Great Lakes Garrison & Base

Well I'm starting my path down to the dark side......finally.



I'm hoping to getting the cloth parts done during my down time over X-mas holidays. And maybe posting on here might help me finish faster.

Every journey needs a start...
Polar Fleece, needs to be dyed to look dirty.

Cool Andy!!!!!!! I dont have much XP in the snow trooper field, but someone else mentioned a armor party and I might try to do one after the first of the year. I will keep you updated!!!

There's been a few Snowtroopers floating around Michigan over the years. Not sure how many are left, though. Good project, especially with this weather!

after trooping at the xscape con i am seriously thinking that a snowtrooper is next for me.

I thought you just had a really great tan for an Irishman, especially with a last name like O'Hnui.

I have the pants now...

Boy, haven't we all been THERE.... why did everybody suddenly get quiet?

Hey Andy,

I had a set of Snowtrooper Armor, I can help you with whatever you need.

There's a full suit for sale right now on the RPF: http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=53996

I'll be keeping an eye out for any additions to this thread, along with the PROUD announcement of an upcoming armor party, because this is ideally the costume I wish to begin my trooping run with.

Yep, I wanna be part of the "cool kids" group, for a change!

What is the best way to attach the straps to the armor?

15 more days left to finish....

snaps with industrial velcro around them. best of both worlds that way

Got my boots last week, they definitely have that weathered look, and some permanent mark on them for some reason, not sure why, but somebody put a green mark on the top of the boot and a big D on the side of one of them. Hopefully it'll come of with a little elbow grease.

I have the same big D on my muk-luks. If you figure out a way to remove it, let me know!

Theres a automotive product called bleechwhite made by wesley's that works really well on vinyal tops and such, I'll give that a try and let you know.

Have you tried denatured alchohol?
