Dang, bro. It took you long enough to update this build thread, LOL! This looks awesome! And congrats on approval!! More troopers for Vader's garrison. 😁

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.

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!

I don’t see a Vader on this list yet so count me in! And count in Lori as an extra handler.

I don't know how often people check both threads attached to this event, so I'm cross posting here to let you know I pulled myself from the list for the Gala. I think I might have the flu. Good luck and have fun all!

I second this. From the perfect battle damage, and the digital armor readout to the dialed in voice. Your finish work is impressive! Sorry I put the kibosh on disintegrations Saturday.

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.

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. Rounded the edges. Heat gun and tennis ball trick. Computer fan mesh. 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. Cut to size. Finished from 6 feet. Closeups. The benchmark screenshot with increased exposure in PS. Video which more easily demonstrates the rounded reflective effect.

Cool, thanks!

For those that have done this before, is there a particular place that's best to park? Also, do we know where the meeting area is?

Never worked with Sintra before, but if what you are showing is representative of the fraying, it looks like perfect battle damage to me.

Jodo is safe as long as young Skywalker isn't there. Can't wait for this, it'll be my first troop!

Thank you for doing this, and for appeasing my inner SW child.

Oh, believe me, I wish I did! LOL

The DT-29 came out beautifully!

Thanks, Jarred! Looking forward to it. Should be a step up from the cardboard and sharpie trooper costume I tried making when I was like 7. LOL

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.

The helmet really delivers, Jerred! Excellent work.

Sick! Congrats!

That's embedded from my smug mug account. If you need it uploaded another way, just let me know.

Thank you, Jan. Sorry, been a busy week at work, just now seeing this!
