Hey!!!!! You found me! I’m also an AP Stunt Centurion with a Quest Canada blaster. I will happily sew you your seal. Shipping is $2.10 Canadian I think. I’ll message you privately for details. Good luck with your build... (from what I have seen, you don’t need luck. You are doing quite well!) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

(You aren’t cheesy. It is special. I believe all things we do is special. The interaction. The fellowship. Friendships. Love of costuming. Giving of ourselves. Passion of the hobby. Making people happy. Especially being that special character for a sick or struggling youngling or grown up. It IS special!!! And I’m so happy you are embarking on this journey with the rest of us!)

Hello future Silver Sister!!! My lady is a KB Props and he indeed is all caught up from the past back order nightmare and making armor again for sale for new customers. I will personally vouch for this as I moderate Kevin’s KB Props sales page alongside him. I help Kevin and Jsin the best I can and see every message going in and out. They’ve done amazing and did not give up. EVERYONE that remained on that list DID get their armor. It’s very exciting to see that happen. We are trying to get him organized and premaking kits up for sale so he can join the vetted armorer list. You’ll not have any issue getting a set of armor if KB is where you hope to purchase from. As for your build, if you need any help or info, please do not hesitate to ask or message me. I will certainly do my best for you. If I can’t help you, I’ll find you someone that can. Good luck!!! Welcome to the forum! Build Sister build!!!! [emoji175] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I traveled 5.5 hours one-way to participate in this troop. For many reasons. First off, it was an annual event in honor of a sweet little boy taken way too early from Leukaemia. That used to love to ride his bike. This is one way his family has honoured his life. Second, because it was a fundraiser put on by teenagers aged 15-18 in grades 10-12 (my sons age group) not only did they raise money for Spenser’s Fund, but were encouraged to choose the charity of their choice, and support that. Thirdly, one of our Garrison members teaches at this high school, and has been on a trooping hiatus for a good many year due to severe health issues and life. It was a last minute request, and I wanted him to know that he was an important part of our Garrison and I went to support his return to trooping. Fourthly, I missed my TK Twin, Brother, and other Garrison Family I’m just so far away from. Fifth, I was asked to do temporary body tattooing on the children while they weren’t currently on their bikes. I volunteered my time. (In my free time, when I’m not sewing, I do body art) I stayed after our nights troop and did art in the wee hours of the am. I can’t even begin to imagine the kilometres I’ve put on my vehicle to troop! Every mile worth it. Smiles For Spenser is a 24 hour Bike A Thon where teams must keep their bike in motion at all times. It was created in honor of the youngling and his battle through his illness. Countless moments spent in a chemo therapy room. The funds generated go to purchasing a gift package for every child as they begin their horrifying journey in that room. It’s full of presents. Activities. Books. Blankets. Toys. You name it, it’s in there. Given in the hopes to lift their spirits and keep their thoughts occupied during treatment. I can identify with this, having been my younger Sisters chemo partner during each of her treatments over the 2.5 years she fought for her life. I know how important it is to keep those you love uplifted. And focused elsewhere during those times. I’ve volunteered many many hours to strangers in those chemo rooms. Both my Sister, and Spenser lost their fight against the cancer that ravaged their bodies. What these teenagers were doing for others was important to me. Well worth the 11 hours of driving to support them as they biked through the night. I appreciated the ability for the teens to also choose a charity that meant something to them personally. I strongly believe in teaching our youth the value and power of giving of yourself for no other reason than love or compassion. Unconditionally. From the heart. There were 200 children there at this event giving of themselves in the hopes to make a difference. I really wanted this event to be supported. So before it even came across our forum boards, I personally messaged members. Asking them if they could be free and join the few of us already committed to being there. We trooped in 2 shifts with a break in between while a band played. Where we snacked, visited, laughed. 14 of us made it out that night on only 3 days notice. To support Teacher/member Greg, and the children. And the event. These teens raised $25,000 this year. I commend their efforts. I can’t state this enough- I love my Garrison Family with all my heart. They really are a great group of individuals full of compassion and caring. Moments like this make me want to shout out loud how special these moments are, how great these humans are, and how grateful I am to have experienced and shared this with others. Why I’ve chosen the 501st Legion as the Organization I give my spare time to, as well as the nerdy family known as the Badlands Garrison of which I’m proud to belong to.

What a glorious way to spend our Canadian Family Day! Traveling to Edmonton for armor party and visiting with Garrison Family. Spending time with our youngling Declan/TK 11, more armor building, to be followed up with a massive troop at Edmonton’s WHL Oil Kings team. Member from each of our areas Sister groups were in attendance together to make this event memorable for all attendees. Mandalorian Mercs-Hett’ciri Clan, Rebel Legion-Outrider Base , Saber Guild- Echo Base Temple and 501st- Badlands Garrison infiltrated Rogers Place for an afternoon of Imperial Galactic proportions! Besides there being close to 40 of us there, and it was epic awesomeness at its finest, I was acutely aware that each of us were giving up our Family Day with our biological families, to share it with our Legion and Star Wars Family that we volunteer with, and others there to watch hockey as families. It really was a beautiful troop. We had downtime between each period where we could visit, laugh, change costume, share space and stories. I trooped with my Brother. And we commented on how special this Family Day was. To see all the groups out together at this big event, and how wonderful to see everyone missing one another. Hugging. Laughing. We really are a close garrison, and closely linked to the members in our Sister clubs. For that, I’m so grateful. I like that we each have our individual clubs we choose to be a part of, but cherish the fact that we really are close. And happy to troop together. Happy to be together! My Star Wars Family. Is like the houses of Hogwarts. You belong to your house yes. You attend the school together. But stay in separate areas when it’s time for bed or quidditch. You respect one another. All magical and amazing. And can function as a united entity, while maintaining individuality. Mmmm Star Wars magic. We make it everywhere we go. I see it daily and am in awe of its sheer power... All of us together on Family Day truly was a perfect way to spend the day. No more rambling. Glen, here’s that report I promised!

