Brattie[TK] Posted February 7, 2017 Author Report Posted February 7, 2017 Thank you everyone for cheering me on over the past while. I am so grateful for all of your input and encouragement. I have achieved EIB status when I wasn't sure I could. I know now though that Centurion is too far out of my reach as I must take into account limitations physically that require my gear to fit me a certain way so that my movement isn't further limited. It's a bit of a pill to swallow in accepting that but it won't decrease the enjoyment I take when I wear my gear and it doesn't hurt or hinder me. I provided a bit more of an explanation on the EIB forum. The past 9 years have not been easy on me but I have endured and taken on most challenges.. I am happy with where I am.. I have two sets of gear that fit me well and are comfortable.. mostly.. Still working on a Jawa mask that doesn't melt my face over time. Laugh. I look forward to continuing to enjoy my time in my gear and have fun with those around me. Thank you all so much for all of your support! 1 Quote

ComradeDave[TK] Posted March 13, 2017 Report Posted March 13, 2017 Sorry I've been absent Angie. Awesome Job! You came such a long way in this build really proud of you!. Quote
Brattie[TK] Posted March 30, 2017 Author Report Posted March 30, 2017 Well, I guess it's time for checking in... All going well, lots of stuff.. elections blah blah blah.. I lead a few people on a march at ComicCon. was fun. Been working on a droid and trying to make progress on that. Overall I have some tweaks to do on my armor again, seems an never ending thing. Taking most of April off trooping as I know I'll have a busy May. Anyway.. is what it is. Quote
Brattie[TK] Posted April 19, 2017 Author Report Posted April 19, 2017 It's amazing you know... just how great some people are.. I'm doing a MSE Droid build and I've had some great help from some local guys with 3-D printing some things for me and offering help. More so than that though is a great man in the USA that realized how difficult it is for Canadians with the exchange rates to complete builds within a reasonable budget and sent me a whole bunch of chips that I need for completing the side panels. I had planned to buy them off him, but they just arrived one day. Dutifully I contact him and asked what I owed him.. he didn't wish payment and wished me luck in my build. It just goes to show what an awesome bunch of people we have and that the support is there. If you can't find it, you aren't looking in the right places. Every place has it's pros and cons.. live with the pros and let the cons disappear. I am coming up on my 38th troop and it looks to be a fun one. At Toronto Comic Con I even lead a march as a handler. An interesting experience I tell ya. It is a busy con so when I wanted to go for a walk I talked to command and one of the great marchers of past troops took me on a march around the con. He took the time to show me where to stop, and how to handle the crowds as well as manage our guys. It was an awesome experience and I enjoyed soon after taking a bunch on a walk through the con... I did get a little guff for saying "PLEASE MAKE WAY FOR THE EMPIRE!!" because I was too polite.. but meh.. I am Canadian so that should speak for itself. LOL Not in me to be rude.. but I enjoyed being loud and watching the seas of people part as I lead Vader, two troopers and a gunner through the Con. I've spent the last month more focused on building my MSE Droid. I am modelling some of the things after the Robot Chicken MSE Droid. That's right I created through "felting" a mouse and built armor for him and a little pilot seat and cockpit. I want to have a small flap that I can lower via remote to show off all the lights and mouse. Chuckles.. See below for the idea.... Well, that's all for now.. Be safe and have fun! 1 Quote
Brattie[TK] Posted July 13, 2017 Author Report Posted July 13, 2017 Enjoying the new site but have had issues with Photobucket so I'm not going back through the pages and updating every single picture.. so if anyone wants to see something please let me know and I'll repost it after this so you can see what I've done etc. Such a huge let down but a site.. alas.. I miss you all and am still trooping like crazy.. just passed 1 year and am almost at 50 troops.. whohooo.. some big ones coming up. 1 Quote
Brattie[TK] Posted September 21, 2017 Author Report Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) Lots of trooping fun at Fan Expo Toronto 2017. That's me making the fist! We were just about to be inspected by Lord Vader. Oh.. did I mention I kissed R2-KT? Yep, the famous little droid was visiting us in Canada and I spent a load of time with the Handlers and chatting. I even escorted R2-KT for some TV news spots along with some of her friends. Was so awesome to see her and get to know those that look after the little droid. R3 was also with her and I was able to drive R3 around a bit. It was a blast. If you are wondering who that is kissing the wall in the background that's our current CO. Laughs. oh.. and this happened!! Yes.. that's C3PO... I'm making progress on the MSE Droid as well!! So yeah.. still motoring.. I'm approaching around 320 hours in my armor and have a few things to repair. Need to always watch the snaps and such, as well as wear around the rim of the bucket under the seal.. it can crack.. I have one small crack I need to repair there from taking the bucket on and off. Nothing spectacular, just some little minor maintenance. It was said when I first started that I'd get to around 400 hours and then would need to do a little work and so far it seems to be true. I do need to touch up my paint, but I do like being able to spot myself in a group of TKs because of my buttons! Laugh Well that's all from my little neck of the woods up North. My thoughts are with all those facing yet another hurricane and those that are dealing with the earthquake.. it seems like the end is near, but there is light ahead. (hopefully) Rebellions are built on Hope, but I'm not a rebel... I know, sometimes I say stuff in Alderaan places. ~Brattie.. out ~ Edited September 21, 2017 by Brattie 1 Quote
