    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.

    It was perfect, the whole way through.  It singlehandedly made me care about Star Wars again 

    Agreed. And…Deathtroopers. Awesome. But honestly, the care given to the story was something special. And it inspired me to pick up Jedi Fallen Order again.

    Good morning Jason,

    Your information / picture, will be update by the CTG GML onto the 501st Legion board. Once that is done, you will be able to see yourself on the search among your sith group.

    Thank you Andy. I wondered if it might be something along these line. I appreciate the response. 

  4. I have no idea if this is the right place to post this, but it seemed the closest fit. Please redirect me if there's a better area on the forum. ?

    I am struggling to sort out how to get myself to appear in the search for the Sith Lord database. I am looking for SL-71329 and not seeing it:

    Also can't figure out how to upload images to my profile under the Garrison Roster on the 501st site:

    Since I'm the noob of all noobs, I assume I'm missing something obvious. Any help would be appreciated...I'd love to show off the new armor in all it's glory! ?

    Andor is the best Star Wars content ever

    Ezra, I can't believe I missed this comment. I have to say, the entire season was just perfect for me. Really looking forward to season 2...impatiently.

  6. Sick! I'm like you. I love Vader, so I built a Vader. But whether I should have started with a TK or not, I should still commit to building one at some point. Why? Because troopers are always having the most fun!! Also, the addiction thing is no joke. Vader was such a rush that when I finished I felt a little down, LOL. That's why I'm currently working out a spreadsheet for a Nightmare Batman build. But I feel like I'm digressing and hi-jacking your thread, sorry!

    The helmet is already looking great, can't wait to see more progress. ?

    I'm almost caught up on Andor.

     

    I've been very surprised at how well put on this one is.  They treat the audience like adults which is nice.

    Nice way of putting it. Nothing worse than being spoon fed, and dumbing everything down. It’s a proper sci-fi series for sure. 

  8. Anyone else been watching this series? This is a bold statement, but I have to say it's my favorite SW series yet (I know this is not a light statement, as Mando is incredible). Excellent character development going on in this series. Very cinematic presentation. Top shelf acting. It also helps that I'm a little biased, as Rogue One is one of my favorite SW movies. Also, big nod to the design of droid B2EMO. Trying to work out a way in my head to build one with servos and RC. 

    About the production of the series, it's definitely the Star Wars universe. But there are strong vibes of Blade Runner and Logan's Run to my eyes. Loving it. Going to catch Episode 10 right now.

  9. While I patiently await for approval, I've been continuing the little tweaks. 

     

    Based on recommendation from fellow SLD members, I added velcro to the belt and cod to eliminate the gap that occurs over time while wearing (visible in my approval pics).

    I also wanted to make sure I had enough battery life for a potentially lengthy suit up. I set up all electronic gear, and let it rip to burn it down while using all rechargeable batteries. After five hours of continual run time everything was still blazing. Very happy! Can't wait to break this costume in on Halloween in one week!

    I also just ordered some dark red plexiglass, and some computer mesh that I plan to paint silver. The lenses I have now are reddish enough, but I really want to match the Robe One screen specific images as closely as possible. Also, I just think it would be fun to learn how to make my own lenses from scratch. Would like to match this look:

    This is fantastic! I love how you handmade everything! That’s some skills right there!

    Thanks, bro! That's the whole thing that got me started down this path in the first place, scratch building.  In fact, the original state of that lighted box, as you see it at the beginning of the post, is the first part that I built for my previous Vader costume. Really appreciate the kind words, Jarred. ?
