Great Lakes Garrison & Base

Greetings! I'm just a short drive away in Freeland.
Best of luck with the build. Come hang out with us/say Hi at the Loons Star Wars night!!!

So back in January I won a prototype, original drawing by Christian Waggoner (he does the amazing "Reflections" Star Wars art). It's an amazing piece with a reflection of Rey in Bb8s lens. Because of secrecy and contracts he could not reveal that it was the basis for his exclusive celebrat...

Hey there...I sent you a message. You are right in my neck of the woods. We have a wonderful group of members all within 30 minutes of your locations. As others have stated, take things a step at a time and put the numerous sources of information that are available to use. Some incredible forums and...

Not at all...just have to be prepared for all scenarios. Gets mighty cold in the Endor forests at night.

Agreed on the foam. I just bought foam from Joanns, then I cut/hollowed out areas within the block of foam. One side is hollowed out for my amp and the other has enough room for cards, phone, granola bar, small bottle of fireball whiskey for cold forest nights etc

I saw your post on bikerscout.net as well. I posted there in response also. Tons of help and resources available and not to mention a "getting bigger by the day" detachment of scouts right here in your own backyard. Look for Pandatroopers thread on bikerscout.net. It's top notch and one of...

Also, we're near each other, if you need a hand or want to check out how I did something just holler. Awesome to have you in the fold soon.

It will not affect it per the Pathfinder CO. Doesn't mean it won't someday change but Def will not be anytime soon.

Hey all...I'm working on an Imperial Crewman outfit to take to Anaheim. I'm never quite sure what some of you craft, etc. There are sources on the Imperial forums but thought I'd ask here as I'd certainly rather deal with someone in our area when possible. At any rate, if any of you produce these dr...

Crazy Dan is in as well. Have to be pool ready for April. While I never regained all of the weight I lost it has slowly started to creep back. I'm at 219 today. I always enjoy using my fitbit and the myfitnesspal apps. My youngest son Gage (who many of you know) has his first "official" bo...

Of note..It just recently came to light that the TD hose..is actually not a hose at all. It's an inner tube with some sort of cable (telephone/wire type) wrapped around it to give the impression of what we all currently have (the vacuum hose type look). The exact cable type has yet to be determined.

You had me at "screen accurate strapping"...drop me a line. Lots of new info coming out of the EX camp also as they have had a ton of access to the scout props of late.

I spent a ton of time researching, reading the forums, and interacting with varied dealers when I was working on mine. I also have quite a bit of extra material for some little things you may need and could avoid purchasing. IMO...the very first step to inquire about or work towards is the soft good...

Lord Vader (Squadleader) and I in a heated battle. I actually sent some pics of us playing (this was at a charity event) to Fantasy Flight and they had at one time used them on their page.

Thought I'd check in and see how people are doing with their health challenges. I started posting in this thread a little over 2 years ago and I'm happy to say that I'm kept my weight off, integrated some form of fitness into my daily routines, and generally made some lifestyle changes that have bec...

I'm extremely happy with my Studio Creations stuff. The maker (Jeff) is a heck of a nice guy also. Should you have any need for biker scout info drop me a line. WWW.Bikerscout.Net is the end all be all of info relative to scouts.

Good luck with everything.

I know changing eating routines can be really difficult. Hang in there. One of the biggest things that I've learned to do is simply plan, plan, plan. I've gotten into a habit of pretty much setting up my entire days meals and snacks the night before. The benefit is 1) You will establish a good eatin...

Just an absolutely awesome post Rome...thank you. I work at a hospital and they have a machine that is used for ventilated patients to determine their BMR in order to adjust tube feeds. They were offering it to employees for a fee in order to provide very accurate data as to BMR. I didn't feel like ...

Lookin good buddy...can't wait to celebrate with ya in the near future. Awesome work.

Awesome job of getting back into it. You can do it. I'm no fitness expert but over the last 15 months I've found some things that really work well and certainly things that don't. When it comes to exercises everyone is certainly different. I've become a big believer in whole body type exercises. Whi...
