Re: Signature and Avatar Pics

Imgur doesn't allow 3rd party hosting (What PB did, where you can embed pictures on forums, or host your sig file). The closest I've found for free is flickr, but you can't get img links via the mobile app - which sucks for me, I do 97% of my computing via phone. They do have img links via the full ...

Re: Impieral officer boot burying recommendation and rank badge

The IOC forum is an amazing resource, as Joe stated.
Stay tuned though, as we have several officers in the ranks who may chime in as well.

Good luck on your project. If you have any other questions don't hesitate to give me a shout!

Re: Rogue one TK?

It's possible those Jedha TKs could go M.E.P.D. as well.
I'll do some poking around on their boards, see if I can find anything.

Re: Tusken bandolier

Personally, I would be inclined to disallow a black bandolier. It might not be the against the letter of the CRL, but I think against the spirit of the CRL as we know the screen used parts were varying shades and tints of brown. I'd be curious what the RL opinion is on it. Are you doing an ANH or AO...

Now that I'm looking at it, it seems the only real difference between the Reserve Pilot and the Bridge Crew is the RP has gloves and the BC has belt boxes.

Re: Imperial bridgecrew

If you can sew at all, I bought 2 pair of Redkap coveralls, one for the costume and one to cut up for pockets, and made my TIE flightsuit.

Came in just over half of what the pre made suits run. Now I just need an officer hat and I can put in for reserve pilot.
