) 20 units!]

Kit received and it looks great. Sorry for being impatient.

[FS: E-11 Blaster Kit (SR Props) 20 units!]

Man, I'm still waiting on my kit and I'm getting no replies to PMs.

 

What should I do?

[FS: E-11 Blaster Kit (SR Props) 20 units!]

Any word on where I am on the shipping list?

 

I'm getting anxious!

 

[Best place to get leather dye?]

Hey guys,

 

I didn't want to start a new thread so I'll put this here.

 

I'm now on my 5th coat of the yellow boxed brand of leather dye and I've come to a realization. Every coat I put on is taking off the coat before and I'm getting no where. I'm thinking I need to go another route at this point.

 

Has anyone tried using the Rustoleum brand spray paint on a pair of shoes? Seems like it would be the best way of handling the painting.

[FS: E-11 Blaster Kit (SR Props) 20 units!]

Shropt + No ID + 1 blaster kit

 

I hope there is still one left.

 

EDIT:

 

Completed steps 3 & 4

[Armor Dilemma - Used vs. New?]

$100 for 30 minutes? In a Rubies?

 

For the life of me, in all of my time building my armor, it never dawned on me I could have people pay to have me show up at parties.

 

I will be a member of the 501st some day and for all the right reasons.

[Where to find missing FX pieces]

Hey, just wanted to give a big thanks to synaptyx for his shoulder ABS pieces. They look great!

 

Thanks!!

[Looking for Deep Clamps]

Impressive.

 

Most Impressive.

 

[New to WA - Not to SW]

Hey Shropt!

 

Thanks for the greets fells!

 

Quick question - I want to post a thread asking some questions about the Orlando FXI show in Orlando, April 17-19.

 

Where should it go, to get the most visibility. Didnt really see an appropriate area.

 

Was gonna meet up with Shropt.....but he's on his period that weekend!

 

 

LOL - jk!

 

That's something better for the fl501st.com board. They have a whole section for FX 2009 actually.

[New to WA - Not to SW]

Welcome Todd!!

 

Have we met?

 

There is a lot of great stuff here to learn. Now get some stinking armor already!

[Would these boots be ok for ANH elite?]

They look fine but i think they are childs boots judging by the sizes avaiable..

 

Oh, just go by the pic. I have a local distributor that will order them for me for a sweeeeeeeet price.
