  1. before I was in the 501st - one year for Halloween I had crafted one of those cheap $1 pumpkin candy buckets into an Ewok head. Blood and gore. I had found one of those scary teddy bear masks at the thrift shop and changed it into an Ewok. Was a TK handing out candy from an Ewok head.
  2. That is what I was asking. So "we" don't have the trooper officially.
  3. "We" already have the Mimban trooper?
  4. I have some foam padding in my fore arms. I think they just stay up from the foam rubbing against the fabric of my shirt. Kind of like Velcro in a way. No snaps for me.
  5. Hanging out with Dengar. I don't know if anyone else remembers Wizard Comics Magazine. They had the segment (similar to Robot Chicken) and there was one frame with Dengar as a plumber/maintenance worker - "Hi. I'm here to fix the backed up toilets". Guess we could call that guy "Waste Treatment Trooper"
  6. Do you mean like what is called a "fitted bandana"? Usually see motorcyclists wear them. Ill have to pass on that.
  7. Of course it isn't the same. This is where you get out the dremel, bondo, sand paper and paint. But if you got the ching ching to spend on repro stuff and don't have a body shop at your disposal, then you do you.
  8. Are trucker caps still a thing? jk but You forgot bucket hat. (boonie hat comes close to bucket cap)
  9. There is an issue with the radio from Tosche Traders. They were found to have recast Woodman's radio. They appear to have been moving away from Sandtrooper parts since. It will take time to source all of the parts for a pack. I believe we had a thread where the MEPD members who cast and make their own items, were listed, it may need to be updated though. I picked up a back pack frame that is close to the original frame. Unless you are going for SWAT - the frame you work with has to resemble screen accurate. Which would mean tweaking it on the curve to get the angle right.
  10. I dunno. I don't wanna be like those other guys. We are dirty and hanging out in a desert. We aren't on squeaky clean military installation/moon. How about a hat worn by military stationed in a desert? Like maybe a German DAK Afrika Corps cap. Or a Afrika Corps Forage cap? Or maybe even the original "boonie" - Russian military Panama hat. Or why not a bucket hat. As a nod to "Bucket hat guy with the cig hangin outta his mouth"
  11. Not sure where you are, but I got my siphon from All Bits plumbing in the UK. I shaved down some of the plastic (where the hook is) and bondo'd it. It was listed as Toilet WC Cistern For Lever Macdee Round 3 Part Syphon Rapid Fit Flush Unit 9" If they do not have it, at least you have the name of the product to search for in other shops. You most likely will have to search for UK sellers, as that style is not used in the US.

  12. No prob. I know about the PO before SWAT . But cost of building a pack for approval purposes in order to progress to a no pack SWAT trooper just blows. I blame Noel and Daniel. Understood. There are some differences in the CRL over at the main 501st and the one here (I think here). There are some wording differences. One or the other has not been updated. But I don't recall which one.
  13. woah woah woah. I was informed that I could not be the roadblock captain (v2) for SWAT unless I had completed PO and that meant I was required to build a pack, even though the captain (v2) does not have a pack. This is the reason for me just sticking with plain old level 1. And not moving to PO. Because of $$ of building a pack that I will only require for approval purposes.
  14. I rocked a fez earlier this year. We were messing around in a surplus shop that had militaria. It was a waffen fez though. So I could see people getting upset with that buuuut it did look snappy. A Glengarry cap was spiffy as well.

  17. Depends on the event. And what troopers are there. If there is my favorite Jawa, I'll usually drag around with her like keep an eye on her. She plays around like she is trying to steal everything or touch shiny things. I'll stand and give her a "put it back" motion, or "hands off" or the "scolding finger". If there are other TDs then it's serious. Or Ill play the foil to whoever is being the most serious. My character is usually fun. However - If there are kids and they are frightened or there is a child with special needs that is unsure or having a difficult time processing (I work with special needs kids, and I somehow have the ability to spot them) I go out of character and come down to their level and remove the helmet. Take time out of trooping. Show them the helmet. Let them put it on.
  18. The only possibility I see is that trooper in the center stands sort of like a female. The only female I see in any of the photos, is what appears to be the script reader. When people go off script. She is the one with the floppy hat. I don't believe though she was a sandy. Most of the photos autographed are random sandies. There is never one sandy pointed out, in the photos I have seen. If you were in different scenes, you would sign your autograph over the one you portrayed right, or maybe put a tick mark to that one right?
  19. Looks like the Rebels have the same issue http://forum.rebelscum.com/t1069268/
  20. Congratulations to those coming in. And thank you to Felice for all these years.
  21. I think this is the same issue when you said "auto-complete not working when sending message" I am experiencing a similar issue when posting replies in threads. I click submit, nothing appears to happen. Hit submit again. Nothing appears to happen. But it did submit, twice, however the reply window remains open. If I refresh the page I can see that the reply did go through. This is the same with the private messaging system.
  22. Hey yo, Andrew Villanueva just transferred over there for a little while. IIRC he will be interning for Disney. I do not know if he even signed up to the boards here.
  23. Check out our Galactic Academy cadets, and Andrew Villanueva TD 66427, this weekend.
  24. IMO - he doesn't look like any of these dudes. But I dunno. There are many uncredited actors. That people are still searching for.
