TD-1536

yeap, great idea!

Yeap, seek out your local Garrison, submit photos to the GML (garrison member liaison) and they will get you a number. In order to keep it however, you must be active in the Legion and troop at least once a year.

Have fun, take pictures!!!

I've got it. The best images and source material are for the prequel trilogy, lots of up-close pictures of fabrics, etc. like Jango, Zam, Senate, Jedi. Most everything from the original trilogy we've seen before, except for a few side notes about construction, etc. It's still a very nice book.

Good stuff, always interesting. Warning though, I would not advise melting plastic in your kitchen oven as the fumes created by heating up styrene can be dangerous. I'm no expect on the matter, so I'll defer to Charlie the Crashmann...

Good luck guys, I look forward to the pictures. One of these years I'll get out to Comic Con.

Thanks everyone! It was great to be able to troop on my birthday at our annual sci-fi con, Shoreleave.

Here's some pics that Charlie (crashmann) took of my pack, made from all the parts he vac-forms. http://tk386.com/td-1536_sandtrooper_backpack/

**raises hand** Had my room secured since last October, and just bought my membership for a third year in a row. Not sure which costumes I'm bringing this year. Last year I brought three large tubs and the logistics getting them in and out was a nightmare.

Wow! That's awesome! I personally would prefer the lighter of the two, as weight is always a concern of mine. Not that I'm ready to drop money on new armor or anything, just saying.

Awesome pics, thanks for sharing. Good to see Tony keeping the dream alive!!! I hope to show off my new Man cave in a few months.

Haha, nice!! Those helmets look like Kevin Weir's sculpt, correct?

The point is that there really are no actual ribbed straps, like on the TKs. Instead, you simply join the front and back pieces with some strapping underneath.

But the adventure is just beginning! Good luck, off to a good start.

Now Billy Mays is dead! No joke!

Ed Mcmahon.

I've been given the intel on this matter and it's a closed case. You are not "under investigation" so you have nothing to worry about, but Matt B. has been kicked out of the 501st Legion. It's a complicated issue that does not need to be discussed in open forum. Carry on

Thanks for the update, I hope all is well. What did Matt B. supposedly do?

hahaha, this is funny! http://www.cowappreciationday.com/_downloads/costume_kit.pdf

if you really like eating at Chick-fil-a, now is a great time to add a cow costume to your repertoire. Click here for details

Hello! Excellent effort trooper... however, I'm afraid the FX helmet and "Studio Creations" style back pack are not acceptable for MEPD Deployment.

I called my dad today. It's the first time I've spoken to him over the phone in years and he was very happy to hear from me. We had a great conversation and hopefully I'll see him later this year, as he lives over eight hours away.

Looks awesome!! Great energy.

yeah, the silly domain host won't allow CNAME changes once you drop their domain hosting package (which I did). The web site still exists here: http://web.mac.com/mikeharrison I just need to figure out how to get another company to register my domain so I can change the cname or URL re-direct.
