Yea my first armor was a bit rough..got alot of bites. Now not so much as over the years i learned where to trim to avoid it. You'll find over time you'll trim a little here and a little there until you dont get the bites. Also leaving a bit of room in the forearm/bicep/thigh areas helps as well. It doesnt need to be super tight to your body, that actually causes more harm than does good really. Eventually you will work out a happy medium

Mine is black. But i dyed it as it was Tan when i got it >.< lol

LOL...indeed..it does happen

haha i figured. They are god awful arent they. Makes em look worse standing next to 501st members too!

I sure hope you mean those rubies ones....Cuz the rest of those guys are my garrison and a neighboring one! I dunno why they capped the number of troopers and then got those guys in rubies suits...makes no sense, we had members that couldnt go cuz of the cap. Dumb. just dumb.

haha! yea i was supposed to do this as well, but couldnt make it either.

NICE!!!!

As i said on facebook, Great to see you back T!

Its Stuart Freeborn! He had said he sculpted Yoda based off of himself, with added details of Einstein. Seeing Yoda look "Human" really brings that out. ...and its kinda creepy LOL!

Ive posted this all over, so why not here too lol... This is from mary franklin directly: "From Mary Franklin: "Subject: Re: Rebel Legion status with new LFL/Disney? Please pass this on to all the fan groups you know it you can. ### Sorry to be brief but I am setting up a big company meeting Q and A at the moment. The costumed Star Wars fan community and all Star Wars fans are vital to Lucasfilm and Star Wars. Our relationship is so very important. Please know that we are carrying on business as usual, and you can continue to contact me as you always have. " Calm, please. " ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I freaked out as well when i first heard this news of Disney buying LFL. But a few points were brought up and i have now calmed down in general for me to think, it probably wont be that bad. LFL will not be "taken over and run by" Disney. Kathleen Kennedy will be taking over LFL, who was appointed by Lucas himself to take over LFL and the Star Wars property. Disney does good when it comes to not messing with their secondary companies. I dont see this being any different. Also like was mentioned before, they use the 501st every summer foir Star Wars weekends. LFL and Disney have been tight for years and i only see this being as a good thing. As for new movies....eeeehhhhh on the fence about that. Im a fan of the originals, 4,5,6. thats all i care about. Nothing will ever be as good as those. Not a huge fan of the prequels. According to Mary Franklin, LFL will be run by the same people and the same way, only under the Disney umbrella. So i dont think we will see much difference on our end. They just have more Financial backing now. Lucas himself said they have material for more movies, he just didnt want to do them, personally. He never said they wouldnt happen ever The woman who will be in charge at LFL, Kathleen Kennedy, was appointed by ol Uncle George himself, and she will be taking things forward. I doubt Disney will have any major input in what Star Wars stuff comes out. They will just get $$ and be able to put $$ into it. Cant see that as bad. So i dont think we all need to worry. The only concern i had was the prop makers...but i have a fdeeling it will all be the same as its been. Disney is known for sending C&D's for their primary Intellectual Property, but not for their secondary companies. I would fear not, this is whole thing is probably more good than bad. in the article i read, it stated, Lucas will be a consultant for all Star Wars films made. Disney wont be making the new films..LFL will be...just financially backed by Disney. There is this article here that explains alot: http://thewaltdisney....-lucasfilm-ltd Also check out this one: http://starwarsblog.starwars.com/index.php/2012/10/30/lucasfilm-disney-more-star-wars-and-great-times-for-fans/

My thoughts almost exactly! im a fan of the original trilogy. 4,5,6. thats it. To me THAT is Star Wars. the prequels arent really my thing. Im curious to see where they will go with it. Its still going to be done by Lucasfilm with nsome input from George, it will just be financially supported by Disney. We shall see i guess.

thanks Grit! Haha so far, so do I!

Just in case anyone needs to reach me in the next couple of days and i seem MIA....it may be because i lost power and/or Internet. Fear not, once this blows over and everything is back to normal, i'll be back! thanks for understanding!

Thanks Rolf!

Indeed, stay safe my brothers

heh yea, but i dont get discouraged, i just try harder. Ive made plenty of non-vac formed stuff thats not easy. However, i dont plan on making anything big with it unless i build/get a bigger better machjne. But i have too much going on, i doubt i'll be making any large parts any time soon lol

hehehe. Just another costuming passion i have

Ya know he took all the pics off of his threads for them. I'll check, but i dont think i have a pic. Man, i really need to get off my butt and finish setting up this lil half-assed vac-table. Id love to make some small stuff for the community.

I was thinking TM or someone in the UKG haha. Rick, i saw all of Jesse's threads for making thermal det. and clips n such say he is no longer making anything to spend more time with his family. He was my first go-to for this part as i know its dead on.

So, who makes these now? I know Jesse used to have the most accurate ones ive seen, but he stopped making stuff. I have a TE2 one but i know its not right. Anyone doing them? Not sure if ATA is correct i cant remember for the life of me lol. How about RS props?

Thanks man. I also have a Part 4 and am working on a 6 and 8

Thanks guys! Yea its an over the head mask. Fan made, super nice!

So my Jason costume is about 98% done now at this point. So i decided to take it to New York Comic-con and give it a test run. I was there with the 501st legion, doing our Star Wars thing, trooping my Bikerscout, but i busted out my Jason on Sunday for about an hour. It was pretty well received. With a couple of more tweaks i think this will be a masterpiece of horror, as wickedbeard put it lol. Enjoy!

Man Rolf...you are a force to be rekoned with when it comes to Sandy armor. Incredible build. Ive seen it before, but cant help saying that every time i see it. Is that your RS gear? Very jealous! ...and the raw umber is definately where its at

Yea i used to have the video saved as well, then it just disappeared. I think it was taken down
