Here's the best picture of Jim's wookiee ever

Did a full soft parts "test"... jumpsuit still needs it's second dye job to be a weathered Tan, but the hood should be about right at least

Please welcome our newest recruit, Nathan Philips aka @DemorKodiko??to the Connecticut Garrison forums! Nathan is from Groton, CT and is looking to build a Republic Commando Grunt / Niner! ?? Nathan, please be sure to ask any questions you might have, familiarize yourself with our Imperial Protocol, and be sure to set up a build thread in our Costume Building section so we can follow along with your progress!

It depends on the event.?? Usually we have dedicated wranglers that are other members, but sometimes those are friends and family as well.?? If you are bringing a friend/family to the event that wants to act as a wrangling, please let us know ahead of time!?? We'll definitely put them to work, but we also need to know they'll be present for event management For more information, check out this post!???? ?? ??

Hi Jim! MikeR is correct, the new posts aren't being automatically mirrored.?? The new forums should be tapatalk enabled, but if you're not getting notifications on new content there may still be an issue.?? Please let me know if it persists and I can look into it

Great job Dennis!!!

@Astraline??Joan!?? Do you have rubber handguards??? If not, I'm about to cast a whole bunch, I'll give you two pairs for free! ?? Also, not for higher level approvals, but for sanity when trooping... get Nomex Flight Gloves in black!?? Here's ones I bought, but they're also on amazing:????https://www.ebay.com/itm/NOMEX-FLIGHT-GLOVES-PILOT-FIRE-RESISTANT-Black/181948411804?hash=item2a5cf86f9c:m:m4Ln3IG0_IrwFDTpV09CJVw They breathe, feel nice, and you can even get pairs that work with smartphones.?? I use these for trooping, they're BASIC approvable (you'll still need the rubber for EI/Centurion, which you're doing right right? ??)

Please join me in a huge congratulations to Jan Abustan, ID??37777, on approval of his Staff Officer costume! ?? Fantastic job, and I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say I can't wait to see it in action!

While the event will run from 10-4, we do not expect characters to be available for the duration. We can discuss how long and what time the two character photo op blocks will be. We'll have a designated changing area and lunch for everyone once again, and we respectfully request that all characters be PG as this is a family event.My Comments:?? Our contact has put this request in really far in advance so we've got plenty of time to schedule it; I'll be looking to confirm or deny our participation in February or so. This year we split the day into 2 appearance blocks and an extended lunch break, so I'll work out something similar for 2018. I really really enjoying doing this last time and I hope we can appear again Topic is for discussion of event.??
