Re: The 501st
So I have my first Troop to update you guys about. Maxwell Airforce Base in Montgomery asked the 501st to spare some bodies for an internal video they were putting together. They are in some kind of a video competition with a base in Japan.
Anyway here are a few shots:
And we were each thanked and rewarded with base coins:

Is it just me, or does Alabama look like a bottle opener?

LOL I hadn't noticed that! They did feed us pizza and beer (on tap in their galley) after the shoot. The Air Force really does have the best accommodations.

The Tusken needs to spend some time outdoors getting that thing dirty. He looks like the Tusken ambassador to Coruscant. At least do some sweaty yardwork in the mask.
The whole group looks good individually but there are definitely different levels collectively. Very cool stuff though, I didn't know it was so organized.

Re: The 501st
So I don't have to scroll up (because I'm lazy...), the orange shoulder is the officer one? And you were able to wear it because there were no other officers there?
And I like your armor a lot more. It looks used. Definitely not armor that looks better all shiny.

Re: The 501st
Well in the Star Wars cannon, no paudron = no rank, black = private, white = sergeant, orange = squad leader. In the 501st you just wear what you have. I own two colors so that not everyone would look the same at troops but i was the only Sandtrooper today so i went Orange.TheMix wrote: ↑Sat Apr 28, 2018 10:55 pm So I don't have to scroll up (because I'm lazy...), the orange shoulder is the officer one?

Re: The 501st
Not every establishment allows us to carry our blasters with us. Children's Hospital is one example. Schools are another example. Most troops carry things like electrobinoculars for these troops instead of their prop weapons. I am building a different prop for this.
I bought this fiberglass C3PO head off ebay:
And I have painted it:
And installed the working eyes (bad picture -- in real life the eyes have the right amount of light)
And I have audio electronics on the way to me that will loop his quotes such as 'HOW RUDE!', and 'OH MY!' etc. So the premise is that as a Sandtrooper I've found ONE of the droids I was looking for, but not THE droid.
