Hey Dee Oh

Quick question for yas. Do any of you know where to find 1/4" to 3/8" wide masking tape. I've seen it used on Car/motorcycle customizing Shows. But for some reason I can't seem to find any locally.

Any ideas?

Try Automotive Color Supply on Groesbeck in Roseville. They carry bodyshop supplies. I get most of my stuff there.

Alrighty Now.

I think I'm ready to take my submission pictures.

Is it possible to get a hand from the Experts? Please NOTE: I'm trying to butter you up :lol: I promise to use REAL Butter to/too/tutu.


Thanks

Well well well, I didn't expect this...

I have been posting my WIP on clonetrooper.net, Rebel Legion's clone board, and the RPF. I had this reply waiting for me on the RPF after I posted pics from the Henry Ford Tinker Event.

It's from the gentleman that first did the Old Rex Armor for San Diego Comic Con this past year. I appreciate your comments, hearing it from the guy who first did the armor feels good.

Chopper was built by one of the R2-Builders group members from Michigan.

After I'm done my Novatrooper medic I know what I'm going to do. Build R2 of my own so I can joke around that I found the droids we were looking for XD

After your first or second troop you'll never want to hear that phrase again!

Second only behind the line “aren’t you a little short for a Stormtrooper”, which seems to be almost the only line from Star Wars the general public remembers. :roll:

Start saving up. Kurt spent $3,000 on his. Flash spent about $5,000 on his. I heard it can go as high as $15,000.

ARGH

I'm in the most torturous part of the approval process. Waiting for the email stating, something, anything. I'm checking the same stack of SPAM 20 plus times a day thinking that I somehow overlooked it.

So odds on which comes first... Rebel Legion reply or Anovos Shipping notice?

I know that feeling... I hate it. I keep checking my emails for any replys. Proto I hope you get in. As soon as you find that email please tell us the answer! I'm excited for you that you actually are doing this! I would be scared to send in armor pics to see if requirements have been met.

Also sorry guys I didn't relise the droid line was so hated among the legion so my apologies.
