Old Rex Armor... Under Construction

[Proto]

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.

[Proto]

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 I promise to use REAL Butter to/too/tutu.


Thanks

[Proto]

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.

Michael - Looking excellent my friend and fellow Old Captain Rex!! You have done some amazing work there!

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.

Awesome!

[Proto]

And so it begins...

[Phantom Medic]

Man I hope you get in. Can you post a picture of you in the full costume? I want to see it

[Proto]

Ask and ye shall receive... eventually

[Phantom Medic]

That is really cool! Best Old Rex I've seen so far! Also chopper is an awsome touch. But that is sure to get into the leigon I think!

[Ripcode]

Hey Proto, your forum access has been upgraded. You should be able to see the event section.

[Phantom Medic]

So wait ripcode, is that why his color changed? Also Proto where'd you get the chopper build XD

[Mr Fett]

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

Yes

Yeah... because we've never heard "that" one before.....

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.

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?

[Phantom Medic]

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.
