    You rock, @Alay.

    I'll be returning for this!

    Pleasure to make your acquaintance. I'm currently working (albeit slowly) on a custom legacy Mando. Might I inquire what the difference is between the Mandalorian Protectors and the Mandalorian Mercs?

    2/18 works for me as well. Silver Lanes in East Hartford has not been loungified.

    Dang, it's my son's birthday, so I won't be able to attend. On the bright side, he told me he wants to watch Revenge of the Sith with me for his birthday movie night.

    Thanks. I planned on sanding around all the edges to smooth them out and get rid of the strings.

    Trying to follow up on my new year's resolution to work on my Mando armor. Question for those who've worked with sintra, is it a problem if the outer layer frays/peels along the edges, or can I slap some putty on those spots and sand it down?

    I want to go bowling! I'm good most nights except Wednesday/Thursday and 1/23 and 1/31.

    Presumptuously signing up for this in the hope that I get picked.

    Got my top coat of paint on, pulled of the tape and washed off the toothpaste.?? Still need to apply a blackwash to the exposed areas.?? A portion of tape ended up pulling up all the paint down to the primer on the front, so I'll need to redo that area.?? Thinking I might just apply the base silver and try to get it to look like a blaster hit.

    I've slifhtly modified my initial design, and have decided to go with a legacy armor design. ?? Making decent progress on the helmet.?? Applied base silver coat, added toothpaste for weathering effects, put on second gold layer, and now adding tape before applying the final black layer. ??

    Slow but steady progress here.?? Sanding, priming, sanding, painting, sanding.

    @Backpacks Got Jets updates on when/where to muster??? I'll probably be arriving closer to 1:00pm than 12:00pm.
  18. bsands
    @Backpacks Got Jets??still planning for a meetup on 5/22??? I'm hoping my NME props assassin bucket will arrive sometime next week so I'd have some actual work I could bring.
  19. bsands
    Would it be all right to arrive a little later (12:45 - 1:00)??? My kids each have sporting events that end around 12:00 so my wife and I each need to take one.
  20. bsands
    I can't make the gathering on 4/30, but if we're having the monthly zoom chat Tuesday night I'll try to join in so we can chat Mando supplies.

    So, using my son's design as a base, I made a few minor tweaks before arriving at something I wouldn't mine aiming for.
  22. bsands
    You can add me as a participant.?? One of the reasons I joined CTG was to meet/hangout with people and with only one year of trooping before covid hit i feel like I've really missed out.???? Even though I mamaged to put together a trooper costume I don't think my costuming skills are that great so I'll definitely be leaning on the group for assistance.???? Right now I'm thinking of a custom mando for MMCC approval.?? My son designed an outfit for me in Mando Creator, but I told him I might go in a different direction.
  23. bsands

    Another time, then.

    Looking forward to trooping with you, Jimbo!
