I feel like I can share some of these here now:

Thank you, Paul!

Thank you very much, Luca!

This is the trap I'll be fixing next. Left Tear Right Tear. Let me know what needs to be fixed (although, I think I see some spots on the photo that weren't apparent prior).

Congratulations Trooper

Congratulations on reaching Centurion-- well earned!

32. 29/04/2023 - FUENLABRADA - (MADRID) - EXPO. UNIVERSO STAR WARS - Stormtrooper ANH Stunt

Event: Purple Up Day Camp Date: 4/29/2023 Location: Lambeau Field, Green Bay, WI Troop 3

Location: Seattle WA Event: Yuri's Night Boeing Museum of Flight 2023 Date: 04-09-2023 Garrison: Titan Did a previous Yuri's Night as Vader and it was a ton of fun, but decided to white armor this one. It's a 'dance/night club event' that celebrates sci-fi and Yuri Gagarin's first spaceflight. The museum is really cool at night and a little surreal with all the people in various costumes. Group Photo, had a great set of the mud troopers, Scouts and Pilots! And some dirty rebel scum. Stuck with the Boss through most of the event. Also having a Vader it's good to watch his back, as TKs actually have much better vision than a Vader does. This was the Moon landing display room, and really felt like a "Star Wars" backdrop. The Museum Auditorium is quite a thing at night. We usually wrap up about the time people start drinking and dancing. Staying too long can get very weird real fast, so better to get out of kit and head home. I'm way too old for the night club stuff anymore. Bed is much more appealing.

Timnath Community Park Safety Fair Local law enforcement and safety agencies in the nearby areas. Lots of fun.

Yeah. My wife and I tried! Don't worry! I'm working on the fixes now. Sent from my SM-G781V using Tapatalk

Bit more work this week, though not as much. The hinge fits both the submicro and normal microswitch. They have a different feel to them. The submicro is very light but the standard is pretty solid. The front screw for the grip is just in the right spot to act on the micro switch. For the small switch an 8mm screw is about right but for the fill size the standard 6mm is the one you want. At least I think, I need to mount the hinge to the under barrel to be sure. The mounting is slightly different between the 2. Both use M4 grub screws, the smaller just one in the middle and on the larger 2 fit into the mounting holes on the microswitch. It's a little more visible than I'd like when the front grip is hinged down but given you'd probably be holding it I think it should be okay. Maybe swapping to a non-lever type could fix this, but may need a little "button" added to the grip. The screws will face "in" towards the body so even when hinged down they shouldn't be super obvious. I also hit a wall with the audio on my effects unit. Basically unless something is already playing the lag on DFPlayer Mini is far too long (between 0.5 and 2 seconds). I spoke with some one who knows what they're doing in this field and they said they spent ages trying to work around this a while ago and didn't find one either, so went another route. So another route is to be taken! I have picked out some new parts, which I have yet to order as they are a fair chunk more expensive than what I was using. Well the main board is about 8x what the nano clone costs, the audio board isn't actually too bad. News when I get further I suppose.

Thanks. Good information to know. I have been in contact with the supplier and am going to try a battery replacement first. I was able to find some on amazon that I can get in time but, as you mentioned, only time will tell if the new one is any better than the original. I am using the original mic and the recommended Acker amp. It worked a couple weeks ago when I gave it a try before coming up with the chest mounting I would use then a couple weeks later just the endless oddity with the operation. Bart

Looking forward to seeing the finish, it's all about the prep work

Wow so exciting for you, I'm looking forward to seeing some photos once you have it back

Just doing black on the inside won’t be enough to stop itch. I’d recommend hitting it up with 80, 100, 200, 400 sandpaper on the inside then use something like plastidip to coat the interior. That should help. It’s not fun work, but it is what I did with my armor when I built it. With the armor paint. Are you prepping it prior to painting? I ask because in its current form there’s lots of little pock marks and things that you’ll likely want to not have getting in the way of the paint process. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Location: Seattle WA Event: Emerald City Comic Con 2023 Date: 03-03-2023 and 03-05-2023 Garrison: Titan Emerald City Comic Con 2023 was held in the brand new Seattle Convention Center Expansion building. It was the first event ever held in that building. It's a great layout and FAR better than the older Convention Center. The old Convention Center was a bunch of hallways, escalators, and smaller rooms. The new building has LARGE concourses around the much larger rooms. Our space we pretty well situated and had a nice high ceiling and a 'backstage' area that was very open and cool. Did 4 days in the room, with as an Officer, TK and Vader. Was fun greeting the people coming though. We had lines out in the concourse that were really impressive! Was a surprising amount of Star Wars cosplay going on this year, which is really encouraging! Hopefully we did well on raising funds for Mary Bridge Children's hospital. Will know soon. Did a little roaming, but most of the time guarded the Throne (TK on the left of the picture). Was pretty fun standing still as people came in. Many were unsure if we were mannequins or actual people, so we let them guess a while and then would surprise them. Muahaha Had all types of characters come through. Occasionally the big boss would come around and check in.

with the black series out.... I thought I would drop in some pro photos of my cardinal.

This is how i did mine.. hope it helps (The scoop I took out of the left forearm was purely to aid movement... some do that, others don’t) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
