  1. Another trooper of the dark persuasion would be awesome! If you haven't already done so, I recommend visiting and joining the SpecOps forums:

    https://forum.specops501st.com

     

    I joined that forum last year as I'm in early stages of researching a Death Trooper. It's a great site for determining the best vendors for your build. Good luck with whatever you choose!

    The albums were set incorrectly, try now.

     

    For event coordinators or anyone making a group album for an event, make sure this option is selected:

    Yay, it worked. Now the images just need to be approved by a moderator. Sweet, thanks Ezra!

  3. Hey all. I have some photos from the Wolfpack game in Feb, and the Space Expo last month. Both of these events already have galleries created. When I go to upload photos into an existing gallery it does populates a pretty extensive list, but doesn't include either Wolfpack or Space Expo galleries that are clearly there. Are they locked differently than the others? I'm happy to create new galleries, but in an effort to prevent redundancy I thought it would be better to add them to the existing galleries. Any ideas? Maybe I'm missing something.

  4. Also just signed up for Saturday as Vader. Can't wait. 

    Also, question about wrangling. My last event was the Wolfpack, and my wife Lori was kindly welcomed as a wrangler. I understand Terrificon is a different kind of event so I just wanted to gauge how to go about inviting her into the festivities to help out again. Thanks!

    Those look great!  Love the chrome use and resulting effect!  Interesting choice of music though :)

    LOL. I was listening to Thomas Dolby’s “The Flat Earth” album in my workshop. I realized after I uploaded. But hey, that is a pretty killer trombone solo. :D

  6. A lazy Sunday made a perfect day to do some upgrades to the ol' suit. Finally decided to tackle the red lenses. 

    Comparing the old original amber/orange lenses with the new dark red plexiglass.

    Painted chrome. I know this has been done  a few times by others with white, but to my eyes the closeup images of RO Vader have a shiny look that accentuates the roundness from under the lenses.

    Video which more easily demonstrates the rounded reflective effect.

    Thanks!!! Now I need to start working on the armor. I need to see someone’s complete set up so I can see how the straps are attached.

     I hope we can have an armor party soon!

    I need to keep tabs on the next armor party. Would love to meet some of you. More importantly, this thread is putting the nail in the coffin for me. Definitely going to put Batman on hold and do a TK. Would love to see some the parts up close and get an idea on armor vendors.
