I own an Orange, Black, and White. but I only have one type of backpack... I think some people care more about the pauldron color matching the specific backpacks they were scene on screen with lol so I just wear whatever color I feel like wearing. I wore orange a while, then I went to wearing the white for a while. I'll switch to wearing the black next. The white one I have is nice and dirty though while the black one looks brand new lol so I'll have to throw some dirt on it first for sure.. I tend to grab white previously because seemed like everyone had orange I trooped with in Florida.

I have one of his helmets. I bought it a while back for a couple hundred dollars , directly from him. It was assembled shottily and had extra drill holes in it where he put it together twice, apparently screwing up the first time. I know from experience helmets are cheaply made because plastic isnt that expensive for a sheet that you can pull a couple helmet faces or backs or domes out of, its the initial set up that is going to cost you money. So you have to charge more than the plastic to get that money back. That and whatever money you spent on clay for helmet sculpting or for original items you used to cast from if you bought REAL movie props. there are others out there that charge a LOT more than a few bucks over the cost of plastic. GINO helmets are expensive too. Its a huge debate, one would say GINO helmets are more for looking at than trooping in. Maybe TE helmets are more that way too. They are super thin and have more detail than some other helmets... but after you drop that kinda money wouldnt you be afraid to drop the sucker? lol Long winded post just to say DO YOUR RESEARCH here, FISD, and on the RPF before you buy a helmet, especially one you are just using for costuming and not as a prop display. And remember no one builds anything for free.. some people charge more for their TIME than others as well. I shop around before I buy now-a-days. Armor AND car repair lol. One shop charges 100/hour and another charges 60/hour. I know I might (MIGHT) get better work at the more expensive shop, but sometimes its just the same service and the 60/hour place is better

LOL not nearly as interesting... I was working on my X-Wing pilot helmet, gluing the mohawk strip down and I had some CA glue and accelerating spray stuff. I picked up the glue to start on the strip after spending a while lining it up and taping it down at the back so I could work on only the front for the moment and the glue wouldnt come out. I had pressed a little hard and nothing came out so I spun it around to look to see what kind of clog I was dealing with and the pressure had built up enough from that initial squeeze that the clog came out and it squirted a line of glue right up at my right eye. So I said $#!7 and grabbed my eyelids and held them wide open and ran to the shower and put my head in it to rinse my eye out, still holding it open. When I pulled my head back out of the shower and let go, my eye wouldnt shut. the bottom eyelashes and top eyelashes were glued down to my face. my fingers had been in the way to flush the glue off so it set since it was behind the fingers LOL I showed my brother and Mom since I was actually at their place when I did it. Freaked my mom out but she let me borrow her little grooming scissors things and I calmly cut most of my eyelashes from my eye, where they stayed glued to my face but at least I could close my eye took a while to pluck all the glued down eyelashes off my face eye looked a bit weird for a while til it grew the lashes back out!

I had to go in there one time!!! Just before the rose parade. I was told I had to be presentable to Uncle George since when I'd submitted my video I was clean! I hope to NEVER go in that room again!

How the heck are you still alive dsonik?... lol I was just remembering supergluing my eye OPEN (not closed, cause I thought fast enough to hold the eye open so my eyelashes glued to my forehead lol) but now my story isnt nearly as interesting. a WHOLE bike pedal??

Lol , My fiance cut himself open to the tendon on his finger with an xacto knife. Needed a couple stitches. Ripped open a finger once myself with a really large safety pin that was in my armor bag. stuck my hand in it to get something out and the pin was open and it went into my finger and I yelped and pulled my hand out really fast and it pulled through the skin and left a nasty little flap Burn myself all the time but nothing thats left too bad a scar. (except an eraser burn on the top of my hand from that dumb school bus game of letting someone take an eraser to your hand until you say ouch (guy got tired before I said ouch lol) On the opposite hand, I have a fork prong scar from my cousin stabbing me with a fork when I was like 2-3. So far though I havent cut myself working with xacto knives or chefs knives even back as a chef *knock on wood* Got a little patch of road rash though on my back right thigh from roller blading as a teenager. Went down a hill and hit a speedbump and flew about 20 feet before sliding the rest of the way down the hill on my butt. My brother said it looked awesome. :/ Hit my knuckle with a hammer as a kid helping build my dads house too. *as I'm looking around for more scars to explain... LOL* Broke a clavical playing football in elementary school too :/ I dont particularly dig any of my scars lol *shrug* at least my boyfriend doesnt notice most of them anyways LOL

No boobies chest pieces lol! Tina was a TD in the Rose Parade Beth was TD for part of this weekend Where Science Meets Imagination at Huntsville Science and Rocket center.

Ok ok here we go, I actually found some scrap metal so oohrah! Picture of wires around t-track on MG34: Angled washer greeblie thingy: and ammo box cover: I'm sorry also that I took four years to care enough about it , but I can has deploy?

I ran into the door at the apartment twice, just backed right into it LOL it will take some getting used to for sure after 4 years of no pack. I'm looking around work for scrap plastic to make my MG34 ejector box thing , I'll be done with this tonight darn it. lol

Ah well. What can ya do I'll wear mine occasionally, its kinda fun. I can move my electronics from my front shoulder pouch to the pack. Though my aerators are speakers . I should just try to self contain it in the helmet...