Husband and wife TKs out on their first troop with the Garrison Our Saber Guild Family Our lone Mando Open the Blast Doors! Younglings! Snacking HA! Will Pretty serious business! Such a big elevator!

Special features info Canon shots which I drew reference from for cape and proof of TD details. On the short side of cape is also a 1-1 1/8” seam to match red stripe side. For the cape attachment and details, Please look closely here. There is a tiny acorn nut and bolt that I’m sure attached through the Armor to keep cape in place. Also allowing the full side to swing forward and back with ease. Without choking her Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh Rat you’d have loved to see him! He was SO proud! Of course I cried. At one point once he was all dressed, he raised his arms over his head and yelled excitedly!!!! Oh yes little TK.... I know what feeling! Ugh. Instant tears! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good grief!!!!! I haven’t logged on and reported since forever!!!! You know... I truly think of it all the time, just never seem to write it down. I keep saying I’ll get better... hahahahaha I’m just the worst! So!!!! Here goes! All the reasons why I joined this Legion of “Bad Guys Doing Good” are right here in these photos. I’ve posted about this youngling before. We met Declan for his 6th birthday Sept 2016. I was 1 of 4 TK’s able to attend this day in hospital. We knew his odds and they weren’t good. Declan had a rare adult form of Leukaemia needing a stem cell transplant, of which a proper match could not be found. Even with a donor, his odds were horrifying. We became his troopers. His support. His Garrison. He believes we are real. All of us. Many times during his treatments, he was close to giving up. Sometimes he couldn’t eat. Couldn’t speak. Was done. I could see it in his eyes. Often, the only thing that could get him to respond was the messages. Pictures. Letters. I’ve wrote about this before. We created a FB page for Declan a while back, and so many of you all over this Galaxy, wrote him. Sent him encouragement. Shared yourself with him. Sent gifts. Went out of your way to cheer his day. Some of you from Florida shared time with him. You cannot know what this has meant to him. To his family. To so many of us. As some of you know, our Garrison created him his own set of armor, graciously donated and gifted to him from Walt’s Trooper Factory, of which we presented to him just before he left for his transplants. Making him an honorary member in our Garrison as TK-11. Going by the name of Yoshucksrooper. He was not able to wear it until recently. Upon a visit a couple months ago, I discovered that he couldn’t fit it. And he so desperately wished to wear it. Unbeknownst to members at an Armor Party today, Declan was invited to join us and Garrison members worked together in his armor to be certain he could troop. Though He still has many obstacles to overcome, and is still fighting for his life, his spirit is amazing to witness. Out of all that happened today, Declan remembered that we had tucked a special coin in his drop box. He dug it out, and wanted to have his first coin challenge. A couple of us had instructed him on what he needed to do, and he approached our CO / TK-12175 and slapped his coin down on the table. Of course coins came out of all corners of the room, and not only did this youngling wear his armor with pride, but he felt part of the new family he had been desperately wishing he could join. Complete with a coin challenge!!!! It was a celebration of many things this evening. Friends. Family. Love. Legion. Beauty. Struggles we overcome. A celebration of Life. A young life. In his eyes and smile, standing there in that little white set of armor, in that room, was all the reasons why I joined this Legion. A very clear reminder of the things that matter most. I love my Garrison Family. They really are incredible humans. I’m grateful to the Legion, this Detachment, and my ability to be a member of the 501st. Without them, I’d never have met these people, built and worn my white TK, nor met this little boy. I just wanted to share that with you. With pride and a happy heart, TK-41307/SoulArt/GeekyPink Badlands Garrison Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey Silver KB Sister!!!! Geeky Pink here! I love seeing these build threads! Thank you for expressing your fears. It’s a hard daunting build. Takes patience and time. I commented on SharkBaits as well. I will mirror what I left there. If you need any help at all in construction and assembly, please reach out. I have appx 1000 pics you can Reference from , and am willing to go through pieces step by step with all of you if you need. I’m not kidding. Ask. I’ll whip out my armor for you too and take pics as needed. Over the next month in between sewing, I will try to post up all my pics of armor parts in a thread per section of body. With text of what was done. Kinda like a post build revisited thread. I just need a bit of time to get that going. And other things are taking precedence. So individual help is all I can securely offer right now. If you need anything, I am here. [emoji175] Teresa/SoulArt/TK-41307/GeekyPink Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
