  9. Podcasts... Do you listen to any?

    Star Wars related, 501st cast. Like it alright, only wish is they could get the sound levels evened out better. It drives me crazy when listening at work and I keep having to raise and lower the volume to keep it reasonable and not bugging my coworkers. I need to start downloading to my ipod and using headphones again.

  12. Helmet Interior Paint

    Dash, how were the fumes from that?

     

    I reinforced the mic tips using sock pieces and glue and then painted the inside with Rust-oleum Painter's Touch Flat Black using a foam brush. No smell at all, but it does take a couple coats to cover, swab it on , wait 5 minutes so that layer is good and tacky and do another coat. I bought an 8 oz can and have 90% of it left over.

  18. Helmet Lenses

    I'm also using a welder's shield, but I use velcro to hold the lens strip in place. I trim the shield down to fit without rubbing into the screws fro the ears and put the hooks side of the velcro on the lens and the soft part of the velcro on the helmet.

  24. Help - No TK numbers?

    Here is something that you might find useful, it was written by a member of my garrison.....

     

    When I went to send in my 501st application, I got really sick of having to sort through the list and find the available IDs, so this is a little program I wrote in C# that does it for you.

     

    The program accesses the online 501st roster, downloads it, and displays the untaken IDs, and some stats. If your internet goes down, the program will read from the backup file instead of the online list.

     

    Right now there are too many available IDs to fit on one screen, so it also gives you the option to save the results to a file. It will be saved as Available501stIDs.txt in the folder the .exe is run from.

     

     

    This is a very quick project so it doesn't have a lot of error catching or nice features, but it gets the job done. If there is a lot of support I may expand it to be better and offer it in the Detachment forums, etc.

     

    Make sure to Save rather than Run

     

     

    Thank you for that! I was doing it the hard way, I copied the entire table from the 501st site and put it in Excel and manually added in the "holes" with highlights so I could quickly go through the list when I get the armor done.
