As some of you already know, this past weekend marked the 25th Anniversary of Trek Fest in Riverside Iowa. To celebrate this milestone along with the achievement of "Star Trek Canon" status (for the town of Riverside) thanks to the new Star Trek film, Trek Fest invited three major Star Trek actors t...

Congratulations Jim! I know I've told you that already on the other board, but I thought it was time to check in on you and make sure you weren't getting into trouble and that these guys don't go too hard on you during the initiation ritual. *whispers to the others: just kidding, give him the "spec...

There is only one TK-118....




But I'm sure there are plenty of numbers left over.

Oh yeah.......Jim, if I didn't already warn you....these guys/gals are a bunch of smart@$$3$......

...............so you should fit in nicely.

Seriously though I'm glad to see you in here, and I can't wait to Troop with you!
*salute*

I recently purchased a full set of black abs plastic stormtrooper armor from a local kid. The armor was only worn once and is fully assembled. I bought it with the intention of repainting it white to better serve the Empire but have not yet found the right paint to use. If any one is interested in ...

...with the HUGE Parade crowd all along the 1 mile path . Thanks for inviting us Kevin! :D It was a pleasure, I really think we were a big hit! However I DO think it was more like 2 miles :lol: 8) And as always it was an honor to Troop with my MWG nieghbors! Especially since you guys helped break m...

Cool! I may have to give your method a shot, that looks pretty easy and the result looked really nice. Thanks!

Im pretty sure those can be made with prescription lenses.

Very true, they also make perscription safety glasses that wrap like that for for factory work and such.

Just use some of the extra ABS plastic that comes with your kit and make little shims to push back the point where your helmet liner's front clips attach I've worn my glasses in my bucket before with no problem...except for fogging up, but that can be overcome with a little Rain-X anti fogger (but l...

Howdy Brent,

If you were at the Heart Of An Empire premiere I may have already met you, but I hope to troop with you all-official-like soon!

Hello to you all from the uk. just wanted to say hello and introduce myself "vaderlady". Im a member of the uk garrison at home but for some reason don't ask I cant get access, so I thought I'd try another garrison if nothing else I get to talk starwars and make a few new friends from across the wa...

Glad to have you as a new nieghbor, I'm in the Central Garrison but I live very close to MWG territory
so I will probably bump into you before too long.
Welcome to the neighborhood.

Short Trooper.

Don't sweat it, not all of us were cloned to be standard issue size.
I'm about standard height but I'm a whole lot meatier than your average TK .

I know I can't wait to get it and see it. THe Blaster is a Hasbro one I hope to modify to be like an E-11. I have seen kits on Ebay to do it. Has any one else done thins and is it easy to do? ShortTrooper. I have seen some very good hasbro-mods with those kits, especially if you weight the handle d...

Since when did you need a mind to crush a windpipe? A bat works just as good! I was thinking a boot heel or the butt of an E-11, but yeah a bat works too :twisted: . Here is my take on the movie (I loved it!) HoaE is a great movie that I could show to family, friends, and others to explain WHY i sp...
