  1. Unless you have a really long neck, you can't look straight down. My helmet pretty much rests on top of my pauldron.
  2. Nice to see you still doing tutorials, Terry! Some of your older ones have broken image links.
  3. Good god, that's a lot of clamps. I used half the amount per section.
  4. Amazing work on that shim! Yes, careful weathering will disguise anything quite nicely.
  5. So jealous. Hopefully I'll be able to attend next year.
  6. You can always add some snaps where it pops out.
  7. Go with the hand painted. If you are emulating a particular trooper, make sure you count the stripes and note the proper placement!
  8. Reach out to Walt's Trooper Factory. Check him out on facebook
  9. Pretty sure decals are fine for basic approval. IMO, painting is still the way to go. You can get the templates at trooperbay.com. Best trick I can tell you is to paint it white first then paint it blue. It'll keep the paint from running.
  10. This is one of the things we should look at getting changed on the CRL this year. I didn't have a pack when I got approved so I literally used packing tape to hold it on my chest long enough to take my submission pictures. Luckily I had some time to get my Dirty Boy pack before my first troop though.
  11. I was approved with no pack as well either. I ended up purchasing a Dirty Boy a few months after my approval and now I'm building another. I don't have a lot of money either so it's taken me a while to source things so don't worry about it. Just troop and have fun.
  12. Welcome, Quinn! I think it's awesome that we are getting more female sandies!
