Re: New Recruit Reporting For Duty!!

Welcome! For some, choosing your character is the hardest choice but, as previously mentioned, you don't have to stop at just one! I'm a biker scout... chosen just because I absolutely loved the troopers in Return of the Jedi. And, you know... speeder bikes are pretty cool. Let us know if you need a...

Re: Attn: Biker Scouts

I checked the fit this morning, and unfortunately, the groove on the detonator is only about an inch tall. Now that I think about it, I think MonCal or Studio Creations mentioned retooling their detonator mold to accommodate the proper greeblie. :? I may try using some putty to fill the groove in o...

Re: TEOD Jodo Kast WIP

Wow, that's awesome! Are you using 123D Design to make the models or does Shapeways have their own program they use? I've used 123D Design before as well as Photoshop and Blender, but 123D Design is the easiest way I found to make designs automatically watertight with manifolds. Anyway, great job. Y...

Re: ERROR's ANH Stunt Stormtrooper Build

Awesome! Getting the armor is always the best part. Can't answer the stormie specific questions (like which limbs are which), but as for the dimples and bumps, that sounds like the result of the casting process (or could've been subjected to heat somwhere along the way?). If the dimples aren't that ...

Re: Hi from Naperville!

Yea, I saw you there! I think I was taking a quick water break at that time. Hydration is key to trooping success!
I think you're like the second or third recruit who posted this week from Naperville so you're definitely not alone. Perhaps an armor parts is in order...?

Hey, Chills! Nice to meet you... again! I was actually at the Cantigny Toys For Tots event on Sunday... were you wearing a Boba Fett hoodie...? I was the scout trooper with the Santa hat on. I'm glad you had a great time at the event and am thrilled you decided to join the 501st. As for the uniform,...

Hello and welcome! You're in Naperville? I'm right around there too! Let me know if you need any supplies (I've got some extra clips, snaps, and fabric) :wink: I found this company on whitearmor.net, can I assume that what I will be getting will be acceptable to join the Midwest Garrison? After all,...

Re: new milwaukee member here....

Hey there! I think your feeling is completely normal. When I was working on my scout armor, I was terrified about cutting into the plastic (worried about cracking it). When you spend a lot of money on something like that, you don't want to break it! My advice would be to just mark everything out, me...

Re: Newly Approved Scout Trooper in IL

Hey, Brian! Thanks for your help on the 501st forums... I got a hold of both Legion members you suggested and they were very helpful. I look forward to seeing you in future events! (I did sign up for the SW Reads Day, but I guess we don't have an event coordinator yet...?)

Hey, Woulf,
I'm in the Naperville/Bolingbrook area, so not too far away from you in Montgomery/Oswego. Thanks for the links... I took a look and I'm going to try and jump on as many as I can!

Re: Newly Approved Scout Trooper in IL

Hello! If you check the forums as you are upgraded to 501st MWG membership you'll see the Event's area where you can sign up for events. Also what area if Illinois are you in? I know sometimes that helps with getting word to/from on where a member is located. :bucketsoff: See you on the field Biker...

Hello! I just received my letter of approval for my scout trooper and am now a full-fledged 501st member!
