Barricade

Gratz guys!

Hey those pillars look familiar

Thanks guys...and I didn't think of it that way Scribs. Shes very very sneaky it would appear...lol

Hey guys, I thought I'd just throw this out there for anybody that might be in the Central Texas area in February. There will be a Star Wars Kids camp in February. I attached the link. Looks pretty cool. http://starwarscamp.wordpress.com/

Thanks guys! She even got the pauldron right...lol

Nice...I especially like the black pauldron trooper that comes with the Lego set.

Thought I'd share my new toy...

That is awesome!

The dishes are done. Well done for now, as in I'm not working on it anymore until after Wizard World. The Jawa says "hi".

Lol..Smally I got the poster from here. Here's the link: http://forum.mepd.net/index.php?showtopic=9155&st=0&p=111121&hl=poster&fromsearch=1entry111121

So, I decide to share this project with my brothers in the sand since its most appropriate here. Some of you (who are my FB friends) have probably already seen these pics. So from the beginning. I wanted to create a cantina backdrop and decided to build one with wood and hardboard. That was a huge mistake. The half complete prop weighed a ton (maybe less...lol, but still heavy) and was not practical for me. I needed something light and portable so I can easily transport it to troops. So version two is made with PVC and foam. Whether it will withstand the rigors of trooping and transportation only time will tell. Some of the advantages at this point for the build is the portability (none of the pipes are glued, they're all held in place with machine bolts and nuts so it can be disassembled as needed). The foam is held to the frame with velcro (oh yeah, this prop is for indoor use only such as cons). Wind is a serious problem for this light weight prop. It cost about $100 give or take and takes about 2 days to build by myself. I expect to finish it tonight. I still have 3 facade pieces to finish and then final paint and weather. This prop will be at Wizard World Austin and we'll see if it'll hold up. I attached a few pics of the build below.

dooooooooood

Yeah, it was weird. Ryan asked me where he should post his build thread so I sent him a link via Facebook. He clicked on the link and posted, by doing so he somehow got access to my account. When I logged into MEPD to see what he was talking about, it was automatically logged into his account. Very strange. It was fixed by logging out and relogging, but strange.

quit trying to steal my identity

OK guys ill be posting pics soon on my build and how it is going on so far. Wish me luck im hoping to finish it by the end of the month or sooner! - posted by Duff Trooper _______________________________________________________________________________ See below for explanation... (ah, the mystery)

Welcome to MEPD Ruben. There are lots of info here on how to put your armor together, but feel free to add me as and send me questions as things come up.

Just like you NTX guys to shake down a cow.

Ok guys, Here are the details. I finally got Legion approval to move forward on this. OP:ANH is official and our first step was to set up a virtual food drive for the victims of the Central Texas Wildfires. Funds raised will go directly to helping CAFB in this disaster response. The relief effort will be long-term and monetary donations will be necessary for many months. If you have the means please make a donation to the Capital Area Food Bank of Texas. Your donation goes a long way. Every $1 donated provides $5 worth of nutritious food for hungry Central Texans. Please email your mailing address to operationanh@gmail.com if you wish to receive a Operation: A New Hope sticker for your donation. Donation Page Thank you, TD-7974 Star Garrison Central Texas Squad

I'm interested to see how this turns out. I've been thinking about getting a Cushman, but have been afraid to pull the proverbial trigger.

That's right Ma'am, no excuses. Here's your ticket and have a nice day. (Star Wars Blu Ray release at Bestbuy-Austin, TX)

Trooper Tim in Star Garrison has done a bunch with a helmet cam. Below is the from DragonCon this year. He's uploaded a ton of footage on youtube from troops.

nice

Man Durty...you just look meaner as you get older.

Wow, looks like its been a long time since I ventured in here. Glad to see all the new faces. Welcome to desert gentlemen, remember to hydrate and beware of the locals.

In theory it is an outstanding idea. I think the challenge will come in terms of execution and sustainability. The first hurdle will be to find somebody willing to be responsible for the MEPD end. Beyond that is how will MEPD continue to man this operation in the future, a future when we aren't here anymore (more specifically, when you and the rest of the current staff aren't here anymore). Finally, the do we really want MEPD in the middle of transactions? MEPD will not doubt become the arbitrator in any disputes that arise. Does MEPD want to take sides? I agree with the idea and I think your heart is in the right place Rick, but logistically this may not be feasible. Just my $0.02.
