Actually that BFG is a fanmade weapon I bought off of a gentleman here last year. I quite like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daric LaRone Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 Cool! You almost look like Uncle George. **ducks** You know what Mike, since I've been growing my hair out several people have said that. I don't quite know if it's a good thing or bad thing. I'll say this: I do need to lose about 40 lbs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastic Fury Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I'll say this: I do need to lose about 40 lbs... I know that feeling brother, my thighs look just like yours, I started back on a diet and exercise program for the new year because I want to lose some weight before Star Wars Weekends lol (my goal is MEPD before then, I look forward to meeting some others from this detachment on those weekends). Looking good man, like your weathering, came out nice. I am envious, all I have left is to finish the pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daric LaRone Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 Thanks Zac so much! I am more than thrilled! And thanks all my brothers here for the encouraging words and compliments and advice. To have built a screen accurate costume of my favorite Original Trilogy character (with the help of MEPD of course) is a dream come true. And to be able to wear it with pride representing the Legion, the MEPD, and the Georgia Garrison is a truly great honor. THANK YOU ALL!
