  1. I was going to get some undershirts made for myself and a few friends and noticed that the price was reasonably close to what we have been paying to chain stores. I was quoted $20 per shirt shipped to me. So I decided that I post it up here and see if anybody else was interested in it before I placed my order.

    The shirts will be custom made. They will be long sleeved compression shirts with a white imperial cog on the chest (which will be covered up when you're wearing your armor).

    Details on shirt below:

    • Full body in Compression Fabric / Base layer Fabric
    • Fabric Composition 80 / 20 (Spandex, Nylon, Polyester, Lycra, Elastane)*
    • 4-Way Stretchable
    • Moisture Wicking
    • Anti-bacterial
    • All seams flat-lock stitched
    • UPF 50 Sun Protection
    Size Chart:

    S 35-38 M 38-41 L 41-44 XL 44-47

    - $20 + $5 shipping INCONUS

    - $20 + $12 shipping International ($16 for orders with multiple shirts)

    I'll be closing the run on Aug 6th. The plan is to try and get the shirts in for C6. If it happens I'll bring the shirts with me and save you guys the shipping. Otherwise, it'll be original plan of me shipping them out.

    Feel free to message or email me with any questions. I'll cover the cost up front and I'll take payment after I have the shirts in hand.

    thanks,

    Phil

  2. 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. :unsure:

    I attached a few pics of the build below.

  3. 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.

  4. 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
