Applied. Great idea bro.

YEAH BUDDY!, That looks awesome Craig!!!

Looking good Craiger. That turned out really nice bro.

Can somebody please tell me what a GF helmet is? is it an FX recast?

Suit looks good mate but is that an FX helmet? you might want to get something else like an AP, MR, TE2 to name a few.

Congrats bro, well done.

Done, thanks Zac. parts have been ordered for pack. I will get photos of my helmet, DLT and pack when parts arrive. I do have HOVI tips and green lenses and will get closer pics. Sorry about that, I guess I jumped the gun (too excited) Ben-

Thanks very much for your kind comments guys. I have ordered some Pack parts including Cistern kit to improve my pack. Once I have put the parts on, I will request deployment again. Thanks for all your help brothers. Ben-

Thanks buddy

Yeah, I tried that but it still didn't work for me.

Can't seem to post anymore pics??

I decided to touch up my AP bucket a little more and used a different approach. What do you guys think??

Because he was only 5'6!!! no joke. after the event we took a group photo and we had him stand on a milk crate to make him taller

I had a blast doing this event! this was my first troop in my finished TD and had a photographer take many 501st submission photos after the event for approval. then, request deployment here. Thanks so much Eddie, Jesus for a great troop. Like you said, we were the stars of that Parade for sure. I had women running at me for hugs and photos. I felt like a rock star for sure. Can't wait for the next gig fellas. Ben-

That's right Jesus, Eddie had the idea that we should wear different pauldrons in the Parade and man did we look good! I felt like a rock star walking down Main Ave. I had chicks running at me for hugs and photos. We worked the crowd pretty well. Jesus posted earlier that there where 150,000 people who lined the streets and when we made our appearance, both adults and children ran out from everywhere to get there picture taken with us. Eddie's girlfriend has more photos of the event which I'm sure he'll post in the event section soon. It was a pleasure trooping with both Eddie and Jesus, what a day! here's looking forward to many events with you guys............. Ben-

Yes, I will post them soon. I didn't weather my AP helmet like the suit because that's the way it was in the movie (lighter).

**UPDATE*** Finished my suit this weekend in time for a Parade we did here in San Diego. That's me on the far right w/ orange pauldron. http://s382.photobucket.com/albums/oo263/t...nt=PB231595.jpg http://s382.photobucket.com/albums/oo263/t...nt=PB231596.jpg

I am interested in 2 sets buddy. PM also sent on 501st boards. Ben-

Another 37 year old kid here.

Thanks Scootch. yeah, that won't be rubbing off any time soon I weathered the boots the same as the armor, just spray a little of the paint on a sponge mixed with a little acetone and dampen. gives it a real nice weathered look.

Hey guys, I posted a little info about me in the "introduction" thread. I'm another new guy hoping to achieve MEPD deployment status with my first TD suit. I use an FX set of armor and an AP bucket. I went a little different route to weathering my armor using just Satin enamel rattle cans with the sponge and plastic bag for effect. I then used a very light Acetone wash. some of you may cringe at the very idea doing it this way but I think it looks awesome in person. Please tell what you think............ I am waiting to take suited up photos til my pack arrives Thursday. Thanks, Ben.

Looks great Craig, nice weathering job! I'd like to see that diamond knee plate when you get pics bro.

Yeah, this is his second or third attempt in selling the pack on Ebay for that price. It would boost his sale if only he had photos and some kind of documentation to prove it. Otherwise, it just looks like another fan made pack.

Yeah, that was a sad day for me to sell my ESB Fett but I have since bounced back and put together a really cool TD (IMO). I'm using FX armor with an AP helmet. I've had good news on my pack and DLT Hyperfirm which should be here this Thursday. I will get pics up soon after I have submitted them for 501st approval. Glad your making the switch Craig, will this be done before Wonder Con? Here's a link to my Spike TV commercial I did in my ESB Fett, really funny. http://www.spike.com/video/dont-make-fun-of/2996499
