Great Lakes Garrison & Base

48169, 4816 is a special number to me, and I needed a 5th number... so I put a 9 on it.. cause... 69...

yeah I know... real adult like.

I think we only have a couple of gunners in the garrison, and the ones I know are on the west side. However, since you have a WTF helmet, check this guy out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YY2Z4xNzcfw I had never made armor before I got my TIE, had NO clue what I was doing, but I watched his videos...

You got this!!

You got the hard part done with getting a ticket. Lots of people room up and share rides as the event gets closer.

We'll probably have a thread on here soon for that type of stuff.

I LOVE THESE!!

So sorry I didn't get to see you this weekend. Hope to see them both at cherry capital. I absolutely love the kenobi hair!

Hi Courtney,

I have updated your permissions and you should be able to see our events section now.

Yes, through recommendations from the garrison and the detachment.

I did go and speak directly to the GML who gave my uniform a once over and said it was good to go. I mixed it up with members of the 501st. People didn't know and it was loads of fun. Can't wait...

http://www.imperialofficer.com/forum/index.php?/topic/1817-ioc-costume-resource-list/ That is going to give you ALL the resources you need to build an officer. The IOC forums are a great place to be. I learned everything I need to there, and it's a pretty active detachment. Feel free to message me i...

My officer is a cosplaysky and I got approved be sure to send in your measurements (don't get the sized ones, yes it's an extra 30 dollars but it's worth it) and tell them you need it to 501st standards. Do not get the hat from them though. You can ask for extra fabric and get someone to make the ha...

Typically after a request is sent, we send them an email with some questions. Once they respond back with answers, it will be posted on the boards.

Have you checked to see if they received the email yet?

I did message him and showed him the picture but he says it's not his

I'm guessing that it is probably Ed's from his Hoth Solo costume. I think I remember seeing it on his belt.

I ordered a used stormtrooper suit and I am looking for advice / help fitting it. It seems to be properly sized height wise. The thighs and arms are a bit big. The belt is a tad long for me and I need to find some way to fit my glasses Infront of my face if possible. I'm also not sure how it's supp...

Sounds like an awesome panel!!

I'm interested too

I've heard of a couple of garrisons getting together tonight around 6:30 to have a lightsaber/blaster moment of silence.

Basically, everyone gets together, bringing their lightsabers, flashlights, glowsticks, blasters.. whatever to light the sky in remembrance of her.
