Don't forget us for Labour Day weekend. FanExpo in Toronto, 4 day event, and it's a big one. Last year we had a TK march of 20+ Stormtroopers, we're hoping it'll be bigger this year. Mark your calendar for,it, it's an awesome event to join in on.

 

Can look it up, they've already started announcing Guests for it.

Tell you what Dan, if I can convince the Emperor the next time we come out to Ontario - I will try and time it right - bring all my armor and do a Troop with you guys - that would be a stellar experience.

 

I wanted to do the same thing when we go to Anaheim in October - I want to try and get badges from all the Garrison's I've travelled to.

 

Unfortunately due to being over budget I won't be able to do this year but still looking to meet some 501st kin when we go back to Disneyland - fingers crossed -

 

I wonder if there's a garrison outside of Cancun - gonna have to check the map.

Really, what needs to happen is another one of these:

Aaron did you just call your wife the Emperor?

Aye, I did

[Pyrates[TK]]

In fairness she's much better looking and much more forgiving but don't incur her wrath lol.

I missed our badge run by two weeks....BUUUT was able to pick up some anyways the guy in charge of our merch had ordered a bunch more..

 

I'm pretty sure if I let my partner know that I compared her to the emperor she really would shoot lightning out of her fingers...

Started ugh painting again and made it as easy as possible so I wouldn't botch it.

 

Using the AP decal outlines I re-purposed them as templates and began painting. Let them sit for about 3-4 minutes then removed the make-shift templates - worked pretty good imo

Airwolf was good but Macgyver will always be my favorite!

My emperor has a strong force pull with any of my imperial credits. My padawons also take up a lot of those credits too! 

[Pyrates[TK]]

Right then Shin Closures.

 

They are still being secured but I thought I would get the jump on getting them in the thread.

 

Here is the problem:

There is a gap in the closure that did not close up when I tried Velcro and I was confident that hooks and elastics would do nothing to close it up either.

 

So I have decided to try zippers and design them similar to a wet suit so there is a draw tag to pull the zipper up (leftover bungees from my neck seal.
