IL – Oswego/60543 – Birthday Party - Sat 8/16/14

This party was a blast and the kids had a great time at this birthday! A piñata was also part of the party and we were invited to take a few whacks at it after the kids had their turn—this however proved to be an industrial grade piñata and it took Kim’s wood gaffi stick to tear it apart. http://i12...

IL - Aurora - The Orchard Community Church 7/12-13/14

Saturday night’s service I went solo as Vader and “delivered” lines from a skit that the gentleman (Adam) doing announcements and I worked up using a Vader soundboard found online. It was difficult to understand and so they were completely cut for the Sunday morning service at 10am to which Steve M....

Re: IL-Joliet/60431 - Joliet library Star Wars Day V- Sat 6/

This was indeed one incredible event! There were so many happy kids and families there this year and so many new faces from everywhere. I met a gentleman with his son who went through the trouble of renting a car to drive out specifically for this event from Chicago because he saw the booth at C2E2 ...

Re: IL- Geneva/60134 - Kane County Cougars - Fri 5/2/14

It was a lot of fun as a Tusken and I can't wait to finish it up with the outer robe, though I could go as a Bantha Rider. :wink: I just hope that the August game has really nice weather as there didn't seem to be a whole lot of people at the stadium this time. Too bad about the rain, though we did ...

I don't know how that's possible at this point as he gave the painting to Kevin Sandstrom, the Blick store manager. . . .

I would have loved to be there...as soon as someone figures out cloning...I'll be all set.. This was another great event for a worthy cause. Anyway....you were invited to this event so any funds raised qualify as indirect funds... so... IF there was fundraising involved and if you can get an approx...

IL – JOLIET "I'm Possible 5k Memorial Run/Walk"

Last year, a young man by the name of Nicholas Veghts passed away from his battle with Leukemia. A good friend of mine (Kevin Sandstrom who was also there at the event), and the manager at Blick Art Materials in Wheaton contacted me to see if we would be able to come out to the memorial walk this ye...

Re: The Daft Trooper - 9336 takes on Daft Punk!

Now you just have to learn how to mix on 2 turntables and really be able to sell it! You have to enter some costume contests with this and have a Daft Punk DJ table set up for the "show".

Hi strwrsgeek241! My name's Jim and I live over in Aurora, and I'm also the XO of the Sith Lord Detachment. I have an ANH Vader and spent a good 2 1/2 years (yes, years !) on the build along with around $1700 to put it all together. I did a lot of buying/selling/upgrading certain parts along the way...

Re: Building a RotJ Vader

Hey Matthew, good to see you on the MWG board (he's already on the SLD forum)!!! I remember my old childhood days running around with the Ben Cooper costume on thinking I was so incredibly awesome. :lol: Where in "Chicago" are you? We have several guys/gals in the downtown areas.

WOW!
This is an incredible build.
By the time it's finished though, people will be saying, "Daft who???". C'mon! Hurry up already—sheesh—you're taking forever! :lol:

Re: FS: SPFX ANH Vader Helmet

It's a real shame that you cut it apart. :( You may also want to note if all the parts are included from the ANH helmet (tusks, lens, mouth mesh) or if you also have all the additional parts to complete the reveal project. Good luck on the sale!
