Been my designation since nov 2007. Ya want it? Will have to be a fight to the death

Got back on the wagon on the 9th of October, got my physical results a few days later. Few things were very high and had to get an ultra sound on my liver as well. Kinda gave me the scare I needed to get back on track. The new diet is a full 180° from what I am used to. Sux, but I have to do it.

I suppose I could resurrect this thread... I started my journey on Sept 12th. Started off at 232lbs with an almost 40 inch waist and a 2xl shirt. Mostly to fit my fat gut. I have since then cut my weight down from 232lbs to 208lbs and from a 2xl to a L/xl shirt pending on who the maker is. Working ...

Looks an @ss ton better! Now you willscare people.

It is a LONGGGGGG list of mods needed to fix a rubies Vader. More then not, most people end up selling and starting over. Many times when people would ask "What mods are needed" First step I have heard people say is put it back in the box and try to sell it. Go to the link Lumpy posted. Yo...

Lumpy is correct. The 501st and Rebel Legions are costuming clubs with no secondary mission, a side benefit of the club that is the charity work we do as a group. It's totally possible for a member to troop regularly and never help a charity depending on the events you do. Yep, Terrell is dead ball...

Want to begin building my 501st compliant rots darth vader costume and needed advice where to acquire the necessary pieces. Who is reputable to deal with? My first acquisition would be the helmet....where or who sells helmets and vader pieces? Any input would be appreciated.... For a ROTS Vader you...

He has been posting about getting it done this week, for some time now. Just asked if he was going to Dcon. Hope he is cause this will look good with some of the glg RE costumers.

Hyper should get this. Leather Jacket made by dudes at the link I posted

When it comes to peg or drywall. Ask your self this W.W.W.D what would wampa do?

That and if peg legs were ment to be used for big work loads, then why were drywall stilts made? DW stilts were made to be used for long periods of time. And to be easy for anyone to get the hang of it.

Go drywall

Join that forum and ask around. I am sure some people there make them.

Will be good to troop with my kids in place of those poorly trained Vau RC's.

Jabba, you could always sew cloth around thin leather or plastic so it holds its shape while still have the look u need

http://mercs.firespray.net/forum/index.php?board=85.0 Yep, Humper was right. Check out the link. It is the mandalorian merc forums crusader/neo_crusader armor forums. The type of costme the one you posted falls into merc wise. Keep in mind, this costme is not an off the shelf armor buy. You would ne...

Ya, Better listen to Wags, lady!

Not really drop'n the pounds. But I am feeling better (been doing p90x again) seem to have a wee bit more energy.

I know I should get back to running to help keep the pounds down. But do not feel like it. To d@mn cold out still and my knees will want to kick my arse.
