We'll be sure to give you a call if we need any extra help.

Thanks.

I'm going to throw together an armor party on April 3rd in South Haven. I know a few of you have been working on your clones for quite a while...Longshot, Squadleader..now it the time to get some more work done. :thumbs: I'll probably start as early as 10:00 and go till ? Bring some food if you want...

A batting helmet, SC mask, and resin face pieces are exactly what I used on mine. Looks good.

Here's another picture with my corrected belt.

OK...I fixed my belt.

Man.. that looks great!!!! Nice paint job as well. I like the weathering!! I dont know if you did this, but if you buy some volleyball knee pads to put behind your knees, it will add ALLLL the difference. The first time you troop, you will find they want to turn in, and hide up behind you thighs :m...

Yep...I noticed that too.

I'm fixing it right now.

Well, I finally got around to putting some pictures up.

Looks great Lou! :thumbs: The 41st are one of my favorite clones. Did you see that Sideshow just released a 12" action figure of the 41st Clone Trooper? Yeah, I was looking at those last night. I really need to get that . :D I'm glad they showed a fairly good picture of how the communication p...

Well, I just about have my clone finished. I didn't even think to take any pictures until I had most of it done. I'll suit up tomorrow and have the wife take some pics. This is the one picture I had on FB. http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e236/lourod72/costumes/nov15005Small.jpg A few of you guys h...

My Oscs should come any day now I think I'm going to go with the back off method, but I won't know for sure until I get it in my hands.

Do any of you guys have an OSCS bucket and if so which way did you cut it? Ring off, face off, back off or something else. Thanks for any input.

I just took the initial push up test and from those results it looks like I should start on week 3.

I'm going to start Sunday.

Since I'm new, and don't have a canon costume yet, I was planning on making a Darth Revan costume. So, I was looking around the internet for some sheets of plastic or such to use in the Vacuuforming table I am going to build to make the armor with, and happened to find this . An entire vacuum formi...

That thing is big. It looks like the one they had at a packaging plant I used to work for. We would hook up a 500lbs roll of plastic and let it run.

I still haven't done that yet.

Looking good! Now get down and get dirty! Dirty.... as in weather it up!

So... if someone grabs your gaffi stick... Who's going to chase it down for you?

I have those same lights that are pictured on the safety glasses but mine make a blue light. I thought they only came in blue and red. I wonder how they got orange?

I don't even think it cost me $50.00 and took about 4 hours or so to build my sisters jawa.

I should have made a tutorial
