The forums are still in the process of rebuilding themselves post upgrade. I expect the process will take about 48 hours or so to finish. It might take more based the percentages in the background processes. During this time you'll see broken links, missing images, and general slowness. I'll be monitoring this off and on and report back when the automated background work has finished. In the meantime, expect things to be a little off. Once the all clear has been given, please report on anything that is still broken. Thanks!

The armor parties are posted up on the SoCal Garrison forums in addition to being announced on the FB groups. The Orange County squad armor parties are usually posted in this forum: http://www.southerncaliforniagarrison.com/forums/index.php?showforum=194

1/32" is some pretty thin lines. Based on the screen shots, 1/32" is probably too thin.

No problem and good luck

Mine are closer to 3/32".

You can also use pin striping tape. It takes a bit of a steady hand but it will work.

The MB helmet is a single piece of resin. I just drilled holes in the sides to affix the covers.

I pack everything in 25 gallon Sterilite container. All parts fit beautifully inside with just a little of room left over. I use the pouches to keep things from moving around too much. As for scratches, I'm actually hoping on those to help weather it a bit. Though I don't really expect to see any. I have everything fairly well padded between the pouches, the suit, and the bund.

I think if the neoprene had a coat or two of gray plastidip it would look perfect.

I thought about using EVA foam for it and haven't ruled it out. I think gray neoprene might look better than foam though. For now I'm happy with the webbing, though I could stand to shorten them up a bit. When I had to re-acquire the chest and back plate I rushed on the sizing a bit to get it ready in time for SDCC.

I have the t-strap on the underside, too, and I ended up using gray nylon webbing for the top strap too. I couldn't get the rubber to bend so I nixed it. Printed some plastic "guards" and attached those. They looked decent but limited mobility a bit. The webbing top straps look pretty close to the references too.

I'd just gotten off my shift at the Koto booth and got requested to join in the RL photo to help bolster their numbers. I'll eventually submit this to the RL for membership. Eventually

I infiltrated the rebellion for a day.

Wookiepedia has us listed as Clone Scouts. I prefer CB over KT if only for the reason that I associate KT with a brave little girl and her pink astromech. But that could just be me.

I think it meant Clone Bikers but I like Clone BARCs. Most people I know think of it as a BARC anyways. Whenever I say Kashyyyk trooper I tend to get blank stares.

Thanks! It's good to be able to suit up again Now to finish the repairs on the new DC15 long.

This is what I ordered: http://airsoft-club.com/shop/tactical-gear/by-color/british-dpm-camo/british-dpm-desert-camo-bdu-uniform-shirt-pants It's lightweight and breathes decent. It's a mostly poly blend but it does take dye. To get it darker you will need to mix some black with the brown.

And my armor is back in action! After somehow misplacing some small items (chest plate *cough* and back plate/tank *cough cough*) things have been fixed and made troopable again. I'll post up some pics of the repairs once I get them off the phone. But here it is at San Diego Comic-Con!

I did something similar with mine. I have snaps on both ends of the rubber belt. I then added some snaps to a piece of elastic and I'm using that secure the belt. I still need to find a way to keep the belt from separating from the cummerbund.

You can get velcro to stick to the rubber parts but you need to do some prep work. First, scuff the bejeezus out of the area you plan to affix the velcro to. The adhesive needs a rough surface to adhere to. Next, clean it as best as you can. I also recommend adding just a bit of e6k to the rubber side before you afix the velcro. Let it set for a minute or so and then apply and clamp hard. That should do it. Good luck

I check in from time to time. Between running a detachment of my own, preparing for SDCC, and being the GML of SCG I'm swamped

Here's the boots I used. Once I replaced the insoles they became quite comfy and it was fairly easy to attach the toe caps. The tread isn't exact but I felt it looked close enough. http://www.amazon.com/Desert-Tactical-Boot-Zipper-Size/dp/B00474W1M0/ref=sr_1_5?s=shoes&ie=UTF8&qid=1370621280&sr=1-5&keywords=tactical+boots

Not that I know of but even if you could get them I would advise to use other boots. I have them and I doubt I'll use them due to issues with color, construction, and size.

Thanks brother!

I actually had to cut my indentation out because it was too shallow to hold the greeb and have it flush. Bondo and support plates won the day for me.
