Great Lakes Garrison & Base

I really need to get working on a snow trooper... Start saving, but don't use Greg's as your cost baseline. He paid considerably more money to have RS build him the costume as opposed to the rest of the Snowy's around here who all built armor kits. To be honest I think that mine, once all is said a...

I will probably look like a ghost in mine because I am so small

Andy thanks for the tips. I had already requested no weathering to match everyone else. As for the mukluks yes they are included in that price, but I don't plan on using the ones they provide. I contacted an old hockey friend whose dad works for the Canadian military who is hooking me up with an un ...

Thanks for the heads up I will shoot him a PM

Did you get a kit from them, or hire them to build it for you like you did with your TK you got from them? They are making it as I am better at modifying costumes and my building skills are not super strong (I broke a lot of armor pieces my first go and don't trust myself lol) I was told March for ...

So this might come off as a surprise to some, but living in Michigan I have been bit by the snowtrooper bug lol. I just broke down and contacted RS about armor :thumbs: I will post pictures and such here once it arrives. Won't start work till my Muppet is 100% done. Oh and my butt plate too Mr. Fett...

Congrats Rob and best of luck in the upcoming season

Not sure I would actually do this (would need to get red armor or dye mine) but I love this idea as Deadpool is my favorite Comic Book Anti-Hero

Step 1: Stop your TK buttplate from hanging straight down the back of your legs.
Step 2: Everything else.

Agreed that does seem to be a problem

I have a helmetless kit sitting in my basement as well. Some of the parts are huge and I could definitely use some help with sizing. I am already starting work on the easier arms, shoulder bells etc.

That would be interesting

My thoughts exactly plus I could be a trooper with a lightsaber

Hello all, As some might know I have two armor kits, one complete as a ANH Stunt and one sitting in my basement waiting for work to be done. I toyed with selling it, but now have decided to make use of the armor :thumbs: Looking over the 501st costume reference page I think that I am going to shoot ...

Thanks Sleg

Toledo is not that far for me, happy to join when events come up. I will keep an eye on the Ohio Garrison event boards (once I get added as a 501st member). It was great to meet you as well. For GLG TOD is Lauren Lys as Mara and Greg Beers as TK.

I play the Fantasy Flight game Xwing Miniatures. Attached is a link to another thread on this board. There is a few of us that play. Also be sure to check out on facebook as there is a Xwing Miniatures Michigan Group (not affiliated with the 501st/ rebel legions). :thumbs: http://www.greatlakesgarri...

Like the idea, but we would need the permission from the city most likely to do this. Something tells me that a bunch of troopers walking around might look suspicious.

There is a good interest so I think this will happen. We just need to pick a place and time.

While randomly browsing Amazon today I came across this: http://www.amazon.com/Stormtrooper-Deluxe-Adult-Costume-X-Large/dp/B000W3QIW4/ref=sr_1_55_mc?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1412523557&sr=1-55 This looks like it came right off the set :roll: I am not even sure you can modify this for Legio...

These are fantastic!!
