Brattie[TK] Posted July 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 I had that happen shortly after I got it.. so I JB welded it right to the main body of the blaster to ensure it was stronger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brattie[TK] Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 hahah.. Thanks Dan.. I'd think tips for all would be roughly the same 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sylverbard[TK] Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 The body breathes. The hood doesnt. Find the wind or ac vent and look at it to cool down. Locomote a lot. Wave to kids. Wave to big kids. Play peek a boo. Kneel. Point and exuberantly nod. Dont shake your head. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK 2759[501st] Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 hahah.. Thanks Dan.. I'd think tips for all would be roughly the same No tips for TKs are a little different,.. Sit down very carefully, best not to do so... Need a break, remove top armour to sit. Watch out for stairs, they are your enemy.... Not sure how eye sight is with Jawa... Keep an eye out for little people, one hand on blaster at all times, even while holstered, check your TD every so often... These things can be removed without notice... So umm... Things are a little different with TKs... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laugh. At some point you may wish to replace the black covering with that invisible mesh that Halloween costumes have inside hoods to keep face black... You can see out, but no one can see your face... Something to experiment with in future? Just an idea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brattie[TK] Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 I totally plan on that but I couldn't find any when I was searching Party City, or any of the other costume places.. I looked at numerous other hardware stores and such as well for screen that might do the trick. Anyway.. it's an easy fix if I can ever find the stuff you speak of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

68Brick[TK] Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Great advice provided. I'd add ... have fun! You'll be smiling a lot!! I'll also add watch out for your fellow Garrison members. Make sure they are safe & nothing's falling off or stolen. They'll do the same for you. If you need a break (hot, tired, malfunction, overwhelmed by people), have someone (handler?) walk back with you. Never troop alone. And if you see a wandering droid, steal it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brattie[TK] Posted July 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) Good advice! Thanks Brad.. It will be interesting.

TK 2759[501st] Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 No luck on costumes here... I'll keep looking, but it's doubtful... Kids were also younger at the time we had the costumes that blacked out the faces. You may need to purchase a full costume and take the face part out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brattie[TK] Posted July 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 I've been hunting for a while.. I thought of sun glasses but the reflectivity of them would be too much and show. The Mesh and fabric is the best way for that.. just have to figure out where to get the one way mesh to make the conversion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
