That's pretty cool, Zon! Weird Al will be performing in my neck of the woods- San Francisco, Aug 10. I would have love to troop at that event, already got eight our garrison guys signed up. Unfortunately, I'll be in Florida for CV at that time.

Thx Gordon! Can't help with the FISD flash, I'm a transfer form the shiny armor side:P When you guys get the MEPD flash, I'll be first in line to sew it on a new beret. How about this flash for now until the real one arrives. Our GML takes awhile, he's busy with family and work. I'll email him again to see if we can move along the process. @Marcus: Thx brother, got my inspiration from seeing your armor! Now at least there is one Sandie representing the South Bay. Rafael, you, me- all we need now is recruit two more TDs to make a "Dirty Armor" squad for the Garrison.

Thx guys for the encouragement! This has been a fun build. Finally got the pics loaded: Lets see if I am up to par. Here is the link to more photos: My TD Submission Photos

Finally finished my pack this afternoon and my weathered pauldren & pouches. Now to take a break, and see if I have enough energy to put on the armor later today for pics

Another printer is: ZigZagDesigns

Just 1 pound, pretty light. It's all aluminum. Frame is all painted and added the left pipe.

Alright, bent the frame easy over my tool box and rivet the support strips. Now to primer & paint. Should have everything done by this weekend.

Happy B-day, Anthony!

@Rick, Thx, that'll work. My vintage Boy Scout backpack arrived today! Now to find a pipe bender and pick up an aluminum strip.

What's up Lou, Yes, that's where I'm staying with six other garrison members, fifteen all together from our garrison. I'm arriving Sunday late night before CV. When are you arriving there?

I'll be there as ROTJ Fett & Jedi, no TD Can't fit the TD armor & backpack in my luggage. Looking forward to see you guys there. I'll be going to the Rebel/501st pool party, 501st mixer, and Last Tour to Endor. Staying at the Quality Inn for 8 days.

Love the surf board, bro! Cool pics!

Thx Rick Do you or anyone have photos of the bend on the back pack. I've seen a couple of photos but don't know how accurate they were. I want to get it right before I start bending.

Thx, Marcus, it's all good, the fun is the build. I'd just saw a back pack on flea bay that I'm bidding on. Keep my fingers crossed, I think it's as authentic as I can get. I may just have to build anther back pack

Thx for the advice, tried standing on it to flatten it, didn't work. It's army issue, pretty sturdy. May have to get pipe bender or may just get pvc and build another frame...well at least everything else is done.

Hey Rick, My pack frame is army issued, and I don't know if it is all aluminum metal. Is there a method to bend this type of frame, or more likely would I need to pick up some PVC for a new frame this weekend? @Nol, Thx, for checking! It's going through now, got Rick's post.

I will be working on my pack this weekend I might have a problem bending the pack, but will give it a shot. I'd already dirty it up and pauldron. Cut off the center pouch on the shoulder MP40 pouch. So I should have re-ssubmtted pics by the following week. Thx, for all the support guys! FYI: I'm subscribed to this thread, but am not receiving updates.

Thx guys, this will be my summer project.

Thx guys for all the recommendations and compliments. I'll go work on the list to do. - More weathering on the boxes and the pauldron - Move the boxes closer - Switch the shoulder MP40 pouch to the three mag w/o small pouch @Nol- Are the MP-40 pouches w/o small pouch for both or just the shoulder? Because the one on my belt is that one. @Gondonator- I'm in for a Flash! @Marcus- Good trooping with you, brother! You alone would have ended them. Like they say-'Great power comes with great restraint' at least while in armor anyway.

Hello, NAME: Anthony 501st ID: TD-3390 Call-Sign: Ciscotiger Garrison: Golden Gate Garrison Here are my deployment request submission photos. I apologize for the background location, I wanted to submit my pictures today and the dressing room was the only time and place to have another member take my pictures while trooping. The cleaned out the profile pics to help out with the editing. If you need anything else, please let me know. Armor: DLT19:

Congratulations Lou! I wish you a lifetime of joy and happiness with your fiance!

Pretty cool, Gordon!!!

If CV wasn't happening, I would be going this year. Well, next year, I'll bring down my TD, if the tickets aren't all sold out... <_<

I don't think he's a Hells Angel- He'd be on a Harley, not a Honda, and would be bury in his colors. But I have to hand it to him, he is going out with style.

Wow , very impressed and very cool, Woodchuck! You are a true wood craftsman.
